Swirls and Twirls

For the past 3 years, I have worked as a weekend supervisor at Swirls and Twirls a frozen yogurt store in Oceanside. The store is most popular for its delicious frozen yogurt flavors and abundance of toppings and sauces, although we also have smoothies, fresh juices, cappuccinos and warm treats. My favorite flavor yogurt is birthday cake mixed with chocolate cookies. After I like to top my yogurt off with rainbow sprinkles and marshmallow sauce. Despite the mouthwatering delights Swirls and Twirls also has children's birthday parties. Every party package includes face painting, glitter tattoos, pizza, games, giveaways, and yogurt, of course! I love running the birthday parties because it is so much fun, and I seem to connect with the children well. Swirls and Twirls is open all year round and satisfies everyone's craving.

  4. I really like the visuals here, and I enjoyed reading about your frozen yogurt place. My stepdaughter used to work at Carvel. She explained how hard it was to learn to swirl that ice cream onto the cone. She made many mistakes until she mastered it.
