Hello Hive Friends! I’m typing this blog on the spot, right before heading to bed, because I just have to let this out. Sometimes the little things in life pile up, and tonight it’s my lip balm that’s driving me crazy.
Three months ago, I ordered my usual lip balm online. Same brand, same variant — the one I’ve been loyal to for ages. I won’t mention the name here since it’s already visible in the random photos I’m sharing on Hive.
Normally, when I run out of stock, I just reorder without thinking twice. It’s my go-to, my comfort item. But this time, something strange happened. The lip balm broke. Not because it was finished, not because I mishandled it — but because it was too soft, maybe?
Here’s the kicker: only half of it was used when it snapped. I’ve never encountered this problem before, and it left me feeling annoyed and disappointed. I mean, I expect consistency from a product I’ve been using for so long. Now I’m stuck wondering if I should switch to another brand.
It feels silly to rant about lip balm, but when you rely on something daily, these small frustrations hit harder than expected.
Thanks for sticking with me through this late-night rant. Writing this out actually feels therapeutic, and I appreciate you all for reading my little bedtime complaint. Hive really is the best place to let these things out.
