Where I live, it's getting pretty damn cold.

So cold that your face and hands burn and you shiver long after coming indoors.

So cold that you've got to have a pretty good reason to want to go out at all.

Arm yourself with these - it's going to be a long winter!

**Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream**

Once you start using, Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, you'll wonder how you got this far without it.

It was created back in 1930 by Miss Arden to soothe skin. Made up of ingredients such as petrolatum and vitamin E, it goes to work on whatever ails you. In fact, it works so well that Elizabeth used it on her horses' legs!

So whether your skin is chapped, cracked, dry, burned, swollen, rough, red and/or sore, just put a little of this on and see how quickly your skin heals.

I'd say about 8 hours or so...

**My Mums Factory Shottles**

These are so amazing!

Keep these Shottles in your mitts, boots and pockets and keep warm all winter long.

Not only are they damn cute - little water bottles with awesome sweater cozies on 'em - but they heat up with just a click!

No batteries, hot water or even matches needed.

And what's even more remarkable about these little beauties is that they stay hot for 45 minutes and they can be reused over and over again!

If you live in a cold place, as I do, these will be as necessary to you as fleece-lined boots and a hood that you can't see out of!
