FYI Vicks Rub



TWELVE SURPRISING USES FOR VICK'S VAPOR RUB

1. Decongest Your Chest
The most common use of Vick's is to decongest your chest and throat area. When applied to the upper chest, it provides excellent relief of cough and congestion symptoms.

2. On Your Tootsies
Applying Vick's to your feet provides nighttime cough relief. Generously rub Vapor Rub all over your feet and cover them with socks. Your cough will subside.

3. Achy Breaky Muscles
Vick's relieves sore, overworked muscles. It increases circulation and provides almost instant aid. Use a generous portion and apply it over the aching area.

4. Get Rid of Nasty Nail Fungus
Rub VapoRub on your toenails if you suspect you have a fungus. Within days, the nail will turn dark—this means the Vick's is killing the fungus. As your toenail grows out, the dark part will grow off and you will have fungus-free feet. Keep applying the ointment over a period of two weeks to fully cleanse nail beds of any remaining bacteria.

5. Stop Your Cat from Scratching
To prevent Miss Kitty from ruining your doors, walls, and windows, apply a small amount of VapoRub to these areas. Cats detest the smell and will steer clear. Vick's can also be applied to your arms and legs if your kitty is prone to scratching you.

6. Pet Pee-Pee Deterrent
If your dog or cat is not yet potty trained, put an open bottle of Vick's on the area he or she likes to mark as their territory. The smell will discourage them from lifting their legs and wetting your rug.

7. Headaches Be Gone
Rub a small amount of Vick's VapoRub on your temples and forehead to help relieve headaches. The mentholated scent will release pressure in your head and instantly
relieve pain.

8. Humidify Your Sleep
Vick's VapoRub can be used in special types of humidifiers and vaporizers. Ensure your humidifier has an aromatherapy compartment before using. The humidifier
will circulate Vick's throughout the air and keep you breathing easy all night long.

9. Paper Cuts and Splinters
To prevent infection and speed up healing time, dab a small amount of Vick's on any small cut or splinter.

10. Ticks and Bugs
If you get bitten by a tick, apply Vick's immediately. The strong odor might help get the critter to release itself and stop bugging you.

11. Reek-free Racehorses
Professional racers smother VapoRub under the nostrils of racehorses on race day. The strong stench deters the stallions from the alluring odor of the female pony and
keeps them focused on the race.

12. Go Away Mosquitoes (love this one!!!)
Apply small dabs of Vick's VapoRub to your skin and clothes and mosquitoes will steer clear. If you do get bitten, apply Vick's to the area and cover it with a Band-Aid to relieve itching.

Glennys Greek Yogurt Bar Review

Today I would like to tell my readers about two great products, from Glennys. I received them today and I am about to taste test each one. But first I want to share a little about the company. Glennys has been making healthy snacks since 1979. This isn't my first time trying their products, but their Greek Yogurt Bars are brand new, and I am honored to try them out. Glennys products are great for everyone, especially those who are working on losing weight, or just eating better. Their products are made for the Heart Healthy ingredients and soy. For the most part the products are 100 calories, some a slightly bit higher, but always come in sensible portions. What's also great is the fact that they are certified Kosher. What ever product you decide to try from Glennys, you will always be guaranteed a great taste.




The first box of bars I received was the Glennys GreekYogurt lovers bar in triple layered strawberry. It was full of all natural fruit and nuts. And guaranteed to make you feel in love at first bite. This gluten free bar is made with all natural ingredients, and is also gluten free. The best part of the bar was the extra layer of strawberry filling.




Next up was the triple layered chocolate coconut lovers bar. Also made from all natural fruit and nuts. It to was gluten free and filled with a extra layer of coconut filling. So yummy.




Each bar is enrobed with a deep rich Greek yogurt. You will find them hard to eat just one. As usual Glennys bars are easy to take with you, in your pocket, purse, or lunch bag, or even to grab on the go.




If your interested in the many products Glennys has to offer, I encourage you to visit their website. www.glennys.com. There is a tone of great products to try, along with a ton of great information.
