Mucinex Review

11:40 PM Review

Mucinex

I had a cold for a couple of days and my son as well. We took him to the doctor, and the doc recommend Mucinex . I decided to buy the same for myself.

I had heard wonders about Mucinex , which I would expect at the steeper price tag than its over the counter competitors.

The results were not what I expected. I expected my cold to disappear, not to worsen. I use public transportation to get to work and work in an office. Unfortunately, the day after taking Mucinex I noticed that I was coughing a LOT and very frequently. It was annoying others in the office (and drove me crazy). For the next 2 days I had a persistent cough: a thin, watery cough that made me sound like I had contagious cold. I was definitely getting the “stay away from me looks” in the train. These side effects were very difficult to deal with. I no longer feel congested, but the phlegm is out of control.

Therefore I would say that while this product did loosen mucus and help me get rid of it, the difficult and annoying side effects were very undesirable. I would not use the product again.

Pamper me event : Satya Jewerly

11:33 PM Review

Nearly two months ago a close friend if mine delivered her baby.

The baby was delivered at Roosevelt hospital near Columbus circle. I ran to the Wholesfood in the mall to pick up some flowers. One way out I saw this small jewelry shop. The window display had too many pieces that I liked, so I knew it wasn't going to be a two minute browsing session.

Today at The Pamper me event I got to see the jewelry from Satya again!!! ( I didn't know the brand name until today).

Their pieces are genuinely exquisite.

It doesn't matter how much I have on my plate, every year I have made it my year to participate in volunteer events, walks and donate to a cause. Satya is my kind of company, as they place a heavy emphasis on Philantropy.

"Our Mantra: Beautiful, meaningful, inspiring. We design so that anyone can view our collection and piece of jewelry that warms their heart because it is so innately true to them. Satya means truth in Sanskrit, and it is the guiding force behind all 'we do. We make jewelry of all truths and donate to children’s charities throughout the world.
