Dumb-Da-Dumb

Yes, I just had another Dumb moment. Really, I'm not sure where it is my mind goes at times.

So I've been complaining all day about how chapped my lips are, and just how bad they hurt.

As I sit here on Gather, I see we have oranges in the fridge. They are a true weakness to me, I lovvveee oranges.

So I get one, peel it, cut it, and start to nibble on a slice.

The juice pours down into my cracked lips, and they start burning.

Really... Now why did I do that.

Now they hurt even worse. lol

Well, you were hungry. Actually the orange oil which gets into those cracks is a healing agent. So tomorrow your lips will be better.

Claudia,

That's great to know. However, I don't think the sudden burning sensation was quite worth it. lol They're still throbbing.

I use Burts Bee for my lips. Keeps them soft and moist and no more chapped lips.
I bet that Orange did sting. hope they feel better soon :)

I love the medicated blistex lipbalm.. its the green one, not the mint one.. works the best and costs about a buck and a half.

Medicated blistex! I agree! That's good stuff.
