Day Two Hundred Forty-Nine: Homemade Lip Balm

I recently ordered a lip balm making kit for myself, and today I had a chance to use it. It was easy and fun, and I love the peppermint balm I made! I use A LOT of lip balm, so I think this little investment is really going to pay off.

Ruth said it looked like I was a too-happy mad scientist with all the colored tubes

Day One Hundred Thirty-Five: Chicken Poop

My mother, who raised two girls and who has never been a fan of body humor, gave my boys lip balm called Chicken Poop because she thought it would be funny. It made me wonder if it actually was my mom. I was kind of grossed out by the name, but I decided to try the product anyway, which doesn't have any poop in it and is actually full of wonderful things like essential oils, and I really liked it.
