Sick Day Essentials

Happy Monday!

If you are reading this, I am happy and well. My husband and I BOTH caught the flu this past week and boy, was it a dozy! I haven't worked out in over a week and will probably be taking it easy for a while until I fully recover. I don't really have a ton to share, so here are some of my sick day essentials if you have a cold or the flu:

1. Cough drops

This is a must have to help smooth sore throats and relieve coughs.

2. Dayquil/Nyquil

This stuff just helps with all the things from headache to sore throat to congestion

3.Tissues!

Tissues are a necessity because your nose will probably 

be leaking like the kitchen sink. I always get the ones with lotion 

because they don't cause your nose to get all dry and chaffed. 

4. Tea

A hot cup of tea really helps when you have a sore throat or a bad cough. 

Echinacea tea is really great when you're sick, I highly recommend! 

You should avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee because can cause

you to become dehydrated! 

5. Chicken Noodle Soup

Nothing makes me feel better than a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup!

6. Netflix/Hulu/Youtube

You'll probably be doing lots of sleeping and laying in bed, 

so I'd definetly recommend a good

streaming service. You can get caught up on your favorite show, 

or finally watch that movie you have been meaning to see.

Here's to feeling better and recovering from the cold and/or flu! 

What are your sick day essentials?

Planning a Baby Shower - Baby Shower Invites

This post is sponsored by Basic Invite. Thank you for supporting my little corner of the internet! All opinions are my own!

I have several friends who are currently pregnant, due to have their babies this spring and summer. The baby shower is a gathering of women to celebrate the upcoming birth of baby girl or boy. Although I am not having a baby anytime soon, I know I will be helping plan a baby shower in the near future and of course, I will be helping with the invites!
