There’s nothing quite like an 80º day in the middle of January—only in California. The past week was a nice break (and tease) from the normally chilly days so we took advantage of it and swung open the doors, did a little gardening and soaked in some vitamin D. Sadly I think our mini heat wave is coming to an end but something tells me Spring will be here sooner than later. A quick side note for those in the Santa Barbara area, Benefit Cosmetics is hosting a party at their new store location 925 State Street tomorrow 1/24 from 7 – 9 pm. You don’t have to twist my arm for bubbly and a mini-makeover! I hope to see you there!
