So I managed to catch one hell of a cold today. The weirdest part is that it came completely out of nowhere and usually I can feel it coming on. =-( Anywaaaay, in this cold, brittle weather, it's always important to make sure you take care of your skin- especially if you're constantly blowing your nose! I swear by Aquaphor. I always carry around the little 1.75 oz. tube so that I can apply it every hour or so when I have a terrible cold and it's the only thing I've ever used that actually DOES prevent chapping...even Vaseline doesn't work 100% of the time.

If you need me, I'll be in my bed watching CSI re-runs, applying Aquaphor and blowing my nose with Puffs tissues plus lotion...and let's not forget downing Tropicana OJ...oy.
