Welcome to Vancouver: as gray and rainy as a Twilight love scene for pretty much the entire winter. It’s almost enough to make me want to curl up in my bed and watch the entire selection of romantic comedies on Netflix—even the ones with dogs. Thankfully I got a pair of Bogs this Christmas.

They are warm and rain proof and most important of all super bright and colorful and just what I need to motivate myself on those drizzly days to get up and get on that computer…and maybe even go outside sometimes.

So thank you Bogs, you inspire me.
