It might be somewhat rare for the
worlds of beauty and food to collide, but it certainly can be a beautiful thing
when they do. For instance, when my
fingernails recently donned “A Oui Bit of
Red”, I dreamt each morning of nibbling a
croissant and sipping a café au lait at a bistro table on some unknown Parisian
sidewalk. This image was certainly more
beautiful than my reality - shoveling yogurt into my mouth between answering
emails and returning phone calls.
Even more than perfectly
manicured hands, lip balm is a necessity for my ever-dry lips, but finding the
perfect brand has been less than an easy task.
Too waxy, too drying, too fragrant, too tingly – it is an extensive list
of grievances. Then, a few weeks ago, a
coworker graciously gifted samples of lip balm, inspired by food and the
seasons. She and her husband are
responsible for these absolutely addictive Stewart & Claire balms, which
are custom made to order. I am currently
addicted to Autumn’s gingery smell and find myself
reapplying much more than needed. These
balms are organic and have a forewarned shorter lifespan than other commercial
balms, so I am parting with two and spreading the love to Washington DC and
Virginia. Check out the Stewart & Claire website and become addicted too!
