Carmex

I’m addicted to lip balm–lip balm in all shapes, flavors, scents and forms.

Two things motivate my addiction. For one, my papa got me started. He used to give me his ChapStick all the time. I became addicted to cherry and strawberry ChapStick.

Secondly, my sinuses are nuts. On my clearest day, I still don’t breathe very clearly through my nose, so I’m literally a dirty mouth-breather (haha!) It makes for pretty much constant dry lips. They’re not gross or anything, I promise, they just don’t retain the moisture that most people’s do.

I have a few favorites, but about 6 years ago, I discovered the joys of Carmex.

Carmex is my go-to stuff. When I really need something, it’s there for me, providing the impenetrable protection that my lips deserve.

Honestly, there are three different containers of Carmex on my desk at this very moment. There’s a little tin, a squeezy tube of classic Carmex, and one of the new cherry flavor. I flipped when I saw the cherry flavor come out! I had actually just been wondering why there wasn’t a flavored Carmex and viola!

I wouldn’t recommend the cherry flavor if you actually have any splits or anything like that at the time. The flavoring can make it sting a bit if you do.

Matt actually posted up that you can sign up to get a free sample of Carmex, so of course I jumped on that! It took less than a minute to sign up and I haven’t been spammed yet, so you might wanna give it a try too, with the dry wintery weather heading slowly in!
