Dove Shower Cream

dove shower cream, bitsandtreats

I have terribly dry skin and it’s getting worse. My doctor said I’m dehydrated so aside from the 3 pitchers of water I drink everyday (roughly equivalent to 3 liters), I need to go on a Gatorade diet. Aside from that, I need to use special products for my skin such as this one.

If you remember, my doctor told me to use Dove unscented beauty bars but I couldn’t find them here so I asked my SIL in Singapore if they have it there. She scoured the groceries and found this. It’s not unscented though but I totally love the smell! This is better than the bar. Or maybe I’m just biased because I really don’t like soap bars…

Anyway, this is cream-based so a little goes a long way. I usually use 2 pumps on my bath lily and lather away. The scent does not linger on my skin but the moisturizing effects linger a bit longer. I also mentioned in a previous post that I’m skipping lotion on really hot days and this shower cream is a savior. My skin still looks terrible without lotion but at least it does not itch,thanks in part to this shower cream.

This is a huge bottle and it will probably last me a couple of months or more. I plan to hoard these when I go there. I stopped hoarding body washes, well because, I can’t really go out shopping. Plus there’s the fact that I can no longer use just any kind of body wash. Pfffttt….

*Special thanks to my SIL!*

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
