Manic Monday!!
Haha ha, for my older readers, this is gonna be stuck in your head the rest of the day(or night) lol welcome to my first manic Monday post!!! So, let's see if i can keep it as organized as possible lol.
So, y'all know about my son testing positive for the flu....yea, he is feelling much better lol. No temp, just a headache and tired feeling.
The weather here in Georgia right now is just crazy!! When i woke up this morning, i was freezing!! By this afternoon i was without a jacket and pretty warm in the sun!! I'm honestly thinking of slipping mother nature some of my meds!!
I don't have a lot of money, not privileged in that area, so, i do love to save money!! After my purse got stolen i went out to buy a new one. Well. For under 30.00 i never found anything i liked. Even tired the local goodwill.....no luck😣 i finally decided to run into walmart and just pick me up a wallet for now.
Um. What!? All the wallets(that wasn't kiddie) were like 12.00!! Are you kidding me? As i looked and dug......i found a wallet that caught my eye.....
Adorable??!! Right? Got to digging. Trying to just find a price, i was pleasantly surprised to find out it was only 3.00! You already know😉
Totally worth it!
My birchbox hasn't arrived yet😳boooo! That threw off my subscription box Sat! Good news is my ipsy bag has shipped! And I'm praying I'll get my walmart winter beauty box too!
I know their isn't much cause I'm super tired. Promise to write more tomorrow!
Muahs!

Fabreze luminaire with scented shade
Hey y'all!! Just a quick little product review!!
I LOVE❤ fabreze!! Really! And some of their things are really cute!! I've been wanting one of their luminaires for a min now but just didn't like the price tag!
Today i took my daughter up to our local dollar General. While picking up dish soap, i saw these wild berry ones on sale for 5.00!! I just had to have one!!
After l got home and opened it....i was pleasantly surprised!! It had a very strong scent!! Which is just great!! It smells like something from bath and body works but can't put my finger on what though! If i figure it out I'll let yall know!
Once i put it my room, i was in love with it! End of story!! My room smelt AMAZING! And i absolutely love candles but, can't use em due to my grandson....Lol this is the perfect alternative!!
Anyhow, was looking online(cause i have to have a few more!) I found one on eBay(used) for like 14.75 plus shipping!!! Um. NO!
This really had me scratching my head!! So, i looked at Wal-Mart and theirs was 9.97!??
I have decided i am going back to dollar General tomorrow to get me some more!! If y'all have a dollar General, it's will worth it to see if they have them!! For 5.00, its a steal!
You know what, i think I'd even pay the 10.00 for it!! Look how adorable it is!
Muahs!

It's official......it's flu
Well, i ended up taking my baby boy to the ER, his fever peaked at 103.5!! That was last night, this morning it was 102.7. I called his Dr and they advise me too have him seen. They ran the flu test and yup, it came back positive! So, poor boy is basically in quarantine in his room!! We are trying to keep the baby(and ourselves) from passing it!! Here are a few tips I've found online that can help:
Sip tea
Murray Grossan, MD says:
"I drink hot black or green tea with lemon and honey. Drinking the tea and breathing in steam stimulates the cilia—the hair follicles in the nose—to move out germs more efficiently. Lemon thins mucus, and honey is antibacterial."
—Murray Grossan, MD, ear, nose and throat specialist at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, in Los Angeles
Get a protein fix
"Research shows that diets that are too low in protein can deplete the immune system. So I make sure to get protein-rich foods throughout the day, especially fish, eggs and yogurt."
—Douglas Kalman, PhD, RD, director of nutrition and applied clinical trials at Miami Research Associates
Wipe out
"Gyms are crawling with sweaty towels, dirty sneakers and other germy grossness. Instead of sitting directly on a mat or bench, I'll place a clean towel on it first. Any equipment that I have to touch—like free weights or bicycle handlebars— I'll clean first with antibacterial wipes."
—Franci Cohen, group-exercise instructor and owner of Fuel Fitness, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Y'all, i believe in that whole heartedly!! I always wipe down workout equipment!! Before AND after!! I think that should be mandatory!!
Sanitize your office space
"I clean everything that gets touched by lots of people—microwaves, fax-machine keys, doorknobs, elevator buttons, the armrests on my chair—with a good disinfectant at least once a week, even if it looks clean. It's just basic hygiene. Rhinoviruses can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours!"
—Philip Tierno, PhD, author of The Secret Life of Germs
Breathe out
"When I'm walking past another person and he is sneezing or coughing, I gently and slowly breathe out until I'm beyond the 6- to 10-foot zone around him. This keeps me from inhaling the air he just contaminated."
—Stafford Broumand, MD, a plastic surgeon in New York City
Keep your hands to yourself
"I never use water fountains or the railings on stairs. They've got the prints of hundreds of germy hands (and mouths!), and they don't get sanitized as often as other surfaces, like sinks. I'll use my own water bottle, thank you very much!"
—Cheryl Lassiter, a kindergarten teacher in Atlanta
Brush up
"Anything I use on people's mouths, like lip brushes, I clean more often than other tools to avoid passing germs around. I clean lipsticks with an alcohol wipe."
—Sonia Kashuk, a makeup artist and founder of Sonia Kashuk Beauty
This idea is a one I would have never thought of!! Yet, most useful..lol
Call it a day
"My strategy is to double down on trying to get enough sleep, even if it's just a power nap on a plane. Research shows that our bodies need seven to eight hours of sleep in order to stimulate an immune response from our 'natural killer cells,' which attack viruses. Sleep is my most reliable defense against infection."
—David Katz, MD, founder of the Yale University Prevention Research Center and author of Disease-Proof: The Remarkable Truth About What Makes Us Well
Protect your paws
"I wash my hands often and pat them fully dry so they don't get flaky, which can allow germs in. Then I moisturize."
—Diane Berson, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital
Don't talk dirty
"As a doctor, I need to keep my cell phone with me at all times. During the day, I might place it on a counter or use it in between opening doors, pushing elevator buttons or shaking hands with patients or colleagues. Cleaning my phone with a sanitizing wipe regularly cuts back on the germs that get near my face and mouth."
—Dr. Broumand
So, yea....just a few tips. I'm sure some are common sense, and hopefully some are new tips for you! !
So, at this time, we have thrown My grandson in the toy box and just pray he doesn't get sick before Christmas!! So, good luck for this flu season y'all!! And if at all possible, GET YOUR FLU SHOT!!
Muahs!
