If you’re winter has been anything like ours, you have battled everything from cold and flu to stomach viruses and pink eye.  It’s been a rough season for illness across the country.  During times like these, it’s nice to find a product that helps to soothe what ails you.

Chloraseptic® Warming Sore Throat Lozenges will soothe your sore throat and warm you from the inside.  The lozenges I was fortunate enough to review were the green tea with real honey flavor.  These are the newest products added to the Chloraseptic® product line.  In addition to the warming ingredients and real honey, the new formula contains added benzocaine, which will help numb the pain and temporarily relieve irritation.

My family really liked the fresh green tea flavor with the added comfort of real honey.  My daughter would describe them as spicy.  I thought the warming sensation was very soothing.  You get, almost, immediate relief with the Chloraseptic® Warming Sore Throat Lozenges.  Each lozenge provides relief even after it has completely dissolved.

“We’re constantly look for innovative, new ways to provide our consumers with quick and soothing relief from sore throat pain.” said Jean Boyko, PhD., Senior Vice President Science & Technology for Prestige Brands, Inc., maker of Chloraseptic® products. “For children with an aversion to medicated products, our new lollipops are the perfect solution and we’re sure they’ll be something both parent and child will agree on.”

The new Chloraseptic® Sore Throat Lollipops are available in a 10-ct package and have a suggested retail price of $3.99 and the new Warming Sore Throat Lozenges are available in an 18-ct package for $3.99.

In addition to the new items, the Chloraseptic® line also includes a variety of other easy-to-use over-the-counter (OTC) products including great-tasting lozenges, throat sprays and pocket packs.  For more information, visit www.chloraseptic.com.

We all have heard of, and probably used, Luden’s® throat drops at some point in our life.  I remember them from my childhood.  Who didn’t love those Wild Cherry Throat Drops that came in the little white box?  I ate them like candy, which is not recommended.

Luden’s® has been soothing sore throats for over 130 years.  There’s no doubt they have been in business for so many years because they produce products that work.  Luden’s products also taste great;  more like candy than medicine!

I was recently given the chance to try Luden’s® Orange Supplement Drops.  These little drops are not only soothing for a sore throat but pack a Vitamin C filled punch!  Made with real orange juice, each drop contains 100% daily value of Vitamin C.  You just can’t beat that!  Just like the rest of Luden’s® products, the Orange Supplement Drops taste great.

My whole family has tried, and loved, these drops!  The kids ask for one every day, when they come home from school.  My husband grabs one as head leaves for work.  I keep them near my computer to grab at my leisure.

In addition to the new orange drops, the line also includes a variety of great-tasting throat drops such as Wild Cherry, Sugar-Free Wild Cherry, Wild Honey and more.  Luden’s® Throat Drops are available in 14-count packs with a suggested retail price of $.99 and bags of individually wrapped drops for $1.79

“We’re confident that anyone with minor throat discomfort is going to love Luden’s Orange Supplement Drops,” said Albert Hwang, VP of Marketing for Luden’s®.  “Luden’s® is all about soothing throat irritations with great-tasting throat drops.  Now we also have Luden’s® Orange supplement drops, with real orange juice and vitamin C.”

For over 130 years Luden’s® throat drops have offered a delicious method for soothing a dry, scratchy throat. For more information on Luden’s® and the full line of products, log onto www.ludens.com.

I haven’t been reading as much as I used too. Which I don’t know why but that makes me sad. But I did get to read this amazing new book by Nelle Davy called Legacy of Eden. It was very well written and just sucked me into the story. I couldn’t see what was on the next page.

Here is the synopsis of the book:

Take part in a different kind of family feud this winter! Rumors, secrets and lies flourish in Nelle Davy’s THE LEGACY OF EDEN. She rips the covers off of an unassuming Iowa family’s quiet existence–showing the dark underbelly of one Midwestern farm town over the course of 50 tumultuous years.

Unfettered ambition, familial schisms and dark secrets abound in THE LEGACY OF EDEN, when New York sculptor Meredith recounts her family’s deeply troubled and tragic history as she prepares to return to the once-grand estate she fled almost two decades earlier. Informed that Aurelia, the once-grand Iowa estate and farm where she was raised, is to be sold at auction to settle her late cousin’s debts, Meredith resolves to return to the Hathaway family homestead and collect the few possessions that belonged to her parents–bringing up long-repressed memories in the process.

I was really impressed with the style of writing. It just drew you into the novel and well didn’t let you go. It was unlike a book I’ve ever read before. Maybe just the setting of the novel. How we were looking back. There were references over and over again to something bad happening through the book. But you don’t find out until the end. You can really sympathize with the characters.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

Before that I was like any artist-cum-waitress, come every and any menial job you could find. I don’t earn much but I get by and as I fingered through the array of bills and fliers, the stains of my morning’s endeavors trailed across the envelopes until I came across a stark white one, different from the others in its weight and the crispness of its paper. It bore the mark of an eminent law firm whose name seemed familiar to me, but I thought nothing of it and slit open the mouth of the letter with my finger. Why wouldn’t I? I had forgotten so much—or at least I had pretended to.

By the time I had finished reading it, the damage had been done. I looked up from the typescript to find my apartment an alien place. Sunlight was streaming through the windows and reflecting off of the counter surfaces and wood floors. I could feel a prickle of sweat on the back of my neck and my mouth tasted hot and sweet with what I realized was panic.

I rushed to the bathroom and was violently sick. To check out the next part of the book go to: http://bookslikebreathing.blogspot.com/

Barry Manilow is still making the ladies swoon and he’s coming to a town near you! He’s traveling all around the US in 2012 and hopefully he is making a stop where you live!

Now he is a little bit before my time, but I know my MIL loves him. Maybe I will surprise her and get her 2 tickets so she can take a friend with her to get serenaded too.

I have found out he will be in my area actually next week at Radio City Music Hall on February 10th and a few days after that! I even saw one of my Highschool classmates putting out a call to see if anyone wanted to go see his Valentine’s Day show. I’m sure she is going to have a blast seeing it!
