Let’s face it — the biggest fashion news of 2011 had to be William and Kate’s wedding and everything that woman has worn since then. TV programs and websites profess that she’s bought a few dresses for $100 to $200. Those dresses sold out in minutes. What’s not to love about that for retailers? Her fave stores are listed here.

I don’t have anything Kate wears for you today, but I do have some free stuff! Fix my skin healing balm is one of those things that’s great for chapped lips, cuticles and cracked, dry skin almost anywhere.

I tried it on my hands. My kids tried it on chapped lips, and it works. It comes in vanilla and fragrance-free varieties. We tried the one with 1 percent hydrocortisone in it, but they also sell a hydrocortisone-free variety. I have a set of vanilla to giveaway, valued at $25 to $30. It includes a .25 oz. tub of healing balm, a .15 oz. chapstick sized healing balm stick and a .5 oz. balm stick. This is hydro-cortisone variety and it does have a vanilla fragrance. E-mail me at pam.parker@timesnews.com and I’ll enter your name in a drawing for this stuff. Read about it at http://fixmyskin.com/

We have some pretty cool stuff coming up next week and in this week’s edition of Her Times, which will be in the Sunday Times-News Jan. 1, 2012! Happy New Year!
