Dry, Cracked, Man Hands

Embarrassing story alert. Only read if you want to laugh at the stupidity of my teenage self.

So back in the day I was a huge tomboy (meaning Jr. High days). I found guys easier to talk to because girls just seemed to disown me. Maybe it was because I didn't wear enough lipgloss and deodorant. Or perfume…But that's a whole other story for a different post.

I remember being in math class one day, (in the stupid kids math class), and I got assigned to sit next to the hottest kid in class. Well, since my girlie-girl charm was nonexistent, I decided to impress this kid with my manliness. It must have been winter because my hands were extremely dry and cracked. Did I ever think to use lotion? Of course not. So one day in class a lot of people were absent so I thought I would actually have a chance to talk to this kid. I remember going to the bathroom and washing my hands so they would be extra cracked. When I got back he commented on my dry, cracked, bleeding knuckles. He said I had "man hands". The worst part is… That made my day! Haha!

Reminds me of this man hands episode of Seinfeld…

SO - in light of the new cold, frigid, snowy weather, here are some ways to keep those hands soft and girlie.

*Lotion with Vitamin E

To help seal in the moisture! Try Burts Bees (here). Or for a cheaper option, go with St. Ives (here).

*Lotion up right after the shower

Before you get dressed! And before you get goosebumps when you step out of the bathroom :)

Leave me your thoughts and comments! :) I'd love to hear.
