Lip Balm

The Lip Balm Frustration (You Know This Feeling)

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me guess your winter morning routine:

1. Wake up with dry, cracked lips
2. Apply lip balm
3. Lips feel better for about 20 minutes
4. Dry again
5. Apply more lip balm
6. Repeat all day long

Sound familiar?

I lived this cycle for YEARS. Tube of lip balm in my pocket, one in my purse, one on my nightstand, one in the car. Reapplying constantly. Lips never actually getting better.

January in Central PA: When Winter Gets Real

Hey friends! Stacie here, writing this on a freezing January morning in Enola.

Yesterday, it was 18°F when I woke up. The kind of cold that makes your face hurt when you step outside. The kind of dry air that cracks your lips within 5 minutes. The kind of winter that leaves my grandson congested and cranky.

Central Pennsylvania winters don’t mess around.
