Sometimes You Gotta Drag Your Boyfriend to Cracker Barrel for Dionis Caramel Pumpkin Spice Hand Cream
As you know my man is not a fan of Cracker Barrel. Anywhere he has to sit and wait for food while country music plays loudly is a NO go for him. Not to mention he’s Mr. Universe aka my body is my temple and it’s not like Cracker Barrel has a huge selection of tofu and greens to satisfy him.
I can’t say I feel the same way. I actually like it. Ok, confession, I hate country music! Ugh…! No! But the rest of the experience is pretty darn awesome. I love roaming around the country store as I wait to be called for a table. The old time-y wimey candy, the candles, the seasonal do-dads, the hand cream…the freaking hand cream!
For a long time, the only place you could snag Dionis Hand Cream was online or at Cracker Barrel. A few years I stopped begging to go to Cracker Barrel to buy the crack that is Dionis Hand Cream Crack because ulta.com started carrying it. Best day ever! Well, maybe not, the Ulta purchase didn’t come with a chicken fried steak and hash brown casserole.
Halloween came pretty early at Cracker Barrel this year so I did beg to go and see what they had. He’s always a terribly good sport about it if not a little grumpy when we get there and the line is massive and the country music is blasting hard enough that it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. But he’ll be all in control and casual. He’ll also be the gentleman he is about things and asks to be added to the seating wait list before casually slipping outside to wait while I browse inside. I don’t think he’s realized yet that the music outside is louder than it is inside. Let’s not tell him though….! Shhhh our secret.
This year, Halloween sold out fast. The items I wanted were gone and surprisingly didn’t even pop up on Mercari. I was looking for that light-up ghost/reaper they had but nope, gone and gone. I did manage to score a large 3.3 oz size of the Diones Caramel Pumpkin Spice Hand Cream or as they are calling it this year Hand & Body Goat Milk Cream. I recall last year they had two formulas! Hand cream and body cream. This year, they combined the two. This is a little heavier than the normal hand cream but still absorbs fully. It’s also larger at 3.3 oz but still not big enough for a body cream as you can easily use this up quickly. None the less it’s still my favorite Fall product! Why do I love it so much? Because it smells incredible. It smells like Fall! Apples, caramel, pumpkin, and spices….! It’s so yummy and it’s SOOOOOO strong! It seriously lasts and lasts and lingers on and on! It smells incredible and is well worth a haul if you’re living your best basic life over there.
Hate Cracker Barrel? No worries! Ulta totally carries the original hand cream formula and has it paired up with a lip balm for $9 and currently, Diones is on sale with buy 1, get 1 50% off at ulta.com!
Fall is here! Do celebrate it with this great smelling hand cream!
