Winter officially begins this upcoming weekend, Saturday,
December 21st. It’s also the start of Bowl Season in college
football, with 35 bowl games from December 21st through January 6th.
Not to mention the “professional teams” have their big match-up on Super Bowl
Sunday, February 2nd. The
more intriguing discussion is not necessarily the teams slated for the game or what
the final score and outcome will be? Rather,
it’s about the weather and what a possible Nor’easter might do to the eastern
corridor as it prepares for the biggest game of the year.
As preparations continue to be made for each and every bowl
game, a recent Associated Press post noted that, “ticket holders entering MetLife Stadium will receive a gift bag. Inside are a seat cushion, muffler, ski
gaiters, three pairs of hand-and-foot warmers, lip balm and a package of
tissues.” That’s right—Lip Balm. Lip balm in a swag bag. It works for me. Actually, you will find lip balm in many swag
bags across our nation during bowl season and beyond. Allure
magazine mentioned several different styles of lip balms to be included in swag
bags leading up to Fashion Week in New York City.
So, no matter what bowl game you might be privilege to
attend—hopefully in a warmer place minus the wintery conditions. One thing to remember this season—that’s
right—lip balm. Whether (weather) the
outdoor conditions are “frightful” or you happen to have the luxury of soaking
up the sun. Look for the soothing
protection and comfort of lip balm.
Now, where is my swag bag?
Oh yea, it will be at the Capital One Bowl—Wisconsin vs. South Carolina
in Orlando. I better make sure that my
lip balm is SPF30. This is the Season.
