Dealing with the snow and cold weather has brought up something I never had a problem with in Houston — dry skin. I’m going through moisturizer at an alarming rate. People here call it ”Lowsh” (I’m spelling that phonetically). At first I thought I was having a poison ivy relapse from some garment that had […]
