5 little happy things for Sick Days.

Hello World,


About a couple of weeks ago, I came down with a serious case of the cold. It had me bed bound for a couple of days. I'm not the type of person to fall ill easily, I would like to say. So, this actually knocked it out of me. Here is five things that kind of made me feel happier during my sick days:

1. BED: We all love our beds, lets face it. Being ill means we can literally stay in our bed for a whole day. Or if you was like me, I actually felt too rough to leave me bed and I really wasn't complaining. In July I brought a new mattress and my bed has become this most greatest thing I own. Add some fluffy pillows and duvet.
   
2. BATH: When you can leave your bed. Having a lovely warm bubble bath can actually clear your head and the general feeling of being clean. Especially after having a fever and having to sweat it out. I don't know what it is, but when I am ill I just feel really dirty and need to have a good soak in a bath with all my favourite bathing products. E.G; Lush Products.
3. BOOK/FILM: I read a lot. I love to read. So when I feel rubbish, reading is actually a struggle for me. Watching films or catching up on old TV/Anime programmes is the next best thing. Escaping to another realm whilst being sick. Nothing better. This time, I binged watch on Fruit Basket, which is the famous Anime based around the Chinese Zodiac signs. 
4. TEA: I am not your typical British Tea drinker. Sorry America, but your thoughts on British people and their love for tea is actually incorrect. I do not like the traditional tea. Hate the stuff. I do however love Green Tea and many Herbal teas. During my time being ill I made some Ginger tea. I basically cut up some Ginger and placed it in my tea infuser and placed it in a cup of boiled water. It tasted really good and made my sick day in bed more lovely.
5. FRUIT: I had no energy to cook.. Eating fruit made me feel so much better on the inside, than eating take away's. No surprise there. So it sounded really bad for me, but eating the odd apple, orange or bananas here and there made me feel so much better. One thing I did learn; Never order Dominos when your sick.
