We Need These Rain Boots in the World!

- July 6, 2011 | by April -

Today I’m asking for your help.

One of our own {meaning a lovely, awesome person in the creative community} is trying to get an amazing project funded, and she’s almost there. I think you’ll want to be a part of it.

Jessica Swift wants to make rain boots A LOT more fun. Here’s the concept straight from Jessica:

I am creating a line of patterned rain boots using my own quirky and colorful designs on the outside of the boots, and I’m putting secret, hidden message on the inside of each boot. What kind of messages? Loving messages. Empowering messages. Messages that will remind you each and every time you put on the boots that this is your glorious life, that you are amazing, and that you get to choose how you want to live it, right now.”

Pretty fun, right? Check out this video to get to know a little more about Jessica and her rain boots:

If you’ve never talked to Jessica, let me tell ya a little bit about her. When we talked on Skype, she was funny, giving, and super sweet. I’ve never met her in person, but I really hope we get that chance soon.

And, just so you know, she didn’t ask me to write a blog post about her venture. I just felt compelled, because I really think we need these rain boots in the world.

Click on over to the kickstarter webpage to see how you can help, and be one of the first people to get a pair of these super sassy rain boots. I can’t wait to wear mine with a cute jean skirt!
