Sixteen days into our Celebration-a-Day and still going strong, thanks to a little help from our friends at www.brownielocks.com.
The first thing that came to mind when deciding to celebrate National Lip Appreciation Day was the post I wrote more than a year ago where I featured lip-shaped cookies. I shared them as a fun way to Spread Valen-Shine. Cute as they were, they are so February. Alas, as I am typing this it occurs to me they would be really cute iced in green and packaged with notes reading, "Kiss me, it's Saint Patty's Day."
It also occurs to me that maybe today was named Lips Appreciation Day, precisely because tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. If our lips are really going to get the workout they deserve, then today they must be treated with some T.L.C.
How about preparing you pucker with the Honey Lip Scrub recipe shared below?
1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon of baking soda
a few drops of olive oil
Mix the honey and baking soda until a smooth paste is formed.
Apply the mixture on your lips and leave it on for a few minutes
then gently rub the lips to remove dead skin.
Wash your lips with water and apply olive oil on your lips to moisturize them.
Use 2 or 3 time a week if your lips tend to be very dry and flaky.
Once your lips are soft and supple then how about some lipstick? And if you are a grown woman like me and never learned how to apply lipstick, then consider taking a few minutes to watch the video below:

But, more than anything else, I thought it would be really fun to celebrate Lips Appreciation Day by titling today's post, Loose Lips Sink Ships. Visit us in the comment section and to share a secret you are dying to tell. While we are friends, the fun of the idea is that our lives are not so intertwined that you will run the risk of breaking someone's confidence. And since WWII - the origin of the slogan "Loose Lips May Sink Ships" - is over, we also don't have to worry about tipping off the enemy.
Visit us in the Comment Section and share a secret. It could be your own or someone else's. Either way, you secret is safe with us.
Shining off until tomorrow, but right now I'm off to the comment section where I am dying to share my secret...
