Coffee Break: Lip Snack Moisturizing Glossing Balm

I was recently gifted some products from Kulfi, and I was surprised how much I really liked this balm.
I knew I would like the viral lip oil — everyone likes that, although I was concerned the berry color (First Sari) color would be too dark for me. It isn't — it's really lovely. Wore it on my date night on Saturday!
The balm, though — if you like the “no makeup but elevated” look, this balm nails it. It feels great on your lips, and the hint of color is perfect for adding a sophisticated but minimal glow. It isn't overly sticky, and it lasts on my lips for a few hours, which is more than most. It's supposed to have a cherry chocolate scent, but it's very mild; I barely notice it to be honest.
The Lip Snack Moisturizing Glossing Balm is $22 at Kulfi.com and Sephora.

What are your favorite summer recipes? Looking for some new ones
I’m simple.
Pesto
BLTs
Corn on the cob
Lots of blueberries
Cowboy caviar
Watermelon with tajin
Corn on the cob
Strawberry shortcake
Rhubarb pie
Good burgers on the grill
Homemade ice cream
Panzanella. Ice cream with fresh berries.
Caprese salad, white gazpacho, ceviche, Niçoise salad
Once the cherry tomatoes start ripening, orzo salad with fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, and feta or mozarella. Make the orzo, toss everything in there with dressing of your choice (I usually use a greek dressing)
Anyone have favorite summer camping meals to recommend? We are going in a few weeks and need some fresh ideas. We are not backpacking, although it is a short hike from parking to our tent location so we prefer to keep the perishables to a minimum.
I like making pad thai while camping. If you do all your chopping beforehand and just soak the noodles instead of boiling them, it’s a one pot meal. It is a lot of perishables though. Campfire pizzas are a lot of fun (naan/pita + pizza toppings)

Campfire pizzas are a lot of fun (naan/pita + pizza toppings), and I also will do soup + crusty bread. You can freeze the soup and then you just need to heat it up, and since it’s frozen it functions as its own ice pack in a cooler for a day or two, maybe longer depending on the cooler situation.
Peanut butter and honey sandwiches, with banana slices if you are fancy.
We do boxed macaroni and cheese with baby carrots or other ready-to-go vegetables. Not the most satisfying thing on earth but we really don’t like spending a lot of time cooking while camping.
We’re moving to a new condo and have discovered that the next door neighbor (shared wall) has been smoking on his patio, which isn’t permitted in our city in multi-dwelling buildings (including patios). There’s a mechanism for reporting secondhand smoke violations through the city’s code enforcement website for just this kind of scenario. I’m torn on whether to go that route or to address it directly when I don’t know this neighbor yet or have any idea if he will be vindictive. WWYD?
