Lip Balm

I was on a soft food diet for several days after dental surgery, so with bananas in the house I whipped up a batch of "Lip Rejuvenation Formula" from The Passionate Olive, 101 Things to Do with Olive Oil.  The recipe calls for one-half ripe banana and 2 tablespoons olive oil, but that is way too much olive oil.  Just mash the banana and oil together to make a paste, put it on your lips and leave on for 20 minutes.  Rinse off and your lips really are smoother.  One banana makes a hell of a lot of paste, so invite all your chapped lipped friends over for this one.

The Passionate Olive, 100 Things to Do with Olive Oil by Carol Firenze is a fun, if silly, book.  Among the 101 uses are cooking, of course, massage, health tips, beauty treatments (for you and your pet), first aid, head lice (and hairball) treatments, making your own baby wipes -- to name just a few.

But not to worry, I will share selected ideas with my readers as we go along.
