Lotion

I don't know what I would do without this stuff.

It has saved my hands from a horrible fate many times.

If you know me well you know that during the winter my hands dry up to look like alligator hands. They  crack and squirt blood and it really hurts sometimes.

In fact, my brother calls me "Alligator Hands."

(It's kind of ironic because my name is Ali and the first part of alligator is Ali, but that's beside the point.)

I also hate lotion. It's slimy and you can feel it on your hands like an hour after you put it on and all the cheap kind of lotion smells really bad. It doesn't have a certain smell but it smells bad.

One winter my mom actually decided to get me some lotion that I would use (Bath and Body Works). And it WORKED! My hands aren't nearly as bad as they were and if they do start to hurt I just put lotion on. It's amazing.
