Good for you moving from horrible South Florida! I’ve move back to Chicago in a heartbeat if I didn’t have so many attachments down here. Chase that opportunity, Bella!

I absolutely will not live without my Moisturizing Body Butter in Ginger Lime by Habeebah’s Herbals. (Green Tea is also one of my faves.)

It is heaven in a jar. The smell, the texture, the ingredients… all wonderfully just right.

She’s in DC and I no longer live in the area but when I go home, I’m restocking my stash!

Bella,
for the love of God,please don’t forget to cover your EARS. I moved to Indianapolis (2 hr. from chicago) and no one told me that. It’s just not the cold, it’s the WIND that’s gonna get you. All my cute hats were of no use. Also, your lips! I keep a lip balm in all the pockets of my coats (rosebud salve, chapstick, vaseline tube, something!) that I can use on my hands as well. I’ve been to Chicago before for christmas shopping, I will never go again in the winter. NEVER! I’m sure you will find your own formulation Bella and I have no doubt you can pull off the Chi.

Hi Bella! Good luck with your move, I think Chicago is a wonderful place! I live a little north of there (Manitoba, Canada), so Chicago is balmy compared to us! For instance, a few weeks ago it was -49C with the wind chill (that’s -56F)!!! When we had an extended cold snap, my skin was so dry that I was constantly itchy, day and night. In my quest to quench my skin, I tried EVERYTHING twice, and my most recent find is Jergens Naturals line. I have paid through the nose for very expensive creams and potions, and in desperation last week tried the Jergens. My dry itchy skin disappeared! AND it’s paraben-free! I highly recommend, and it’s easy on the purse, too.

You guys should really try Body Shop’s Olive Body Butter – my saviour in cold weather – especially as one not used to it!

Your choice of soap can make or break any efforts at moisturized skin. Kiss My Face Olive Oil BAR (not the liquid stuff, although I haven’t tried it) is the TRUTH. I only get really dry around Jan/Feb using this, and I have REALLY DRY skin (prone to eczema). The bar is saponified olive oil. That’s it, unless you buy the one with lavender or honey. A big bar is expensive in my book ($3 or $4) but it goes a long way when shielded from the shower spray.

I second the castor oil for nearly everything.

Oh yeah, as someone who lives in Chicago and deals with the ashiest skin known to man, Cetaphil moisturizer has been a godsend to me and the fam.
