Dry skin is no fun and I have tried a variety of things to combat the condition.  Curel Hydratherapy is an in-the-shower moisturizer that is easy to use.  Apply to the skin as you come out of the shower and pat dry.  It helps immediately but I prefer a longer acting moisturizer and have found argan oil/butter to be a better solution.  It lasts all day without being sticky and can add a soft fragrance.  I use it on GD all the time.
Since it is a yucky weather day, we need a lovely fragrance!
I am enjoying Estee Lauder Fragrance Treasures ~
I have worn Beautiful over the years and it is a nice floral as is Pleasures (the top 2).  I am not crazy about Modern Muse so I will give that away.  * This set is still available if you like this line ~ they are purse size sprays.  A convenient way to try out different scents.

I love crackers and they are my go-to snack when the migraines begin.  This is a fun grown-up version and makes a nice gift when you need a small, quick gift to take.  I made this frequently in my catering days and it was always popular.  Everyone has their version of this recipe so add any ingredients that you like.
 
Easy ranch snack mix
                                                                      Ingredients 
1 cup veg oil (You may not need the entire amount depending on how many ingredients are added)
1 packet of ranch dip mix
Add your favorite seasoning = oregano, dill, al purpose *I add a TBS of rosemary and a can of mixed nuts for adults
1 cup rice/wheat cereal - if you like it
1 bag of fish shaped cheddar crackers
1cup white cheddar crackers
1 bag oyster crackers
2cups small pretzels
1 cup peanuts

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees 
  2. Combine oil and all flavorings
    On a baking sheet  combine the rest of the ingredients. Stir to mix.  Drizzle oil over the snack mixture ~ stir well.
Bake the mixture, stirring every 15 minutes for about 1/2 hour. Remove from oven and spread on paper towels. Cool.
