Lips
This stuff is seriously the best! I have super dry lips all year long, but especially in winter. Not only that my lips are SUPER sensitive so most lip balms burn and do more harm than good. This stuff is so nourishing, gentle on my lips, and the flav...
GOAT MILK LIP BALM
This doesn’t burn my lips like most lip balms do! It’s very nourishing and love the hint of color without it being thick and waxy like lipstick. It gives a natural tint and a ton of moisture. Great in the winter when you need moisture but also want c...
Clarins Lip Comfort Hydrating & Plumping Oil - Ulta Beauty
I love the tinted lip balms. The colors are beautiful and flattering and I love that they nourish my lips. Regular lipstick often clumps up or dry out my lips. My lips are also very sensitive so a lot of lip balms end up burning my lips and eventuall...
Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
Body
My favorite body cream! Lasts all day and night! Not fragrant so can layer on with your perfume of choice without competing scents!
Creme de Corps Collection - Body - Kiehl's Since 1851
This is one of my favorite luxuries. It foams up a little when you apply it in the shower, smells so good, and leaves my skin feeling silky without feeling greasy! I also sometimes struggle with putting on lotion after a shower (it’s an ADHD thing) a...
Amande (Almond) Shower Oil | L'Occitane en Provence
I spray this on after my body lotion and it seals in the moisture and my skin feels silky and hydrated for 24 hours. It has a light pleasant vanilla scent but not overbearing- it’s actually pretty faint which I like because I can still use perfume wi...
Aveeno - Daily Moisturizing Body Oil Mist
This product is a jack of all trades. I use it on dry spots, lips, even on my face overnight when I need more moisture. I’ve used it on scars, cuts, like pretty much anything! The smell is a little medicinal but this stuff is like magic.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
Feet
Ok this is a year round favorite for me. It’s slightly minty and tingles your feet so it’s great when your feet are tired or when you just want that extra treat. It’s also very nourishing and softens my feet.
Foot Relief™ Moisturizing Creme
I use this year round, but winter especially to soften my feet. My skin get so dry in between my toes and right on the side of my ankles. I also get callouses pretty bad. I put this on at night and they feel great! I also use it as lip balm when it’s...
Eucerin Advanced Repair Body Cream 16 OZ
Hands
By far the best hand cream! A little goes a long way! Not greasy and lasts!
Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
This stays in my purse year round. It is so nourishing and not greasy. It’s rich and the moisture lasts. It’s especially great in the winter when hands can get so dry! I love that it’s a smaller tube and travel friendly so I can keep it in my purse. ...
Hand Creams - L'Occitane
Gear
Love Merrel shoes in the winter! I wear these moccasins when running errands in the slushy snow (not when boots are needed just when it’s a little wet and slushy). These are warm and have great traction!
Women - Coldpack 3 Thermo Moc Waterproof - Shoes
I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks since the 90’s even when they went out of style, I kept wearing them. I’m not a fashionista, I just love practical, good quality, comfortable shoes. I live in Birkenstocks year round. The shearling in these feel so nice...
Birkenstock Boston Genuine Shearling Lined Clog (Women)
I got this jacket as a gift and at first was a little confused because it’s not the stylish, but holy cow is it practical! This is great for those cold winter mornings when you have to shovel snow and just don’t want to go out there or when you have ...
Milwaukee Heated Jacket
Yeah it’s a men’s hoodie, but it doesn’t mean women can’t wear it! I’m tall, 5’10” so I find women’s hoodies tend to be shorter than I like. I wear this hoodie as a jacket when it starts getting chilly or as a layer when it’s super freezing! I’m a co...
Member's Mark Men's Sherpa Lined Full Zip Hoodie
These are just a winter classic. I’ve had my pair for 10 years and they’re still in great shape! Keep my feet and calves warm and dry in these crazy Chicago winters!
