We spent the last week unpacking boxes of new summer styles that just arrived. Exciting, right? We can hardly wait to show you what we’re revealing (check back next Tuesday), but we are disappointed to tell you that we ended up with dry hands as a result.
Dirty boxes = lots of hand-washing = dry skin. Bummer!
In need of endless applications of lotion, we deferred to our graphic designer, Hilary, for her advice.
To the rescue: Cucumber Melon hand soap and lotion from Bath & Body Works; it’s Hilary’s favorite. Evoking the smell of summer, she keeps them both in the kitchen as ‘a little luxury’ when she is doing the dishes or cooking. (She doesn’t unpack boxes like we do.) Besides smelling great, the lotion keeps her hands consistently smooth and moist.
What are we doing this weekend? Stocking up on this seemingly must-have duo.
