Recently, my husband and I enjoyed our first overnight getaway since our son was born. Our 24 hour excursion was so relaxing, I felt like I had been on vacation for a week.

A reader of Raging Rouge insisted that I review some Burt’s Bees product, so I chose the Coconut Foot Creme. It smells deliciously tropical, and worn under socks overnight it works wonders on softening the skin.
