Smartwool Socks

Princess Diana - December 11, 2019 - Birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Gifts for Him, Gifts for Me

As a kid and young adult, the thought of giving or receiving socks as gifts made me want to vomit. Lame.

I’m in my 30’s now and I’ve officially changed my stance because of one, specific brand… Smartwool.

Smartwool socks are high-quality socks made of Merino wool.

Merino wool is not traditional wool. It’s much softer and lighter. It has amazing qualities such as being all-natural, moisture-wicking (perfect for people with sweaty feet like me), antimicrobial, and breathable.

It’s truly nature’s miracle fabric!

Artisanal Ice Cream in Fun Flavors

Really good ice cream in fun flavors. That’s what I want. Any time of year.

One of my favorite flavors is goat cheese ice cream. Hey. Don’t knock it until you try it. Trust me.

One time a friend bought me a pint of Jeni’s Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. Absolute heaven!

Have you heard of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams? It’s an artisan ice cream company, which means real people use real (vs. synthetic) ingredients to make the highest quality ice cream.

The company is known for always coming out with fun, inventive flavors!

The Gift of Happy Feet

When I traveled for a work conference to Las Vegas, I knew I would do miles of walking, and I didn’t want my feet to blister and ache.

Since wearing tennis shoes wasn’t an option, I decided it was time to invest in some high quality shoes with built-in arch support.

Giving myself the gift of happy feet made the biggest difference in the world!

Not once did my feet hurt during my four-day trip even though I walked long distances each day traveling from my hotel to the convention center and back multiple times and walking to various hotels in the evenings to go to shows and restaurants.

I’ve been to Las Vegas several times before, but this is the first trip where I made the comfort of my feet a priority. At least I’m getting wiser as I get older! I still shudder at the memories of the excruciating pain I put my feet through during my 20s.

I’ve learned that when my feet are happy, I’m happy! And that it’s worth the extra money to pay for high quality shoes that provide remarkably better comfort, materials and design.
