Soft Hands Get You Further

Feel free to contradict my statement, but it is true.  Being a Pastry Chef, I have spent many days burning, washing, kneading and frankly downright beating up my paws.  This has resulted in some lovely worker’s hands that are not silky smooth like a delicate flower  perched atop her chair in court heels and the perfect blowout.  Years of hand holding with boys that make me bat my lashes has revealed the ugly side of over using your hands while toiling away at your craft.  Not that I don’t hold my best girlfriends hand from time to time, but it is always the hommes that notice.  How to fight it?  Well my go-to, that is always in the bottom of my trusty Klein bag, is the little silver tube of saving grace, L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream.  Go the extra mile and participate in some SSB -secret-single-behavior-(thanks Ms. Bradshaw) by lather your lovelies and slipping on a pair of hand softening gloves while you get your beauty rest.

Buy the cream direct. Or if you happen to be perusing the latest embellished finds at J.Crew, I am pretty sure that this hand salve is a favorite pick of Jenna.

A soft handshake does wonders in business and pleasure.

Be a lady.

Since when do fine writing tools and makeup unite? 

Montblanc…the people behind some of the best pens around have a little something to do with the best eyeliner a girl could get her hands on.

Sure drugstore finds fills my purse, by my essentials sometimes get a little more particular than what I can pick up at 2am at the local 24H Duane Reade.

Le Metier De Beaute have created in my very blue eyes the perfect eyeliner pen…and MB has a lotta something to do with it.

Liquid Gold

Available at Bergdorf Goodman.

Klein

My pastry tool bag, my weekend getaway bag, my purse, my EVERYTHING bag.

If I were an engineer, it would be my engineering tool bag as it was originally intended, but alas I’m just an everything girl with an everything-it-bag to boot.

The Klein tool bag has my heart.  A true must-have.  Affordable and chic when the Goyard is just a little out of reach.  Industrial for all of your pastry tools.  Washable, because well used everyday carry-alls go through a lot.

The tool bag comes in an array of useful sizes.  12 inch being the smallest, is the perfect purse.  14 and 16 inch do the trick for pastry tools and the like.  18 inch, and you’ve got yourself a weekend bag.

Being in New York I have a great hardware store below my apartment, next to my favorite coffee spot of course.  The hardware store carries all of the Klein bags, as your local hardware most likely will.  Amazon is also the easiest digital hub to order your bag from.  Ranging from $45-$75 dollars this is a unique and useful steal.

Because Amazon Carries Everything
