The Cure for Cracked Hands

The dry winter air really does a number on my skin. It ain't cute. I've sung the praises of Kiehl's products before, and with good reason--I haven't been able to find a better hand moisturizer for the winter months than Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. It's thick, absorbs quickly, and isn't the least bit greasy.

Faux Bois

On a crisp winter night, there's nothing quite like the smell of a wood-burning fire drifting through the cobblestone sidestreets of Georgetown. Since I don't have the real thing, I approximate with Diptyque's Feu de Bois candle. I love the gorgeous gray wax and the smoky smell of burning wood. Makes a fabulous holiday host/hostess gift, too.
