And if you think no one will notice, you couldn’t be more wrong. My husband’s Christmas party is coming up in a couple of weeks and the first thing I looked at was the length of my nails and the appearance of my hands.
I can get my hair done, have a facial and invest in a new dress, but what can you do about hands that look old and tired?? Well, you can start pampering them. Have you ever noticed that women on TV shows are often shown applying hand cream before climbing into bed. There’s lots you can do, but applying a good hand cream is a good place to start!!
And just in case you want to go really decadent… the dispensor up on your left heats your favorite hand cream. Now how cool is that??

Because it is cold here (for California) your post inspired me to warm up my hand cream in the microwave – thus proving the value of buying your recommended product because it looked nuked even after three seconds. But the kitchen smelled loved – if you like a kitchen that smells like a bathroom or bedroom. So I tried again, then took the warmed-up cream and rubbed it on the hands of my visiting god-daughter. She loved the attenton so much that her kid brother also ask for the same “Kare care” treatment.
Oh my, were their parents surprised when they woke up, came downstaitrs to the semll of bacon and eggs and citrus handcream.
“Butterfly” theory in practice: see how you wave your tiny wings of a faraway post and affect us here?

Water is a great catch al for everything in my opinion. It helps you sleep, move, keeps your hair and skin clean, flushes out your waste and tops your tank off, keeping you from getting hungry. It can sure help your hands!
In your place I would definitely do a hand peeling (any body scrub will do, or you can even mix up some salt with a tbs or two of olive oil), and than feed my hands with a good moisturizer. I do not have any problems with hands as I always wear a tube of hand cream with me and apply it as often as I need. But, did you think of all the other things you must do before that party? If not, check out my party posts.
