Recessionista's Fabuless Pick of the Week: Aquaphor

For the past week, I have been suffering with the WORST COLD EVER. At the apex of my illness, I was going through a box of tissues per day - and my poor nose was paying the ultimate price. Last Thursday, the skin around my nostrils was cracking and bleeding so badly that it was an exercise in agony every time I blew my nose. My schnoz was this close to Michael Jackson territory; I was just waiting for it to fall off altogether.

But then, a package arrived in the mail and I was introduced to my new BFF, Aquaphor. This miracle salve nursed my nose back to health. I told my cold, "You wanna be startin' somethin'? Bring it...I've got Aquaphor!"

I don't know what took me so long to get acquainted with Aquaphor. But I'll tell you this: I'll never be without it.
