After hearing many good things, I decided to buy one pair of Smart Wool socks for my husband and myself. There are claims that they can last for almost a decade and I want to see if that is true. SmartWool also claims that 10% of every website order goes toward some organization that “promote environmental stewardship, healthy lifestyle choices for youth, and encourage responsible outdoor activity participation.” I got the pair of socks that was labeled as a heavy duty outdoor socks. I want to try wearing it indoors primarily as we plan on keeping the thermostat low or off.

I also purchased a pair of slippers from North Star Trading Co that I’ve previously mentioned. I think it will be really neat if we go the entire winter without turning on the thermostat. However, I should probably think of my compost worms, they may not like the extreme cold weather.
