Lake Placid Edition: Tiger Balm
So far in the vacation I’ve survived with only a few bug bites on my foot. At which point I immediately applied my tried-and-true Tiger Balm. I’ve been using this since I was a little kid, and it’s a miracle for relieving the itch of bug bites. It’s especially effective when applied immediately after a bite. I buy mine in Chinatown, but you can also find it at Costco and online these days. It’s supposed to be great for aches and pains, including headaches, rheumatism, arthritic pains and muscles strains and sprains. I’ve never used my Tiger Balm for those purposes, but if anyone else has and can report, let me know.

Karina - that’s so cool that you’ve heard of Tiger Balm! I didn’t think that many people knew about it!!
SK - I’m glad you like my blog!! I’ve talked to Jared a bit, and he’s been very helpful. I’m just trying to spread the word and hoping that other bath/beauty fanatics will find their way here. Feel free to spread the word, and welcome back!!

[…] The smell reminds me of Tiger Balm. And no wonder, since the creator of Einstein Lip Therapy, Ben Einstein (also former owner of Hard Candy), was working in Japan as a cosmetic consultant when he came up with the idea for the product. […]
