My Sick Day Essentials!!!


Hey guys!

So right now, I am lying in bed.  I'm kinda sick today so I thought I would write a post/tutorial on what I do when I'm sick and the essentials I need!

Sick Day Essentials!!!

Whenever I'm feeling under the weather or sick, rest is the most important thing!  I try to sleep for at least 2 hours at anytime in the day.  Rest helps fight the cold and repairs your body!

I always have some magazines to look through, I love the Girlfriend, Dolly and Teen Vogue mags!  I always keep a packet of cough lollies next to my bed for when my throat starts hurting.  I keep my laptop with me always and a snack next to me so I don't have to get up if I'm hungry!

Whenever I'm sick, I love watching movies that will cheer me up!  So my sick day movie must-haves are; Monters Inc., Finding Nemo, Pitch Perfect, Grown Ups, Wild Child and The Hunger Games!

I love to snack on biscuits or anything warm when I'm sick.  Usually I will make some 2 minute noodles or soup to warm my tummy and then I will have a hot chocolate or tea.  These always leave me feeling better and filled up!

I usually take 2 doses of Panadol when I'm sick, just because it makes me feel much better and stops my head from hurting!  It is important to read the back of the packet before you drink any medicine and make sure it isn't out of date!  Take the right dosage for your age and make sure you wait at least 4-6 hours before having some more medicine!

If I Have To Go Somewhere When I'm Sick!

So, I saw this great video on macbarbie07 about sick/lazy day essentials and what she wore when she went out!  If your sick and you have to go somewhere, you want to look presentable and not like a zombie.  It is important to be comfortable too!

If I just have to drive somewhere with my parents and I'm not getting out of the car, I will usually just wear my PJ's or my stitch onesie with my Ugg boots because it is very warm and comfortable and you don't have to worry about getting unchanged when you get back home!

If I have to get out of the car and go somewhere whilst still being sick, I try to go for something casual but comfy!  I will usually wear a jumper or sweater with leggings or jeans and my Ugg boots or slip on sandals!  I either wear my hair in a messy bun or just spray some dry shampoo in my hair, brush it out and leave it out!  I like to wear very light make-up, so usually I will wear the make-up that Beth (macbarbie07 on YouTube!) wears when she is sick!  Basically it's just BB Cream, concealer, mascara, etc. I will have a link to her channel so you can check out all of her fab vids!

So I hope this helped!  If you're sick like me, I hope you feel better soon!  Just follow this sick day guide and you will be perfect in no time!
