I have very dry skin and dry lips. I have to use lip balm multiple times a day. Over the decades I used all the well known brands. Recently I decided that I will standardize on “Burt’s Bees” since they HAD TO BE GOOD. No question their lip balm is good. But “Palmer’s”, I find, is even better!

I am familiar with Palmer’s. I have used many of their cocoa butter products. But, I had no idea they did a lip balm.

A few weeks ago I, ATYPICALLY, was walking around “Marshall’s“. I was just browsing. Happened to see this lip balm on clearance — dirt cheap. Decided to get it. Nothing to lose. WOW.

I have been blown away. I have been using it, exclusively. All the Burt tubes (& I keep a few handy at all times) go untouched. BIG TUBE. So, I still have some left. But, I plan to buy a ton.

Just wanted to share this with you. OK?

Wow. Wow. Wow. I happened to see one, today, with what was, unmistakably, what was left of a butterfly in its mouth. I was taken aback. Had never occurred to me that dragonflies would, could, eat butterflies. I tried to take a picture, but it was too fast. Obviously very protective of its catch.

I had to look it up. BINGO. Wow. I was shocked. Had no idea.

Yes, I understand that it is all part of nature. But, but, but …

I used to think they were so pretty and cute. Not sure I can think of them like that anymore. I kind of like my butterflies. Nature is CRUEL.
