Ugh! I'm getting sick.
Been kind of achy all day, and couldn't figure out why. Now my head is starting to hurt and I'm getting all stuffy. *sniff*

I hate being sick! x(

9. Now, close your eyes and listen to the splashing water.
Do you hear birds?

6. Had chicken soup for lunch, and I have plenty of orange juice.
Slept well last night, so I guess I need more "feeling icky" hugs. :hug:

11. Get thee to a natural foods store.
Buy Source Naturals Wellness and New Chapter's Host Defense (liquid, preferably). Take it according to the label. Trust me on this, that stuff does wonders for boosting your immune system. It definitely cuts down on the length of illness and usually keeps me from actually fully coming down with anything.

I used to be a skeptic about it, but when I was working at the health food store, if one employee got sick, they made us all start taking it. It really does work!

20. Echinacea is great for staving off colds
Echinacea totally works, but the only "catch" is that you need to take it as soon as you get the first sign that a cold is coming on. I take it a few times thereafter too. I get the liquid form and just put an almost dropperful in about a shot-size amount of juice and slam it. Then I drink some more juice to get the taste out of my mouth. :)

21. I've heard that echinacea is good
Though it sounds like the taste isn't!
