Cold Weather Equals Dry Hands? I Don’t Think So.

October 5, 2015 by Laura 6 Comments

Last week I sat in the sunshine in a tank top. This week I got out all my winter clothes and put on four mis-matched layers to go freeze through two soccer games. This is fall in Nebraska. 

Proof of the scary mis-matched outfit, paired with soccer game hair, and a 10-year old photo bomber:

I’m willing to come over and help you choose attire at any time. For free.

I’m sure many of you are experiencing similar weather changes where you are too. What I’m not loving is this: my hands were perfectly fine one day; then when it turned cold, my hands turned dry and threatened to start cracking. This happened overnight.

Whereas I used to brace myself for the long haul and have miserable hands all winter long, this time I just looked at the little white flakes on my fingers and said, “Oh I don’t think so.” (I said it with sass, so make sure you go back and re-read that sentence with proper attitude and inflection.)

One healthy rub-down of BeeSilk Hard Lotion and my hands were perfect and pain-free again. Take that, cold weather! 

Since BeeSilk is the be all and end all for me and I will use it from now until the rest of my life because I love it so much – I asked Renee at MadeOn if she’d want to throw us a discount so we could stock up and be ready for winter. Within just minutes she blessed us with 15% off any BeeSilk product order (not including the DIY kit). Love her.

The discount only lasts for two days – Monday and Tuesday. That’s today and tomorrow. October 5 and 6. Of this year, 2015.

BeeSilk MadeOn Hard Lotion

I love BeeSilk because it is so pure and safe for the skin. Ingredients include coconut oil, shea butter, and unbleached beeswax – that’s it! It’s different from regular lotion because it’s a hard lotion – in bar form. You hold it in your hands for a few seconds to warm it, then rub it around to soften and moisturize your hands. Man, I love this stuff.

MadeOn offers free shipping when your order is $45 or more. Here’s what I’ve found to be the best bang for my buck while preparing for winter. (My entire family uses these products.)

1 BeeSilk Family Bar $12.95
1 BeeSilk Family Bar Refill Pack $16.00
5-Pack BeeSilk Pocket-Sized Lotion Bars $27.80

You can check out the BeeSilk products here. Use the code hh15off for the 15% discount.

Here’s one more fun treat Renee is offering, and I think it is so cool!

How fun that you and a friend could both win! Get the details here.

Winter and dry skin will not go hand in hand. (Oh my goodness – is that not the best pun? Be in awe of my wit.) We will move through the cold months with soft, comfortable skin. Thank you, MadeOn!

    I would love to see what you carry in your purse(aside from the handcuffs you had once!), you should do a post on that . With the lotion bars, oils and chemical free items. I find it hard to keep from having lots of pouches in my bag.

    Love this recipe…super simple and healthy. I often do this with other fruits that we pick and freeze….strawberries, peaches, blueberries, sometimes I even shred an apple in with raspberries. It makes for a much healthier topping than syrup (not that the pure stuff is totally unhealthy, but it is still sugar!). Thanks!

      Oops…this should have been on the raspberry syrup post… sorry! (That’s the Mommy-hasn’t-slept-because-kids-are-sick brain! :))

    Have used these products for several years now, thanks to learning about them from you. My favorite is the peppermint lip balm!

      It’s working but make sure you have a Beesilk type product added to the cart first. Contact me ([email protected]) if it still doesn’t work for you and I’ll manually apply it.

      Thanks Ambra!
