Breathe Right strips really work!

It seems like every time I travel somewhere, I come home and get sick immediately thereafter. Thankfully, this time it was only a mild cold, but it was enough to make me tired and grumpy while going to my mom's for Christmas.

Because I was stuffy and having trouble sleeping, I tried wearing a Breathe Right nose strip to sleep before we left. I still didn't sleep great, but I woke up and was able to get ready to leave and felt okay. Before we left, I took off the strip, though. About two hours later, in the car, I was terribly grumpy and tired. I realized that I had been feeling progressively worse since removing the strip from my nose that morning. I went into my bag in the car and got another, and presto!, I felt better almost immediately.

As the weekend wore on, I progressively got over wearing the things in public, because the difference in how I felt was so extreme. I was able to work almost constantly on replacing my mom's kitchen floor this weekend, despite having a cold. I didn't have to remember to take medicine. I wasn't drowsy from decongestants. I could breathe. I'm totally sold - these will be the first thing I reach for to treat a stuffy nose from now on!
