Paraskevidekatriaphobics Need to Cover Their Tracks
Paraskevidekatriaphobics need to cover their tracks on Friday the 13th. 2015 has three dreaded days this year—in February, March and November. Superstitions galore shroud Friday the 13th as an inauspicious (and, if you watched enough bad horror movies, abysmal, life-threatening day). Fear of Friday the 13th is the most widespread superstition in the US. So what’s a busy, rational mom to do about this pesky old-wives-tale? Prep for it. Go shoe shopping. Don a pair of lucky shoes to combat the bad mojo circulating.
Besides being super comfortable and cute, the Shell Embellished Wedges from Boston Proper also feature tiny cowrie shells on them. Those cowrie shells are a potent luck charm. Cowrie shells, said to be the “mouths of the gods” are a staple of amulets across the globe. Enjoy 10% off when you sign up for their emails—and we promise, no chain letters.
