Windy weather means chapped hands. My family and I wash our hands often to stave off viruses, and that contributes to the need for lotion. Our favorite hand soap in October is Bath & Body Works Pumpkin scented liquid soaps. Mmmmmm... makes the whole bathroom smell nice.
Our favorite hand lotion is a shea butter variety by L'Occitane. It leaves our hands moisturized yet not greasy.
Speaking of windy weather, it won't be too long before we get some rainy days. I have been on a three year long quest for a classy trench coat...seriously, 3 years! I always seem to find coats that are too long, too short, don't have details I like, are cement colored (which doesn't work with my skin tone), or just plain too expensive. I mean, why do most trench coats cost over $200? If they are less expensive, they usually fall into one of the above mentioned "NOT" categories. I have looked at TJMaxx, online, at end-of-season sales, you name it, and just had not found the right trench. Until now. I am so excited! I stumbled upon the Express store website last week. They were having a sale and I had an additional 15% off coupon code. Good things come to those that wait...and it doesn't hurt to look for a internet coupon code before you click 'purchase'!
This darling military trench has subtle slit pockets, epalets, adjustable buckled sleeves, is contoured, and has a buttoned back shoulder flap I adore. I also really like that the buttons match, because when they contrast it draws too much attention to the bust area. It is so flattering on...and I got it on sale and with the additional 15% off....Woooohooo! I'm in love...can't wait for it to rain. haha~
