we tried Burt's Bees Milk and Honey lotion this winter and it is yummy. But, still my fav is Lubridrem unscented.
I hate all bras! I have never found one that feels anything close to comfortable, this includes the one I just purchased for $50!
Wardrobe...um my work requires me to wear tan pants and blue polo's. I don't guess that will do for student teaching. I would probably buy classic skirts and pants in black, brown, and blue and trendy tops since those are the easiest/cheapest to replace. I've always loved Old Navy's selection of office wear.
Lotion, I love Burt's Bees Milk and Honey too, but nothing beats using baby oil every day just before I get out of the shower. I started using it after I noticed how soft my sister-in-laws skin was. I asked what her secret was and that's what she told me. I've been using it for about a year, and my skin has never felt so soft.
I can't wear old navy. too short in the torso. I need something pretty versatile because I'll be teacher of composition in the morning and student at night. Oh, I'm allergic to Burt's Bees stuff -- at least all that I've tried. How's that for absolutely impossible?
A, is lubriderm pretty thick? it's really, really dry here. zip on the humidity.
The lubriderm is pretty heavy, I use it in the winter and Jergens in the summer. Bethany swears by Aveeno and she has really dry skin.
and.. I normally wear Playtex bras but I have to buy the heavy duty kind.
I've heard good things about Lubriderm and Aveeno.
If you want to be smart and you have the moolah to invest, buy some good lightweight wool, fully-lined slacks (and skirts, if that's your thing). Marshall's, Banana Republic and Anne Taylor Loft might be places to start. Honestly, I buy a lot of cheap clothes usually because life has been so weird--my sizes and jobs have changed so much in the last few years, I go with the Target/Ross specials (a few decent pants, flippy skirts and very inexpensive tops). You can do a lot with accessories, too, if that's your thing (that's a fun way to buy local, too).
i did sandra's baby oil trick today. i think that plus some lotion would help. it's dry. dry.
i like the accessories idea, Kristen. I have lots of jewelry from my gram and mom, but I always forget to put it on.
i don't think wool will work here -- i think i might die of the heat - but i might lose weight from the sweating.
I've done the baby oil thing for years but still have to use lotion.
Is it even drier there than in Montana??
It's not wool in your traditional sense. It's lightweight wool crepe. It holds its shape beautifully, but is perfect for every season because it's super breathable--warm when you need it to be, cool and lightweight in the summer.
(Here's a def: Wool Crepe-
A refined yet durable fabric with a subtle, pebbled texture and exceptional drape, wool crepe is perfect for tailored garments and offers year-round versatility. Threads are crimped in S or Z patterns to create a fabric that resists wrinkling, accommodates the fullness of pleats and shirring. Wool Crepe—Lightweight--
Wool crepe in a smoother, lighter weave. Now it's not just for special occasions, it's for everyday, every season of the year.)
I am enjoying etsy for some local stuff as well as the nearby farmer's markets and fairs.
