Lip Service For Chapped Lips

This lip service will not only moisturize your chapped lips but it will have you speaking in soothing words. For more than a decade, researchers have asserted that women speak much more than men do, with one neuropsychiatrist reporting in a book ("The Female Brain") that women use 20,000 words per day compared to only 7,000 for men.

Toss out the stereotype that women blab more than men. Women and men both speak about 16,000 words a day, according to a new study. The Hubster is in total disagreement with the results, maintaining that his girls speak not only more than 16,000 words a day but at a pace more rapid than the speed of light. Enough of his lip service.

With all the oxygen that is passing our lips as we speak, we girls -- and guys -- need to keep our lips in good working order. I always go back to my tried and true Kiehl's Lip Balm No. 1 Tube. While in Florida a few years ago, my lips were sunburned beyond recognition and a friend suggested Kiehl's androgynous lip balm. For the price and the moisturizing effects, you can't beat it. (Saks $6.50)

As I write this post in my pink robe and fluffy slippers with a thick dose of Kiehl's balm on my lips, snow is continuing to fall. (The snow is beagle height. Where is Global Warming when you need it?) By the time I leave the house, my lips and 16,000 words will give lip service a whole new definition.
