Sure, the Gators women’s’ 🏀lost to LSU, but on the bright side, we all got our steps in walking out early. Cardio + camaraderie = a win in my book. 🐊 #GoGators

A fiery sunrise in Gainesville, but don’t let the drama in the sky fool you—it’s so cold (by Florida standards) even the gators 🐊 are knitting scarves.

No worries though, by 10 AM it’ll feel like spring again. 😂#FloridaWinter
