Two Weeks from H*ell

So, I know my last post was a week ago but lots of work and tissues have been piling up. Last weekend, I was sidelined with the school flu (for those who know, it's been called the "GSPP Flu"). Although, I'm pretty sure I didn't get the full blown flu, I ended up sleeping Sunday and Monday in an effor to get well which worked for the most part except for the lingering sniffles and cough that have plagued me all freakin' week. On Friday, I noticed that my head was really "stuffed" up and today, I had major headaches. My self-diagnosis = sinus infection! Gross.

On top of that, I have two midterms, one paper, one problem set, and a career fair all next week. Exciting. I better be feelin' better by Monday or I'm in trouble.

Enough of me describing how unpretty I feel. So, when I went to Hawaii one year ago, I picked up this stuff called "Surfer's Salve." This stuff is amazing! It soothes and moisturizes, almost as good as tiger balm. I have been diligently applying it to my nose holes, the area around my nose holes, and my lips in order to keep my nose and lips from chapping from all that blowing!


It's made by Island Soap and Candle Works. They have great soap as well. I was able to purchase it from one of their shops on the island of Kauai. Apparently, I read in InStyle magazine that you can use it on your hair as well, kind of like Jonathan's Dirt. Island Soap does mailorder and you might be able to find some of their products on the West coast in some drug stores. I know I've seen them around. East Coasters might have more of a problem but you never know. Online shopping is pretty fun anyways.

Happy Surfing and stay healthy.
