My sole resolution

because it's the only one I'm likely to keep (I see them every time I type & sew) -

Taking better care of my hands & nails. My cuticles get dry and then crack & bleed. The nails are strong and will break easily. I found that Rimmel polish with Lycra allows the nails to bend a bit w/o cracking. I love Olay hand lotion & cream and now have put a bottle in just about every room, because my hands got very dry from all that sanitizing during the flu outbreak. Even carrying hotel size lotion in my purse & car these days.

I'm always blown away by stars who have all kinds of youthful additions to their faces and then they put their hands up and they clearly look their age. I'm going to investigate the bleaching cream also. Luckily, I have thick skin so the veins aren't too obvious yet.

Oh man............I hate dry skin. My knuckles are like sandpaper. We use a lot of hand sanitizer which has so much alcohol that it dries our skin right out. Every winter we get such dry skin on our shins. It's from having the heat on I guess. Both of us use Gold Bond anti-itch so we don't scratch ourselves raw. I guess old skin equals dry skin. lol

I like that resolution, Jacquie, and just might make it mine also.

I've discovered that a rosy pink polish does look good at my age also. Tried the dark reds & purples - just looked like I was auditioning for the Munsters!

I love the Olay Quench lotions and use them constantly!


There are hand sanitizers available that do not use alcohol to cleanse your skin.
