YOU DID WHAT???

One of the affiliates I write for has a drop down menu where I am supposed to choose the category I'm writing for. A few days ago, I realized they don't have a category for "stupid things I've done." So I wasn't sure where that article would end up.
About a month ago our metrologist said we were experiencing very dry weather. And we might also notice how dry our lips are.
Dry lips is something I deal with all the time. I have lip balm everywhere. In my desk, in the bathroom and in my purse. I think I may even have some in the car.
About a week ago I starting smearing stuff on my lips. They were just plain sore.
The drier they got, the more lip balm I applied.
In the middle of the night, I woke up and my lips felt like they were going to crack. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the light.
YIKES.
I looked like I had seven Botox injections.
The very fact that my husband noticed my lips the next morning tells you something.
He said, "what happened?"
I shook my head, "I'm not sure."
I don't know if you remember the blog a few months ago, the one about me reading directions? I don't.
The one lip balm I had been applying more heavily than the others was one that was supposed to be a "treatment for dry lips."
I flipped the little tube over and read the back.
It is an exfoliate.
So now, a week later, my lips are back to normal.
