Since the boyfriend started his new job in trades, his hands have become really dry and cracked due to working outside in the cold and harsh weather. The cream that he usually used was not helping at all! I decided to look for an intensive, heavy duty hand cream that he could bring to work and quench his cracked fingers.
My friend, who is a nurse, recommended O’Keeffes for a really intensive cream. She loves using O’Keeffe’s during shifts because it saves her hands. Adding in eczema, wearing latex gloves that trap your hands for hours, and constantly using heavy duty soap that dries out her skin, I trusted her opinion on O’Keeffes and bought one!
It was also on sale when I went to check it out at London Drugs. Normally, a tube or jar (both pictured above) are $10 each, but I got it on sale for $7. I ended buying the jar at a later date, as I’ll tell you about below!
O’Keeffe’s does not play around. It comes with a money back guarantee and also says on the front that it has ‘guaranteed relief for dry hands that crack and split’.
Everything about O’Keeffe’s is pretty simple; none of that fancy marketing stuff. I’ve actually never heard of O’Keeffe’s or seen any advertisements for it before, have you?
As shown on the back of the product, you only need a really small dab for intensive moisture. It also comes unscented. I’ve only seen the two O’Keeffes products in Vancouver, so I’m not too sure if they have scented products.
Another great thing about O’Keeffe’s is that it is not greasy.
This is two weeks of using O’Keeffe’s daily before and after work.
We noticed a definite HUGE improvement in his dry and cracked skin. I wish that I had a picture of his thumb before using the product. Trust me when I say that it was really, rough, cracked and split above the finger nail.
Thanks to O’Keeffes, the boyfriend’s broken and split dry skin has improved tremendously. At $10 a tube, it is not super cheap so I would recommend that you get it only if you really need it! Both the tube and jar are $10 each, although the tube has less product. I guess because it is more sanitary than a jar?
Keep your eye out for sales on O’Keeffes! While at Home Hardware last week, I found the jar on sale for 50% off and bought it right away for the boyfriend again.
Yay!
Thanks for reading!

I received the travel sized cleanser, which was perfect because it takes me such a long time to finish using products. I don’t know how beauty gurus can produce monthly empty videos/posts because I always struggle with finishing products within a month.
Since my skin has been so dry lately, I decided to try this cleanser rather than my normal one that I use to remove foundation. This foundation had a nice, creamy, and somewhat thick texture to it. It didn’t really have a smell, and I could definitely tell that it was more on the gentle side. It reminded me of my Olay witch hazel facial cleanser.
Overall, I think that the First Aid Beauty cleanser really lives up to the hype. It does a great job in refreshing your skin, as well as removing heavy duty makeup. It is also very gentle and suitable for sensitive skin!
I’ve been trying non-dairy alternatives recently, which was why I was super excited to learn about 
Veggemo is a great dairy substitute for those people that require specialized diets, whether it be for health or ethical reasons. At first sip, I noticed that the texture of the original and vanilla was very similar to 2% milk. The unsweetened one had the texture of skim milk.
I love making smoothies with my Veggemo! I simply blended a banana and the original flavour Veggemo, which tasted delicious. It has the exact texture and taste of a regular smoothie.
Tomato soup following the recipe on Veggemo’s website, but added some penne pasta & ham. We also didn’t puree the soup as we didn’t have the proper blender for it. This tasted delicious and was super filling with the pasta & ham!
Banana bread also following their recipe! My friend used original instead of vanilla, and substituted the oil with greek yogurt. She enjoyed the finished product and said it tasted great!
Vichy’s new Aqualia Thermal Extrasensitive moisturizer is a really intensive cream that will quench your skin’s thirst. It is composed of 10% thermal water. Thermal water comes from rain water that has been seeped deep underground, making the natural water extremely rich in minerals.
I liked the pump bottle design, which gave me the perfect amount of product in one pump. The bottle is also airtight to prevent contamination and to ensure purity of the product.
I use this at night along with the
