Do you love your rain boots so much?

I believe every gilr is dreaming of having lots of pretty shoes- dress shoes, boots, slippers…Here I wanna share with all of you how a girl loves her rubber rain boots. I am posting her articles because her love from the bottom of her heart really moved me.

I Really Do Love My Rain Boots….

When I was little (I still am in a way, I’m only 5’1″) I remember looking at Sears catalogs and dreaming of being one of the children on the colorful printed pages. Everyone seemed so happy and had a smile on their face, even on pages depicting people stuck outside in a terrible rain storm!!

When I was little and rain began to pour during my walk home from school, I remember running like crazy, dodging into front porch landings along the way! By the time I reached home, my hair was dripping wet, my glasses fogged, I was drenched and shivering cold!! Nothing at all, like the dry, happy little people on the catalog pages!

After ripping off my soggy clothes and throwing them into the bathtub, I dressed into some warm, dry clothes and picked up that Sears catalog my parents so proudly displayed on the counter. I remember one particular time, looking through the pages with water dripping down my face. After a moment I realized it was not water, but my tears!! I sat on the bathroom floor, tears streaming down onto the photos, smearing the happy little faces, no longer recognizable!!

I wanted to be one of those people in the catalog… the ones with bright yellow slickers and rubbr rain boots!!! The ones smiling as they splashed around in rain puddles, with never a care in the world! I wanted to be the one with the, brightly colored, floppy hat that kept their hair dry even though raindrops seemed to be raining cats and dogs!

But, I wasn’t one of those, “lucky, special” people who lived on those pages. I wasn’t one of those people who seemed so happy, no matter the challenge they seemed to face. BUT, I WANTED a pair of those rain boots!!!!

In our family of eight, my parents barely had enough money to keep food on the table, let alone, spend money on frivolous items like rubber rain boots!!!! So, I never did get those boots I dreamt about, and I never became one of those people in the Sears catalog!!

But, I did grow up (even though I’m still a wee 5’1″) and I DID GET my RAIN BOOTS!!! I have 44 pair of colorful, ‘make me feel happy’ rain boots!!! And, I look for new and unusual rain boots nearly everyday.

I know I will never be one of those people in the catalog, and happiness is not one dimensional. I know now, it comes from within and does not come from things we buy or accumulate.

It still feels good and stirs up a happy feeling from deep inside, when I see and more so, wear a pair of my happy little rain boots!!! Not only do they keep my feet warm and dry, they bring a smile to my face each time I look down at my feet; the child inside is finally satisfied and happy to have rubber rain boots like the ones in the catalogs!

A good dresser can be compared to a fine artist

A good dresser, actaully, can be compared to a talented artist. An artist can paint on a canvas sneaker or bag; the good dresser has his own body as his canvas sneaker to display texture colour and fabric. The fine artist leaves a signature on his work of art; the good dresser also leaves a signature of impression on the mind of people who know him or her. Some are born with the talent to paint and draw, but mastery is attained through training and continuous practice; likewise, in dressing well, some people intuitively get it right, but we all can learn to be good at it by getting the knowledge and practicing it.

When you walk into a restaurant during office break time, you may observe a worker wearing company-branded lapel pin on a suit that is ill-fitting and faded; poorly matched tie and shirt; and unshaven facial hair, instantly you form an impression of the person and the organization he represents. Perhaps it is an organization that is not concerned with finesse of staff appearance; hence business details and customer service. So much personal and corporate information can be gathered from appearance of one person.

Even a ring on you finger and a canvas sneaker on your feet tell others who you are.

We should also realize the benefits of good appearance which includes: Getting the ‘unfair’ advantage, making a good first impression, projecting the right image, acquiring self-confidence and Earning the confidence of others.

How to make your canvas sneakers the most unique

Do you want to customize your canvas sneaker and make them unique? As they’re your shoes, it’s up to you to make a decision on what style you would like to paint on them.

To have your own style canvas shoes, you need white canvas sneakers as they are the simplest ones to paint on. Choose a sneaker made of either leather or vinyl. A canvas sneaker may also be used but could prove to be a much trickier surface for a beginner. Unless you are familiar with the many different types of paints and how they are applied to different surfaces, steer clear of canvas for now.

Before you start painting you need a rough plan of your paint. Draw a draft picture on paper or use photoshop to draw the image. This step is vital importance.

What would be the best type of paint to use for your sneakers? Paint markers are the best choice. You can find either online or in store. Some paint marker release very weak paint and some are watery. They are not the best quality ones for your canvas sneakers. Make sure the markers you choose have the thickest consistency for the best result.

Spray paint can also be used. As they are hard to control, you’d better use them on large canvas. If you are beginner, I suggest that you use spray paint for their custom sneaker project.

Once you’ve done your masterpiece, don’t forget to show your friends and family. You can also post them online as there are thousands of people on forum everyday. Some people may even offer to buy them! I truly believe one day your work of art will be popular in market!

The year of the Rabbit under the Chinese zodiac has already ends, it is really a long year, too long actually..

For while the Chinese associate rabbits with good luck, the rabbits themselves are the unluckiest of popular pets.

Rabbits are the only pet in America that we also hunt, eat and wear on a regular basis. And this honorary rabbit year led fortune seekers to breed and then abandon or kill more rabbits than ever before.

Open the Neiman Marcus catalogue and feast your eyes on page after page of products made of dead rabbits, from fur capelets to Davy Crockett-like hats. These are not animal slippers to wear, but made from real lifes. It is really something I dont want to see.When celebrating the rabbit year, people should protect more rabbit from being hurt or abandoned, instead of killing them.
