Smitten Mittens, the Best New Candy in the World, and the New Version of Blogger

Here's what I was talking about at the end of the Snuggie post...

the Hand Hugger!!! Lee found their website and has already chosen his prize from my etsy shop for doing so.  

Are you "tired of struggling with holding hands while wearing gloves?"  If so, you should go to www.handhugger.com where you'll find the solution to all your winter hand holding problems.  

And guess what?  Yup, they're made in Utah.  I knew there had to be Utah Mormons behind this ridiculousness.  Okay, well I don't know for sure that the owners of the company called Smitten Mittens who make the Hand Huggers are Mormons, but I'm just going to assume that they are, because they probably are.  

Check out this picture...isn't that romantic?  Getting kissed on a mountain top while your arm is twisted awkwardly behind your back while your lover grabs your bottom with his hand, and yours.  

Here's my FAVORITE quote from their website.  I must share.  Oh and I copied the quote exactly how it is written on the website, punctuation and all.  (And you thought I was bad with improperly using ellipses and writing major run on sentences!)

"Going on a first date...why not take along a Hand Hugger, who knows...Wouldn't grandma and grandpa look cute using them on their walks...The possibilities are endless."

First of all, I don't know how they got straight from a first date to grandma and grandpa, all in one sentence.  Second of all, I can't imagine a more awkward thing to bring on a first date.  Haaaaaaaaa as if first dates aren't awkward enough as it is...throw in a Hand Hugger and it's a recipe for disaster if you ask me.  Endless possibilities?...that might be a bit of a stretch.  

But speaking of things that aren't recipes for disaster...have you guys tried the new Junior Mints Candy Coated Minis?  Because if you haven't, you should.  They are the best (and worst) thing that's happened to me this Christmas season.  (Thank you Audrey for introducing them to me.)  

Christmas used to be awesome because of Mint M&M's, but then the Mint M&M's got all fat and weird and aren't as good as they used to be.  But, luckily we now have these...

awesome candies.  They are way better than a Junior Mint and way better than a Mint M&M, in my opinion.  

But, good luck finding them.  I've scoured the Salt Lake Valley looking for these and they are not easy to find.  Now that I have what I need stocked up for the season I guess I can tell you that the only place I've found them is at Harmon's.  It's probably because they are 4 bucks a bag there, so they've lasted longer than at other places.  Or, maybe the other places never got them.  But you should go get some...they're worth every penny.  I promise. And, if you buy them and don't like them, I'll take them off your hands.  

The third topic for this post is the new version of Blogger. I just want to say how much I LOVE the new blogger.  If you are still using the old Blogger, you should switch over.  It only takes about 5 minutes to get used to the new version and it is WAY EASIER to use, especially when it comes to moving around and inserting pictures, and with the spacing between paragraphs...my two biggest complaints about Blogger.  I was seriously thinking of moving my blog over to WordPress, but now that they've made changes to the two most annoying things about Blogger, I think I'll stay awhile.  

The new version doesn't have spell check, but I have recently discovered that you don't need Blogger to have spell check if you use Google Chrome as your web browser because Google Chrome has it's own spell check that is way better than Blogger's spell check anyway.  

Okay, I'm sounding like a total blog nerd so I'm going to end this post, but I promise, switch over to the new Blogger.  The quality of your life will increase drastically.  Oh, and go get a Hand Hugger and some Junior Mints Candy Coated Minis too if you want your Christmas to be AMAZING.
