Cold busters!

It's that time of the year again! The seasons are changing, autumn is at our doorstep and that means that the common cold is often not too far off. The sneezing, the wheezing, the throbbing headaches and uncomfortable fevers... The whole thing is not very pleasant in the slightest, chica!

So... I present you with my cold busters! Five ways to beat the runny, snotty, red and bunged up nose!

Dose up!

In the winter and indeed autumn months, it's all about Vitamin C! Whether chewed, swallowed or dissolved in water and drunk, make sure you take it on a daily basis to ensure you're immune system stays fit, healthy and happy!

You are what you eat 

Especially when there's a lack of heat (ha ha, I'm a poet and I didn't know it!). In these cold, dark times it's even more important to eat healthily and generally have a well-balanced diet. Try and stay away from sugary snacks and opt for fruit instead...  You will notice the difference chica, I promise!

Rug up!

It's essential that you dress for the weather! Think layers - stock up on cardi's and scarves, tights and hats! If you need some ideas, check out Beauty-licious, it's full of ace accessories that will keep you warm and protected against the icy cold, not to mention looking tres cute (natch)! 

Hygienic hygiene!  

You can do simple common sense things like:

- Washing your hands regularly and thoroughly.

- Covering your mouth when coughing and sneezing.

- Getting rid of used tissues.

- Avoiding nail biting.

- Avoiding rubbing your eyes with dirty hands.

Sleep deep to keep on the leap!

Not only will sleep keep you beautiful, it will keep you healthy! You need at least 8 hours a night - I promise you, during this cold and dreary time of the year it will do wonders for how you feel... Try reading a book before turning our your lights, it'll help you drift into a peaceful and restful doze! 

Let's remember though, that at the end of the day, although it's getting colder by the minute, it's getting closer to that very very special time... Here's a clue...
