Eight Hour Cream (Elizabeth Arden)


I don't think that there is a girl in the Clark family that doesn't use this. It is the best remedy for dry lips, knuckles, eye lids, etc. My mom always had it in her purse growing up and we would use it at any chance we could. It lasts forever and is worth every penny. My Andrew lovingly calls it "Butt Cream", but I still love him anyway.

Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub (by Bath and Body Works)


This is my favorite body scrub. Since it is sugar instead of salt it can be used even right after shaving without stinging. It smells really great (I currently have eucalyptus). The hardest part is getting the oils mixed with the sugar. It is about $16.00 for a jar, so not too overly indulgent. Give it a try and see what you think.

Dermalogica- multivitamin hand and nail treatment


Since it is January and cold and dry, let me introduce you to a lotion that rocks. This hand lotion is light, but does wonders. My mom gets cracks around her nails and this is one of the few things that will cure those. I keep one in my purse and one on my nightstand to keep my hands from cracking off. It is pricey, but if your hands are always dry it may be just what you need.

Oil of Olay Active Hydrating Lotions

This is my everyday lotion. I adore it. It is the perfect balance for my skin. Face lotion is very individual but if you are in the market, try this out. A single bottle is under $10.00 and Costco carries a double pack for about $15.00.

Joico K-PAK Leave-In Protectant

I think that a more appropriate name for this product would be "Foaming Gold". I think that this has made a significant difference in the strength and health of my hair. I use it every time I wash my hair, mostly on the ends. I have noticed that it does not weighs my hair down so I am not conservative, but I have heard from others that it is a little too heavy for their hair. It runs about $12.00 for an 8.5 ounce bottle.

I have tried several eye creams and none of them even compare to Clinique's All About Eyes Rich. It is not scented, has a creamy texture and rubs in easily without leaving your eye greasy. My eyes are not only more moisturized, but they seem brighter. It is a bit pricey at $28.50 for .5 ounces, but a little goes a long way so it will last long enough to make it worth it. Clinique also has a lighter version, but I did not like it nearly as much. I want to try their Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream and Advanced Stop Signs Eye SPF 15.
