nasal cleansing.

So, what did you do last night?
At our house we had a little nasal cleansing.
One of us has an issue with mucus. One of us was watching Oprah a long time ago and heard Dr. Oz talk about the life changing "Nasal Bidet- Neti". One of us bought one at a health food store a couple of months ago CERTAIN it would be life changing. One of us wanted to return it and get back the $13.99 to spend on Christmas... but that was before we tried it. (You can buy your own here for $24). One of us extracted a nose cleansing commitment that one of us has tried for several days to avoid. One of us was so excited about taking pictures. One of us was worried that the pictures may find their way all over the Internet, or that a certain un-named friend's husband who lives in 'bama, may happen to glance at a nasal cleansing and see it as a sign of weakness. One of us reminded another one of us that trying new things, caring for our bodies, doing things that we may not have ever thought we would try, is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. One of us was a nasal cleansing natural. One of us had some minor choking, drainage issues that were shortly overcome with proper head alignment.
Both of us laughed.
Both of us cleansed.
Both of us went to bed singing, "I can smell clearly now, the rain is gone..."
Let us bond through Neti cleansing more often...

  3. I got my mom a "snot pot" off Etsy last year for Christmas!
    Never used one myself though.
    Does it sting? I'm not weak.
