Would it be weird to discuss dry skin on a food blog? I’m sure we all experience it to some degree, so…

Love Fall. Hate Winter. But that means I should partially detest Fall with ugly W word being so close behind, right? My skin sure does. It’s like my skin knows the dry season is upon us. The moment a leaf changes color or falls from a tree, instant dry skin. Annoying. And, I know I’m not alone.

After what feels like forever, I’ve finally found a solution. It only took trying all kinds of brands and varieties of lotions, creams, oils and in a wide range of prices. Specialty items to regular drugstore shelf items. Nothing worked. Sure, quick fixes that would only cover up the problem temporarily…reapply throughout the day kind of scenerio.

Granted, this isn’t a whole body fix. So if you have all over dry skin, then you’ll still want to use a thick moisturizing lotion. Are you ready for soft hydrated hands and feet this winter? You have to try O’Keefe’s healthy feet and working hands. It’s life (or skin) changing. It’s not an instant fix but it’s so far working worlds better than anything I’ve ever tried… and that’s saying a lot. It’s non-greasy and holds in the moisture your skin so desperately needs this time of year!

And while you’re enjoying soft hands and feet again… you should most definitely be making your belly and tastebuds happy too… with these cookies!

I’ve loved gingersnap cookies (of all shapes, sizes and varieties) for-ever! My favorite store bought brand is a no-no now since it’s not considered peanut allergy friendly. And while this isn’t a recreation of that, it’s a really good flavor substitute and bonus… it has the snappy taste without the super hardcore crunch that most store bought ginger cookies offer.

These are the absolute best thin and chewy sugar coated gingersnap crinkle cookies. And providing that essential molasses and ginger flavor you crave. These gingersnap crinkle cookies are a must make!! And I guarantee they’ll disappear before your eyes, so grab one while you can!
