Eleni here! I met my new love in Boston. It was a cold snowy night back in February when Meg picked me up from the airport. I was tired, cold and grumpy, so she took me straight to Eileen's house for a glass of wine and girl talk. I sat on my chair, started sipping my wine and complained a bit about everything. Then, I turned my head around and there it was, sitting in its little box on the table, a simple yellow tube with the words "Ganache for Lips" written on it. I found it interesting. I held it in my hands for a bit longer and kept reading: "All-Natural Gourmet Lip Balm." Hmm... even more interesting. Being hungry was one of the million issues I had complained about, so a gourmet anything didn't sound like a bad idea. I kept reading: "Lemon Mousse." Wait a minute. WHAT? Lemon friggin Mousse?! That's the point I gave Eileen the "please please please can I try this, please, and I'll stop whining for the rest of the night" look. Didn't give her much of a choice, she let me have one of her lip balms and I want you to picture the rest of this encounter in slow motion.

I opened the tube and smelled it. My eyes opened wide. Not only does it smell like an amazing lemon mousse, it smells like an amazing FRESHLY MADE lemon mousse. It smells like what the kitchen is supposed to smell like when you bake lemon meringue - a small also known as heaven. The moment I put this mind blowing Ganache on my lips, I turned into a cartoon, my already wide open eyes turned into little hearts and I starting running around the house yelling "Meg! MEG! Have you tried this product? SMELL IT!" Unfortunately Megan's smelling sense is not very strong so the reply I got was something like "what are you screaming about crazy person?" but I'm telling you, I'm PROMISING you, that if you try this lip balm you'll fall in love and you'll want to buy all the flavors it comes in.

Oh, I didn't mention that, did I? Ha. Well, as if the amazing Lemon Mousse flavor was not enough, the Ganache for Lips company makes this lip balm in NINE different flavors:

Lemon Mousse, Vanilla Mousse, Mocha Latte, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Marzipan, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Orange.

And as if I'm not already putting money aside so I can get all of these treats, looking through their website I found out that they have products for the body as well. Seriously, I'm going broke here. Not really though cause the lip balms are just $3.80 - I just plan to get many copies of every flavor, just in case they stop making them, or who knows? I just never, ever want to be left without this product.

Here's a bit about Ganache for Lips' company history:

"Ganache for Lips started in May 2003 in the kitchen of the creator and owner, Patricia West. Just recovering from treatment for breast cancer, she wanted to create a lip balm for herself and her friends which was all-natural, healing and protective of the lip tissue, and not waxy. Having studied aromatherapy to help with the effects of cancer treatment, she included peppermint oil to combat the afternoon fatigue brought on by the radiation treatment. While studying natural perfumery with Mandy Aftel (creator of Cacao, a natural chocolate perfume) she was inspired to add natural cocoa extract to the lip balm. Then, on a whim, Ms. West decided to add real Scharffen Berger chocolate (her favorite) to the lip balm, which greatly enhanced the aroma and color of the balm. After testing the product on friends and neighbors to rave reviews, she decided to seriously market the product and began the process of developing labels and display boxes. In April 2004, she officially declared Ganache for Lips open for business. Her first customer was, of course, the Scharffen Berger factory store in Berkeley. Soon, the demand for the product resulted in expanding the line to nine delicious flavors. Our lip balm, although still a small niche brand, is sold in stores across the United States and has foreign distributors for overseas markets. The brand continues to grow with the addition of new product categories, most recently our fabulous new Whisper Light Body Oil Veil."
