This week, I’m enjoying my “home-away-from home” — California. I’m trying to stay outdoors as much as possible, and I plan on enjoying the desert and the ocean.

A cheaper alternative to yesterday's lemming: Mongo Kiss Banana Lip Balm from Eco Lips. "Made from organic Mongongo oil from Africa and organic Fair Trade Certified cocoa butter, this ultra hydrating balm provides essential nutrients for your lips. Mongongo oil is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are known to remain on the skin longer than saturated fatty acids (like coconut oil) or monounsaturated oils (like jojoba oil), so you know your lips are protected all day. With hints of caramel, cinnamon and dark rum, Banana Mongo Kiss is a blissfully tropical treat for your lips." $2.79.

Reminder: 2/14 we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day…
