Love Me Some Lemonade.

My new handbag staple: Philosophy's Old-Fashioned Lemonade Moisturizing Hand Cream ($15). It's rich enough to keep my hands smooth after several washings with my office's standard-issue soap, doesn't leave my hands too greasy, and the smell. is. divine. I'm not into super sugary scents (or super sweet food, for that matter.) But this dream cream's refreshing tartness with just a modicum of sugary sweetness is utter olfactory luxury to me. It smells JUST the way my favorite lemonade in the WORLD, Chik-Fil-A's diet lemonade smells.

Have we discussed this? I LOVE CHIK-FIL-A. Their nuggets are to die. Every time I eat there, I think about Stuart MacKenzie's feelings about KFC and how certainly, they must also apply to Chik-Fil-A as there is most definitely an addictive chemical in their nuggets that makes you crave them fortnightly. I actually ate there this past weekend with Daneen after we took in a showing of Twilight (what else?) and I mused during Edward's explanation that Bella's blood is like "his own personal brand of heroin," that I know how he feels. Because I feel that way about Chik-Fil-A's chicken nuggets with one of their large diet lemonades.

Oh and just like the real thing - it comes in a pink lemonade scent as well! Chik-Fil-A: Are you listening?

Happy Wednesday!

Handle with Care.

Oh hello, dolls!

It's been a DOG'S AGE! So, as I mentioned, opening/closing boxes and touching 1000 articles' worth of NEWSPRINT = torture for my hands. No joke, this morning I got a "leather cut" from a leather portfolio--not even a paper cut--because my hands are still that dry.

I need to run out today and buy some Eucerin Intensive Repair Hand Creme ($5), which my friend Lauren introduced me to. It is truly the best. This thick, fast-absorbing lotion provides a "moisture glove" instantly which manages to coat your skin without making you feel greasy. You know? Like when you worry you're going to ruin your outfit? It's not that kind of party. It's fragrance free, so even dudes won't mind using it. And? It lasts foreva-eva (to be said in the voice of OutKast's Andre 3000).

Eucerin's $5 iteration works just as well as my holy grail hand cream, AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream ($19). I'm still going to pick up the AHAVA from time to time, but Eucerin's squat bottle makes it perf for purse packing.

In other news, I have to report that the worst part about moving is packing and unpacking dishes wrapped in newspaper. Have we discussed this? The feel of newspaper to me is the tactile equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. I HATE it. I could barely touch the newspaper article I wrote myself. It's dry and vile AND it leaves a black mess all over your hands. I found myself washing my hands every 3-5 minutes and was glad that my in-rotation hand wash, Essie Purifying Hand Wash ($15) stood up to the task. I lurve its natural, botanical formula that moisturizes with essential oils. Its scent is light, but present enough that I feel de-newsprintified.
