I started my summer flavored Chapsticks July 3. My original Summer-y flavor post last year, had these flavors:
But I discovered that although it looks like a fun rainbow selection, the yellow one is really the original peppermint flavor. That one is a little more wintry for me! I changed out one Chapstick for another one and this is my new Summer-y flavor selection:
I changed out the yellow Peppermint one and added it to the container with all of my Cucumber Minty that I got not too long ago. So this is how it works, I can’t waste the flavors so I’m using them until they are gone. The flavors I have in this container are: Pomegranate, Strawberry, Watermelon, Sweet Mandarin, and Cucumber Mint.
So, I started with Pomegranate on July 4 and like I did last year, I only use a flavor for one day. I apply my chips to quite liberally! I didn’t really understand why I was doing this at first but now I see tons of posts about people complaining and asking about getting chapped lips to a point where they crack and bleed. So I guess that’s an MS thing, dry lips.
I can easily remedy this by using Chapstick. The fact that I have 1 million different flavors it’s just for my own enjoyment. I looked on Taarget’s website and they don’t have the package with all of my winter flavors out yet but I did see a Strawberry Sorbet that sounded interesting! But, it was $3.49 and I have other chapstick that I HAVE to use before I can use my Cucumber Mint all of the time!
Given that Thursday is my favorite day of the week, I stop the order and only use Cucumber Mint on Thursdays! I do like to have Order in my life still and the fact that I can do this makes me feel like I have order even though so much of my life has been affected by having a MS, at least I have soft lips with my Summer-y flavors!
