Joules wellies...

I recently became acquainted with Joules -- a UK clothing company that has crossed the pond to the States. Kind of like my go to -- Boden. My first purchase was a pair of wellies that I love. They come in a variety of colors, hand-drawn patterns and styles -- glossy and matte finishes -- for the entire family. They are super comfy and made of high quality rubber to stand the test of time. Each pair comes with a one-year guarantee. The mid-height styles were designed to fit a "wider-range" of calves -- aka thick Irish/English legs. My heritage.

I'm especially smitten with the girls boots. If I had a daughter, I would buy her a pair for sure. If you're in the market for rain boots, add these to your Mother's Day wish list.

Just so you know. Wellies or "Wellingtons" were first worn and popularized by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. They became trendy with the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.

Joules recently launched a new product line of garden tools, furniture and accessories with Garden Trading -- another UK company. Now you can kick around your garden in your wellibobs and coordinating gardening gloves and feel like a true aristocrat.

Birchbox top ten...

Remember my post about box subscriptions last year? I've been very pleased with my Birchbox subscription. Mailbox bliss every month. And you never know what you might find inside when you open it. In addition to your monthly samples, Birchbox includes market finds. My favorite was Ghirardelli's newest flavor chocolate bar. It's so new that I can't find it in stores. Darn. Guess I'll have to take a trip to San Fran.

I've received many samples that don't appeal to me like perfume and hair products. Not a problem. My tween neighbors gladly take them off my hands. A Birchbox subscription would make a lovely gift for any product fanatic in your life. Or, you can treat yourself to one. Go ahead. You deserve it!
