It's also a super subtle way to keep an emergency fund on hand without drawing attention. Who knew your chapped lips' best friend could also safeguard your spare cash?

    Aloe Vera cream is a better idea...the skin absorbs the cream. No sticky gooey mess. And putting anything frozen on the skin directly is NEVER GOOD.
