Last week I had a conversation about strange personal quirks. One of mine is a lotion addiction. No, not fetish, ADDICTION. Keep your mind out of the dumpster.

It got me thinking about how we all have our little routines and in the case of those with OCD, rituals. I spent the weekend observing myself, and looking at my vast lotion collection. Funny, I never realized I have six different lotions in my purse alone. All in all, I have about 20 bottles, tubes and jars of moisturizers and creams. Don't forget "beauty fluid."

At any rate, I find myself lotioning my hands about every hour and a half. After a bath, I use one of my favorites all over my body. Before bed also calls for head to toe moisture. I have a new nighttime pick as of this weekend too. It's baby lotion with chamomile and lavender to calm fussy babies at bedtime. I figured since I was examining this obsession, I might as well add to it. By the way, I slept like an infant last night.
