Strawberry Moon On 14 June 2022

Late last evening just as I was about to take my shower, Cass ran inside the house excitedly, exclaiming “mum, come and look at what I saw, come. The moon is so huge!”

With a headache from lack of sleep, I reluctantly went out to check out the moon. What greeted me was a super huge moon in the clear sky. What a spectacular view it was. I quickly ran back inside the house to grab my phone and the phone camera cooperated with me this time; I managed to snap quite a clear photo of the Strawberry Moon. I later found out from a member in our neighborhood Facebook group that the supermoon in June 2022 is named Strawberry Moon.

What is a Strawberry Moon?

The Strawberry Moon doesn’t look like a strawberry, neither is it pink in colour. This name has been given to the full moon by native American tribes. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, “This name (Strawberry Moon) has been used by Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, among others, to mark the ripening of ‘June-bearing’ strawberries that are ready to be gathered.

This will be the first of the three summer supermoons.

Did anyone sight the Strawberry Moon too last night?

3 Reasons Why You Should Get Winter Boots

Winter weather means paying close attention to your wardrobe choices, including your footwear for the cold and slippery grounds outside. Many boots lovers prefer Shelivo winter boots when there’s snow on the ground or the weather is a mix of snow and rain.  Here are three reasons why winter boots are the perfect choice for the colder months.

1.  Keep Your Feet Warm and Dry

This is the most obvious reason.  A good pair of winter boots can keep your feet warm and dry. Choose boots that will not absorb moisture as you trudge through the snow. The shell must repel moisture and help keep your feet dry. Who likes wet socks and feet after an outing outside in the snow?

The other feature to look out for in a good pair of winter boots is the type and quality of the lining. Choose materials such as fleece, fur, sheepskin, or synthetic and natural fibers for the liners to trap heat inside. Some winter boots come with removable liners and replacement sets that you can use when the dirty liners need to be laundered.

2.  Provide You With The Comfort You Want

For all the practical benefits that come with winter boots, there’s also the comfort factor. The comfy cushioning is best for your arches, and the boot materials allow your feet to breathe without allowing freezing air to seep in.  This makes it really comfy to wear the boost for long hours if necessary and feel as if you just slipped into them.

3.  Provide Your Feet With Support

Comfort is only one of the benefits of winter boots. You’ll also get the support for your feet and ankles. Find a pair of winter boots with good support so that you won’t have to experience swollen ankles or aching feet at the end of the day. Visiting the podiatrist is the last thing you look forward to in winter.

Don’t know where to find fashionable and comfy women’s winter boots? Take a look at Shelivo winter boots and see what you think. There will be at least one pair that’s just what you need and most importantly, they’re affordable.
