"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young, and hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old...We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."

Homemade Vicks Shower Disks

Frugal by Choice, Cheap by Necessity gives a recipe to make homemade vicks shower disks. I think this is amazing, especially since flu season is coming up. What a great way to start the morning off feeling fresh and a little less stuffy. :) Enjoy.

Ingredients:

Directions:
 
  1. Add baking soda to a mixing bowl. Updated to add - I don't really measure. Maybe 2-3 cups?
  2. Slowly add water until you've made a thick paste. Updated to add: add just a little water a time. You'll want the mix to feel like putty.
  3. Add 15 drops of each essential oil.
  4. Spoon in to a muffin tin, and let sit out for 12-18 hours. You can also bake these, but I just left them out overnight.
  5. Pop these suckers out of the paper liner, plop it in your shower, and let the essential oils steam away your stuffy nose. Edited to add: put them anywhere on the floor of the shower; it doesn't matter where!
