Well ladies and gents...I must say EUREKA!

I was in the drug store this past Wednesday, buying cold medicines for myself and Mr. Lixy (arrggggg!), and I checked the lotion bottles/tubes very carefully and found the one that maddy and wyndhy had mentioned. I hadn't gotten to the grocery store by then Lil, so I didn't try the Crisco. But, anyway...Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hands Essentials Moisturizing Lotion with Alpha Hydroxy, Vitimin E and Keratin..."hydrates hands and strengthens nails" jumped out at me. No other lotion mentioned nails on their label. It was reasonably priced, compared to some of the other ones, and the tube wasn't so big that if I didn't like it I would feel guilty throwing it away...lol!

Well, I forgot to use it the first night (Wed.)...duh...but I got a chance to start using it the next day...after all my chores were done and I knew I wouldn't be in water for a while. I used it again, before bed, that evening...and every day and night since. I had Thursday and Friday, and of course the weekend, off from work so I spoiled myself and gobbed the stuff on. Well, I gotta tell ya folks...it's made a world of difference. My hands are smooth (cept for the most severe places) and my cuticles and nails look fantastic! The lotion is so light and it's not greasy, that I may be able to sneak a small amount on even at work...if I'm not working with unfinished leather, that is.

By this time, every year, I am usually biting at the skin on my nails and picking off the pickery things and constantly complaining that my hands look like "man hands" (sorry guys...lol!). But, with the help of my family/friends, I've discovered a way to bare my hands with pride!

TY everyone! And, for those who have the problem I had...do try this stuff. It's amazing! I rarely have faith in product boasting (label claims made to grab your attention), but this product does what it says!
