Lotions and Potions!!


Staying out of the sun, living in Florida, was never an option. The sun beating down on me, has healed my soul, and turned my skin into a leather purse. Therefore I spend countless hours on researching, my rare "lotion and potion" addiction. A small fortune has been spent searching for the magic restorative. Oh yes, I have also seen the good doctors . "Stay out of the sun" doctors, who clearly don't get it!!!
I'm a firm believer in skin protection, SPF 15 and up, but....what about the years, when Baby oil and iodine, was my "call of the wild?"
The bottoms of my feet were tan!!!!
Now to remedy the tanned hide of my youth, the search continues!!!
When the temperature dips, my addiction goes into overdrive. My parched epidermis screams!
This year, I think I may have hit the mother load, of smooth skin.
BAG BALM, for keeping cow udders soft!!!That's right, I have gone to the cows. Cow's udders crack in very cold weather, and no one likes their "cracked udders" pulled. So farmers in Vermont, came up with this miracle salve. It has been in production since 1899, and honey, it is working wonders in 2010.
My skin looks like the youngest "cow udder" you have ever seen. This little jewel of Vermont, is my NEW favorite thing.
Of course there is always a skeptic. One of my angels, that came from my loins!!, said, " Mom, How can you put cow udder cream on you?"
"WATCH ME!" as I let out a very low, satisfied moo.o.o.oooooooo!

  1. You forgot the TIN FOIL!!! Baby oil, iodine and TIN FOIL wrapped around cardboard to hold on either side of our face to intensify the rays of the sun. Along with our curlers the diameter of tires, we were idiots! But beautiful idiots... Also, how can you make fun of me with my 100% African shea butter (you said it looked like lard) but you yourself are obsessed with something used for cow udders???? My feelings are hurt but you can make me feel better with a bottle of Bag Balm (I just finished the lard).
