Favorite Winter Thing Number 7: Burt's Beeswax

There are a lot of great things about winter, chapped lips isn't one of them. I'm a no-fuss kinda girl, so chapstick has never been on my list of major priorities.

I hate how if you don't put on enough your lips are still chapped, and if you put on too much, they're greasy. Which reminds me of a sidenote- have you ever noticed how chapstick grease always manages to get everywhere? When I put it on and go outside it manages to get all over my face and clothes and sticks to me like bacon grease. I dunno... maybe it's just me.

Anyways, I have never been a fan of the stuff. Until I got into Burt's beeswax. It's not greasy like the chapstick brand is, it comes in a delightful minty flavor and the best part of all? It's colored, so you can use it as lipstick. This thrilled the thrifty side of me (I don't have to buy a whole new tube of lipstick), so I thought I'd give it a go. 2 weeks later, Burt and I are inseperable. I put it on in the house even when I KNOW no one will see me, and somehow I feel made up.

It's a neat little invention that I simply love. Wish I could wear it all year round!
