Flawless Hands




I'm here to help make your hands so soft your significant other will not want to let go of them. Or if you're single, here to make your high fives the nicest and best in town!
To keep hands at their absolute smoothest, I first recommend using either a sugar or salt scrub. I recommend Tree Hut Almond & Honey Scrub. It leaves hands ever so soft and cuticles looking healthy. You will not believe how incredible they feel after just one minute. 
Scrub as if you were using it to thoroughly wash your hands then rinse off and towel dry. 
Use once a week.

Available here & Walmart


I'm a hand cream addict. I use all sorts and have quite a few I rotate everyday. So brace yourself. Up first is the one that works the best on me: Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. It is absolutely amazing. Amazing. I fell in love the first time I used it over 10 years ago. It mostly sinks-in and leaves a protective layer on top which is soft to the touch, like a silky glove. 
 Available at drugstores or here


 Avon Moisture Therapy is my seconds favorite. Formula is very similar to the Neutrogena one. Just as emollient and protective. Non-greasy. 

Available here


 J.R. Watkins Aloe & Green Tea Hand Cream is another great one. It's very moisturizing but lightweight and has a nice green tea fragrance. Sinks right into the skin. 

Available here

Jurlique Rose Hand Cream is so very amazing, not only because it's very moisturizing and great for very dry skin, but it also smells like roses! I DIE. I keep this one in my purse at all times. 

Available here

Sleeping Gloves are a great way to not only lock-in the moisture, but if you're a side-sleeper like me, it keeps the lotion off your face. It also just looks classy.:)

Available at drugstores


Sunscreen on the back of your hands is a must, E\especially when you're driving. I use Alba Botanica Green Tea SPF 45
Available here or at health food stores, Target and CVS.


If you use hand sanitizer, it's best to use one that's also moisturizing. Such as Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer or Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint.

Jurlique available here

 Twisted Peppermint here

I hope this post was informative and useful.:)

NOTD: Sinful Colors - Cinderella





They say that the happiest day in a woman's life is the day she gets married.
No, it's not. It's the day when she finds the polish she's been searching for forever. I had been looking for this for months, ever since one of you suggested this shade to me. I searched high-and-low but it was always sold-out everywhere. Finally, I found it at Walgreens. I now know why it was always sold-out. I held this bad girl up in the air and screamed 'YES! FINALLY!' I get overly excited sometimes and I just can't contain myself.
Cinderella is the perfect light-blue with the most gorgeous pink, leaning towards violet almost, micro-glitter. It's much, much, much prettier in person. For the life of me I couldn't capture its' true beauty no matter what setting I used on my camera. Just know what it's wow in real life. When I saw it after I brought it back down after I raised it, I realized how it's way prettier than I had anticipated. 
One coat is sheer so it can be layered over other polishes. Here I used 3 coats. 





Great color on toes as well.;) Thanks for stopping by!
