Lending A Helping Hand (Cream)

Have you noticed that hand creams seem to be less popular amongst the Western beauty community? I have tried some great formulas made by L’occitane, Crabtree and Evelyn and Ahava, but unfortunately they just lack that cute packaging Asian hand creams seem to dominate in.

I know, I know… I shouldn’t put down great hand creams because of their lacklustre packaging. However I find that sometimes when I lend out my hand cream to my friends at school, it just feels great when they compliment on how adorable the packaging is.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? I constructed a gallery of some of the cutest hand creams I have come across from Korean brands. See for yourself, you just can’t help but say “aww”.

I am here writing to you in bed as Toronto has been experiencing some of the coldest days I have ever experienced in my 20 years of living on this planet. I think yesterday has reached temperatures of -40 C / -40 F. Sometimes with all the layers of clothes, the running noses and losing all sensations in your fingers and toes, it makes me want to spend all money on a flight to Hawaii rather than on my college tuition. But I have complied a few pictures that makes me feel that living in – what I think is the Arctic- Toronto, more bearable.
