Iโm sharing Zicamยฎ in my life as part of a sponsored series with Socialstars!
Do you need to shorten a cold? There’s a way, I know first hand. I’m back from the craft convention, where among all the glitter and glue – there was also a lot of sneezing and sniffling. It seemed like every other person was battling a cold. The good thing was most people resisted giving hugs and shaking hands, they gave good warning, which was awesome.
I do ERRRYTHANG I can to shorten a cold. Especiallyย these days when my travel schedule is revving up with all kinds of cool events. From hosting movie screenings to giving keynotes to hosting workshops to hanging out with friends and family – there is a lot on deck.
Plus, I’m going full steam on drawing, sketching and planning new tutorials and illustrations (see the top picture!). But what happens when you can’t avoid it? If you are like me, you fight it with all your will, so you can get back to crafting and doing the things you love!

My first and foremost suggestion is to stock up on your Zicamยฎ Cold Remedy products. They are safe and effective, non-drowsy and non-habit forming. The packaging is super convenient and small so they are easy to take on theย go. I’m very picky about taking anything. I have a clean bill of health from theย doctor and aside from daily vitamins and the occasional pain reliever, I don’t take anything.ย
This is something I did before I even signed up for this campaign. My favorite is the Zicamยฎ RapidMeltsยฎ . Itย comes in a mix of threeย flavors: Citrus (my fave); Cherry; and Lemon-Lime with Echinacea.
As soon as you feel it hit – the achiness, the tickle in your throat – pop one of these babies on your tongue and let it dissolve. Then do it again every three hours.ย Zicamยฎ Cold Remedy products are aย homeopathic formula, which is why I feel confident and comfortable using them.
Here are some other ways to fight a cold!
Sleep. Dial back on everything and let your body recharge.
Be positive. Think of yourself feeling better, imagine that while you are sleeping, your body is working like a machine to heal.
Drink lots of water. You are going to feel dehydrated, so replenish!
Let someone pamper you. Aska friend or family member to make some soup. It’s not just about the soup – it’s about the love that goes into the process!
Stock up on yourย Zicamยฎ.ย For reals! You can find it at most grocery stores and anywhere where cold products are sold. I don’t wait untilย I have the sniffles, I buy myย Zicamยฎ Citrus RapidMeltsยฎ ahead of time, so I have it at my fingertips when I need it.
Who doesn’t want a cold shortening aid? You want to “get your better backโข” ย with exciting daily adventures! Here’s what I have coming up – this is the ceramic heart workshop I’m teaching Saturday! See why I want to fight a cold? There’s crafting to do!

The Crafty Chica Cruise is totally awesome. If you’ve never been on the cruise or if you’re a total cruiser, this is a blast.
Lots of crafting and you still have some time to do other fun stuff.
We did the cruise last year.
Like I need another excuse to play with Crafty Chica stuff! Woo Hoo!!
A cruise would be just the thing to help bring out my inner glitter queen. Can we cover the boat in glitter?
I’ve never been on a cruise…nor a crafting retreat. I am going to enter your contest for sure! Thank you for this opportunity!
Also — thanks for having your line available at Amazon. We don’t have your line here in Wisconsin – but I’m working on it!
Looking forward to starting my work of art!
Thanks again!

Rapid melts are awesome! They work quick and take care if business!
I always make sure to have Zicam Citrus Rapidsmelts on hand to fight off the sniffles so I can get all my crafts done.
