Last night I recounted my Saturday off of work to my husband and it went something like this: “Today I made our family breakfast, cleaned house, did laundry, went grocery shopping, made lunch, went to church and went out to dinner with the family. I feel like I just worked my entire day off.” My husband said, “Remember when you worked on Saturdays and you weren’t able to do any of those things with us on the weekends?” He was right, regardless of what I was doing or how tedious my chores may have been, I was at home with the ones I love, living those moments and not hearing about them after I got home from work.
During the work week my days can seem short and overwhelming. All my home responsibilities don’t always wait until the weekends. So whether I’m overwhelmed at home or stressed out at work my NIVEA gives me the few minutes I need to reorganize my thoughts so I can stay on task and follow through. I bought the Nivea® Essentially Enriched Twin Pack Regimen at Sam’s club which is perfect for home AND work. Each kit contains Two Essentially Enriched Lotion – 16.9 oz. bottles & Two Nivea Kiss of Moisture Essential Lip Care. I love their lip care products! My local Sam’s Club had the bonus bottle of NIVEA Extended Moisture Lotion which is the perfect size for my work drawer. I generally take a spare minute at work to message my hands with NIVEA Lotion. Those 2 minutes or so gives me a moment of clarity & an emotional break that allows me to press on through my shift.
One thing I love about this time of year is that we start to prepare for Spring. The weather in Southeast Louisiana during the springtime is absolutely perfect. So I was extremely so excited to see that Sam’s club started to display their Spring Gardening Products. We have almost 2 acres of land so we enjoy getting our backyard ready for Springtime Entertaining. I love having my family over for Sunday lunch or holiday’s like Easter & Mother’s Day. It really allows me to connect with my family on a deep level. Whether we are planting our summer garden, pruning our fruit trees & bushes, or collecting our fresh harvest in the evening time, gardening is something my entire family does together. Even my mother comes over to get her hands dirty with us!
Naturally all our hard outdoor work as a family isn’t easy. Sometimes our sweat & callouses on our hands really take a toll on our skin. Luckily we have plenty of NIVEA to go around! As you can see in the collage below, even when using Nivea lotion we are creating moments & connecting with each other.

Oh how fun! Isn’t Nivea the absolute best! Such smooth hands I get from using Nivea!
I love Nivea, too. Their lotions smell wonderful without being too overpowering. And gardening is a favorite “chore” at our house as well.
Awww, I like how they’re getting along while pampering themselves!
I love Nivea’s lip balm, but haven’t tried their lotions. Really want to now!
I love NIVEA and that’s a great deal at Sam’s Club!
I have never tried their products before and have been wanting to. I have heard great things about their product line.
Sometimes the day to day stuff does seem like a chore, but we love to do it anyway. I use Nivea at the office for my hands
I can totally see how the Nivea would be especially soothing after working outside a lot!
I love Nivea!! It works great all year long! The outdoor elements can be so hard on your skin!
What a nice family ritual. I’ve always wanted to garden. One day….
Love Nivea! It’s a great moisturizer.
You have adorable kids.
I love Nivea products. Their lotions and body washes are my fave and the face cream in the little blue tin as well.
I love Nivea lotions! They are thick but not greasy, love them!
I am so jealous of your weather, we are still pretty cold here in Utah and wishing it would get warm…
I use that lotion daily!
I love Sam’s club and Nivea is something I am going to have to check out!!
I love Nivea, it helps a great deal with my sons eczema.
I love Nivea lotions. They really work wonders and smell so good too. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Sam’s Club, I’ll have to get there and check them out.
I am ready for Spirng and getting outside.
thanks for sharing about Nivea
Nivea has a lot of products, I love how it makes my skin feel! I love, love, love spring, I’m ready for it to be here, I’m ready for A REAL spring, seems like we’ve been missing out on some things the last two years…
We love NIVEA and use it all the time!
Oh man! I am jealous that you got a bonus, mine was just the two bottles!
Very nice time for all of you!
I always feel like I’d grabbed a great deal when I find bonus bottles when I shop! Your kids are lovely and remind me of the way my own children are together – they goof around, bicker sometimes, but the connection is so strong. Thanks so much for sharing your story
I can’t wait to get into the garden this year – be gone, snow!
