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?

20 Random Facts About Me!

Hi My Name is Elizabeth and I am a beauty blogger/vlogger and here are 20 random facts about me!

'Girl Behind the Blog'

So I have been blogging/making youtube videos for a little over two years now and I thought it might be a good idea to let you all know a little bit more about my personal life. I saw Kerralina do this post over on her blog and it really inspired me!

So far starters, my full name is Elizabeth.

I am half Italian and half Polish.

I am currently employed as an Application Specialist for a local hospital. 

I graduated from college in May 2012 with my Bachelor of Arts in Information Science. 

I am considering going back to school for my Masters Degree in Information Science.

I have been dating my boyfriend for almost five years.

I love to travel! My goal is to travel to Europe within the next five years. 

I would go sooner but it is so expensive to fly internationally!

I am a Christian.

I would love to see other fellow bloggers do this post as well

xoxo Liz

Monthly Look-See: October 2012

Every month I try to check in with my readers to let them know what is going on in my life!

Work: Well as some of you may know who follow me on twitter, I quit my job at the beginning of the month. In my August Monthly Look-See, I reported to you guys that I got a new job as a cell center/help desk person for a small company. That didn't work out very well. I am now currently employed and on the hunt for a new job in the IT (information technology) world. I have had three interviews in the past two weeks and hope to get a job from one of those three interviews.

Life: Since I haven't been working, I have been able to focus heavily on my Youtube videos and blog posts! I have been frequently posting both videos and blog posts, in hope to make a small income on my favorite hobby once I gain more subscribers/readers. I know it will be a while before that happens but I still enjoy putting out new content for you!

Makeup no buy:  My makeup no buy has been going very well. I only recently bought a few new nail polishes and a new mascara (check out this video to find out what I got). I actually got rid of a lot of my older makeup last week because it has expired and I didn't want to use expired makeup. I plan on sticking with this until I get a new job because I can't spend extra money on new makeup :(
