Trying to Stop Swatting Skeeters! Camp Tested Para’kito Mosquito Repellent

Disclaimer:  I’m a mosquito magnet.  Growing up in South Carolina, I was always told that I must have the “sweet blood” mosquitos devour.  Oh they devour alright…even if I use bug spray.  There’s been some research revealing folks like me with O positive blood type are more attractive to the little boogers.  Plus, I’m a … Continue reading

Creek Tested Body Glove’s Dynamo Rapid Water Shoe

These are my favorite boots for traveling….ever!  On a girls trip a few years ago it was pouring in San Francisco.  Several of the girls bought the Aquatalia Odilia Boots at full price ($650) because it was pouring rain all weekend and they needed (and wanted!) some stylish waterproof boots. Fast forward to last summer, … Continue reading

Where Did You Get Those Snow Boots?

“Where did you get those snow boots?”  That’s a question I’m asked all the time when I wear my just below-the-knee lace-up gray boot with furry trim.  They’re Sorel Cate the Great and true the brand, they’re “fashionable and functional.” I actually got them shortly after I moved to Denver in 2010.  I’ve worn them … Continue reading
