Poop isn't something one generally dreams of slathering onto the face (especially around the mouth). And, yet, I want to rub it all over my lips and scream "I Love Chicken Poop" from the rafters (of a barn, mais oui).

Yeah, Chicken Poop Lip Junk is actually an all natural spa-scented Chapstick-esque miracle–created by a former farm girl with jojoba, beeswax, lavender essential oil, soy and sweet orange–that I tried a few years ago and think is out of this world in both the scent and texture department.  It totally smells like relaxation.  I mean, how can you not be a sucker for sweet orange?

Anyway, I was reminded of Chicken Poop recently, when I spotted a box at Locali's checkout counter. The company, Simone Chickenbone, is actually Kansas-based, but it's available here.  Highly recommend.

Most of us neurotic ladies have have a makeup item we can't leave home without.  Mine is DEFINITELY lip gloss or balm and this might actually be my favorite all-time Chapstick-esque situation.  Just thought I'd share the love.
