5 Cold Weather Essentials SheWants

This time of year, whether you live in Canada or California, you need a few extra goodies to help you not only survive the drop in temperatures, but look gorgeous doing it.  Our staff recommends adding these these top products to your SheWants.com Wishlist:

Everybody should keep Rosebud Salve in their handbag!  It soothes lips and calms dryness & irritations (knees, elbows, etc.).

 

 

2. Aveda Hand Relief:

This hand cream smells yummy, helps dry hands and increases moisture levels.

 

 

3. Oakley Polarized Sun Glasses:

Sunglasses with UV protection, glare reduction and optimized peripheral vision are just as important in the winter as they are in the summer.
