Spring is busting out all over

This weird but lovely weather has raised the spirits and the Tamoxifen-induced temperature. The hot sweats are unbelievable, I am waiting for a walk-in fridge to be delivered to my bedroom.

I have had better luck researching hand creams. And the winner is: olive oil cream from Camper Hotel, Barcelona or pure Jamaican cocoa butter. If you are not passing either of these countries, then try (expensive) L'Occitane Shea butter dry skin hand cream or Ortigia hand cream, any, they all smell gorgeous.

Back in the real pasty gate world, try Vaseline essential moisture multi layer moisture with those all important 'pure oat extract statys' (?!) or Supadrugs own cocoa butter body butter. The best of the cheaper brands is Aveeno, available at all good and rubbish supermarkets. Ignore all the bumph, but in the words of the mags: "we love the naturally active colloidal oatmeal".

Oatmeal seems to feature and it's good in Muesli, so what about a homemade if messy solution? Mix a handful of muesli with olive oil and in a darkened, locked room, rub it all over your body. If times have got really tough for you too, you can then go on to eat it...
