Spring forward!

I've always lived in Colorado, so to me, spring break is a delightful end to the monotony that winter can become. As a kid, it was a week to ski with no jacket on, or "lay out" for the start of a summer tan...as a college girl it was a chance to blow off steam before end of year finals - on a beach if we were lucky. Now, it's a time to let my daughter relax and be a kid, make summer plans, play games and read books together...whether that's on a beach or in the mountains makes no difference!


This year, we'll be headed to Buena Vista with Jeanie and her family and I can hardly wait for giggly nights in cute PJs with movies and big bowls of popcorn.

The other SOL girls have their get-aways planned, too!


Lara just got back from a week in Vegas where she wow'ed the Strip no doubt with those incredible eyelashes and vast array of Paris Tights. Girlfriend can seriously rock the tights. She won't say how she did at the Blackjack table, but we did notice she's been brown-bagging it all week.


Kendall spent some time with friends in Steamboat, skiing, dining and generally forgetting the world exists while she pretended to be a celebrity in very oversized sunglasses and a different Lise Charmel set each day under her ski clothes.

Janelle has returned from a whirlwind trip to Miami where she says she used all of her Spring Break "Essentials" - Aubade swimsuit, Bring-it-ups, and double-sided tape. (But not all at once.) Needless to say, we are anxiously awaiting the photo documentation of some of the items...here she is with some of the other pretty peeps of Miami making a splash in her Aubade one-piece. Lucky us the paparazzi caught this shot! 



I love hearing about other people's get-aways, don't you? So...for the next few days, we'll be asking you to share your favorite vacation photo with us on Facebook...on March 31st, we'll pick a winner to get a $100 SOL credit. 


In the meantime - have fun planning your spring celebration - be sure to stop by for your essentials! 


xo, Cindy
