Husband's in Las Vegas

Thought of asking him to buy Limited Edition Longchamp Statute of Liberty Le Pliage bags, but it's now sold exclusively at Longchamp Boutiques in New York;s Madison and SOHO only!

I didn't have chance to watch Sex and the City 2,but the DVD will be released in USA on 26 Oct, so I guess there is good chance that Hb can buy it back for me?!

Directed him to the Forum Shops and Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. Fashion Show Mall has all the major department stores like Macy's,Nordstrom,Dillards',Bloomingdales all under one roof,and Gymboree,The Chidlren's Place,Sanrio etc that sell children's stuff. Guess he will have no problem picking up gifts for B1 and B2,provided he can squeeze in some shopping after conferences.

It's very tiring now that hb is not around, I am down with flu and B1's having her SA2 exams from today till next Monday!

B'2s getting even more active and "sticky", refused to nap in the afterrnoon and wake up easily at night. She's also constantly doing dangerous act like climbing up TV cabinet,standing on chairs, walking on my higher-than-usual bed.

Finally ... Solutions for B1's eczema...

BOTH are ordered from US online stores.

Dermarest cost USD6.79,contains Pramoxine Hydrochloride (1% topical analgesic),the main ingredient that's supposed to "numb" the skin, and hence helps to stop the itch.

Doesn't sound good? Yes, probably that's why it's not recommended for continuous use of more than 7 days at one go.

I have found another cream that that is non-greasy, non-sticky and not as stick as cream like Triple Paste.

It claims that it doesn't contain steroids or parabens.

Bad news, it's expensive at USD15.99 for such a small tube! That is before adding on the international shipping cost.

I emailed triderma.com, and was told that International Shipping cost USD20, but I have yet to order directly from them, but will probably do so very soon. as drugstore.com and other online stores do not carry the complete range.

B1's skin was quite bad before Hb left for US.Within 2 days of applying this, Her neck,elbows and legs's broken skin has healed. Her skin is still rough, but that's mostly due to inadequate moisturising. It's very very very hard to get her to apply moisturiser right after she bathe and after she woke up from sleeping in air-con room.

She didn't like the grease and stickiness of most moisturiser,so she would only apply only a little bit on her eczema-proned area.

I have tried so many products from US,these are the two that I think really work.

Triple Paste does help to moisturise and act as barrier cream,but it's very thick and left oily after feel. Peter Thomas Roth's Aloe-Cort is a 2-in-1. Moisturiser with hydrocortisone. If one is like my husband, who believe that ointment(which is many steroids) still works and is necessary, Aloe-Cort is a good alternative. Instead of applying a layer of of ointment then moisturizer, one just need to apply this 2-in-1 lotion like moisturiser.

I will be ordering more of this and probably other products from Triderma very soon...
