Enjoying "coffee and cake" with my fellow Wellness Junkie Kersten & her husband Joerg
We recently returned from an amazing trip to Germany and Austria with my parents. We saw the sights, ate the food (am needing a little healthy de-tox), and met some of my Maechtlen relatives. It was wonderful to see all of my father’s long hours of genealogy research be rewarded with a leisurely, wonderful day with gracious & friendly family members.
The wife of one of my German cousins could be my wellness junkie “soul sister”. She and I definitely see eye-to-eye on trying to use natural, organic products and avoiding chemicals when at all possible. I was thrilled with her very thoughtful gift of Weleda Hautcreme. Weleda is a German company and I believe she mentioned that they are made in the region of Germany where my ancestors hail – how cool is that?
Weleda Hautcreme
Since the packaging is all in German, I went online and found this information (thanks, Google for translating) WELEDA PRODUCT INFO It is wonderful for dry skin. Because I’m on my bare feet a lot, I’m always looking for a satisfactory foot cream to keep moisture in my feet and keep them from itching. This stuff is amazing and you don’t have to re-apply and re-apply. Also great for elbows and for my pooch’s dry, rough paw pads… Since it’s all natural stuff, it’s got to be better than the synthetic alternative at the pet store.
So…here’s the rub though. I can’t find this particular Weleda product in the U.S. But after more research, I think Weleda’s Skin Food is very close or perhaps the same product with a different name.
