Rainy Days

RAIN RAIN, GO AWAY...OR STAY?

I know, I know, rainy days are not everyone's favorite, but try changing your point of view. View rain as confetti from the sky. Doze off into a peaceful slumber while listening to the raindrops hit your window. After those stormy showers, perk up because you will be sure to enjoy that refreshing, post rain smell and beautiful rainbow.[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="3711"]

When you see the forecast calls for rain, do not fret. Take a peek in your closet, grab your raincoat, rain boots and head out into the pitter-patter. Don't let the drizzles give you the blues. Rainy days can make for some of the most fun and productive days, in my opinion.10 REASONS WHY RAINY DAYS ARE MY FAVORITE :

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU RAINY DAYS, GRAB YOUR PUDDLE JUMPERS (AKA HUNTER BOOTS)

Jumping in puddles is really enjoyable, and for everyone, not only kids. It's a good way to relieve stress and act a little sillier then usual. As we grow older, I believe we subconsciously care more about how we are perceived. That being said, jumping into a puddle might sound fun to you, but whether you decide to actually go for it is the real question. Life is short, so on the next rainy day, if you have the proper footwear, don't walk around the puddles.[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="3726,3721,3730,3723"]

You can't go wrong with Hunter Boots, I promise. They're an excellent investment and you won't be sorry with this purchase. Hunter boots come in an array of colors, sizes and styles. They are very durable, fashionable and will most definitely keep you dry. I love how they look and feel on my legs and feet. If you're not used to them, they may seem a bit heavy at first, although you will get used to them in no time. After selecting the style and color, you then have to choose between the matte or shiny finish. I personally prefer the matte look, although the shiny finish is classic and always looks nice. Another element that adds to the reasons why I love Hunter Boots is that they produce a variety of fun, textured inserts that can be added to keep you additionally warm and looking even more stylish. These boots are good all year round, especially if you live in the northeast. It doesn't matter if it's raining or snowing, these boots have become my go-to and staple in my closet. I love staying dry and confidently being able to walk through puddles!
