Kiss that annoying nighttime cough GOODBYE!

MIRACLE IN A JAR!

We’ve all experienced it.. you’ve got a cold, bronchitis, etc.. you may start feeling better, but that nagging dry cough, tickle in your throat keeps you from sleeping at night… not to mention your significant other may be secretly plotting your death from the other side of the bed due to your constant hacking… Well, I have read about this trick several times online over the past year or so, and thought, “No way.. it can’t possibly be that simple.” Well, let me tell you IT WORKS!!!

The trick:

Rub Vicks Vapor Rub on the soles of your feet and then cover with a pair of socks before getting into bed at night.

I was desperate last night.. I grabbed an old bottle of Vicks that I’ve had since Lane was a baby.. didn’t even know if it was expired or not, but it’s all I had. Much to my amazement… I did not cough one single time after slapping this stuff on my feet. Not sure why it works, but it does.

The next time you or your kiddos are coughing at night, try it.. you’ll be a happy camper and so will they.

It’s that simple.. all the years I’ve suffered.. all the sleepless nights.. who knew?

More than ‘The Horse Whisperer’

Reviews

If you don’t know who Buck Brannaman is, you owe it to yourself to find out. He was an adviser and served as inspiration for the movie The Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford. A few days ago while flipping through the channels I came across Buck, a documentary about Buck’s life and philosophies concerning horse training… at least that’s what I thought when I started watching it. About half way through I realized that it is, in fact, SO much more than that. His approach to horse training is promoting praise and cooperation rather than fear and punishment. Those principles have a far greater reach than just training horses..

Buck shares the story of his tragic upbringing involving an abusive father, which he credits for his compassion toward horses and the fear they have when learning to trust their handlers. He travels the country doing ‘clinics’, where he provides hands on training and advice for owners of horses.

After watching this, you will see that most of what he teaches aren’t just lessons in horse training.. they are also life lessons.

“You allow a horse to make mistakes, the horse will learn from mistakes no different than the human. But you can’t get him to where he dreads making mistakes for fear of what’s going to happen after he does.”

– Buck Brannaman

“Horses don’t think the same as humans. Something that’s most unique about the horse, that I love, is not what he possesses but what he doesn’t possess. And that is greed, spite, hate, jealousy, envy, prejudice. The horse doesn’t possess any of those things. If you think about people, the least desirable people to be around usually possess some or all of those things. And the way God made the horse, he left that out.”

The first step is admitting you have a problem… right?

Reviews

Well, I’m taking the first step.. I do in fact have a problem. But what if it’s an addiction you like to have? I absolutely LOVE these books! Back in my days as a hairstylist, a good friend of mine handed me a copy of One for the Money and that’s all it took. Like a drug dealer handing out a sample of their goods knowing you’ll be back for more. Well, fast forward 10 years….. and here I am waiting very impatiently for the 18th book in the Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series to be released next month. I have always enjoyed reading, but I can read these at mach speed… no joke.

What is even more exciting is the January release of One for the Money on the big screen! Oh, how I have hoped and dreamed the day would come…. and I cannot wait. You still have time to jump on the Stephanie Plum band wagon and get few of these under your belt before the movie release in January. So here I am, offering you a sample of the goods… knowing you will soon be back for more. (No, not really… because you have to buy (or borrow) the book yourself.)

(book description from back cover)

Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash–fast–but times are tough, and soon she’s forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family.

Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie’s bail bonding company. She’s got no experience. But that doesn’t matter. Neither does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants to the time Steph hit him with her father’s Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water–wanted for murder.

Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn’t. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she’ll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight–and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man.

I promise once you pick up the first one you’ll be hooked. You’ll read the last page and instantly want more… so my suggestion is be sure and have Two for the Dough on standby. If you’ve read these, feel free to chime in and leave a comment.
