I love the cat by Alessi the most. It is the coolest (and only) purse hook I own.

Ooh this is pretty cool! And it looks like it would work for thicker tables. That’s one reason I don’t bother with my generic round one - it doesn’t work on half the tables around here. Is it convenient to carry?
I think the clipa would have the same thick-table issue for me although I like that it can be carried as a charm on the bag handle.
Way cool!
I think the elephant is a hoot.

I just sold my brand new in box Instant Pot. Received it as a prize in Vegas and tried to return it, but shipping it back would have cost as much as the return. I wish they'd given me an Amazon gift card instead - lots of useful things to buy there.
I pondered keeping it, but it's bigger than my kitchen. I don't even have a cabinet large enough to stash it when not in use. And I cook about 1-2x a week. Just was not sounding like a viable option.
Fingers crossed the person shows up to get it. I'm selling for less than retail, but better off my floor and spending $$ in my pocket. Next up my beloved mountain bike - my knee is shot, I will not be using it any more. And some spring/summer clothes are up on the bay as well. Now I just need to find some people to spend $$.

Cafe I love the dress !
Sheikha vavoom!! Those heels are au courant w the clear heels on the chanel plastic boots.
I use the cat for a pursehook too !! Slips just in the front pocket of my birkin. And holds it up fine too.
Genie I hope you find an owner for the pot. We love ours

I also have terribly dry lips. The Armani is pretty good but it's more like sheer paint rather than a stain.
One of the nicest lip balms I have found is the Darphin Age defying - its a bit expensive and it comes in a pot, so you have to use your fingers (I prefer a tube), but I find it works really well. I also swear by Bite lip balm for night treatment.
Others that I've tried that are also good:
Dior Lip Glow
Kiehls
It's gone to a good home. I feel so much better.Genie I hope you find an owner for the pot. We love ours
Lip balms: Avoid Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm at all costs. That thing has a stank that cannot be scrubbed off with steel wool.
But if you want to avoid kissing anyone, I highly recommend it!

Bite made my favorite red - it was Lush Lip Tint in Cherry - alas (and naturally) they quit making it. I bought all I could find.
It had resveratrol in the formula so I could also feel like I was helping myself on the wrinkle front. I'm always willing to believe in silly things.
Lucite is having a big fashion moment at Chanel right now so you oldies are definitely goodies! Personally, I can't do a lucite heel as it gives me colossal foot pain and I had two pair from yonks ago that I gave away.

No concern about the Burt's Bees, it's actually terribly drying for my lips and causes them to peel immediately.
So far the only thing that has worked for me is a layer of Aquafor as a base layer, but as soon as I eat or drink anything (or breathe) it is gone. I will give the Armani and the Dior a try.
Big fan of Aquaphor here. I find it's the only thing that really gets the job done for my lips in the winter. I haven't even been able to wear lipstick or anything the last few months due to the dryness. I'm hoping I can go back to lip gloss at least now that it is spring (at least on the calendar anyway...you wouldn't know it by looking at the 8 inches of snow we just got!)
At the very end of my Accutane course, when Aquafor no longer made an impact, I was peeling off whole layers of skin from my lips (like a snake shedding skin...it was that graphic). La Mer’s lip balm was my savior. I also use it for my cuticles with good results—because of travel in Eurasia and Central Asia, plus very drying water, my hands are a perpetual mess. This balm is fantastic.
