Just a quick check in before El Hub and I head down to the city for an early dinner. I thought it was gonna be sunnier today (like it was yesterday), but at least it isn’t raining. What’s shakin’ out your way?

It’s snowing here
Talk about an awesome first day of spring!… NOT.
Oh boy. Is it still snowing!?
At this moment, it’s not anymore… it kept snowing throughout the day though! Crazy. Totaled 12 inches!!
We started spring break over the weekend so I KNOWWWW I won’t be doing much this week. But get this — it’s supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow and 71 on Tuesday! What kind of wacko weather is this?
I have Pacifica’s Tahitian Gardenia candle and it smells SO GOOD even when it’s not lit.
Meghan’s last blog post… sneaky new zoya pic!
I bet I would loooove the scent of that candle!
Thanks for the links. Have fun in the city. Do you know where you guys are going to dinner? I love SF. Have you ever been to Slanted Door? It’s like Vietnamese fusion and great. Highly recommend it.
We ended up going to Harvey’s in the Castro. The food was pretty good, and the service/vibe was great!
It’s SNOWING in my neck o’ the woods. Seriously, I am so sick of snow! I’d take a tornado over this snow right about now.
I just ordered three more shirts from my favorite online shop. I hope to God it’ll be warm soon so I can wear them!
I have to type up a paper tomorrow. I so don’t feel like writing it write now!
New spring shirts are always fun. What do they look like?
Good luck with your paper!
I got Abstract, Renny (in white) and Lots of Bows (in peach) from here->
KLPigMentShop
I think I look at that site weekly. I have two other shirts from her. I wear one shirt so much that my mom teases me if I have any other shirts.
Thanks for the link love, girl! The weather over in my neck of the woods has been pretty erratic, too — it was gorgeous today (gorgeous enough to warrant an hour-long walk on my part,) but it dipped down to about -3 Celsius yesterday! (About 37 Fahrenheit.) Brrr :/
Rae’s last blog post… Transitioning red lips into the spring
Soon enough it’ll be warm (hopefully!). How hot does it get up in your neck of the woods?
Speaking of snow, it’s the last day of my spring break and there is 6 inches of snow outside.
That’s so crazy!
How was your spring break? What did you end up doing?
For the first day of Spring, we had thunderstorms, rain all day and temps in the 30s. So weird! It was a good weekend htough … pretty chill, which I like!
Oh no! I hope the weather is a little nicer today.
It’s a little cooler here, too… overcast and in the mid-60s.
Happy Sunday!
I subscribed to this blog yesterday, and I couldn’t be more excited about stumbling across it. I’m looking forward to all there is to come!
The Korres products also do without silicones for all of their products. I’ve just converted to using their products and they’re great.
