Reasons I Know it's Autumn #3

Even though this last week of balmy sunshine and feel-good blue skies has belied the time of year, the date and the rain this morning reminded me firmly that we're actually almost in October - and that means we're on a slippery slope to Christmas (No more mention will be made of this dirty word until after Haloween).

And the third reason I know the weather's soon to turn? Lip balms have started turning up in my letter box, accompanied with perky press releases about keeping my pucker smooth and kissable this winter. Sigh. Couldn't they have waited just a few more weeks? Nope.  Yes to Carrots cheerily set me two of their C Me Smile Lip Butters to try yesterday - Carrot and Berry flavours (you can also get mint, melon and citrus). And sure it would have been rude not to try them out. Rude, I tell you.

95% organic and containing no petroleum - and that translates to no lip drying ingredients - the Berry flavour in particular tickled my fancy. It's YUM - smells and tastes delish. Lots of conditioning ingredients like beeswax, vit E and shea butter make this a well priced choice for winter lips. €3.50 is the damage, and you'll find where to buy info on our stockists page.
