Why did your grandparents ruin Vaseline for you? Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Just wondering what kind of detriments I could be doing to myself by using Vaseline.

Oh boy. Please explain. 😬

Vaseline. Is that non-standard? It doubles as lip balm and for those really dry patches of skin that come around (currently in Japan and it’s been dry af). Or even for small cuts, or used as hand cream.

Also can be used as a fire starter (for camping, just to clarify!).

I’ve just boiled the room kettle a few times, and leave the shower and bathroom door open before bed (not during a shower). Helps a bit, anyway.

When someone I’ve gifted food to sends me a message later in the day telling me the food, bread, whatever was sensational. It tells me that I’ve nailed their food preferences and tastes. I’ve done a good job.

Food is my love language and it’s how I like to say thank you and show appreciation.
