(Hi Megan!)
It is time to make some confessions around here. I know this make shock some of you, others are probably aware and relieved I am coming to terms with my addiction.
Last week I told you about my shampoo habit. There is more. Much more.
I am a chapstick addict.
Wow. That feels better just saying out loud.
I think it started around college. Maybe it was the lousy dorm air vents. Maybe it was the Oklahoma air. Maybe it was because I was on my own for the first time. However it started, it hasn’t stopped.
I hide chapstick around the house. I can recount at least 11 tubes hidden around my house. That doesn’t include the four in my purse and two in my desk drawer. I need this stuff! I can’t sleep at night without one last application. I can’t go long after a meal without digging through my purse to find the right after dinner flavor.
I am not particular about the brand either. Sure, I might favor Burt’s Bees or Cherry Chapstick, but I will try anything once. At the Walmart after Christmas sale, I came home with three holiday themed tubes. Every time I see a commercial for a new brand/flavor, I have to go buy it.
Do you think I need help? Can’t this just be my personality flaw? It’s not like my work is effected. I am a function addict. That counts for something right?
We good… this will make the intervention easier if you already think you have a problem. haha
I’m a Blistex girl, but I’m also pretty dependent on it. I heard once that there is actually an ingredient in that Carmex stuff that keeps people dependent on it. Sneaky, sneaky.
YEAH!! I am not the only one! Spouse gives me such a hard time about the chapstick! It is everywhere! I even keep one in his car.
Have you tried the ‘chicken poop’ lip junk. It is my absolute favorite! you think twice before you lick your lips with that.
