Sniffles and Burns
Written on Saturday, June 21st, 2008 @ 10:17pm

A few weeks ago I watched an episode of Rachel Ray where she had Ricki Lake and celebrity nutritionist Christine Avanti talk about weight loss. Christine recommended three different supplements, which I have recently began trying in addition to my extra 500mg of Vitamin-C, Garlic, Vitamin B-12, and Echinacea (every other week).

I don’t know if I picked something up from school or my immune system couldn’t handle the heavy load or it’s because I’m flooding my body with vitamins. Whatever it is, I’ve had the sniffles throughout the week and into this weekend causing me to feel like poo today. Add hot weather and its enough to make me miserable.

Today I also got a little too much sun despite using sunscreen. I got major burns on my back, shoulders, and knees. Needless to say I am not feeling too great. Still, I did enjoy Joshua’s family reunion - the source of the sun, haha. The party was at one of his uncle’s houses by the river and since they have private access to the river, I spent most of my time there where it was cool.

I’m home now nursing the burn with aloe and taking meds for the “cold” or whatever it is I have. I’m just hoping I’ll feel better come Monday.

I saw that episode awhile back. I think I need to take some vitamins or supplements or something too. I think I’ll ask my doctor about it next time I go. I know I probably don’t get everything I need since I am such a picky eater. :P

Sorry you’re burnt. :( I either burn or stay pale. I don’t really tan. :P

First day of summer yesterday, so I am glad to hear that you spent it outside. Sorry about the burn though. Those suck. I hope that the vitamins weren’t what were making you not feel good. Hopefully you just caught something because then it will go away soon! :s

Owwwww, I hate sunburns. :( I hope yours goes away soon! It’s times like that where I wish I could fill a bathtub with aloe vera and just lay in it for hours. XD

I remember you had asked me on one of my blog entries about whether I take vitamins….I have the One-A-Day womens but I’m really bad about remembering to take them. XD I really should, I know…

Oh dear, I’m sorry about your sunburn! :( Have you tried fresh aloe vera? Its got magic healing powers against sunburn.

I don’t get to watch Rachel Ray’s show all the time, but when I do, it’s always very interesting :) I used to take Centrum everyday until I read on the news one time how you’re only supposed to take it once a week or something, but you really can’t go wrong with Vitamin C :)
