MLMM Tale Weaver — Dry Skin

Fandango5 Comments

My skin can get very dry and itchy. How dry and itchy can my skin get? Well, the skin on my elbows, knees, and heels can become cracked and flaky and sometimes actually bleed. That’s how dry my skin can get.So every day, immediately after I step out of the shower and dry myself off, I slather a boatload of Jergens Ultra Healing body lotion all over my body — literally from head to toe. And now my skin is soft and supple.

It’s a good thing I’ve never suffered from poison ivy, though, because if I had, no doubt it would have taken an ocean of calamine lotion to relieve the itch.

FOWCWelcome to February 11, 2021 and to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). It’s designed to fill the void after WordPress bailed on its daily one-word prompt.

I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (US).

Today’s word is “welfare.”

Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.

Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.

And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. You will marvel at their creativity.
