She does have a lot of pairs. Probably a dozen. But they are cheap. I think she gets out a clean pair every other day. Depending on how often she uses them. The winter is worse naturally.

THE TERROR IN MY HEART

TOXINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!11one!!!

Your mom: mommest mom of all the moms.

I see. Yea I don’t like that feeling. My skin is already oily. Vaseline just greases up everything further-it’s gross. And it’s hard to get off due to its hydrophobic tendencies.

THANK GOD! (or whoever your deity or non-deity of preference is)

On side note those are some incredibly good balancing skills. I had a similar water bottle at my desk and tried to to do the same thing. Nope. Apparently, as an adult, I am more fidgety than this kid.

I use vaseline on my lips at night, after I use a lip scrub. Even through the ridiculous winter we had, I never had chapped lips. I use it on my feet overnight when they’re particularly cracked and it softens the calluses. I keep getting dry patches from the medicated acne pads I use, and vaseline for a couple days…

Once I told a snotty teen to put some Petrolatum jelly on his fresh tattoo and he said “No, the tattoo artist told me to use Vaseline.” /facepalm

Lanolin. Its way more expensive than vaseline, but its what you put on your nipples when nursing and if it can heal that abrasion it can heal anything. Just don’t use it if you are also allergic to wool cause its pretty much refined sheep sweat. Lyz can fact check that, though.

One of the parents of my student’s was complaining that her daughter’s lips were chapped and the super expensive all natural organic lip balm wasn’t helping.

This reminds me of a time I was on the subway, going to work, minding my own business and putting lotion of my hands. A lady standing next to me shoved her hand in my face and wordlessly motioned for me to give her some lotion. Stunned by her boldness, I did, and she then rubbed it all over her kid’s face, chiding for…

I put Vaseline on my lips every single night. I put it on my hands and elbows in the winter, and I put it on my cracked heels in the summer. Vaseline is the shit, and I will never give it up ever.

I love you Vaseline and your sibling Chapstick. I apply you many times per day and you always make me feel better.

OMG i love Vaseline, I take great pleasure in slathering my lips and cuticles in it at night. Although as a child my mother would come in the middle of the night and slather it all over my lips and nose and wake me up kinda like a weird Vaseline fairey monster.

Me too! So many of the “medicated” lip products make my lips burn, I just coat them with Vaseline every night and I’m good to go.

That’s interesting, because petroleum based balms are the only ones that really work for me. Maybe because my dry lips are the result of the environment, and the petroleum acts as a barrier? I don’t know, but all of the nice oils and butters in the world can’t compare to vaseline for me. I know it’s supposed to be…

The only thing I dislike about summer is shaving my legs on the regular.

Hi, I’m literally a genius (supposedly, anyway - I think IQ is kinda BS, but still) and I believed my sociopathic ex’s “cockamamie stories,” because he put on an excellent performance of “normal, honest person who sometimes has weird things happen to him.” (He also fooled an impressive assortment of my friends and…
