<div>Very frequently, but especially this time of year with the cold and dry air my hands get so dry to the point where they start to get rough and sometimes even crack.  Even with frequent moisturizing its near impossible to keep my hands smooth and hydrated.  As a knitter this becomes a more irritating issue because my yarn will start snagging on my fingers while I am working - and that's no fun for anyone!</div>

<div>A couple of weeks ago I was sent a lotion bar from <a href="http://milkandhoneysoap.com/">Milk + Honey</a>.  Its so perfect how it came in the exact time that I actually needed something like this.  I received the <a href="http://milkandhoneysoap.com/product/bee-sunflower-lotion-bar-with-tin/">Bee + Sunflower</a> bar in the lavender and rosemary scent.  WOWZA! Not only did this lotion bar smell AH- MAY-ZING, but it did the trick!  All I had to do was take the bar and rub it on each one of my hands once, I rubbed my hands together to get an even distribution of lotion and that was enough.</div>

<div>I have tried other lotion bars before, but I couldn't quite figure out why I liked this one so much and what make this particular lotion bar so special.  I moseyed on over to the <a href="http://milkandhoneysoap.com/">Milk + Honey</a> site to learn more about the company and their products.  It was then when I found out that the milk is goat's milk and the honey is beeswax.  This is a natural product that is made out of two main ingredients that are both very rich and conditioning.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Milk + Honey has been around for 10 years now and started out of a home just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico.  They have such a sweet and comforting family business story that talking about it here won't do it any justice.  I think you should just watch the <a href="http://milkandhoneysoap.com/our-story/">video</a> about how <a href="http://milkandhoneysoap.com/">Milk + Honey</a> came about to be able to get an understanding of what this company is all about.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I highly recommend this product to all knitters and crocheters.  It comes in many shapes and all kinds of scents, there is something for everyone!  <a href="http://milkandhoneysoap.com/product-category/lotion_bars/">Take a look</a>!  The good people over at Milk + Honey are hosing a giveaway, enter <a href="https://promosimple.com/ps/6835">here</a> to win your very own lotion bar!</div>
