Alberta Wildlife and Wildflowers

We arrived about a week ago here in Medicine Hat, Alberta , but Gerry is making a trip back home in about a week for a quick pick up of our truck, and to meet up with the movers. It's an 11 hour trip back. He will do that drive and then come back and have to go back to pick up my mom for her move here as well. Lots of work! Be glad when its all over and done with!

So many nice wildflowers and wildlife in the area- even in the city limits! We see so much of it on our morning walks. Even have seen bunnies and we smelled a skunk by our RV a few nights ago- just good we never saw it - and were already in for the evening. 

We are still looking for a home. We think we have found one but it will all depend on what the bank will say. Homes are definitely more expensive here in the city than they were in our small hometown we left. We were hoping that when we sold our place back home we would have used the money from the sale and got a another place for less money here. Doesn't look like it. Just because of the price of the homes here and what we would like.

Loving Gold Bond Lotions For Dry/ Aging Skin

Being over 50, and in menopause, I have really noticed how much my skin has dried out and began aging. What my most annoying thing I have noticed is crepey skin! So was glad to see the Gold Bond brand had one particularly for that- for body and hands.

I have tried a ton of moisturizers....and not all are created equal but I do love the Gold Bond brand.

I had only tried Gold Bond powder before and a foot cream and liked them. Gold Bond does have a great portfolio of skin care products to address alot of your skincare needs. Some of my favorites include:

• Pure Moisture Daily Body & Face Lotion
• This ultra-lightweight lotion can be used on your body and face – an added convenience so you only need to pack one product for your adventures this summer. Plus, its fast absorbing, provides 24-hour hydration, and is free of parabens, dyes and fragrances.
• Available for purchase nationwide at all major retailers and online, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. (Average rating 4.6/5 stars)

 

• Radiance Renewal Skin Cream & Lotion
• This lotion is packed with African shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil – key ingredients for giving your skin that “summer glow”. It also includes gentle exfoliants that slough off dead skin cells to give your skin a smooth surface.
• Available for purchase nationwide at all major retailers and online, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. (Average rating 4.7/5 stars)

 

• Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion
• Proven to visibly firm and plump dry, aging skin, this lotion is just what you need as we leave those colder months behind. Plus, it was voted 2022 Product of the Year for the Skincare category in a survey of 40,000 shoppers by Kantar.
• Available for purchase nationwide at all major retailers and online, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. (Average rating 4.5/5 stars)
• Also available in Crepe Corrector Hand Cream – designed to diminish the appearance of dry, wrinkled, thin hands that look like crepe paper.
• New and exclusively available at Target

 

• Gold Bond Healing Lotion
• The best way to combat dry skin is to stop it before it starts. That’s where Gold Bond’s Healing Lotion comes into play. It’s packed with essential moisturizers and vitamins – like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and aloe – to provide immediate hydration that lasts all day. Together these ingredients help improve the appearance of skin, protect against environmental stressors, and prevent moisture loss.
• Available for purchase nationwide at all major retailers and online, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. (Average rating 4.7/5 stars)

It's time to feel confident again in my skin!
