technically, theyre called glittens.
its one of those silly words that someone made up. like brunch. or spork. or brangelina.

i have really cold hands. and feet. (which is why i have socks on 999999999789% of the time, but thats not the point.) the point is i have cold hands. but i also use text messaging to do a lot of my communicating throughout the day. gloves and mittens are really good at keeping my hands warm but really bad for texter-exting. so glittens.... (such a weird word... i cant decide if i like it or not. i feel like i should hate the GL sound. i mean words like glucose start with that dreaded GL. and glucose makes me think of science.... gag gag gag! but then after i hate the word, i think of glee and how thats a happy word... and glitter. i just cant decide! what do you think??? should i hate or love? i think maybe ill just remain anxiously uncomfortable with that word forever. glittens. i mean doesnt it just kind of hurt your ears?)
so glittens are the perfect solution! i can text and keep my palms and fingers nice and toasty! thank you whoever you are that created this useful, portmanteau-named object! even if the name is a little weird i will still buy at least 3 pairs this winter season. because i lose them. everywhere. the gym. at lunch places. in classes. somewhere in the deep crumby crevices of my backpack. seriously i lose them everywhere because i take them everywhere. same with sunglasses. one summer i went through 8 pairs of sunglasses. 8 whole pairs! but thats beside the point.
