I’m friggin freezing. I don’t fare well in colder weather. (And by cold I mean anything below 65.) I could not even begin to imagine living in New England or the Mid-West, where some of our readers live. My hats off to you ladies, talk about Phenomenal SSMs! But seriously – the past week has been quite the chilly one here in this City by the Sea.  And to be honest I didn’t even go to class in college when it was too cold out, so now how much do you really think I want to get up and go to my day job?? Exactly. I need my own personal Cold Snap — something to snap me OUT of the cold.

Solution? Who ever invented drink umbrellas should receive a medal.

Think about it. What is one sure sign that triggers thoughts of sandy beachs, relaxing sounds, sun, bikinis, good times and fun loves?

The Drink Umbrella

The Drink Umbrellas

I just went and picked up a bag that I fully intend on putting in any drink I choose at any time I feel necessary. If not only to make me smile, but to also remind me of the fact that soon warmer weather will be back in my life. Oh sure, some people may stop and ask what on Earth is going on, and they may roll their eyes at how ridiculous they think I am — but I can guarantee I’ll be thinking much warmer thoughts than they are. And right now, that is all that matters to me.

Not sure if you want to brave the cold to go pick up a pack of umbrellas for yourself? Order some online here or to learn how to make them yourself here. Why not even throw a little drink umbrella party for you and your friends? Spice up that happy hour or coffee talk just a bit. Hear someone complaining about how cold it is outside? Pass them an umbrella or two & share the love.  Let’s start an Umbrella Revolution ;)

    LOVE THIS!! Went to brunch @ a friends’ restaurant on Sunday and my drink (a delicious concoction of fresh fruit juice, white wine and champers) came out complete with a festive drink umbrella. TOTALLY made my day!!!
