Damn. Winter isn’t over. These days seem either to be wicked cold, wicked snowy or wicked damp-and-cold. A bright spot? Airplus Aloe Infused Ultra Moisturizing Socks ($6.99), which come in pink, blue and purple, solid, striped and polka-dotted. One recent cranky morning (the Staff is a bad influence), I spotted a blue pair in my drawer and thought, “hey, maybe those’ll make me feel better.” And yup, those soft, aloe-infused blue fuzzy socks kicked the blues away quite nicely, and my feet said, “hey, good thinking,” too.
Sure, maybe wearing them with my boots wasn’t a great idea — I left blue fuzzies all over my power-plate trainer’s spotless private studio à la that “Star Trek” episode, The Trouble with Tribbles, and found more when I went to put my boots on again the next day. But my feet felt wonderfully coddled, cosy and comfy, and yes, moisturized, and wearing them around the house with slippers is a bit of a treat (less fuzzy but still soft after a few sock-washes).
So now I have this to say to persistently wintery days: Fuzz off.
Airplus Aloe Infused Ultra Moisturizing Socks are available at Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharmaprix, Zellers Pharmacy, London Drugs, Loblaw DRUGStore Pharmacy and leading drug, grocery, discount stores and Well.ca (free shipping in Canada; no minimum order!). Image courtesy of Airplus.

I have been secretly collecting the fuzzies to make you a sweater!!!
:)
Hah! Not so secret now! *grin*
I have some of these and I LOVE them. They’re perfect for cozy toes around the house.
Yes! I’m wearing a pair right now. Black ones, washed multiple times and still soft and moisturize-y. In my boots!
The purple ones (pictured) are the best: moisturizing muppet feet!
Muppet feet! I dig it.
I call them the Peter Ashworth socks! LOVE them.
Yes! Cuddly, cosy, warm-fuzzy Peter Ashworth socks!
