That's right, my chapstick, I'm completely addicted to this stuff. My brand of choice, Burt's Bees! The best, I love the mintyness(sp) of it and I DO NOT GO ONE SINGLE PLACE W/O IT!!! No Kidding, I have this stuff stashed everywhere.... bedside table, car, purse, closet, bathroom, you name it's there. I know now that it has to do with using it too much and your lips getting used to it and not making their own moisture anymore or whatever. Too bad someone didn't tell me that BEFORE I was hooked. Seriously though, I think it comes from this insane fear I have of my lips getting so chapped I look like I have a Kool-aid ring around my mouth.Ever seen someone like that? Well, in school(like, elementary of course, by High school I was hooked) that was me! Don't ask me why but I never had chapstick.......hmmm. maybe bc my Mom was concerned this would happen....... anyway I have pitures(cringe) yes pictures, of me with those tell tale stains around my mouth, and I don't mean your lips just being a little kool-aid red either, I mean all out full blown circle half an inch out all the way around your lips!! No not pretty, at all! As a matter of fact, I think we should just stop talking about it now as it's bringing back memories it took years of therapy to supress.....LOL.... JK, no I didn't really go to therapy for chapstick addiction, but I do believe I could have back then. Can you imagine? Do you know how mean kids are on a good day??? Can you imagine when there really is something legit for them to pick on you for??? So please, parents don't allow your kids to be victimized by this awful affliction that can be avoided by spending 1.99 at the gas station!! (or Walgreen's if you prefer the mintylicious Burt's Bee's as I do) Wonder if I could get some kickback for the advertisement:)
PS. Hey do you guys think these can double as Macro Monday? I'm all out of flowers:) Course I do have some great macro's of the top of the OJ bottle left over from the tag:)
I'm adding this so I can show how helpful momstime tut. was to me today:) Thanks again!!
