Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cockapoos are awesome!

Man, I don't want to do the research I'm supposed to be doing right now. Bleh.

Also, I brilliantly just stole a better chair from an empty office, and I think it is already making my work life better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Can I ask a cosmetic question here?

Has anyone here ever had luck with finding a chapstick/lipstick/whatever that actually helped chapped lips? Not just momentarily, but actually helped them to heal? I need a good chapstick, pronto!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I swear by Carmex, Burrell.

Also good for chapped baby noses!

I've had good luck with most of the non-petroleum ones. I think I'm using the Whole Foods house brand one now. That said, they just protect them until they're actually healed.

I've found plain old vaseline to be as effective as anything else. Which is why my nose is very shiny right now.

Compassionately intolerant

I use the Blistex that comes in the little blue pot like Carmex.

I find it hugely healing and am quite addictive. Can't go to sleep without it.

I have the sort of lips that peel and crack with the introduction of nearly any foreign substance. This is the only product that doesn't make my lips burn.

Yeah, I just use whatever store brand balm, but I use it all the time.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Blistex also makes a Carmex-esque medicated type in a little pot, which I lurve. (Both are petroleum based, and menthol-y.)

eta: Blistex x-post! Man I love that stuff.

I tried Carmex in college but after a while I decided that it really wasn't helping to heal the chapped lips, at least not for me.

Whole Foods house brand? I can try that.

Honestly the last thing I tried that worked was Medela PureLan. I kid you not. But I finally ran out of the stuff and figured that I should perhaps find out if something made for lips might work better.
