I use hand lotion fairly often. Every time I wash my hands I put on a little lotion after and in the winter I use lotion all over a lot more. My shins and forearms get dry in the winter if I do not keep them moisturized. Various samples and scents and brands make their [...]

When I learned about makeup it was many years ago. My friends and I would share cool stuff with each other and we poured over magazines like YM for hints and tips. To be honest, I was not very good at makeup then and I am not much better now. I have learned a little [...]
