Product Placement

I'm not usually a pusher of 'products', but I am deeply in love with some new handcream that MrB got me for Mothers Day. Which I realise was months ago, but I hadn't got around to actually using the stuff until a few weeks ago.

I have been getting increasingly worried about my hands - all that washing up, napisan-ing, floor-scrubbing - the usual barefoot-and-pregnant stuff that I get up to - has been taking quite a toll. My hands look 40+ years old. The rest of me doesn't. Which is why I don't know why I couldn't be bothered investigating the lovely blue Crabtree & Evelyn bag MrB presented me with all those months ago.

Oh! I know! It's because he also gave me a little beige box with this inside:

What's to love about C&E handcream when you've got Georg Jensen jewellery to swoon over...?

Especially when C&E always makes me think of Little Old Ladies - with the lavender, and the teeny-tiny soap dishes, and the lacey linen nighties... And the salesladies wearing aprons and sour expressions...

Anyways, I finally got around to opening my bag, and have to say the La Source Handcream is the most excellentest handcream ever. And it makes my hand smell lovely and sweet. And soft - this is the important thing - soft and young-looking. And makes me want to rub handcream into dry old leaves so they turn green and glossy again.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share that all with you, because I'm sitting here looking down at my hands as they type away, thinking, Crap! I really need some more of that cream to carry around with me at all times...

MrB did pretty good this Mothers Day, it has to be said.

However, is it just me, or does his jewellery also make anyone esle start singing "Meet George Jetson! Da da da dah! His wife Judy! Da da da dah!" etc etc?

^^ not to be difficult or anything, but his wife was Jane, and his daughter was Judy. Not to be difficult. No.
I understand your point though, but the internerd is full or nit-pickers and i just thought i'd contribute to the general feeling of 'oh will you ever just fuck off'. ya know?

Aside, i have a Natio hand cream... it's lovely. I like natio products, they all smell gorgeous too.

Mars - Ooh. I love Nation. And Innoxa - they have cheap but yumptious bubble baths. And I am addicted to the long soak.

OMel. Indeedy I do, with the Jetson humming. Oh. And more nitpicking - that'd be Georg no e Jensen.

Shrooms - if that's all you can add, that's just fine. I think you may like to commit the 'Georg Jensen is a God' to memory.

Pom - he is indeed. Although seeing as he's lurking this very moment, he's pushing it.

Georgia - Jewellery is good. I don't believe I need to add anything else.
