If you would like to buy lip balms, they're available on my website! I reduced the price a little because the cost of living is killing us all and we all need nice things, so now they're wholesale prices.

Many many little 10 gram tins of lip balms stacked together. They have black and white labels, saying Luxury Tasmanian Made, Veronica Foale Essentials, Peach Lip Balm. 10g. Ing. Olive Oil, Cocoa Butter, Tasmanian Beeswax, Flavour, Mica. 

There are a few varieties pictured. Greenish blue lip balm in little 10g aluminium tins.  This one is eucalyptus flavoured. Top down photos of very orange lip balms in little tins. This one is orange flavoured. (Surprise!)

If you're interested in true crime in Texas, you've probably heard of Skip Hollandsworth, a writer for @texasmonthly.bsky.social . He has a book out in which he reviews stories specifically about women.

Check it out. He's a legend.

Taxable income means more tax revenue. That's a good thing, right?
Our town of Elgin, Texas added some street art... and started the project the same day our dictator/governor forbade political art on public streets. (Taking aim at rainbow crosswalks.) Who knows how long ours will remain, so Barry took me to see it. #art
I've lived through a lot of those days. They weren't so that good. Though we do seem to be going backwards here in the USA
Colombia couldn't be convinced he hadn't landed in the Indies.
My sister found a dog who was apparently abandoned near her home. She has animals and can't afford another one. This girl is sweet and knows how to sit. All of the agencies in San Antonio are at capacity and cannot take her in. It's just tragic out there.
