Have yourself a Merry SIMPLE Christmas

There is white fluffy stuff on the ground! White… fluffy… SNOW! My mom always taught me that S-N-O-W is a 4 letter word that should not be said…. EVER! While I have to admit that it is pretty watching it swirl around my window as I sit here and type this, I can’t help but think of the months ahead where I will feel like I can never be warm again. I think I’m going to just keep the heat set at 74 degrees and never leave my warm cozy house. I can enjoy the snow just fine from under my cozy blanket by the fireside. Who’s with me!?!

Cold weather always wreaks havoc on my body. Apart from feeling like I’m about to snap in half like a stick that has been frozen solid, my hands are starting to get chapped… I’m talking they hurt when I bend them at the knuckles which pretty much deems them useless! Thankfully a wonderful little package arrived on my doorstep with Desert Essence Hand & Body Lotion, and now I can tell you all about it because it doesn’t hurt to type any more. 🙂

This creamy lotion is ultra hydrating, and I have been slathering it on religiously! Made with coconut oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil, it is packed full of natural moisturizers that leave your hands silky soft. What I’ve always loved about Desert Essence is that you do not have to worry about yucky chemicals next to your skin (the larges organ in your body BTW). This lotion is paraben free and does not have any artificial scents or dyes.

Speaking of scents… the Island Mango scent that I am wafting right now is making me dream of warmer places and sandy beaches – just what I needed on this cold, cold day! If you are looking for a mild scent, the Italian Lemon Hand & Body Lotion is a great alternative. The faint citrusy smell is not overpowering and offers just a minor hint of freshness.

Both the Island Mango and the Italian Lemon come in bars of soap as well. “Made using 100% sustainably harvested palm oil in compliance with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) standards, this vegan and gluten-free soap is formulated with palm oil that is sustainably and responsibly grown and harvested, does not damage plant and animal biodiversity, the livelihood of local communities, or soil’s productivity. Its beautiful outer wrapper is made from 100% recycled material.”

Can you just picture it with me? A cute little gift basket filled with Desert Essence Lotions and Soap Bars… Maybe add in a little hand towel and other fabulous Desert Essence products and you’ve got a gift that is sure to please anyone! And since Desert Essence products average at less then $10, your wallet will thank you as well!
