The cold weather arrived this week.  It's the kind of cold where you want to curl up with a piping hot cup of hot chocolate and stay in your pajamas all day long.  The cold weather also means cold and flu season at school so I'm constantly washing my hands, which results in dry skin like no other.  Consequently, I not only want a cup of hot chocolate, but I also want a skin care treatment for my hands.  Luckily, I have both for you!

Caramel Hot Chocolate

We couldn't just make you an ordinary hot chocolate so we stepped it up a notch a created a simple, yet delicious Caramel Hot Chocolate that uses Godiva Hot Chocolate and Caramel Coffee Creamer.  It's the perfect combination of chocolate with caramel. Honestly, caramel makes everything taste better just like these delicious caramel rolls.

In order to help me with my dry hand situation, Vaseline sent me Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion along with their 5-day test strips.  I was nervous to try the test strips because my hands were to the point where they were hurting and you could visually see how dry they were so I knew the test strips would not be pretty.  On the day I started the Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion you can actually see my skin on the test strip {Before=Ew!}.  So gross!  After day three I could already see the difference so I knew the lotion had clearly worked.  I completed the 5 day challenge and you can see my after test strip.  It barely looks as if it was on my skin {After=Brilliance}.  Clearly, the healing micro-droplets deeply moistured my dry skin to heal it to brilliance.

Now all I need to do is to sit back and enjoy a cup of our Caramel Hot Chocolate because my skin is taken care of because Vaseline is clinically proven to keep skin healed for up to 3 weeks.  Join me?
