Chicago Living Tip No. 26
this tip is related to Chicago Living Tip #20. as i mentioned, winter weather and radiator heat can cause more flakes than a snowstorm and stinging cracks to develop on your skin. even worse, it can dry your lips to the point where you might feel self-conscious about making out with that new hook-up. if you’re married, like me, it doesn’t matter, but what attached person doesn’t like to think they can still attract a new hook-up?
after years of searching, i have finally found the bomb of all lip balms. it’s the first time in my entire life that i actually used it all up. it is…Satin Lips? Lip Balm by MaryKay. go ahead and laugh, but let me tell you, the MaryKay of the 21st century is not your mother’s MaryKay.
guys, i guess you’d have to be pretty secure with your manhood to use this stuff. i mean, it comes in pink packaging after all. it’s worth it, though, and women will find it endearing.
now for the shameless plug. order a tube from my sister Lesley’s MaryKay site. mention the bloggo and get 10% off. order online–easier for the out-of-state folks, or call by phone. you won’t regret it. this stuff works.

lol - is that the stuff that comes in the cow-print jar with a picture of an udder on it? you can put that on your lips???

That’s the stuff! Desperate times call for desperate measures…if it’s good enough for a dairy cow’s udder, it’s good enough for my lips. (Just don’t mention this to my husband.)

Don’t know if all preggos suffer this same fate, or if it’s just because I’m eating a million oranges every day, but I gots a serious case o’ chapped lips. Might have to give it a go!
