I know being sick is one of the worst feelings ever, and this past week I've been dealing with a bad head cold but hopefully my essentials can make your next day in bed a little bit better.
When your sick the last thing you want to do is put on a couture dress and blazer. Well at least I don't, my number one thing is to be comfortable. My outfit would definitely consist of leggings and fuzzy socks. These leggings are from Nordstrom BP, and these fuzzy socks are actually from the dollar section at Target.
Another thing you don't want to worry about is putting on a full face of makeup, but you also don't want to look how you feel on the inside. What I like to stick with is moisturizer because your skin can get really dry when you're sick. A tinted lip balm because it will not only moisturize your lips but add a little pop of color to them. Last but not least, mascara because it always makes me feel awake and happy. My moisturizer is from Nuetregena, my lip balm is the Maybelline baby lips in the color "cherry me", and my mascara is the Covergirl clump crusher mascara. I usually go with no makeup when I'm sick or lazy to let my skin breathe but these things will make you look a little more put together if you have to go somewhere that day.
I also recommend soup and hot drinks, these always make me feel warm and cozy and sooth my throat. This is my favorite soup- Lipton Extra Noodle (add carrots!). And this cute mug is from Kate Spade and it is filled with lemon water. Which is a mix of hot water, lemon juice, and a little sprinkle of sugar. My mom always makes this for me when I'm sick and it makes me feel much better. Plus it also one of my favorite drinks to warm me up on winter nights. And the last few things are to keep me company. Besides the TV, I like to have my iPad, my phone, and issues of my favorite magazines.
I hope these tips and tricks help you next time you are home sick. Feel better!
