Lesson Learned

Apparently, I am allergic to the Body Shop's satsuma lotion. At least that's what I assume from the sudden swelling, burning, and itching of my hands and feet after application of the sherbet-y colored substance.

Upside: I smell all orange-y. Maybe that will take my mind off the pain...

Nope. No, it won't.

Bad

Hint to gift buyers and well-wishers: get Merujo some Aveda Foot Relief. This does not make her extremities swell and burn.

Good

Clue to Merujo: stick with the Aveda stuff. It does not make your extremities swell and burn.

Off to fill a ziploc bag with ice...

Every try Kiss My Face Olive & Aloe lotion? It's sold in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. Works for me, and I'm allergic to EVERYTHING. Palmer's Cocoa Butter creme is also lovely and it makes you smell like a mug of hot cocoa.

I actually bought a HUMUNGOUS container of Palmer's Cocoa Butter creme today. It does smell luscious - and thank god, I'm not allergic to it!
