dry hands be gone!

i love rubbing my cracked man hands with l'occitane hand cream. i was hooked onto this hand cream about 8-9 years ago and have monogamously used it since, with intermittent cheating with aveeno lotion when i'm at home. it's overpriced, about $10 for a small tube, but you don't have to squeeze so much on your palms for it to do its job so i use it religiously when my dry hands need a drink of water.

while i was in las vegas, i browsed a few stores and stocked up on l'occitane. they have a promotion running right now that showcases a few different scents for their hand cream. i tried them all of course, and settled for these three tubes for a combine total of $27 ($3 off if you get three). the rose one smells lovely. it's like creaming your hands with a wedding bouquet of roses. the smell is strong initally, but will dissipate with time, leaving a hint of roses. the smell will not conflict with your perfume. the ylang ylang is a favorite of mine, though the fragrance does not appeal to all noses. it's a hard scent to describe, but to me, it smells like a soft mixture of flowers and tea. i think it's rather lovely. the regular hand cream also has a smell to it, but very subtle. this one is my old favorite and is always hanging about to moisturize my hands.

loving my triplets.
