This is rather off topic, as they say, but I can't seem to think of anything else right now, as I have the flu. (When it pours...) It's strange to have the flu when it's summer, particularly on muggy days like this. There is less alternation between fevers and chills, but when you have them, it's really queer. Especially chills. There's no way that it's cold enough to be shivering... except, there you are.For my money, there's nothing better than Tylenol. There are cold/flu tablets, for day and night, and the new Cool Burst syrup, though nasty to taste, works wonders. To decongest, Sudafed is the best. I'm also a fan of Nyquil, but it's more knock-you-out medicine. I think a humidifier is a grand thing, too, but rather unnecessary in this humidity.
What has to do with beauty? Nothing really, except perhaps in the larger sense of "health and beauty". I can't recommend that you pluck you eyebrows when you're ill. Somehow, the pain is magnified. A bath might help with congestion, but don't do it if you're high fever and severe chills. Better to be dirty than sick.
As a side note: I've started updating my posts to include photos, more or less. For a little visual distraction.
