Sweet remedies against the flu

 
This week I've finally started a new job and...guess what??
I got sick!!! I couldn't believe it!!!
Cough, cold, sore throat and a slight fever..on Wednesday evening I was completely destroyed..but I couldn't miss a day of work!!!
 
Here are some tricks that have helped me get to Friday night:
- First of all this delicious yogurt cake..something sweet and light to begin a day of work, with a cup of green tea.
 

- Makeup: after a sleepless night to blow the nose and cough a "morning restoration"  becomes necessary in order to be presentable in the office.
It's important to keep soft the skin of the face with a moisturizer cream and use soft handkerchiefs to avoid unsightly redness.

-Go to bed early with a cup of hot chamomile tea, a good book (at the moment I'm reading "Memoirs of a Geisha" ) and thyme cream that has to be spread on the chest and under the feet ... it seems unbelievable but it helps!!!
 
 
And last but not least: the company of my two favorite darlings .. Cloe and Minù!!!
 

Love
xoxo
