 I went to sleep last night with all good intentions of getting lots done around the house while my man was away doing a day's work. It's not often I have the opportunity to be left home alone so that I can motor away at my own pace, cleaning, tidying and organising, so I wanted to make the most of it!
I got up and fought to get motivated. No energy at all. I know I'm coming down with somethi... |

 I am very sorry to hear that cher, I don't know how I'd live without chocolate. I can abstain from eating it most of the time, except for once a month....... You know what I mean!
As for what I love but can't eat - Pork! I'm pork-intolerant. Not a happy bunny as I love my rashers and pork chops as well as my pepperoni on my pizza. |

 Coffee is definitely one of my vices. I [b]need[/b] coffee in the morning. I drink a minimum of three cups a day! Smoking, that's another one, I'm with you there. To add to that, I also bite my nails and the skin around my nails.
I'd love to give up all three of those. Some day.
I've stopped biting my nails before, but started again during a stressful time. I'm currently working on stoppi... |

 I take Echinacea all winter as I've a pretty low immune system, so I have the added advantage of always having it to hand and knowing where it is... Until that is, I run out and forget to buy another bottle of drops.
For me, the drops are 10x more efficient than the capsules, but everyone is different!
I hope that you're starting to feel better. |

 Aside from brushing, flossing and using mouthwash - you can of course use baking soda, but use it sparingly and infrequently with your regular toothpaste.
You can also avoid staining foods - red wine, tea, coffee and of course smoking.
Teeth should not be white-white, they should be an off-white. Pure white teeth are not healthy teeth - or so they say... |

 Honey has great antibacterial properties, which is why it helps with acne. Using a used green tea bag on your face (allow it to cool first!) is also great for some acne sufferers. Make some tea, leave the bag to cool. Cleanse your face, rub the cooled, wet teabag all over your face, allow to dry, then moisturise. I've also found that it really works too - that and it's quick and easy and the te... |

Thanks rewardsinlife for the advice. I've had a few days now and I'm starting to come back to myself. I think I was just a little run down but my energy levels are now nearly back to normal, it seems that I may just have needed a little break from the normal energy levels I put into my day! |

Thanks 011baby, I'll bear that in mind next time I'm feeling like that, though hopefully it will be quite some time before I feel that lethargic again, it was awful! |

Aw bless, you poor thing LilyLoretta. I can sympathise. I have had the onset of a cold for a few days now, but I don't like to let it get a hold or last too long, so I always go heavy on the Echinacea drops. I tend to get a bottle of water, dump about 40 drops into it and gradually drink it over the day. I also of course take a vitamin supplement to help my body to cope with the cold.
