I don't know if I have shared with you the fact that my mom has the driest hands in the world... I do not know why they are so dry, but it is horrible. Sorry mom, I know you know its true.... but I just had to share it with everyone. I have always said that I do not want to have super dry hands like her... So, I try my best to keep them moisturized.  I just wish I would make a routine and stick with it... But, It never works that way.  I try and use lotions as much as possible, but I also wash my hands a million times and I do not always think of grabbing lotion right afterwards... I have mentioned before about Marc having super dry hands and I think he is the only guy I know that will ask for lotion.  (He also carries it in his bag when he travels.)  We both enjoy using the Carmex lotion.  I was surprised as to how great it worked.  We have been fans of the Carmex lip treatment for quite a while (before I even knew Marc, I used Carmex.) With the...

While we might be preparing for "back to school," lets remember that summer is not over yet! There are still days left to get out and enjoy the sun before winter hits us! From beach trips, pool parties and just enjoying being outside, Carmex literally has you covered!    I was like a kid at Christmas the other day when a random package came for me...  Image Credit: Carmex I opened it and immediately was in love!  You see, I received an awesome Carmex beach tote that included their six Carmex sticks!   These are not just random sticks, but flavorful ones that also contain SPF 15.   Now, I don't know about all of you, but I tend to fry easy... and I never think about applying something to my lips when I am outside!  Okay, I do apply lip balm at random times, but I never think about needing SPF coverage, that was what I meant!   So, back to this Carmex surprise....  As I said, there were six flavors... Want to know what th...

***** UPDATE: Giveaway is CLOSED---- Winner is: Karen Raider! Congrats!!! ***** Carmex is a tried and true brand in our house... I always have several tubes/jars of their lip products and I am so impressed with their skin care line. There is no hiding that Marc has dry skin... Mostly his hands and his feet... To the point that every time he walks by lotion, he has to apply more to his hands... That being said, we keep lotion all over the house. We were sent the Carmex lotion and cream and Marc was very impressed by it. He was so happy that it did not have a greasy feel, like most do. I liked it that it wasn't too thick, nor too slimy/runny. The combination to create it is dead on!!!! My favorite is the Healing Cream... But, one lucky reader is going to get to pick a favorite out as well!!!! One winner will win a Carmex Prize Pack with both the lotion and the cream!!!! Mandatory Entry: Just tell me how the weather is where you are at. (Please leave email address if not visibl...

Day 11 of the Hurry Up the Holidays List!!!! I love Carmex . Always have. Back when it was just in the little jars, I always had a few. In my purse, in my pocket, in my book bag and in my freezer. To this day, I am still not sure why I had it in the freezer. Maybe I left one in the car and it melted? I do not know! All I do know is that I was just sent a gift bag FULL of Carmex products and I am in heaven! I had no idea how great the other things were! I guess I really could branch out and try other products, especially if it is from a name I already love. I love the lip balm... But HELLO, the lotion is AWESOME!!!! In my defense, the lotion is new... but still! It smells great! It feels awesome! The bag I received if stocked full of all of their products! It includes the little jars (Side note, they have minimized the amount of plastic used in the trademark jars... so = better for the environment!) Also, it has the Carmex tubes of lip balm... I love it, never tried the strawberry ...
