the saga of dry lips

Do you have dry/aged lips? I know my lips are ALWAYS dry.. It's annoying. I've become accustomed to lip gloss but it's WAY too sticky. So recently I've been trying lots of different lip balms. While on this mission to try new lip balms, I was invited to a Campaign on www.Smiley360.com to try ChapStick Dual Ended Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew.. FOR FREE. I got straight to using it. So far I've been impressed with it and am trying to use it often (I have different kinds of lip balms all over the place, so I have to be intentional about using the ChapStick). I use the Moisturize end during the day to keep my lips from drying out. At night before going bed I use the Renew end. I'm not sure as of now how well it's working as it's only been a short period of time. I'm looking forward to using this ChapStick on my trip to China this week... It's going to be COLD and WINDY while I'm there. The best conditions to push it to its limits. This should be FUN. :-) If you'd like to try out the ChapStick Dual Ended Hydration Lock yourself, check out http://h5.sml360.com/-/6qpa for a coupon and more information.

blech no more!

Imagine this scenario... 7 months of dealing with a knee injury that needed surgery so I wasn't able to really do exercise other than walk. Then, miraculously, I finally had surgery. a few weeks after surgery I started physical therapy. I honestly thought my physical therapist would go easy on me considering how long it had been since I'd been able to exercise... boy, was I wrong! my workouts go for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the workout. I just wasn't expecting it. And neither was my body... sometimes during physical therapy I would begin to "smell" myself. I'd never had this issue before during tough workouts so this really disturbed me. How could *I* smell like that?! EWWW!!!! But I was afraid to try a new deodorant because I have sensitive skin and have had reactions to certain deodorants. Amid all of this stinkiness, I get an e-mail from Influenster (a website that gives free samples in exchange for your honest review of the products) telling me to take a pre-qualification survey. All the questions seemed to have to do with exercise and sweat... but I soon forgot about the survey. Next thing I know they tell me to be expecting my #DoMore Degree campaign box in the mail! Excited and yet nervous (again, sensitive skin), I put the Degree MotionSense to work my first sweaty day of physical therapy. I honestly didn't notice any difference during my workout... but afterward I felt fresher. And I realized I couldn't smell anything but the deodorant. So every physical therapy session since then, I have intentionally "tested the air". There have been no more days of grossing myself out! It's GREAT! AND I haven't had any reaction to it with my sensitive skin! :-D #DoMore #contest
