LOVE YOUR LIPS...

Lips are often viewed as a symbol for sensuality and sexuality. This has many origins; above all, the lips are a very sensitive erogenous and tactile organ. Furthermore, in many cultures of the world, a woman's mouth and lips are veiled because of their representative association with the vulva, and because of their role as a woman's secondary sexual organ...

The Lips ARE assigned the three-fold duty of

....expressing the thoughts and feelings to the sight by means of their motions

....modifying and articulating the voice, and thus communicating the activities of the mind to the ear;

....receiving and drawing in the food by which the body is nourished

What I love about the lips are their soft, pouty, puffy look. They are an erogenous zone of the body because of the many sensitive nerve endings..which makes lips so perfect for their 4th duty...kissing..

And if you want Kissably soft, beautiful, and functional LIPS..please raise your hand!

5 ways to get on the path to beautiful lips today....

1. Brush your teeth so that they are pearly white. White teeth always compliments the lips.

2. Exfoliate your lips by mixing a pinch of sugar with about a drop of water. Rub the sugar water on the lips and rinse it off. Your lips will be perfect and soft. Be sure to put on a moisturizing lip balm or lipstick afterward so your lips don't dry out.

3. Put on a moisturizer or chap stick to make your lips soft. This is very important because if you do not do this, the cosmetics you apply can dehydrate your lips and make them crack or peel. Also if it's cold outside, use a chap stick not based on water (aqua), as the water will freeze!!!

4. Dab Vitamine E oil on them at night.

5. Grab your favorite color lipstick and go!
