Cold Hands, Warm Hearts


I am so excited to write up this blog post.

A month or so ago I was seeing tweets for something called "Cold Hands, Warm Hearts". After channeling my inner sherlock (and by inner sherlock I mean typing phrases into google) I found out that Cold Hands, Warm Hearts was a lil bloggie event that Ilene and Sandy hosted.

Basically, a bunch of bloggers sign up, Sandy and Ilene hook you up with a partner, and you swap a pair of gloves (or other goodies) with your new BFF.

When I got Kimmie from Sugar and Dots I was all like "whoa, jack pot". She's super sweet, super funny, and pretty sure we were separated at birth.

The second we found out we were each other's partner we instantly became besties. Our emails range in topics to attempting to bring back fanny packs to figuring out a way to make an all girl version of the 1990s hit rap group "Kriss Kross" (we would obviously keep the tradition alive of wearing our clothes "krissed krossed" by sporting our fanny packs backwards) (clearly) (please tell me you know who kriss kross is) (if not please take the next 3 minutes and 18 seconds to re-familiarize yourself) (you are welcome in advanced)

Check out the suh-weet swag Kimmie got for me!


Ballin Mustard Scarf?

Check.

Super cute handmade Mustard, Black & White Hair Bling?

Check.

Oh hey, where your gloves be at??


Bam.

Oh yes, those would be Handerpants on my digits.
These gloves are solid. They even make me bust out into "Jazz Hands" and Madonna's "Vogue" dance.


Betcha didn't know there was such a thing out there as underwear for your hands, huh?

Thank you so much Kimmie for all your swag!!! I am so happy we got to "meet" via this awesome swap.

Check out what I sent Kimmie here.

Also? Wanna be BFFs with her and be part of our Girl Rap Group?

you can find her at these places!

Linking up with Ilene from Much Love, Illy <3

    Don't try to compare us to another bad little fad
    I'm the mac and I'm bad give you something that you never had.
    I'll make ya bump, bump wiggle and shake your rump
    'Cause I'll be kicking the flavor that makes you wanna jump.

    (Off the top of my head, yo.)

    Love you, boo. You can rock some handerpants like no one's biz. (cupcake jazz hands)
