It started a few years ago. I would sit out on my lawn chair watching my son at soccer practice and start itching. I would stand up and feel like there were lumps on the bottom of my feet that itched and hurt to walk. As time went on the rashes would appear in the cold on any exposed skin of mine. If it is cold and wet outside I am literally uncomfortable in my own skin. My Doctor told me it was cold urticaria and it can stay forever or go away. They really do not know.

You cannot prevent the itchy rashes that sometimes hurt from appearing, all you can do is manage the itch. This requires certain medication and lots of layers and blankets on hand if I am going to be outdoors or in the cold. Forget polar plunges (not my thing anyway), but those can bring dangerous whole body reactions.

Until I found my favorite leggings and hats from Heat Holders, I would feel like a big marshmallow under all of my layers of shirts, sweaters and heavy coats.

For my past birthday my Mom had gifted me some Heat Holder tops and gloves she found on Amazon. It was so fantastic the day of my son’s next game when I had these on hand and they kept me warm enough I could wear less layers. When I was just approached to promote Heat Holders in this post, I was more than happy to help them out and even acquired more items that will be great as fall comes and soccer begins again.

Once the hives hit, managing cold urticaria sometimes requires taking an antihistamine and even having to go watch him from my car with the heat on. I hate those bad days when I have to pack up and watch from a distance, then I see him looking for me on the sidelines and when I am not there his eyes wander to the parking lot towards my car. Since I have my Heat Holders I can tell you that I have been able to get through entire games when I have my top and leggings on under a coat and the hat, socks and gloves as well. I even have a heated neck wrap that is amazing on the bitter days.

Heat Holders was originally created to be the warmest sock, then added other products to their line. Heat Holders uses a specially developed thermal yarn that provides high performance insulation against cold with superior moisture breathing abilities. Step 2 is their innovative knitting technology that produces unique, extra long looped cushion pile to hold in more warm air, increasing the TOG rating. Last of the process is the expert brushing process maximizes the amount of warm air held inside each sock for total warmth and all-day comfort.

Whether you are trying to stay comfortable in your own skin and avoid hives or just dislike the cold, Heat Holders is so fantastic to have on hand for outdoor sporting events, cold camping nights, outdoor work and more! Find at retailers such as Amazon and at HeatHolders.com

As we have raised our boys, we have been through the evolution of bandaid designs and styles. One of our boys could walk around with blood oozing and not be bothered or even cover it up. Our youngest will see a small scratch and want creams and bandages to cover his “bad wound”. Whether it was a bandaid for a real cut or bandaid for comfort, the flexible bandages with fun designs were always the hit!

Welly not only has assorted flexible bandages in pretty colors and designs, but you can also get other first aid tools in colorful tins for better storage. No more squished boxes with bandaids spilling out! I love this purple leaf design (much better than sporting a Transformer on my finger at age 42)!

The Welly first aid bins are stackable and available in all the sets you need to finally revamp that first aid cabinet in your home, office or RV. I have some tins of items in my home and others in the RV for camping. They fit on narrow shelves and stack well.

Some of the tins have all you needs for cut or blisters and even larger wounds with scissors and gauze packs. Find all the available sets at GetWelly.com

About 1 1/2 years ago I was introduced to my first migraine. I remember that before I had that migraine I would tell people I have had a migraine before. I will get cluster headaches from time to time and sometimes those headaches are real bad that I thought the bad ones were a migraine…until I had a real migraine. Now I know what one actually feels like and I started having them every few weeks.

I went in to the Doctors which with my good health I really ever go in for yearly physicals and after blood tests and hormone tests the only thing off was my BP. My Blood Pressure was 151/110!! I could have been walking around that high for months as my last Doctor visit was 8 months prior. We did blood work anyway to make sure there wasn’t anything else and all was normal so I am blessed with my Grandmother’s and Father’s high BP genes and an explanation for getting headaches and migraines. Now that I manage my BP I have not had but a minor headache maybe once a month if that.

When you have a migraine you know that there is nothing worse in that moment. All you desire to do is crawl up in a dark and quiet place and try to sleep despite the pounding head. Add in some nausea and neck stiffness and you will do anything for relief.

The Migraine Stick from Migrastil is the natural migraine support you need when you feel a migraine coming on. Simply apply to temples and neck (avoid the eyes) and in about 5-10 minutes when you feel that cold, tingly feeling you know it is working away. I read the reviews on the product in multiple sources and they sound fantastic!

This is such a great addition to your migraine relief remedies and it is so easy to take on-the-go and start supporting the migraine relief no matter where you are. It contains only 4 plant-based ingredients: peppermint essential oil, lavender essential oil, spearmint essential oil and Fractioned Coconut Oil (helps this stick to be less greasy when applied).
