Hello Sweeties!
Don`t you just detest the strange change of weather we have been having the past few months? There are days where there is the bright warm sunshine then by mid afternoon sweltering heat and early evening heavy rains! The sudden change in temperature along with getting wet by a sudden down pour may lead to a bout of cough, cold or heaven forbid a flu!
I always make sure my beasties take their vitamins but whenever a cold or flu would strike it is best to be prepared.
This is one reason why I was so happy that P & G and Vicks sent these to my door. As a child of the 80s. My Mom`s medicine cabinet was always well stocked with Vicks VapoRub. I am sure at one point a parent, grandparent or guardian has applied or massaged this mentholated tropical ointment on your chest, back or throat, to unclogged noses to help us sleep better at night when we are feeling sick. Although memories of being ill is never good, I always remember the feeling of worry, concern, care and love of my own Mum whenever I see a jar of Vicks VapoRub and because of this I too always have a jar of it handy at home.
Do you want to find out what is in the box?
The products sent by Vicks: Vicks Vaporub – Camphor, Menthol Eucalyptus Oil Cold Vaporising Ointment, VapoCool Candies in 3 flavors- Dual Action Cools & Refreshes Soothes Instantly Original Menthol, Candy Butter Menthol Candy (this one’s Jarod`s favorite) Cooling Peppermint (my personal favorite), Vicks Formula 44 Cough Control Antitussive Syrup, Vicks Tea (I am uncertain if this is available in stores) Vicks Inhaler – Camphor + Menthol (Raffy called dibs on this one and I never saw it again)
I never really thought about what to arm myself in case my beasties or myself ever get sick. I guess it is automatic. I really appreciate this Vicks Care Pack. Other than the awesome Vicks products, they also sent these thoughtful additions a water bottle, nice thick socks (I rub my son`s feet with Vicks then put socks over them and he sleeps so much better when he has a cough or cold), a microwavable heating pad, a digital thermometer and a cooling eye mask. I am certain that with these items my family and I are armed to conquer colds, cough or flu.
