I LOVE VICKS

The bad news: I have really bad cough and colds.

The good news: I've never sounded sexier. 

(The other bad news: I have no one to talk to sexy to.)

I have been sick since Sunday and on Monday I woke up with no voice.  It was so bad that I had to send this email to my client who I had a concall with that morning:

I left work early on Monday because I felt awful and when I got home, I remembered a forwarded email my mom sent me last year about rubbing the soles of your feet with Vicks Vaporub and then covering them with socks  for cough relief.  I was a little skeptical but hey, if it will help me sleep thought the night, it's probably worth a shot.

Before bed, I drank some Nyquil, rubbed vicks on feet, put on my socks and rubbed some more vicks on my chest and went to bed.  I slept like a baby.  Did it really work? Maybe it was the Nyquil that made me doze off.

So I tried it again last night, sans Nyquil.

I still slept like a bear.  It works, guys.  And I did some googling this morning and it worked for other people, too. Yay for Vicks!

Here are 12 other surprising uses for Vicks Vaporub.

Now, if I could just get better by Friday because I am running in Rip The Road's 3rd leg on Sunday.

Enjoy the rest of the week!
