Hi! I'm just checking in to talk more about the things I do to make myself feel pretty. ;-)
Vaseline should be a staple of your first aid kit, as well as a regular part of your beauty routine. Each night, put a little bit of Vaseline on your eyelashes. Over time, it makes them thicker (I swear!) and it does a fabulous job of conditioning your lashes. As a result, your mascara goes on smoother and less clumpy, in the same way that it's easier to comb through your hair when it's been conditioned. If some of the Vaseline gets around your eyes, no worries. You're going to rinse it off in the morning. Plus, it never hurts to moisturize the delicate eye area. Dry skin shows every line and wrinkle.
When you're done putting the Vaseline on your eyelashes, put some on your lips. If you do this regularly, you'll notice a decrease in how often you have that internal debate over whether or not to pull that annoying little piece of skin off your lip, knowing damn well the painful consequence. (And using your teeth to pull the skin still leaves you with a raw, bloody lip. Nice try.)
Fellas, I recommend that you also use Vaseline as lip balm at night. But not during the day. Unless you want to look like Bobby Trendy.
I suggest using Vaseline from a tube, rather than a jar, especially for use around the eyes and mouth. Unless breeding bacteria is your "thing." If so, remind me to tell you about the time that I found a milk-filled sippy cup in Rhys' diaper bag that had been in there for over a week. It. was. awesome.

Doesn't the vaseline get in your eyes if you put it on your lashes?
p.s. I just noticed you have 28 days to go!! Best wishes!
I enjoyed the Bobby Trendy comment. ahahaha!
I find those sippy cups a lot. Esp in the summer in the car. Oh gosh. It is very gag-worthy.
Love me some vaseline! I think that it does wonders. Ladies, the best way to get it from your lips to your husband without him fighting you about the way it feels is just give him a kiss goodnight after application.
Great tips! Love the idea about it making my eye lids thicker! :)
FABULOUS tip.
By any chance does the vaseline on the eyelashes have any ill-effects the next morning whence putting it contacts?
Any thoughts, anyone?
Great stuff...I need some good under eye cream...I have an on start of crows feet...I am in mourning.
Thanks

Oh, nice tips!
Did you get this idea from Shallow Hal??? JK! I use aquaphor.
Is that Bobby Trendy or has Kate turned Jon gay?? Mmmmm.
Hi ladies. To answer your questions: I have never had an issue with the Vaseline getting in my eyes, nor have I ever had an issue with my contacts in the morning. I think the trick is to use a small amount, and to wash or rinse your face well in the morning.
If anyone else does decide to try this, please let me know how it works for you.
