Sick Days

We all know sick days are no fun. Trust me, living up north where temperatures get cold and miserable, getting sick is very easy during the winter.

So lets see, your sick, your laying in bed in pajamas, reading a book or magazine. Everyone says when you get sick, bed rest bed rest bed rest.
Not so, your health also depends on your pyshcological thinking. Get out of bed, grab a shower, put on your favorite outfit, even your favorite underwear and socks and put on your daily makeup. In fact have a little fun with your hair, see what you can do that's new and fun for your hair.
Go out some place, with out over doing it of course, and enjoy your day.
Sure there maybe some sniffles and sneezes, but think of how great you look, compared to being in bed and feeling sorry for yourself. Try the mall or if you want to take it easy, go to the library, find a book on a subject you've always wanted to read about. Make your day something special for you.
The more you associate illness with 'me' time and the more you'll recover faster.

Here's some products to help remedy sick days that I've found that work.

Seacret Body Lotion-it comes in 3 different scents and feels very good on your face and any other part that feels dry.

BedHead Treat Me Right hair mask- The peppermint smell is enough to make sinus feel better, plus your scalp and hair will thank you for 5 minute soak. It also has a cooling effect on any part of the skin it touches so I can tell you it feels good.


IMPORTANT TIPS:
  • Look for sprays and perfumes that have a citrus scent to them. Studies have shown that citrus scents perk up people and in general and a great way to bring up the mood.
  • Try having a calender or some sort of photo of the tropics in your room, it'll help to brighten your day.
  • Flowers, real or fake, always make moods brighter.

That's all for now,
