The Poshest Nightcap I’ve had to Date

My HG cure for dry hands

As a (sort of) beauty blogger, I can easily give you a quick list of products to try to smoothen and soothe your dry, itchy hands.

As a frustrated chef, I can definitely tell that my flaking hands will not respond to even the richest hand cream I have on my boudoir. From the looks of it, I think they are dying to be soaked in extra virgin olive oil while my cuticles need a generous swiping of almond oil.

So this is me, (finally) going back to work in the kitchen, trying to prettify myself the best way I know and seeking nirvana at the same time.
