I used to use A&D ointment a lot - sunburns, (yes, I grew up in the baby oil era), babies' butts, and now this creme has me slathering it on everything. And I love how it smells too.

I would never be able to tolerate such winters as you have there! My neighborhood here in Dallas is very old and the power goes out all of the time, sometimes for days. After many years of dealing with this, we installed a full on generator. It is the greatest thing I have ever received. No more power outages in the 100 degree heat or during the severe storms that we have. It has helped me to be less stressed (aka insane) when the weather is bad because I am a nurse and have to be at work! I swear, it has changed my life and is better than diamond jewelry! Tell the Mister to get you a BIG GENERATOR!!! xoxo from Dallas.

I kept yelling at them I could just look out the window and see what was going on. Sheesh. They seemed so excited. They do this when we have heavy rain and hurricanes too. Do they seriously think we don't know that we're going to flood? Charleston is built on oyster beds for goodness sake. Weather people.

Yes!! a million times! I loathe wintertime as well, and while I would love to live in Boston, I am truly afraid for my mental sanity if I had to spend a winter there. Now, Texas is another story. I would love to find a nice place in the hill country. <br /><br />I have added the moisturizer to my basket on Amazon because of your endorsement, and I am looking forward to getting it. <br /><br />I kinda like the round-the-clock weather reporting. I don't know, but it seems to help with the panic attacks I get when the weather gets bad. But, I am a news junkie who keeps the news on in the background most of the time. Or, maybe the anxiety has taken over, and I need to be checked in somewhere. As long as it is in the hill country of Texas next door to a winery, I am good. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and try to stay warm.
