Lessons from Frozen

WARNING!! THIS BLOG POST DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS!!! IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE MOVIE YET GO DO THAT BEFORE READING THIS!!! So everybody’s been raving about the movie Frozen, and after finally watching it: I totally am too. One of the major things that everyone loves about Frozen, is that it promotes ‘girl power’.
