I was really excited on Friday when these new boots came!
They are Whooga ugg Boots
Points of clarification on the boots I received:
Whooga is the brand.
And the word ‘ugg’ simply means the style of sheepskin boots.
There are other brands of ugg boots, such as UGG Australia and many others.
But I chose these lovely purple fuzzy numbers from Whooga.
They are so soft, so fuzzy, and I can see these being my new best friends.
Yes, I am one of those Southern California girls who walks around with shorts and ugg boots on when it’s 72F and sunny out.
I have a few pairs that I’ve bought over the years, but nothing as cute or soft and plush on the inside as these purple ones! Just having them on was like a treat on my skin. So soft and fuzzy!
Other than getting excited about my purple boots, I was excited about some plants.

Juicy grapes are simple but exciting when you find that perfect, crunchy grape.
I also crunched on some homemade crackers. Vegan, GF, Nut-Free, and Cinnamon-Sugary. You could also go savory with them.
Bake in the oven or dehydrate them. Either way, you’ll like them.
I posted my cracker recipe nearly one year ago when I got sick of paying for Mary’s Crackers and wanted a sweet, gluten-free, seed-based cracker. I have always loved cinnamon & sugar crackers. I used to love cinnamon and sugar graham crackers as a kid.From my last post balancing it all, and whether or not you feel balanced in your life, thanks for chiming in on what makes you stressed and whether or not you live your life feeling mostly balanced, or mostly out of balance.
And because I was running out to an appointment, I had my post set auto-publish, but I did it wrong there was a glitch and then my Balancing It All post and my Candy Friday post got a bit mixed up for a couple hours on my site. Not a biggie, but just letting you know in case you missed either of those.

3 minutes, vegan, GF. Enjoy!
Questions:
1. Do you like boots?
I love boots! I own some cowboy boots, fashion boots in all heights, i.e. ankle, calf, over the knee, a few pairs of ugg-style boots. So yes, I love boots. So does Madeline.
Boots may not always be the most practical footwear in San Diego, and I do wear flip-flops 365 days a year at some point each day, but I also love throwing on boots. Especially soft, fuzzy boots!
2. Have you ever worn any sheepskin ugg-style boots?
Yes, I have the UGG Australia brand in light tan and in darker brown. And also have another ugg-style brand that’s sand colored with laces. If your life-path does not include wearing leather or animal products, that’s cool too.
And Skylar has bright pink Target-brand ugg boots. Scott even has some camel-colored UGG Australia boots but he’s not going to model them for you.
She asks me every day, “Mommy, can I wear my boots?” The apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree.
3. Weekend plans or anything fun happening?
I am working, and possibly getting together with a friend tomorrow, but things are still tentative on that. Either way, I will have plenty to keep myself busy with my errands, kitchen and meal prep, working out, and just handling life. And hopefully will still feel balanced.
Enjoy your weekend!
Those are SUPER cute! I love ugg style boots. Josh is not a fan (unless I wear them under my jeans ;)). Juicy grapes are always worth getting excited about. We have had such a lovely weekend. One of my best friends is in town and we went to the gym and took step/pump today and then walked around Charleston all afternoon.
Love boots, especially your purple ones.
My fav. pair are black leather knee high boots…
More stylishy/less hookery (if you know what I mean)
I always feel extra confident when I wear them.
I love your daughter’s boots. She looks so cute! :)
whoooga boots are so cute!! i love the color you got too :) so perfect for spring! haha they remind me of easter which reminds me of jelly beans which reminds me of the only reason i really like easter haha
enjoy your weekend girly!
love love love your boots!!
My sheepskin boots are my favorite footwear! Walking around in the day with boots as soft as slippers is my kind of heaven, enjoy yours : )
Those are so cute!! Are they made of faux sheepskin?
they are real, not faux.
LOVE THOSE BOOTS! Purple is my color!! :)
I own some cheap ugg-like boots that I got on sale. I love that they keep my legs nice and warm!!
I love ugg boots because they’re so comfy & warm. However, I really only wear them in cold climates, like in the East Coast during winter (or more recently in Scotland).
In CA I always see girls walking around in short shorts & uggs & I never can understand it! Doesn’t your feet get sweaty in there? lol sorry if it’s TMI.
I dont really have a sweaty issue with them. I mean, if it’s truly HOT out, i dont wear them, but on chilly days or evenings, they’re perfect.
I have a pair of generic uggs from Target, and I can only imagine how great the real ones are.
My plans for the day WERE to work all morning, but that went kaput (after I left my house at 7 AM ON SAT!! GRR), so now I’m going to head to Verizon to play with the iphone (Do you love yours still?) and then the bookstore to check out the new ipad. I might be dropping some serious cash money this morning….
omg you would LOVE these…they will be perfect for your new WI-bound life. I still cant believe…
You willl LOVE the iphone. Get it. 100% hands down, get it. No reservations at all and i only use about 10% of the phone’s tech abilities. There is SO MUCH it can do!
Love the boots! I’ve been looking for a vegan alternative to Uggs because they’re perfect for freezing winters here.
1. Yes and finding great vegan pairs in my size has been a challenge.
2. Yes, I’m still killing a pair of Uggs purchased in my non-vegan days, but will look into these when I replace them. Truthfully I rarely wear them outside the house, but they’re perfect to throw on after running around in less-comfortable boots in cold and rain at work all day.
3. Just relaxing and running, not too exciting.
well these are not vegan but they sure are soft and comfy :)
There is a link to truly vegan, waterproof, warm uggs on my website. They are also feature on Girlie Girl site.

Neurara is the brand and I sent a link to a photo. They are the same price as Uggs, but waterproof!!
I usually never wear Ugg boots because I feel like the don’t have enough support in them. But they are convenient!
Those purple boots are so fun!!
I love boots — if I only had one pair of shoes, I’d pick boots. Love them all.
I have a pair of tall cardi Uggs that I would wear everyday if I could. So comfortable and warm!
Have a great weekend!
love the boots! the color is so different
love the ugg boots!! Purple is my absolute all time favorite color! Those are too cute. I am so excited for warmer weather, but I’m a little sad to see boot season go :(
