Ah, what a Relief!



What's this? A necessary evil in the harsh dry Colorado climate. When you live a mile up in the clouds and the sun is closer to your parched lips, it becomes necessary to apply and reapply this stuff every few minutes. I'm not complaining about the sunshine, but when one of these tubes gets lost in the bottom of your purse or rolls under the seat in the car and you are unable to locate the soothing relief, you start to get a little panicked. We know it's time to go on a "chapstick" buying splurge when our family of 5 is digging the ointment out with their fingernails of the last tube available. Yesterday was a "restocking" of lip stuff. With 17 applications, our chapped lips are now smooth - until a child chooses to apply 2 T. to their doll's lips or the tube gets laundered (they don't survive too well, but leave greasy little traces on the clothing).
