Ask Ellbee ~ Dry Skin

June 15, 2012 by 1 Comment
Ellbee likes Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and Lubriderm Daily Moisture.

Dear Ellbee, I’m having problems with my skin.  I’m dry and flaky and itchy all over.  The dryness is occasionally an issue in the winter, but usually clears up by spring.  Not this time.  Plus I’m sort of red and splotchy. I’ve been using Nivea Lotion before bed, but it’s not really doing much.  Any suggestions? Thank you! Lori Hi, Lori. I recommend a trip to the dermatologist for you. Though weather changes can trigger skin problems of all kinds, {Read More}

Gold Tone Crystal Ring (Originally $18, on sale for $5) and Monet's Austrian Crystal Bracelet (Originally $45, on sale for $13)

I refuse to give backstory on the grounds that it may incriminate me. Suffice it to say that I am no closer to completing my Jewelry 12 Step Program than when I published the post Addicted to Bling. I remain, and ever will be, powerless over my addiction to jewelry. However, thanks to Jeanne Stewart and her recent post “Jeanne Organizes Your Bits, Baubles & Accoutrements,” my accessories HAVE become manageable. Does that mean I’ve worked a half step?  At {Read More}
