A bad habit I'd like to break

[pegkerr]

Okay, this is probably so trivial that it's hardly even worth posting, but I'll still send it out there: I feel kinda silly asking this, but does anyone have any tips to help me stop biting my lips? Am tired of sore, shredded lips, but can't help biting away at those little flaps of dry skin that stick up. They drive me crazy.

And no, it's not my worst bad habit, but it's the only one I'll admit to publicly.

Wondering,
Peg

Ah, the Minnesota dry lip problem. I have that myself.

I've found the best thing is to keep good lip balm all over. Chapstick, Blistex, Carmex, Vaseline or this horribly expensive Body Shop Lip Lotion stuff. Nothing really fun in that list, I know, but I haven't bit my lips to bleeding in a couple months now.

Oh, and apparently Minnesota had the driest three months on record from November to January. No wonder we're flaking apart.
