My Sick Essentials //

Im not sure whether it's the new school year kicking in, but i've been noticing the sniffles passing around and I won't be afraid to admit I have been feeling the nose block. I hate being sick, because It is useless and you have nothing to do. I just don't like it and I'm sure you can agree, so I have gathered up some essentials that are vital for my extremely glamorous lying in bed with a crappy nose and a pretty fancy messy up do, which sounds much more trendier than it actually is.

So the first essential I have is a nice candle. I find that candles scented with eucalyptus, lavender, geranium and peppermint provide you with a natural decongestant and help soothe you. I love the fact it can completely change your mood and make you feel a whole lot better. I also find looking at the flame provides me with a natural warmth even though I live in the world's hottest climate. My second essential is a lip balm or ointment. I really love the Lucas PawPaw Ointment because It is really multi-purpose and I can use it for my lips, chapped nose skin and dry areas caused by being ill. It smells fab and I love this, I even use it on mosquito bites. My final and most obvious essential is medicine. This is of course an essential when anyone is sick. I hate the heady feeling when you get up and you feel like the whole weight machine has been dumped on my head. Thats why everyone cant count on the trusty Panadol tablets because they are multipurpose and provide pain relief for anything. If you can't swallow tablets, like my dear chum Zazie, there are also soluble versions.

What are your sick day essentials?
