Look at your hands.  Are they bright red, sore, chapped, and seriously, seriously starting to hurt?  Check, check, and check.  Welcome to winter.

While shopping (for others!  I swear!) at Bath & Body Works, I found a genius little treat for sore hands: Suddenly Sauna for Hands and Feet. They're mittens and socks that, when you add water, start to automatically heat up.  Neat!  Just slather your hands with moisturizer, slip them on and just like the name says, check your dry hands into their own exclusive spa and sauna.

A mineral and salt solution is what makes these treats hot and toasty - and they get warm in under 10 minutes.  The only downside: They don't stay warm as long as I would have liked.  As in, all night.

Speaking of night, that's the best time to use these.  You can't do much walking around in the booties (hello, slippery when wet!), and the mittens are literally that: mittens.  As in, buh-bye fingers.  But how much manual dexterity do you need at night?
