Waking up in the cold

Do you ever have those mornings that no matter what you are wearing the wind pierces through your clothes?  This morning was that kind of morning.  I stood at my front door for a good two minutes watching the wind patterns to try to determine the best time to run to my car with the least amount of wind.  (Yes, I am aware the act of running creates wind….)  Before running to my car I put on my trusty Koolaburra boots.  They are lined with shearling all the way to the toes and they are easy pull ons.   My favorite thing about Koolaburras not only are they super comfy and warm, but they allow me to express myself better than boots of similar styles.   Click here to see what I mean!

Floating in my Fanning flip flops.

I love going on float trips, you can do it in canoes, kayaks or my favorite in giant intertubes.  The problem with floating is shoes choices can be difficult.   Do you wear the unisex boat shoes (no, thank you!) or do you go barefoot (sharp rocks…owww!).  So what do you do?  I found the answer.  They are flip flops made by Reef, they are called the Fanning.  These flip flops are able to get wet and they have lots of cushioning for times you have to get up and walk your boat or tube over the really shallow areas.  These parts are great, but they are not best part of these shoes Go ahead flip them over, they have a bottle opener on the bottom!  See now you know why they make intertubes especially for coolers.  I have the black, which are really men’s.  Since I wear a size 8 M in women’s I just purchased the size 6.0 in men’s and they fit perfectly.   Happy floating!  Check out my Fanning Flip Flops here.
