Help! Home Remedies for Cold Please?

Today is Friday and I'm supposed to have written a post enticing you to make wiser personal finance decisions. In my defense, I already have a draft written weeks ago, just awaiting completion.

However, I was feeling so tired last night that I just couldn't bring myself to completing it.

I wasn't even able to exercise properly, save for around 15 minutes of running. After that, my body couldn't take anymore stress.

Buntis? Charot.

You see, I've been battling what I thought was a common cold for two weeks now. It never progressed because I fought it with fruit smoothies and liters of water. I was able to get through the past two weeks smoothly (and healthily, too).

However, this week, my cold returned and was worse. I have very itchy sinuses and itchy and watery eyes and a sore throat. I'm thinking maybe this is allergic rhinitis. I've never had this before and I'm actually placing my suspicion on the mice that suddenly invaded our home.

So, yes, I've been feeling under the weather. Water and fruit smoothies didn't seem to be enough, but I don't want to take any medication.

Worse, nahawa pa si Yuri. The other day, he developed a cold, too, and just yesterday, he started coughing. I'm praying that his is only a common cold and not as bad as mine.
I want to use home remedies for Yuri, but the elders are persistent in making him take medicine, so I'm giving him little amounts of it. He has been drinking smoothies, too. What else should I do?

Here are my friends when it comes to these situations:

Boogie Wipes to wipe mucus away

Zenutrients Natural Therapy Oil for decongestion. (Last night, I placed some on his feet and covered them with socks. This morning, the socks were all over the bed. Mmmkay.)

Rice powder to avoid irritation (Cologne not included - of course)

Lotsa lotsa water and fluids

Smoothies

What else should I do, mommies, daddies, and non-parentals? This is not the first time Yuri's sick, but I want him to be healed in record-breaking time! (I claim it, Jesus!)

By the way, I'm also thinking of making nasal spray to flush my sinuses. But I can't do that with Yuri. He'll surely hate it and would not stay still. So again, what else do you think I should do?

New Sample Room Loot

It has been months since I've ordered something from Sample Room! To be honest, I abstained from ordering because nothing has really sparked my interest. I'm not much of a fan of makeup because I have nothing to wear them to. I can live on my Maybelline compact and Carmex lip balm. I'm more interested in "health" stuff, such as my C-Lium samples, but there's none in the recent months.

Until this month. Two weeks ago, I checked the website and saw that they are offering CarbTrim samples. Perfect for the construction worker in me! However, the samples were quickly sold out.

I checked the website again last week and, to my delight, I saw that the CarbTrim samples have been restocked! Yay!

Before the samples get sold out again, I quickly filled my cart with it and two more samples. Para sulit ang shipping fee. Haha! Anyway, here are what I got:

They were offering two boxes per order of CarbTrim. That means for the next two months, I should bring one when I eat outside. Challenge accepted! Aside from CarbTrim, I also got a sample of OraCare mouthwash and Zenutrients "healing" oil. Nothing interesting, to be honest. I just needed to add something to my cart for the coveted CarbTrim haha.

I also noticed that the bottles came in individual bubble wraps. There were none in all my old orders from Sample Room. Asenso? Chos. Joke lang. Peace.

I gave the mouthwash to my dad, who's a dental health buff. I'm keeping all the others. I think I can keep the Zenutrients oil in my purse for emergency. After all, it says in the SR website that it is used to "soothe away headaches, dizziness, coughs & colds." Hmmm, we'll see. As for the CarbTrim, they're all mine! I'm so excited to try 'em! :-)
