I would LOVE this!!!! What an awesome service - I love the "drag-and-drop." I've been trying to do something similar in excel but I still have to type everything in. This is amazing! Thanks, Gina!ReplyDelete
Wow! This would be awesome for my husband. He keeps track of everything by writing it down in his little book- nice!ReplyDelete
This application looks AMAZING! My biggest problem with a lot of the meal planning apps I've found is that it creates a shopping list and you cant get rid of the things you already have, so you're lugging a huge list with things like salt and olive oil on it every time. This one, though... you can remove the things you already have! I think I'm in love.ReplyDelete
That is fantastic! My husband and I always try to plan our meals on the fridge and have a hard time sticking to it! Thanks for the chance at this... email@example.com
What a great idea! Fingers CrossedReplyDelete

What a great program! I have recently started WW for the 2nd time. I was very successful the first go around then had a baby....the rest is history. This would definately help me stay on track!ReplyDelete
Oooooo pick me! I need help!ReplyDelete
What an awesome idea! This would also help get all my family recipes in one place until I get a chance to put them in my family scrapbook. I so need to start meal planning so we avoid eating out so much. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Love your site and love this giveaway!! I just registered for the 30-day free trial and am excited to use it. I have an overflowing of recipes that I use meal plan from. This would make it so much more convenient!!!ReplyDelete

You have the absolute best timing, I was just bickering with my family this morning about how we need a better system to schedule and shop for dinners. This would be awesome.ReplyDelete
I already meal plan every week, but this would be great. I love the drag and drop feature. I was thinking that it would take a LOT of time to input all of my own recipes, but then I noticed that they have a feature where you can upload recipes from websites. THAT would be awesome since most of my recipes come from the web.ReplyDelete
Oh awesome! I've been looking for a easy to use meal planning site. I've signed up for the 30 day trial!ReplyDelete
This would be a big help when it comes to creating shopping lists. Compiling everything in one place is a great idea.ReplyDelete
I just finished a trial on the website and love it. It's so easy to search recipes on the web and also to import your favorites. It made my month of menu planning such a breeze!ReplyDelete
p.s. I've been on WW since January. Definitely will be following your blog. The recipes look delicious!
oooh it sounds so good. it will help me figure out my recipes and meals for me and my familyReplyDelete
This was just the push I needed to sign up for the free trial. Thanks! I'm all signed up and can't wait to see how it helps my family eat healthier, homemade meals!ReplyDelete
Should we able to able to import your recipes? I just signed up for the free trial and tried to import the Chicken Ropa Vieja recipe (am making it tonight) and it didn't work. I love the idea of this website, but it would not be complete if I can't import my favorite recipes of yours!!!ReplyDelete
This looks fabulous! I can't wait to get started!ReplyDelete
I just joined Plan to eat, and love it! Thanks for a great opportunity :)ReplyDelete
My husband and I make a weekly menu and grocery shopping list before we go to the grocery store. However, I am always forgetting SOMETHING from one of the recipes we use. This program looks like it will make it SO much easier to just click a button and everything will be there on a shopping list. Also, we always have trouble figuring our what recipes we like to make all the time because they are scattered in recipe books, online, and in e-mail. This program will make it easier to see all of our recipes in one place! Thanks for telling about this great program!ReplyDelete
Oh my word, this looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
OMG! This is fantastic. Right now I record everything I eat and/or plan to eat in a day in a notebook. I have tried to create something on the computer to make it easier, but it was even more time consuming. This is definitely the best way to keep track. LOVE IT!ReplyDelete
This is just what I need! Hoping to win!ReplyDelete
What a cool idea! I love this! I always do everything by hand, it's so much nicer and organized on the computer!ReplyDelete
This is awesome! Whether or not I win, I'm definitely going to have to invest in this. I'm awful at planning my meals but having ideas for meals and being able to put in my favorites is fantastic.ReplyDelete
Thanks for bringing this site forward!
@Tamera, I'm discarding your comment only because you aren't participating. No hard feelings!! I just want an accurate count. I usually don't comment on my own giveaways but I just want you all to know that you can easily copy and paste recipes from my blog and others. Rather than using the "Bulk Import" at the top you go to "Normal Input", then scroll down to "Ingredients", use the "Bulk Import" tab and paste all the ingredients. Then you can paste the directions. See the diagram above where I pasted my Stuffed Artichoke Recipe. I also discovered it's best to put the point value next to the name so the points show up on the calendar. Hope that helps!!ReplyDelete
- Laura4/8/10, 3:23 PM
I love Plan To Eat! I've created "course" categories for each Main Course meat. For example "Main Course - Ground Turkey" or "Main Course - BSCB" (Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts) and I love that I can organize my recipes by the type of meat they use so I can meal plan based on meat sales or what's in my freezer that needs to be used up!ReplyDelete
It looks great! Thanks for the tip.ReplyDelete
OMG, this looks uhhhh mazing! This is exactly what I NEED! what a great program! I just may have to purchase the subscription after my trial...ReplyDelete
This looks really cool. Does it also calculate the nutritional information for ease in calculating the Points? I guess I'm fixing to find out since I just joined. I would love to win this! I need the help so badly! I love your recipes, site and all the things you share!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much!

What a wonderful idea. I can't wait to give it a try!ReplyDelete
This looks AMAZING!
I desperately need this!
Just started WW and I am LOVIN your site!
Made some Hungry Girl Grab and Go Breakfast Cookies and featured Hungry Girl on my blog last week! Made her blueberry muffins yesterday and will feature them on Monday!
Your blog is a HUGE resource...thank you!
ANd thanks for the chance at winning this great giveaway!
It would be a huge treat! xxooxx
Gina I just cut and pasted like you recommended and my (your) recipe looks so pretty!ReplyDelete
This is exactly what I've been looking for -= something to make meal planning easier and keep me organized!ReplyDelete
so far it looks pretty cool. I hope it has access to everyone's recipes. I love to share and get input on recipes and recipe ideas. I would be great if it could interface with livestrong which is a food tracker. and the quick import for cooking light which I L-O-V-E THAT would be everything I need.ReplyDelete
This would help with my busy schedule next year soo soo much!ReplyDelete
What an awesome idea. I love things that help me be organized.ReplyDelete
Gina the site is awsome! I signed up after my sister isabel (above) told me on the phone about it....hadn't seen it yet! I love it...I've been playing with it and can't wait to kick my daughter off the computer to fill up my calendar! Thanks for sharing ;)ReplyDelete
I love this website! It is wonderful! I signed up for the 30 day trial and I think I am in love!ReplyDelete
- Cara4/8/10, 8:40 PM
This looks awesome.. Thanks for opening my eyes up to something so convenient.ReplyDelete
OMG this website is fantastic! I keep on trying to make a weekly menu but the trying to put a shopping list together is hard.ReplyDelete
oooo I just favorited your blog yesterday, and come back to this great giveaway today! Guess Im here to stay lol! thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
I was just sitting here browsing through your website for recipes and writing everything down on an index card so that I could meal plan for the next 2 weeks. THIS SITE would be AWESOME!!!! If I don't win I am for sure going to get the membership!ReplyDelete
What a great idea! I'll definitely give the 30 day trial a try =DReplyDelete
I have just signed up for a 30 day trial - wow looks good. Think exactly what i need to get on top of my meal planning. Currently into my 4th week at WW and going great but the only part i am finding it hard is what to cook of an evening. This would help me plan so i know :)ReplyDelete
I love the idea of being able to import recipes from different sources. What a great way to get started on menu planning!ReplyDelete
- Sharon McD. ON4/9/10, 6:12 AM
Love your giveaways!! I would love a subscription! Browsing this site lets me know that it would be a wonderful service! Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
This looks like a great idea! The biggest pain I've always had from meal planning is making up the list. My husband and I are currently using e-mealz, which is great because I don't have to meal plan, but I've found that each week the recipes are brand new and I'm not always sure we're going to like them. Plus, we have some staple WW meals (and some of yours of course!) that I'd like to make w/o having to draw up a 2nd grocery list. I would definitely love a subscription to this!ReplyDelete
I could definitely use a tool like this! Compiling a list and shopping is my least favorite part. Favorite part is eating. :)ReplyDelete
- Helen4/9/10, 8:12 AM
This sounds great I cant wait to test it, if it saves me time during the week it is well worth the cost.ReplyDelete
This is really nice and very convenient!ReplyDelete
Great idea, would love to have all my recipes in one place and easily organize what days we are having what. The shopping list creator is a bonus and again a true time saverReplyDelete
- Allie4/9/10, 8:46 AM
I use MasterCook and I wish I saw this before I bought it. Plan to Eat is A LOT easier to use than MasterCook! I love it.ReplyDelete
I like how I can drag and drop and make up my menus. I love the bulk import.
I could definitely could use a program like that! I use pen and paper for all my menus... and just print all my recipes every week. This would work well!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful, time-saving, money-saving, waistline-saving idea! I just started the free trial, and I can't wait to play around with it! No more simple lists of meals on scratch paper for me!ReplyDelete
Seems like an awesome program!ReplyDelete
I would love this. It would save me time, by not having to go through all my cookbooks.I like that it prints out the shopping list too, I would not have to double check all my recipes to see if I got all the things I need. This would come in so handy.ReplyDelete
What a neat service! I just signed up for the free trial - I'm liking it so far. Going to play around with it some more, thanks for the awesome giveaway!ReplyDelete
I think it's about time someone came up with a setup like this. Thanks for the link--marvelous idea!ReplyDelete
OMG I need this more than anything. With working 40 hours a week and going to school planning meals are hard. This is just awesome.ReplyDelete
Thanks for offering this!
- Anonymous4/9/10, 10:11 AM
I would love to win!! Would be the perfect bday gift :) Gina-- you keep us update to date with all things food--love it and fitting into looser pants. shaun--ReplyDelete
I love this - what an amazing giveaway!ReplyDelete
- Stacie4/9/10, 10:24 AM
This is great! I am getting ready to go to Pharmacy school full time and with two little ones at home this would be a great help.ReplyDelete
- Ancsa4/9/10, 10:26 AM
This is for me the very first planner which is a breeze to use. I already registered myself for the first 30 days trial.ReplyDelete
However, I found some tiny mistakes, or better to say some needs for 'little corrections' that would make its use much better. E.g. the program at this moment doesn't give chance to delete those items we added to a list, where we either made spelling mistake, or simple just would like to delete an additional item from there. Where could I send my suggestions?
Anyway, a lot thanks for the opportunity :-))
Hi @Ancsa, thanks for the feedback.ReplyDelete
The ability to edit the courses and cuisines is on my to-do list. I'm assuming that is what you asking for? You can manage the grocery categories, and it will work a lot like that for the Courses and Cuisines.
You can send suggestions to our community forum. To access it, when logged in, click the 'help' link at the top right of the page or the 'community' link at the bottom of the page.
Wow!!! I registered for the 30 day trial! This is an excellent resource and I am sharing it with my friends and posting the site on Facebook!! Thanks for your wonderful resources!ReplyDelete
I would love this! I've recently gone totally vegetarian and practically vegan. This service would be so helpful!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for this find! I am a mother of three young girls, in addition to being a very busy college student, and planning out what is going to be on the menu for the week use to be a pain. I would make a list of meals, then go through and write each item for the meal, then go an organize them according to categories (Dairy, Produce..etc) to make shopping with them easier. This site does it all for me! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I showed my husband and he got all excited because it will help me mix things up.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your great recipes and resources Gina! (I would like to add, I choose your stuff over that Hungry Girl chicks all the time- taste better!)
WOW! This site is really great! Thank you so much for sharing it with us... I ESPECIALLY love that you can import recipes from different websites!ReplyDelete
Gina, this is one of the best give aways ever! I am soo excited to give Plan to Eat a try. I know this service can only make my crazy life (working student) more sane. This past week I spent over an hour looking at & printing recipes (Your Asian Meatballs were a hit) printing meal list and shopping list. Does this service include go to the grocery store too : > )! Thank you Gina!!ReplyDelete
This is GREAT!! I am a student and I like to plan my meals for the week. This would make my life so much easier!ReplyDelete
- Tera4/9/10, 12:07 PM
This is a great service. Will definitely help me get my recipes organzied. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I can definatly see this being useful!!!!ReplyDelete
I WOULD LOVE THIS PRODUCT! it'll be really helpful for me as I am trying to lose weight. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I'm so excited about this ap! Thank you Gina!ReplyDelete
I love it! My significant other and I always try to plan out our meals for each upcoming week and have a very difficult time sticking to our initial plan! Thanks for giving us the chance at this! firstname.lastname@example.com

looks like a great plan !!! cant wait to check it out more :)ReplyDelete
I love the idea and I can't wait to use it. I like the drag and drop and everything is there!ReplyDelete
What a genius idea! Finally, copy and paste recipe builder and a shopping list too!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this site - I'm signed up and anxious to start using it!ReplyDelete
My Type A personality loves me some plantoeat.com! It's user friendly and so nice and organized! Thanks for sharing Gina!!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for introducing me to this! I try to plan ahead and input my recipes into WW Plan Manager each week, but being able to plan even further in advance and have my grocery list all in one place sounds ideal.ReplyDelete
I just came upon your site by accident and I am so glad I did! Plan to Eat is exactly what I have been looking for! Thanks so much.ReplyDelete
Perfect timing! I've been thinking I need to work on pre-planning meals, and was looking at this site yesterday. I would LOVE a year's membership to help me keep my head above water and variety in my meals (we always seem to fall back on the same things). Thanks for the chance! Looking forward to playing with the free trial.ReplyDelete
This looks great! I can't wait to get home tonight and start playing :0)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/9/10, 7:38 PM
I've never been a big fan of any of the recipe storage websites that I've checked out (they always have seemed like more work than the MasterCook software that I already have) but I've got to say that Plan to Eat has potential! I've signed up for the 30 day trial and plan to play around with it and, hopefully, have something that will work well for me!ReplyDelete
I'd love to win a one year subscription!

This would make our hectic lives so, so much easier! Since going back to a 9-5, I've really been struggling to stay on top of my points...life is just so busy!! What a great solution!ReplyDelete

I love the fact that it writes the grocery list for you! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
This website is so helpful! I love the shopping list because I am so disorganized and I also forget to write something down!ReplyDelete
Love it! There's so much I can do with this! Already making this week's shopping list and adapting recipes to be more WW-friendly!ReplyDelete
- Leah B4/10/10, 10:14 AM
I have been looking for a meal planning program like this - but none of the ones I found allowed me to import recipes from other sites. I am so excited now!!ReplyDelete
That would be great! I do meal planning myself, but it would be nice to have other options!ReplyDelete
I already do meal plans..but this would make it even easier! I love that it not only lets you organize your meals, but also create a calendar and a shopping list. This is the bomb-diggity! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Oh. My. God. This site is AMAZING. I am not typically a giddy person, but I can't tell you how long I have yearned to have a tool like this. My excel spreadsheet for meal planning and shopping was just not cutting it. I love the ability to import from websites, I love the bulk method, Love that there's a shopping list feature. Can I seriously marry this tool, or is that too much too soon? ; )ReplyDelete
The only bug I encountered so far was during the bulk input - for some reason it doesn't save the description so I have to repaste it on the next screen. But if that's

- lisa d4/11/10, 12:34 AM
I usually do a weekly meal plan based upon WW meals/recipes. I keep track on a scrap piece of paper what I am making for the week and sometimes this paper gets misplaced or tossed...it seems if it falls from the fridge, others in the house toss it rather than rehang...ugh. Anyhoo, I love the drag and drop feature. I love having all my WW recipes in one spot. it really doesn't take that long to upload recipes to the site using the bulk add. I spent about an hour on the site tonight and was happy with all I found.ReplyDelete
Would love to see an iPhone app. ;)
I will certainly extend my 30 day trial if I do not win this generous give away. Thanks for sharing it! Lisa ( ldelisi at nextmediachicago dot com)
I love this idea! I sit down to plan my meals each week, using google calendar. Then make my lists by hand. I also keep a lot of my recipes in Recipezaar, so I could just import them in! This weeks menu was done in no time flat! Love it!ReplyDelete
I hope they add an iPhone app. That would make it perfect.
- Sunshine4/11/10, 11:11 AM
I am in LOVE! Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win. I have been wanting to menu plan for a long time!ReplyDelete
So excited to use this. I love the calendaring feature! Wish it would sync up to Recipezaar or WW. That would make it worth at least double every month!!ReplyDelete
this looks great and I can't wait to try it! I also wish and hope that it works with WW and iphone/ipods!ReplyDelete
This is AWESOME. I wish I had come up with this :).ReplyDelete
Just found your site last week and now a way to streamline all of my WW recipes and meal planning.
Thanks for sharing this excellent tool!
Awesome program! I would love a subscription!ReplyDelete

Home > About Us > News > UCH Named Top-Performing Academic Hospital in Quality Two Years in a Row
Published on September 13, 2012
AURORA, Colo. – University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) has just named University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) as the highest-performing academic hospital in the United States for delivering quality health care. This is the second consecutive year that UCH has been honored with the award. No other hospital has received this honor two years in a row.
Schroffel (top), Harney
The Quality Leadership Award is given annually by University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), the 116-member alliance of the nation's leading nonprofit academic medical centers and 276 of their affiliated hospitals. The award is given to the academic hospital with the best outcome scores in patient safety, clinical effectiveness, clinical efficiency, patient satisfaction, mortality and equity, which is a measure of whether outcomes differ for patients of different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds.
"Last year, when the University of Colorado Hospital won this award for the first time, I thought it was the proudest moment of my career," said University of Colorado Health CEO Bruce Schroffel. "Now, to be named the top academic hospital in quality in the nation for two consecutive years, I'm speechless. This is the highest recognition any hospital can receive, and it motivates us to constantly focus on providing a level and quality of care not found anywhere else in Colorado or the United States."
Academic medical centers are the research and medical school-based hospitals generally seen as the best places for advanced, complex care. University of Colorado Hospital is the leading academic medical center in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region and is home to some of the nation's best specialists and sub-specialists. Through the research focus of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, UCH offers clinical trial drugs and innovative procedures unavailable at other hospitals in our region.
"Every day our nurses, staff and physicians strive to be the very best," University of Colorado Hospital President and CEO John Harney said. "We're honored that our hard work is being recognized, but the primary reason we strive for the top is to provide our patients with that award-winning care. From the moment patients step through our doors, we're focused on providing top quality treatment and a positive experience."
University of Colorado Hospital also received the 2012 UHC Supply Chain Performance Excellence Award, which reflects the dedication of staff to ordering and delivering medications and supplies while maintaining high quality and efficiency.
"Supply chain might sound boring, but this incredible department ensures our nurses and doctors have the supplies they need exactly when they need them," said Harney. "A delay of even 15 minutes could put a patient at risk, so getting literally thousands of critical, sometimes short-lived medications and high-tech equipment to the right place at the right time is a science unto itself. Part of the UHC award is based on cost-effectiveness of the supply chain and the prices paid."
University of Colorado Hospital is now part of University of Colorado Health (UCHealth), a Colorado-based healthcare system comprised of five hospitals and many clinics and physicians stretching from Colorado Springs to Wyoming. The quality reflected by the UHC awards is shared across the system to improve health care throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
In addition to being named the top-performing academic hospital in the United States, U.S. News & World Report named University of Colorado Hospital the best hospital in Colorado in July 2012. The hospital's specialties have been ranked among the best in the country by U.S. News for 18 consecutive years.
University of Colorado Hospital is the Rocky Mountain region's leading academic medical center. UCH is best known as an innovator in patient care and often as one of the first hospitals to bring new medicine to patients' bedsides. UCH is one of five Colorado hospitals that make up University of Colorado Health. The hospital's physicians are affiliated with the University of Colorado School of Medicine, part of the University of Colorado system. Based on the expansive Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, the hospital is where patient care, research and education converge to establish the future of health care delivery.

The onset of symptoms is gradual, most commonly with fatigue and itching skin as the first symptom. Long-standing bile obstruction is believed to lead to liver cirrhosis. The disease may be associated with autoimmune disorders.
Bile ducts within the liver become inflamed due to an unknown cause.

Alternative Names
Cervical osteoarthritis; Arthritis – neck; Neck arthritis
Definition of Cervical spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is a disorder in which there is abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the neck (cervical vertebrae).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Cervical spondylosis is caused by chronic wearing away (degeneration) of the cervical spine, including the cushions between the neck vertebrae (cervical disks) and the joints between the bones of the cervical spine. There may be abnormal growths or "spurs" on the bones of the spine (vertebrae).
Symptoms often develop slowly over time, but may start suddenly.
Signs and tests
Examination often shows limited ability to bend the head toward the shoulder and rotate the head.
Even if your neck pain does not go away completely, or it gets more painful at times, learning to take care of your back at home and prevent repeat episodes of your back pain can help you avoid surgery.
Expectations (prognosis)
Most patients with cervical spondylosis will have some long-term symptoms. However, they respond to nonsurgical treatments and do not need surgery.

Question by THATgirl 1087 · Dec 20 '10 at 06:38 PM · paleo-friendly skincare dry-skin beauty products
With the wintertime and it being so windy and cold outside, I've had to break out my chapstick and lotions. However, now that I've become Paleo, I figured there must be a better product or way to treat my skin. Granted with eating paleo its much later in the fall/winter season than normal for me to break out the chapstick, and my knuckles have yet to crack from the cold (which is a new development!).
I know chapsticks tend to contain alcohol in the ingredients which make them addictive, because you have to keep reapplying to keep your lips moisturized. 1)Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can use instead of chapstick? Anything I could put in a pocket or purse?
2) What about face and/or hand lotion? Someone once told me in passing to use coconut oil, and I tried it once but was slightly turned off by the greasiness of it (enjoyed the smell). I'm willing to try it again if people think that's the best, and if so what brands would you recommend?

For chapstick- http://www.vitacost.com/Badger-Organic-Cocoa-Butter-Lip-Balm
Ingredients: *Extra virgin olive oil, *fair trade certified cocoa butter, *beeswax, *castor oil, *aloe vera extract, and CO2 extracts of *rosemary, *rosehip & *seabuckthorn berry. * = Certified Organic
Answer by JCB 1591 · Dec 20 '10 at 08:28 PM
For something that's a little more mass-market than the Badger brand so it might be easier to find, Burt's Bees lip balm isn't TOO bad:
Beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil (I know, I know ...), tocopheryl acetate and tocopherol (vitamin E), lanolin, peppermint oil, comfrey root extract, rosemary extract.
Answer by Lauren 1 362 · Dec 20 '10 at 06:49 PM
I love coconut oil - I use it all over. Portability is a little tricky, but what if you got a little tupperware container or old chapstick tube and put some in there?
As far as greasiness, try using a touch less... or just take some time and you'll probably get used to it! I find that if it's warmed up a bit then I need less so I don't get as greasy.
the old chapstick container may not work well in warmer months as coconut oil is liquid at 70ºF. I'm waiting to use up all our VitD drops then transfer some coconut oil into it to put in my purse.

I use this one from the trusted Dr. Bronner's:
the ingredients are awesome.
Answer by Goose 501 · Dec 21 '10 at 06:19 PM
I recently walked into my local Walgreens drugstore looking for a cure for my extremely chapped lips.
Even the Burt's Bees stuff has weird soy ingredients...
But I found a pretty good cure: 100% Cocoa Butter sticks.
They have only one ingredient, and they actually work.
According to a website I read, farmers often use the natural oil on the side of the nose to put on the lips during a long day outside.
The cocoa butter seems very similar in consistency to this natural oil, and I like that.
Here is one (though these are available at almost any drugstore): http://www.healthsuperstore.com/p-cococare-100-cocoa-butter-the-yellow-stick.htmLOL "Buy 116,get free shipping"!
Answer by Jeanne 449 · Dec 23 '10 at 12:45 PM
My family's favorite lip balm for years has been Lansinoh (pure lanolin) You can find it in the baby dept. at Walmart and it is for breastfeeding mother's cracked nipples. It works great on lips too. It has no taste and is quite thick so it stays on your lips.
Answer by Jodi 2197 · Mar 09 '11 at 02:40 PM
I've been making my own lately -- melt 1 part beeswax with 2 parts oil of your choice (jojoba, almond, or argan are lovely). I've bought my ingredients and packaging at www.fromnaturewithlove.com. It's a fun, quick project. I've made my own face moisturizer the same way, only I increase the oil composition to about 4 parts oil to 1 part beeswax.
Answer by being 15422 · Dec 20 '10 at 06:53 PM
i use coconut oil at night, before bedtime, but have a hard time using it in the day because of the greasiness and the fact that it tends to migrate all over my face. i really love everything made by badger. i have a rose badger lip balm that is fantastic.
Answer by VeganApostate 372 · Dec 21 '10 at 11:33 PM
I've learned that if I don't think about lip balm, I don't feel like I need it. So I don't carry it anymore, and just leave it by the bed, which is the only time I'll feel compelled to use it without it being purely psychological.
Avoid licking your lips, rubbing them, or touching them. I know that's easier said than done. Drinking more water also helped, as long as I didn't keep getting my lips wet.
I make my own lip balm with spearmint oil (for the coolness), beeswax, and coconut oil. I try to avoid using it altogether, though.
I do think coconut oil is the best for skin, but shea butter and cocoa butter are also good (I've bought the latter for like a dollar a stick before). Just try around until you find something you like, or mix them together. I've also made the beeswax and coconut oil mixture minus the spearmint for it.
Answer by Oak Dweller 21 · Mar 09 '11 at 04:30 PM
I've found a wonderful lip moisturizer online at Tropical Traditions (TT).
INGREDIENTS: organic virgin coconut oil, organic beeswax, organic virgin palm oil.
TT also offers scented varieties of this lip moisturizer, which use high-quality, pure essential oils as the only additional ingredients.
I've had relatively oily skin all my life, yet am also having excellent results with TT's coconut oil soaps and moisturizers. Since I started using these products a few weeks ago, people have been commenting on the amazing appearance of my skin. I attribute it to the coconut oil moisturizer, and also the coconut oil in my diet.
I've happily ditched all the expensive skin creams I was using previously!
