So I’ve been dealing with a head cold this week and I’ve been miserable. I’ll admit it, I’m kind of a bear when I get sick and nothing makes me crankier than having a cold. Aches, pains, chills, fever, sneezing, running nose, watery eyes. Ugh. Needless to say it’s been a long week. The minute I get sick I usually head to the drugstore to pick up a few essentials to get me through it:
First off, Ombra Spa Aromatic Foam Bath in Eucalyptus (it must be Eucalyptus). I’m a bath lover at the best of times, but when I’m sick, nothing feels better than soaking my aching limbs in a hot bubble bath. The eucalyptus in this really helps clear my sinuses too.
Secondly, Nyquil Cold & Flu. I always take a dose of this about a 1/2 hour before I head to bed and it usually knocks me out cold. Sleep is obviously super important in kicking the cold to the curb but I often either a) can’t breathe because I’m so stuffed up or b) can’t get my nose to stop running. This helps!
Thirdly, good old Vaseline! I usually rub my nose raw wiping it with Kleenex, so I keep a tub of this next to my bed and apply it on and around my nose regularly. Helps avoid a dry and peeling nose.
Other essentials: thick and super soft tissues (any with lotion work really well), Sucrets cough drops (numb throat = bliss!), and of course the basics: peppermint tea with honey, chicken soup and lots of liquids!
Lastly, soft cozy pi’s are a must! Love these from Victoria Secret:
Wishing everyone a great weekend!
