This Saturday I am in Wisconsin at an Herb Fair put on by the Wisconsin Unit of the Herb Society of America. Held at the Boerner Botanical Gardens 9400 Boerner Drive Hales Corners, WI 53130 (near Milwaukee)
It is the second show this month where I will be outside in the sun all day. The hardest part is drinking enough water when it is warm. If I do not the sun and the dehydration make my lips brittle. I started making this plain beeswax lip balm to wear outdoors when doing these shows and gardening. It is protecting to your lips, keeping them soft.
• 2 tablespoons grated beeswax

Balm for Lips
Makes 1 ½ ounces
Makes 1 ½ ounces
• 2 tablespoons grated beeswax
• 1 teaspoon sunflower oil
• 1 teaspoon apricot kernel oil
• 1/8 teaspoon vitamin E oil
On a stove or in a microwave, gently heat beeswax and oils until melted; be careful to not overheat. Stir well to combine. Pour into a small, clean container, then cool completely. You can add essential oils by the drop as it cools or flavored extracts if you want, but I like it plain in the summer.
