Pucker Up...A former runway model turned entrepreneur is "the balm!" Shelissa Kemplin Kearney is one of those girls you want to hate (but can't): She's smart and beautiful and - darn her! - really, really nice. And now she can add one more accomplishment to her resume: businesswoman. Kearney, a sometimes model, has walked the runway for Betsey Johnson, Chanel, Vivienne Westwood, and has appeared in a ton of print ads. The balms, like Kearney, are a complete package: organic, stylish, and healthy.

Natives of harsher climes know well that lip-chapping is no joke: Once the arid chill gets its claws into your cracked, fissured maw, you're in a world of pain. For Mid-Atlantic types who are used to marinating in a steam bath of atmospheric humidity, winter's uncharacteristic dryness means reaching for the ol' stick of lip balm. Unlike commercial balms, which use petroleum jelly as a main ingredient, Clarksville's own Shelissa's Lip Balm Company relies on olive oil to get the soothing job done. Founded by model and Howard County native Shelissa Kemplin Kearney, the firm produces a line of natural, eco-friendly vegan lipsticks, from fruit-flavored "Little Lips" for kids to the he-manly "Lip Bomb," all fossil-fuel-free and fully equipped with SPF 15 sun protection to ward off the dreaded lip burn after a day on the sledding hill. How do they feel? Well, like lip balm: creamy and grease-free, with a little extra-virgin kick

WASHINGTON - And while you're preparing your little ones for the colder weather, don't forget to take care of their chapped lips and keep them healthy, and in turn, happy.
Shelissa's Little Lips for Kids is designed especially with rugrats in mind. The beeswax-based, olive oil, vitamin E and SPF 15 sun protection chapstick stays on through the snack times and more. Choose from grape, raspberry, orange or natural. The balms cost $3.99 a pop and are the perfect things to toss into the backpack or purse. And Shelissa's offers lip balms for the grown-ups as well. Lip Bomb and My Sexy Lips (Naturally Naked formula) are all-natural vegan lip balms, and Shelissa's Lip Butter comes in Peppermint or Vanilla Bean formulas, as does My Sexy Lips. My favorite was the peppermint-flavored My Sexy Lips. It went on smooth and stayed through my many Diet Coke sips.

For years, fashion model Shelissa Anne Kemplin Kearney searched for the perfect lip balm -- something that kept her pucker smooth and soft without requiring constant reapplication. She never found a product on the shelves that met her needs, so she invented one. Kemplin Kearney's My Sexy Lips is an all-natural vegan lip balm that is scented with essential oils and contains such moisturizers as olive oil, Vitamin E and candelilla wax. The balm comes in four flavors -- Peppermint Patty, Spearmint Leaf SPF15, Naturally Naked and the popular Vanilla Bean. Wear it under lipstick, or line lips and fill in with My Sexy Lips for a sheer hint of color.
Rescue your lips this winter!

Don't Give Her Any Lip...Unless You Want Them To Feel Good...! They say that "necessity is the mother of invention," and Shelissa Kearney model and founder of Shelissa's Lip Balm Company, couldn't agree more. Unable to find an all-natural, long-lasting, super-hydrating lip balm to soothe her parched pucker from studio lights or being exposed to the elements on outdoor shoots, she developed her own and called it...My Sexy Lips.

As an avid (and, OK, maybe a little addicted) Burt's Bees fan, it was kind of tough for me to test drive the fancy pants new lip balms-oh, excuse me, lip conditioning systems-that are flooding the market. I was a firm believer that that little extra sub-pocket in my jeans was designed for toting the telltale yellow tube of Burt's, but now I know there are lots of viable options for lip care, many of which have added benefits that my beloved peppermint-scented stick can't offer. Here are three up-and-comers you should consider pocketing
