Nivea Creme Featured on 'Orange is the New Black'

As a digital influencer for Nivea, I was re-introduced to this tried-and-true brand of skincare products. And apparently so have the inmates on the addictive Netflix series Orange is the New Black.

When preppy prisoner Piper Chapman finally receives her commissary check, she gives  Nivea Creme Body Creme to a grateful fellow jailbird. Because dry skin and jail just don't mix. The iconic beauty brand's blue packaging with white type is also featured in a flashback scene from bad girl Alex Vause's angst-ridden adolescence (second photo).

Thanks to Nivea, I carry a 2 oz. tube of the non comedogenic Nivea Creme lotion in my handbag at all times in case of a dry skin emergency.  It certainly comes in handy when I need to moisturize my hands, elbows, legs and feet. While I was applying it to my hands, a woman sitting next to me commented on the clean, subtly citrus scent, "That smells nice."  When I told her it was Nivea, she seemed surprised, but then acknowledged that she hadn't purchased the lotion in years.

So if you haven't tried Nivea in a while, it's time to take another look at this luxe-for-less drugstore brand.  And stay tuned to Everything She Wants for more Nivea product news.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands.
