my "switch over" from toxic products to natural products will take some time. it can be a little overwhelming to think about all of the changes that i need to make, but taking baby steps and just keeping at it, i think it can be done in less than a year...i'll try to make at least one positive change a week. i think i can do that!the first product i want to review is lip balm...for years and years i have used chapstick (the regular in the black tube). i absolutely love the way it smells, and it reminds me of my gramma as she always had a tube in her bathroom drawer that i would constantly get into....alas, it turns out that regular chapstick? not so good....it's made with petrolatum, phenol, oxybenzone, cetyl alcohol, D&C red no. 6 barium lake, FD&C yellow no. 5 aluminum lake, and other unrecognizable ingredients. some of these chemicals cause cancer and actually make your lips dryer. boooo...and out the door it goes!

i am definitely mourning the loss of my regular chapstick, but i have found a better lip balm! its called "Chicken Poop™ Lip Junk". no really! it's from a natural company called "Simone Chickenbone™ Natural Put-Ons™" ....a friend of mine bought me a tube at our local TSC farm store as a joke. turns out, i loved it AAAND it's made of all natural ingredients - bonus! Avocado oil, jojoba, sweet orange, lavender essential oil, bees wax, and Vitamin E. that's it....it smells heavenly and is so smooth on your lips (smoother than burt's bees wax). plus you just feel better when you use it because you aren't licking off and eating a bunch of cruddy toxic chemicals. i also dab it under my eyes before bed sometimes just for a little extra moisturizer....check em out. i give them 2 thumbs up for sure! so thank you "Simone Chickenbone" for making it!.....they have other natural products too but i haven't tried any of them yet...great company, great product, AND they're funny!
