I Kicked The Habit

Remember when I talked about my addiction....to lip balm? You can read about it here. Well, I forgot to follow up and let you know that my addiction is long gone! I started putting a little Aquaphor on my lips when they were so bad....and presto....in a few days they were almost as good as new. A few days after that I took all of my lip balms from the car, my purse, the bedroom, the bathroom, my workshop and my office and threw them all in the garbage.

I can actually go days without putting anything on my lips now! Really! It is amazing. The lip balm companies are creating our addictions by making a product that causes us to have to keep using it more and more. It dries out our lips and makes us go crazy.

I have one tube of Aquaphor in my purse. I sometimes put a tiny dab on in the morning...and sometimes I don't. I try to put it on before I go out for a walk, but if I don't.....I do not freak out and have a panic attack and I don't carry it around with me. It just stays in my purse and if my lips are feeling really dry....a little dab and that is it.I don't put it on 50 times a day and I don't put it on before bed.

I AM NOT ADDICTED TO LIP BALM ANY MORE!

For all of you "users" out there....you can kick the habit. It wasn't hard at all once I found a product that doesn't force you to use it more and more often.

Now, I do have to say that Aquaphor does not come in a cute little lip balm tube....it comes in more of a small hand cream tube...but it works fine for me. I also have to say that I am a big fan or natural and organic products and this is certainly not either of those, but if I am only using it occasionally....I think it will be fine.

So if you are looking to kick the lip balm habit....all I can say is Aquaphor!!

This That and The Other Things

I went on line the other day and Googled "Lip Balm Addiction". I had to laugh when I saw that there is a support group. Hopefully it was a joke. I did find an interesting article that suggested a product called, Aquaphor. I ran out and bought it immediately and globbed it on my red, chapped lips. I really don't like petroleum on my lips, but it is actually helping.

Irv and I are thinking about having our grandchildren call us Mimi and Papa. It sounds so strange to even say that. Our Thursday e-mail from Tresa said that the baby is the size of a lime this week, and it's reflexes have developed! Unreal!

I have tons of ideas swirling around in my head of things I want to make for the consignment shop. Irv purchased a drill bit for drilling through glass.....I can't tell you what I am going to try, but it's something I've wanted to do for a while now. Let me just say that I am bouncing off the walls with excitement.

I can't believe I have a craft show in a week! I am so not ready for it, and I am so not worried about it! What an awesome feeling!

I got these darling earrings from Cathryn over at Chile Cats. She makes beautiful jewelry and sent me these because I am a regular reader of her wonderful blog! I couldn't wait to wear them!

Temps in the 50's means bare feet to me. They aren't pretty after being covered all winter, but they sure are happy!

What are you up to on this fine Saturday?
