Oh, my aching hands

It’s that time of the year.  When the weather is drier, the woodstove is cranking out some major BTU’s (well, normally) and it seems that I’m constantly doing dishes or other chores that require my hands to be washed, scrubbed and dried countless times a day.

Just yesterday (after washing up milking stuff) I looked at my poor hands.  They were getting pretty cracked and my knuckles were starting to bleed a little.  I guess it’s past time that I start slathering on some good lotion before I really start hurting.

And lo and behold, what does Paul bring in with the mail, no more than like ten seconds after I make this earth-shattering realization?

Lemon Balm and Lavender Goat Milk Soaps and
Shea/Beeswax Salve!

Two bars of heavenly-scented homemade soaps and a jar of Shea & Beeswax balm from Sarah Jean at BeeWench Farm!

I was the lucky winner of her giveaway last week!  And don’t tell me I didn’t share the opportunity to enter to win, ‘cause I did, so phfffftttttt!!  Now don’t you wish YOU entered?

I’ve used the balm like five times already since last night (after a luxurious soaping-up in the shower with the Lavender soap) and my knuckles are already on their way to healing up.

Ahhhhhhhh……

Thanks again, Sarah Jean!
