Chapstick

What do you use when you have a cold and your nose is chapped from how much kleenex you’ve been using?  I use chapstick - either Burt’s Bees or Carmex.  It rather stings after a moment, but it soothes the itch and burn before long.  It’s miserable without it, so I am quite thankful for chapstick.

I have had a longstanding relationship with this ointment.  I don’t generally drink enough water (although I do try and am getting better).  Another trouble is that when I do drink plenty of water, my lips have the opposite reaction you would expect... they get really chapped.  Thus, I have become rather familiar with the use of chapstick and hand lotion.  The only two chapsticks that have had any longstanding effect of those that I have tried thus far are the above two.  I would highly recommend them.

[Disclaimer:  No, I have not been paid to advertise for Burt’s Bees, Carmex, or chapstick in general.  I certify that the above testimony is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.]

So, as I am thankful for Electric Toothbrushes, I am thankful that God gave us such a thing as chapstick.
