Shop Your Closet: Winter Blast | February 16, 2012

Shop Your Closet: Winter Blast

Oklahoma was finally hit with some arctic air this week and what a shock to my system!  I had barely worn more than a light jacket this winter.  I dug deep into my closet and pulled out my Juicy Couture snow boots, wool coat, Burberry scarf and my super cute bow hat.  I was actually looking forward to the time I could wear the Michael Kors fingerless mittens my son gave me for Christmas this year.

Unless you live where the climate is constantly balmy, you should own these essential items.  Boots that are fashionable as well as utilitarian, a warm … Read More »

Soft Winter Hands | December 30, 2010

Soft Winter Hands

I dread the dead of winter and from handrails to high-fives, it seems that every thing we touch requires a good hand washing afterward to stay healthy and germ-free. While regular soap and water sessions are necessary to combat germs, frequent hand washing can cause dryness and irritation, making our hands clean but uncomfortable and, in severe cases, susceptible to infection.

Eliminate dryness and irritation by soothing hands post-wash with the new natural and affordable (seed) Healthy Hand Cream, which features a blend of seed-based ingredients, rich in … Read More »

Hydrate Winter Skin | December 20, 2010

Hydrate Winter Skin

Winter officially begins December 21st however if your skin is like mine, it is already a bit dry.  Dry, itchy winter skin is very pleasant.  Scratching leads to greater irritation, continued cracking and possible infections.  During the winter, skin requires extra protected to keep it soft, supple and moisturized.

Here are some tips I use to help me combat dry, itchy winter skin:

Take Warm Showers! Hot water feels wonderful but it make skin feel dry and can further irritate already dry skin.

Exfoliate! Slough off dead, dry skin that creates a barrier preventing moisturizers from penetrating.  I prefer to use a homemade … Read More »
