My poor Panasonic Lumix is still experiencing some technical difficulties, despite a short visit to the camera store today. I realize that the blog has been seriously lacking in photos that I've taken myself, so I am resorting to snapping away on the cameraphone until I send my Panasonic to the mainland to see if it can be fixed or until I see if it's still workable and convenient without being able to easily turn it off.
Until then, let's focus on fun stuff rather than camera woes.
I went to body boutique Lush last month to find a creamy way to solve my Sahara-dry hands. I've always had dry skin, but when I moved to Maui in 2010 it seemed like my skin became a sponge. I soaked up sun and warm, balmy air and my skin was so happy...until it wasn't.
I guess my body acclimated to the awesome climate, and now I'm back to dealing with dry flaky skin. Gross. This needed to be solved. And now.
I went in with my bucket of tears sob story, and the super friendly and knowledgeable sales associate pointed me to a few products and the Handy Gurugu won me over almost instantaneously.
Not shown to actual size...of course :)
The Handy Gurugu is a heavy duty, super rich and thick hand cream made from organic Shea, cashew, almond and pumpkin butters with soothing essential oils to save cracked, dry and sore paws like my own. It smells a little medicinal, unlike some of Lush's other fruity and floral products, but once I smoothed on a small pea sized amount, I was hooked. This stuff is awesome.
Don't waste it all on your hands either! I dab and rub this on other dry spots like my elbows and feet. I have barely put a dent into my 3.5 oz container, so I have many, many months of Gurugu goodness to look forward to.
