One of my greatest weaknesses include nicely-shaped, well-manicured, soft and very smooth pair of hands. I inherited my Dad’s hands (and fingernails!) and with the amount of house chores, non-stop typing and office work I did and still doing, my hands look like they have been left over drying forever in some very efficient hand dryers—hard, dry, chippy, cracked and poorly-shaped. Boo hoo! I was careless about this pair of hands for as long as I can remember until my Mom came over to visit us and gave me a manicure. She was right, house chores and busy schedule can never be a good excuse to be delinquent in caring for myself, my hands included. So off we trooped to Walmart and she bought my first kitchen gloves 
.
Apart from wearing gloves, I have become very particular with the products I use for my hands. Remember? I used these Burt’s Bees Hand Salve and Hand Sanitizer last Winter? Apparently, these weren’t enough to combat my hands from dryness and eventually production of dead skin and cuticles.
…And so this is my recent discovery. I tell you, the paraffin wax does the works. My hands have never been this soft and smooth (yes, they are still poorly-shaped 
and without nail polish) when I started using Bath and Body Look Ma New Hands! Softening Hand lotion with Paraffin. The paraffin seals in the moisture without making my hands feel greasy. You owe your hands this 12 bucks product.
Happy Halloween!
I am finishing up my remaining blogging tasks before we head off for our TrickorTreat marathon today. At first, Dear Husband does not want to go to any crowded places this Halloween because of the ah1n1 scare. But, of course we do not want to let DS feel disappointed especially when he had already been wearing his 2 costumes for weeks now. I told DH that we will just load ourselves with Vitamin C and keep handy my most favorite hand sanitizer these days. Burt’s Bess Aloe and Witch Hazel Hand Sanitizer. Grab them at your nearest drugstore or grocery for only 5 bucks. I better end this entry because I need to finalize our holiday photo cards orders. BOO!
