3 Things

There are 3 things that I’ve become obsessed with and can’t live without. 

Antibacterial gel, chapstick and hand cream.  I have several of each so that I can put a set in each handbag or diaper bag.  Is this a disorder?  Does anyone else do this? 

Purell Antibacterial Gel: 
With all the germs and viruses going around these days you just never know what you’ll come into contact with.  I used to catch a cold or flu a few times a year.  Then I became more conscious of the things I touched and got into the habit of sanitizing my hands after I touch things in public.  Especially with today’s technology where everything is touchscreen - atms, the digital pens and keypads you use when you pay with your credit card, self checkouts at the market, shopping carts, etc.  You never know what the person before you has, touched or have done with their hands.  I even have a large bottle in the office so that I can sanitize my hands after I touch door handles and other people’s computers/keyboard.  I’ve seen ladies leave the restroom at work without washing their hands.  Perfect example of you not wanting to touch what she’s touched knowing she didn’t wash her hands.  EW!  It sounds like common sense on simple hygiene but I’m sure it’s often overlooked.  I’m proud to say (knock on wood) that Kenny, Kareena and I rarely get sick because of this. 

Burt’s Bees Chapstick:
I’ve tried many brands of chapstick and Burt’s Bees are the best.  It smells good, tastes good and leaves your lips looking moist and plump.  I can’t go a day without it.  I think I have like 10 of these all over the place so that I can get a hold of one whenever I need it throughout the day.

L’Occitane Hand Cream:
You have to try it for yourself.  It’s the best hand cream ever.
