I just put it on in the morning before I leave for work, then again at night before I go to bed, and my hands have been much softer this winter. It feels a little greasy at first but it soaks in quickly, and smells good too!
Hubby loves this stuff! I get it for him for Christmmas, Birthday, Fathers'Day etc...
I also got some for my son because he was going thru my Crabtree & Evelyn's Gardener's Hand Thereapy like there was not tomorrow!! I cant believe how much the prices have increased at the Body Shop!

The only reason I bought it was because we did a Body Shop fundraiser for the trip I'm taking w/ my students. I bought lots of things I wouldn't normally buy just to spend some $ and get credit towards my son's trip. He ended up earning $100 for his own spending money! I love all the products that I bought, tho. The pressed powder is really nice, as well as the body butter, and the Hemp cream, of course.

Been lurking for awhile now. Today I bought the Olay Regenerist Serum, as 40 will be here in just few weeks. Thinking I better beat the wrinkles before they start getting any worse! I was also going to suggest Crabtree and Evelyn's Gardner's Hand Treatment, both the exfoliator and the cream. They work quite well and smell so nice and clean! Thanks for all the great tips ladies!

$100? Good for your little guy, that is awesome! I love Body Shop stuff. Their Musk Oil is a classic and I love their coconut soap and the coconut dry oil mist for dry skin. It leaves a nice little glow on your skin and smell delish!

If you find that the VO5 is too heavy, give Natural Instincts "Shine Happy" a try. It is in the hair color section and I believe made by Clairol. My hair is both fine and thin and this is one of the few products I can use without weighing my hair down or looking oily.

Done!! And aren't you a sweetie for saying that!! I've been doing pedicures for years, but only recently started doing my hands again. I was so flattered when Flash incorporated that avatar into the award banner he designed for "Best Avatar" for 2005 (Babaloo won with his smoking baby).

And you should be flattered, that's a damn good avatar! Cute toes... and the beads adds a certain 'je ne sais quoi'. Glad you brought it back.

I drove down to Seattle today and bought Hope in a Jar! I have hope Looked for the Chi hair dryer but didn't buy it as for $140........ I figure it should give you a fire works show as well as dry your hair for that price I did buy the Chi hair oil though. Thanks for all the tips ladies. Love this thread, going out to buy the Olay products next.

They do sell Mac at Nordstroms now, still cheaper for us Canadians. Does anyone use a great self tanner, currently using Clinique and it's good but the smell
