I have a tendency to amass the simplest of beauty products. Plain, everyday brands adorn my cupboards; there’s nary an apothecary jar or chic label to be found. Gwyneth Paltrow would be appalled–appalled, I tell you.
But here’s the thing: they work. Not only that, but they work quite fabulously. And I should know. There was a day when I tried highfalutin brands; one, it seemed the festive thing to do; two, I figured the designer brand and elite price tag had to work wonders. Yet when it came down to it, those things I tossed in my cart with a head of lettuce often worked just as well, if not better.
And so the ‘chipper chicken‘ tradition lives on.
Right now, I’m quite loving . .
{Dove Visible Care Renewing body wash}
Some of you may still boast skin kissed with the dewy perfection of youth. The rest of us are happy for you–really, we are. But a funky thing happens the older you get; it happens quite suddenly and without notice. You go to bed, looking quite like yourself, you wake up the next morning and just like that “Your Body is a Wonderland” has whole new meaning.
One of the first things to go is your skin’s exuberance. It doesn’t retain moisture quite like it use to, giving it a tendency to look a bit dull. Well, fret not, my friends–Dove Visible Care | Renewing to the rescue. I’ve been using it for two weeks now and my skin is so soft . . . so soft. Even in the midst of a dry, hot summer.
My only complaint: the packaging. It’s large and unruly in size and the cap is difficult to open. Also, I have a feeling it will be near impossible to use all of the wash . . . and that’s just rude.

{Curel Foot Therapy}
If you’ve been around for awhile, you know I swear by Curel’s Hand & Cuticle Therapy–so it should come as no surprise that I’m equally delighted with their Foot Therapy. Since it absorbs quickly, you can even apply it right before slipping on your shoes, without fear of injury {ask not how I know this}.
That said, if you’re looking for a little extra moisture for your skin, I highly recommend the products, above. Give them a try–your epidermis and piggies are sure to thank you!
I agree about drug store brands working just as well! I've been a fan of Oil of Olay moisturizer for YEARS! There's no way you can convince me to try anything else 🙂
BTW – Thanks for always stopping by, Amy 🙂 I haven't been around to visit in awhile because they blocked ALL my blogs at work 🙁 Now I have to write and comment on my own time, which is very limited with all the photography business, home DIY Stuff and the new puppy to worry about. But I'm working on figuring out a schedule because I miss my daily visits here 🙂 Hope you're enjoying your summer!
Wretched luck about the work situation . . . but it\’s nice to have you here, whenever you can make it! 🙂
