Winter product reviews
Just thought I'd take a few moments to review three products that have helped me get through the cold cold Pittsburgh winter.
Rain-x Windshield schmutz happens, especially in winter. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Earlier this month, an article on Cool Tools revealed that there's windshield washer fluid with Rain-X in it available. At Target, I bought a bottle of a knock-off product (I think was called something like Rain removerX) for $1.99, and it works great. This washer fluid makes dirt and water fly off the windshield rather than sticking. Now I don't have to try to see through the layer of dark grey slurry that's all over the rest of my car.
Eucerin creme I can't tell you whether it's the dry weather or a curse placed on me by one of my many enemies, but my hands look like a mummy's these days. However, nothing works better than Eucerin for fighting off the effects for a bit. Don't get the lotion (which isn't anything special), get the creme. You might wonder why you're paying twice as much for something with the consistency of paste, but after you try it, you'll know.
Bombay Sapphire Gin If you're going to self-medicate through the depths of the mid-winter SAD, you might as well medicate in style. And what's better-tasting than Bombay Sapphire? Well, Grey Goose Vodka, actually, but until I'm out of grad school, I'll be sticking with the (marginally) cheaper Sapphire.
