I Love Nasal Spray!

We are heading out of cold and flu season and are getting ready for the warm weather of summer...finally! While I love winter, I do welcome the warmer weather simply because it means my children can spend some more time outdoors playing and getting fresh air. This past winter was wonderful for us in terms of avoiding colds and flu bugs (we had minor ones, but nothing major), but when I was sick, I found myself addicted to afrin. Because I am a breastfeeding mom, I can take NOTHING when it comes to medications for colds and flus, which stinks. I am fighting a mild cold right now and hubby bought some cold medicine yesterday. However, I can't take any of it. Isaac is not nursing as much but I still don't want to take anything that would get in my milk and be transferred to him.

So, the reason I love using Afrin is because it works. I had never used any type of nasal spray prior to "meeting" Afrin but once I tried it, I was hooked. Not only did it clear up my congestion but it also kept the congestion away for 12+ hours. This is something I had NEVER experienced even with cold medicine. I loved the fact that I took something for a stuffy nose and it kept the stuffy nose "un-stuffed" for a long time.

Now that we are heading into summer that means that the seasonal allergies will be kicking in and once again, my nose may be getting stuffy. When we moved to this house I made sure the Afrin was in an easy place to find so that if I needed it, it would be quickly available. Just know that if you use this nasal spray you will need a box of tissues handy. It really clears you out!!

Afrin has become a huge favorite for me and I always tell everyone about it. My husband found it to be too strong for him but because I am so limited as to what I can use, I think it works great for me! Try it out sometime...I am sure you will be impressed with it's capabilities!

This is a sponsored post however, all thoughts and ideas are 100% mine.

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

NOVICA Review

Do you like handmade things? I do! I think it really showcases someones creativity and adds some sentiment to the item. When I give gifts, it means sooo much more to the recipient if the gift was handmade. When travelling internationally while I was in high school, I loved collecting handmade things. From the Dominican Republic, I snagged a GORGEOUS painting as well as some lovely necklaces. From Spain, I brought home a stunning sweater that was burgundy and had silver shimmers throughout the material. So, I do have an appreciation for handmade things...especially from other countries . This is where my next company comes in! Meet NOVICA! I first saw NOVICA on another blog that was conducting a review and I was really impressed by this company. NOVICA's goal is to give world-wide artisans an opportunity to expand and grow their artistic talents through the internet's community of consumers. Here is their mission statement: We want to give artists and artisans aro...
