Snow

Snow is beautiful and looks wonderful on the Christmas cards I packed away a few weeks ago. Where we live there are many victorian and colonial homes, light dustings of snow look so storybook like on them. I also like to see animal tracks in the snow. Snow is the silent decorator of the Earth. Nothing covers your brown winter foilage like a blanket of white snow.

The negative side of winter for me is the dry skin. Believe it or not, I also have allergies that act up in winter rather than in spring, summer or fall. I have allergies that attack my skin. For those reasons I go through lotions and cremes very quickly in the winter. I recommend the lotions from Bath and Body Works. I love the flowery scented ones. One of my favorite scents is Moonlight Path. I also really like Enchanted Orchid. Bath and Body Works has several scent collections to choose from and a line for male skin care too.

I think taking care of my skin is very important. I think moist skin not only keeps us looking and feeling younger, but also is a luxury and very pampering. While you might feel a little confined in winter and maybe not be willing to venture out on certain freezing days, a bit of pampering helps you feel more comfortable while staying indoors. This pamering helps protect your skin when you do decide to go out.
