There isn't any snow on the ground, but my body is in full winter mode. Dry itchy skin, fly-away hair, and for the first time - red, chapped lips. It's not pretty. This winter, my lips have become so sore and chapped. I resembled Angelina Jolie with cold sores. Not a good look. My saving grace has been Smith's Rosebud Salve - Strawberry Lip Balm. I have two of them. At roughly $8 a piece, they are pricey especially when compared with what is available in the drug store. I have a huge collection of said drugstore varieties, but they just don't compare. They are either not moisturizing enough, or the fragrance in them just irritates my skin and makes my lips look worse. My solution, I have one of the tins beside my bed and the other travels with me...except for today when I discovered I left the tin in my other jacket that I was too lazy to go upstairs and retrieve. Sad thing is, had I remembered that my lip balm was in said jacket, I probably would have made the effort.
Whose placing bets that when I get home tonight, I will be bolting to get my lip balm from my jacket upstairs?

That stuff is gold! It saves my hands in the winter too. I lost count of how many tins I have...
