things i love thursday...

I have a problem.  I have a problem with lip balm.  I don't like chapped lips.  I also don't like rough elbows, heels or dry hands but that will be a lotion post some other time.  Wait, we've done lotion.  I swear, it just gets worse and worse up here in my brain.

I have a slight obsession with lip balms.  I have them everywhere.  Here at my desk, on my vanity, next to my side of the bed, in all my purses, kitchen drawer....you get the idea.  You never know when you're going to need some.  I always need some.  I live in Arizona.  We have no moisture in the air.  My lips need moisture.  Must always be ready for a little kiss right?  As you can see, I've gathered a few (it was easy, they're all over the house).  Let's go over them shall we?

My least favorite is the one from The Body Shop.  It's greasy and doesn't stay on.  I've gotta give it to the old standard, Chapstick.  It just plain works.  The green Origins is new.  I'm taking it for a test spin.  So far, so good.  That green ball looking one at the back is also fairly new, it's called EOS and when you open it, it's a little ball.  Goes on very easily, lovin' it.  My two favorites are the La Mer and the one in front without the wrapper. 

Obviously on the La Mer right?  I mean it's like $45 so it should rock, and it does.  It was a birthday present from my often mentioned great gift giving friend, Ewa - really a perfect present for me. The only reason I have any left is because I use is sparingly.  It is tied with the other one for my favorite, but only because it is so expensive that I stress out when I use it (it is better).   The one without the label?  The one I adore and use. all. the. time.  The one that when I first ran out and the label was gone I panicked because I couldn't remember where I got it, is from Avon and it's about $1.50.  Can you believe it?  I just checked their website for you and I didn't see this exact one but this looks close.

What's your favorite?

Coming up later.........food of course!
