Transcript excerpt

Luis Carmen notebook this, Luis Carmen notebook that. Do you remember the original? The hot chocolate notebook. Girls who own Luis Carmen notebooks now used to be hot chocolate girls. These were everything to me along with my Vera Bradley binders, but I had the blue ones, obviously. It was the chocolate latte collection, very similar to the hot chocolate collection. This was the front. These were iconic, and I miss notebooks like this and where can I find them along, again, with my Vera Bradley binders? Everything I wrote down was correct and right.
