This is my absolute new favourite cream!

Like most moms, I think I wash my hands about a million times a day. Every winter I end with terrible dry and itchy hands. Not sure that my skin is really that sensitive, but with all of the washing and scrubbing my hands hurt and sting with most hand creams.

Kiehl Pharmacy
has been an institution in New York City since 1851, where they have "been dedicated to serving customers formulas for skin and hair made with uniquely efficacious, natural ingredients."

A friend is a Kiehl's ambassador; this means that she shops there enough to get invited to special parties like new product launches. Last week she took me along. We got a free mascara, just for attending, plus I got a hand massage and treatment. I found my hands getting irritated even with their gentle, organic cream. Then I saw and tried the one for babies.

Nurturing Cream for Face and Body is a pediatrician tested cream for babies, and I thought that if it were gentle enough for a baby's face, it could work on my hands.

I AM AMAZED!!! It is wonderful. If I could figure out a way of taking a picture of my own hands, and of not offending anyone with my lack of manicure, then I would show you. My hands are soft, smooth and silky.

GIVE-AWAY TIME!

My favourite new product is a Norwex toothbrush I got about 2 weeks ago. It is amazing and you feel like you have just had a cleaning at the dentist. I am a big fan of all the Norwex products I have tried...it's become a bit cult like in my neighbourhood!

I recieved a gift basket from Kiehls about 3 years ago and loved all the products. The "Lip Balm #1" is amazing and my Mom who has the driest chapped hands I have ever seen swears by the "Ultimate Strenght Hand Salve". She uses it in place of a prescription cream she used to use for many years.

Did you purchase your Norwex online? Or are any of their products available through bricks and mortar retail channels? Just read a few things online. Now I am afraid to brush my teeth!

I love Kiehl products too!!! Maddy's baby acne is still pretty bad...I haven't tried Kiehl on her yet (but just about everything else).

I haven't tried the product on the kids, and don't know what would work for baby acne. She should be getting past that stage soon. You could try hydrocortisone - I am sure you have heard the joke about dermatologists - 1000s of skin conditions, 1 cream! Our paediatrician recommended it for Son Two when he was 3 months old - but said we had to use it three times a day for a week and then stop. Is it so bad that you need to see the Dr?

My favorite product is the the Mary Kay medium coverage foundation. I started using this a few months ago and have gotten so many compliments on my skin it is unbelievable. I have uneven skin tone and the medium coverage takes care of all the imperfections with a very small amount (less than a dime size for your entire face). A definite must for me!!

I use the BareMinerals powder foundation, but it is a little drying in the winter (my skin is combination). Thanks for the tip! I will check it out. I think my mother-in-law has a Mary Kay connection.

My favorite new product is my Apple iTouch. I use it as my daily calendar, contact list, I check the weather for the next week on it, facebook, calculator, internet and download my email to it. I have also downloaded a number of FREE games that I play when waiting for an appointment, riding the bus or subway, etc. Its great, I love it!

My favourite new product is my LUG handbag. I bought it on a whim at the FCUK warehouse sale. It has a lot of cool pockets. I use it as a purse, but it is big enough to put diapers in for both my kids and it has a waterproof pocket just in case I need to store soiled clothes from the kids. It has a velcro mirror, little pockets for my cell phone/keys/tokens...It is a fantastic purse and a great blue colour.
