Favorite winter skin lotions

I'm sure that these can be used outside of the North Pole, but these are some tight skin wonders. When I wake up in the morning, my face and hands are tight.  Like they are saying, water me! The air is so dry up here.  So, I have found a couple things that I am in love with and would probably freak out if I ran out.  This is on top of my normal skin care.

 

 So, these body butters are the cream of the coffee.  Or crop.  Whatever.  

This tub of wonder sinks into the skin and keep my skin so hydrated.  They come in a billion scents.  My favorites are honey, almond, shea and argan oil.

They are pricy unless you stock up at TJ Maxx because they are 5.99 instead of $20.00

 

Buy at TJ Maxx or here

This Aveda face cream was given as a gift to me.  

It is used on days I need a lot of extra moisture on my face.  

You need very little. Its so thick, but is magical and keeps my skin in check.

 

 Buy here

So during the day, if you have your make-up on or not, and you feel like you need a little hydration, spray this on.  It's a hydrating mist you can use any time.  

It smells like roses.  

I rest my case.  

And it's $7 at Ulta.

 

 Buy here

I will never use a different hand creme.  I have used this for years.  It is not greasy or runny.  It absorbs really well and lasts a long time.  Give it a try.  

I have a tube that I have had in my purse for over a year.  

 

 Buy here

I own about 8 Dr. Hess Udder Sticks.  I grab one or three each time I go to the store with a W that is the opposite of Target.  I only go there for these.  Allegedly.  

 

Buy here or at W

 What are your favorite winter weather skin savers?

Have a great day

Sunday favories-{a follow-up}

Can we first do a little follow-up story?  Remember this post from November?
Let's add me calling stores all over the US for this dang dress, checking ebay, the internet.  This is basically stalker type of stuff.
So, fast-forward to December say 23rd.
Place: Grand Rapids, MI Anthropologie.

Now, the last time I dragged my mom to Anthro, it was for a fun (I can't even type this I'm laughing so hard) "holiday workshop".  Workshop is what we thought was making some super cute decoration or a take-home item.  Nope.  It was working to make their holiday window displays.  At one point, they gave us a break, lucky us, and I looked over and my mom was the only one working. lol

We crimped this silver paper stuff.  So weird.  This is what it looked like.  Imagine going for a fun craft and being put to work.  But such a good story.

Back to the good stuff.
It was an extra 20% off day.  I dragged my mom there and apparently everyone else got my special email about the sale.  I always go to the clearance room first.  Sometimes I try not to, but I just feel like an itchy sweater.  Something is wrong when I do that.

I was looking at the rack of dresses.  Then I looked a second time from the other side of the same rack.

I saw her.

In my size.

I attacked my mom.  I attacked the sales lady (who probably thinks I was either a nut-ball or high).  And of course I told her too much.  The whole long story.

She made Christmas so much prettier!  And my cute cousins and photo-bombing Uncle. ;) 

 

Remember kids, persistence pays off.  And makes you look cray-cray.
