On days when my mom is able to watch Charlie, I head downtown to catch up on work and get out of the house for a bit. I try to spend the day in the corner of my favorite coffee shop, ignoring my phone and savoring a little time to myself. I can’t tell you how nice it feels to not have to lug around a diaper bag. I bring only the essentials – my personal belongings, laptop, external hard drive and my camera.

The weather in Chicago is finally on the up and up and we are slowly transitioning from winter to spring. Unfortunately, my skin is still in need of serious repair after dealing with the cold temps. I try to make sure my skin is moisturized at night so it is ready for makeup during the day but I still rely on one product to keep my lips hydrated when I’m on the go. I’ve been a long time fan of Vaseline’s Lip Balms but was so excited when they recently launched their lip tins in the US. They are the perfect size to slip into the pockets of all of my bags and I love their new branding – old school and clean, right up my alley. Dave makes fun of me because I literally leave these things everywhere. Everytime we go out I happily find one in the pocket of a jacket I haven’t worn in awhile. I have every flavor and I even use the original jelly to soothe my dry hands and cuticles. The Rosy Lips tin is my favorite – it adds a subtle shade of pink and leaves your lips glossy and fresh. Plus, Vaseline products are all natural and 100% pure so I don’t feel bad when I smother Charlie with kisses all day! I even dab a little bit on my cheeks when I’m on the go and realize my face needs a little lift. It’s seriously the best product for women on the go!

You can find the Vaseline lip tins at Target or at www.vaseline.us. Thanks to Vaseline for sponsoring this post!
