Seasonal lip balm
Chantal
When fall shows up, I need a lip balm with comforting aromas. I get rushes of forest scents in fall and winter and I make sure it smells everywhere. My shampoo smells like cedar, we put balsam fir essential oil in the kettle on the wood stove, I put some in my bath salts... in short, with a lip balm that smells like fir, I'm in heaven.
