I'm definitely jealous. Switzerland! Snowboarding! Ugh, I want to go! Plus the Mulled Wine and Homemade Tarte au Citron look ah-ma-zing. I don't know what Mulled Wine and Homemade Tarte au Citron are, but I want.

@unladylikebehavior.com Mulled Wine is hot red wine with species (it's delicious!) and Tarte au Citron is a lemon cake. Best to recover some energy (and corporal warmth)

Wow, that's awesome! I've tried snowboarding/skiing a couple of times but I'm terrible. I think I definitely need lessons. No better place to try than Switzerland!

Wellll funny you ask… I actually tried snowboarding over the weekend but sadly did not have the same enjoyable experience. Maybe a 2-hour lesson from an instructor might have helped..

I just blogged about my traumatic experience snowboarding if you want to check it out! http://graphicdesignconfessions.blogspot.com

Stopped by from FTLOB- great blog! :)
