Mix 1 liter of boiling water and 2 tablespoons of vapor rub stirring until combined. Freeze overnight then put one in the bottom of your shower. It’ll steam up and give relief from a cold.

If you’re feeling an unexplained dread or angry, or upset, think about how long it’s been since you took care of your physical needs. A snack, a nap, or a drink of water will often go a long way.

Once a week put together some quick “grab and go” tin foil meals for your whole family. Then on those busy nights, just grab a few and throw them on the grill.
