Wicks and Wishes Hand & Body Lotion & Soy Candles too

When you first pop open the cap of Wicks & Wishes Jade Hand & Body Lotion you get a reminder of walking past a Bath & Body Works in the mall. It’s a typical lotion smell which when used in large quantities can start to give you a headache. I asked two different girls with two different tastes in lotions to give this a try too. Girl #1 put a little bit too much of the lotion on her hand and started to complain that it was too greasy for her. This could have been caused by the amount she used but considering that the lotion consists of four different oils also may not. Girl #2 put a little dot on her hand. Her first reaction was that the smell was nice and girly. Her second thought was that the lotion was a little oily, but not too much. It did in fact get rid of her dry hands.

I work with a lot of electronic equipment which get bagged and rubberbanded. I get dry hands really quick from the rubberbands. Usually after doing a batch of equipment I use hand sanitizer with aloe which will help clean and refresh my skin. I decided since I was going to try this lotion I would not use the hand sanitizer all day and just use the lotion. It has been two hours since using the lotion and my skin is just now starting to dry again. Five minutes ago I washed my hands to see if the lotion comes off that easily and to my surprise it does not. After the abuse my hands get with the rubberbands and one washing, I am pleased with the outcome of the lotion. And that is coming from someone who rarely uses hand lotion. I am more of a hand sanitizer kind of guy.

The Soy Candles are very nice also. The fragrance is subtle and soy is a better alternative than regular wax candles both for the environment and for the bees. The warm vanilla scent left my bathroom nice and fresh! This New Jersey company is small and local, so go support them if you see their products around. They are also into giving back to the community and charities at large.
