Things I love today: L’Occitane shea butter hand cream

Between rock climbing and the freezing cold weather in San Francisco, my hands have been dried out beyond belief. Rock climbing in the gym is a double whamy: not only do your hands get scraped up but all that chalk also dries out your skin at the same time (I guess that is the point though, isn’t it!).

It would be awful without L’Occitane’s shea butter hand cream as my constant companion. I keep the mini-size tubes in my purse, at my desk and next to the bed. It doesn’t smell funny and has a great consistency that’s not too greasy. Now only if it wasn’t so darn expensive!
