Save your lips this winter season with some aloha

January 29th, 2008

As I sit here recovering from a horrendous respitory infection with the suspicion of the onset of whooping cough by my doc, I’ve had all of the usual cold symptoms in addition to a myriad of other “delights.” When you have a raw nose, sore throat, feel like you got hit by a Mack truck, etc. the last thing you need or want are chapped lips. I don’t know about you but the wax of Chapstick that fills in the cracks of chapped stick just annoys me. Then you have an ointment like balm like Blistex that gums up when you talk.

So I used to just suffer until one time I remembered I had some lip balm from Hawaii. People, I tell you it is the most relieving thing one can apply to cracked, chapped lips. The best part…the ingredients are all natural: palm oil, olive oil, macadamia nut oil, beeswax, natural flavors and aloha. That’s right, aloha. Tonight I felt the burn of those dry lips and put on my Kauai Kiss lip balm by Island Soap and Candle Works and almost instantly my lips were soft and relieved of the annoying pain. I thought my cold weather readers might like to enjoy some relief courtesy of the islands or heck even warm weather people can protect their lips from the sun and wind. I love this stuff and my lips are saying mahalo! I hope you give them a try!
