Heating in Chicago, BRrrr!

Recently, our apartment has been very hot. VERY. Like a 90 degree day in summer. It's the hot night in summer where you point all the fans at yourself and can't sleep. Mind you it's Chicago and winter-ish and 32 degrees or less out already. And there are only so many clothes you can take off. The Radiator in my small bedroom is working overtime. It's hissing, it's clanking, it's making its self known to the world. In looking up what could possibly be wrong with this bugger, I found this: http://strawstickstone.com/renters/your-new-noisy-roommate-steam-radiators-in-chicago-apartments/ Really? All I need is a blanket? I have plenty of those! WIN. I guess I'll go close the windows..

Dry Skin - Epic Issue



Basically,

I'm a BzzAgent. Which means I get to try new products *for free* and hand out coupons to friends to share the saving with them. Imagine my surprise when instead of a coupon to go get a sample to try I got full size products from Burt's bees! I'm trying out their intense moisture line and have a face wash, night creme and face mask to try out.

My skin is always dry and flaky in winter, so I'm REALLY excited about trying these out. I get flaky skin on my scalp on the hairline, on my chin and cheeks and sometimes even my eyelids! I've been looking for a good skin care regimen and this looks like the ticket!

I'll let you all know how it goes.
