Reminder that washing hands can prevent the spread of germs, sickness, & disease

Image
 I had to take a picture of this when I was in the bathroom at the Fred Meyer in Tacoma, WA: This is a picture of the travel soap that I carry in my wallet/purse (see picture below). It's compact & perfect to use when you're at places that are out of soap.  See the picture (below) of what the soap looks like (when I open the container of the travel soap):

Back to school drive at Fred Meyer in Spanaway, WA is accepting hand sanitizer

Image
  Photographed (above) is the back to school drive box in the front entrance of their store (right in front of the cash registers toward the right when you enter the store). My visit to that store (the visit before my last), I donated hand sanitizer that I got from the Dollar Tree in Graham, WA (photographed below). The hand sanitizer is good quality (70% alcohol or higher is your goal for using any hand sanitizer) which you can see it says that on the outside of the packaging (see photo below).  It's also nice that it comes with a little lanyard clip for a student to clip on their back pack or keys. Obviously I want to be donating/want others to be donating hand sanitizer for this drive because let's keep the kids & our community sick free. 🙂

The Breather

Image
The Breather (BELOW) is a drug free way to exercise your lungs (I used several times a day when recovering from Covid). It has different levels of resistance that you work up to (similar to how one would when using hand weights when exercising). You can adjust the "inhale" and "exhale" resistance levels on the device to your comfort level. You have to wash the Breather daily with soap and water (I used dish soap & dish sponge) and you can wipe it down (however, letting it air dry like you would dishes, for example) lets it dry in the interior so when you use next you won't be sucking in water drops (when inhaling in & out). I could notice the difference when it was still wet on the inside (even when exhaling with the Breather if it was wet). There's a short video you can watch (paperwork including tracking your "reps" the amount of inhale & exhales [breaths] you take with the Breather to ensure that you're using correctly) that you

Leftover different types of lung teas I took to help recover after I had Covid

Image
To assist with the long-term breathing problems I had when recovering from Covid, I took a picture of the leftover different types of lung teas I still have in my pantry (BELOW). I liked the "Lung Soother" (tea that's pictured in the middle of the other teas) best with regard to taste especially after letting it steep for awhile (when the taste of the tea intensifies) it's still good. These teas were bought off of Amazon. The price of the Lung Soother tea was in the $6 range. I have this leftover Mucus Relief Maximum Strength tablets (BELOW) from when I had Covid. I don't think they did much, but when I checked the expiration on it today (it's still good until 3/2025). I won't photograph other healthy breathing supplements (tablet form) that I took as I no longer have and besides I honestly think the lung teas (which are supplements as well) are the most beneficial. Be sure to follow the instructions for the tea/(s) you choose to drink. I also won't
