Splurge or Save Thursday: Shea Butter Hand Cream
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
During the fall and winter, I keep tubes of hand cream everywhere — on my desk, in the bathroom, in my purse… Those little tubes can add up, so I’m always on the hunt for cheap, but effective, hand creams.
One I have sitting on my bathroom counter right now is Eos’ Shea Butter Hand Cream. I find this cream absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling behind. I have lavender, but there are several other scents to choose from (I’d like to try Pink Citrus).
It’s also a “clean” product — no parabens, no phthalates, and it’s not tested on animals.
This hand cream is available at Target for $2.99.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Need recommendations on digital pianos, for my kid (6) for Christmas. Which one do you have, how do you like it?
My son would like to learn, but no one in the family is a piano player.
I know we should get something with a realistic feel, i.e. weighted keys. Should we do 88 or less?
Would be nice to also have different sounds (like brass, strings etc), and connectivity to headphones, iPad (Bluetooth or similar).
For lessons, we’ll probably go with a teacher on Outschool recommended by a friend, but if you have any leads, I’ll take suggestions.
Primary just sent me a coupon code for 30% off everything. Code is TY30.
Congrats!
Thanks for your advice earlier this week! I passed my proposal today so I am ABD :)
I am pregnant and need to share that news with my boss in the next week or so before I see them at an event and it’s obvious. I’m having a really hard time mustering the courage. They are generally very family friendly but for some reason I have this idea that they are going to be mad or disappointed because this is going to interfere with my career trajectory at a pretty critical moment. I also think part of me feels like this is the beginning of the end for this job – it’s hard to imagine keeping up with it after a second kid. Any advice?
My 14 month old is suddenly waking up multiple times in the middle of the night screaming hysterically, arching his back like he is in pain, and generally inconsolable. It’s horrible and I have no idea what to do. He’s fine during the day. Help?
For the last few weeks my 4 year old has been throwing huge fits about going to preschool – yelling, hitting, kicking, refusing to get dressed. Once she is there she walks right in to play with her friends and teachers say she is engaged and fine during the day. When I ask her what’s going on in a calmer moment, she says she misses me and likes home better. Any suggestions on how to make getting there less fraught?
My 3 year old has started talking in the most bizarre combination of a baby voice + Cockney accent almost 100% of the time. What’s the fastest way to get this to stop – ignore, or constantly say “I don’t understand you, try again in your regular voice?” the latter is hard to be consistent with and I’m worried it might be drawing extra attention, but this is surprisingly frustrating!
If you’ve ever pulled a tick off your kid, did you send the tick to a lab for testing? Pulled one off of 3 YO’s shoulder yesterday. It was very, very small. It is now in a bag. Wondering if I should send it to a lab. Thank you!
Does anyone else have a high needs kid that just absolutely cannot handle full day school till 3 and after school till 5:15? My 3.5 yo needs 1 on 1 attention basically at school and they can’t do that in after school…we have a nanny that watches baby during the day and both from 3-5:30 (but it’s a pain to pick him up bc nanny doesn’t drive and not to mention cutting our workdays short!) we are getting all sorts of behavioral and ot evaluations but am I just destined to limit his schooling to 3pm forever and also employ a full time nanny? He absolutely needs to be in a school setting (and not in our 2br apt) so a nanny to watch both is not a solution for us…
We took our 22 month old to the dentist for the first time and it turns out he has a fused teeth on the bottom as well as a tongue tie. I’m not so concerned about the teeth but I’m a bit concerned about the tongue tie. Kid was screaming through the whole visit so by the time the dentist finished and discussed what she saw, I was so rattled trying to calm the kid down that I couldn’t really process what she was saying. Kid is on track developmentally with the amount of words he speaks, but we do notice that “R” and “D” seem to be hard for him to pronounce. I hadn’t thought much of it because he’s still so young, but how do we know when this is an issue? He’s not due for another doctor’s check up until December, so I’ll ask about it then but if anyone has experience with this, I’d be interested to hear. Thanks!
I am the OP from yesterday’s breastfeeding thread and wanted to check back in. Thing #1 is you made my anxiety around this so. much. better. Thank you for countering some of the stressful LLL statements that formula would be the beginning of the end. I cluster fed through the 6:30-8:30 fussing, and then we gave 3.5 oz of formula last night as part of bedtime. (Bonus — DH fed the bottle and sang to her). She slept 5 hours! I have no idea where we will end up in two weeks, but for now, combo feeding is so much nicer. It’s also what I originally hoped to do, so I feel much better. Thank you!
What do most people do with the week between Christmas and New Years with very young kids? This is our first year with daycare closed and it’s hard to think of what to do given we’re pretty covid cautious and have a 1 year old. We’ll spend the first weekend doing Christmas with my family but no other plans.
Satin sleep cap or satin pillowcase? For a 1 year old.
Gorgeous curls, super healthy hair with no breakage, mostly doing it because I know I’m supposed to.
Before I just order 5 from Amazon, any specific suggestions?
Definitely possible but will depend on your individual supply.
I felt the same way before birth of my LO (now 3 months old). About a week after I found I enjoyed BF more than I thought I would. I do combo feeding to take the pressure off being the only source of nutrition.
Whatever you choose to do is valid and great for you and baby! Fed is best.
