Wish Giveaway

Thank you to everyone who chimed in about neti pots and NeilMed Sinus Rinse!
I opted for the rinse:



Yeah, I was too chicken to try the neti pot thing. The thought of not tilting my head at the exact right angle and possibly gagging on a mixture of burning salty water was just too much for me to handle. For some reason, I'm not afraid to use a reciprocating saw but I am terrified of all things medical. Just sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office is guaranteed to trigger a "number three".
But my head just won't stop hurting, and my equilibrium is all messed up, so I forced myself to try the rinse.

After several failed attempts, I finally got the saline/water mixture to go all the way in, through, and out my nasal passage three times.
I'm still feeling pretty bad, but I'll try "flushing" again later tonight and we'll see what happens. Don't you know I'm just counting down the minutes 'til I have to stick that thing up my nose again. I can feel it staring me down from across the room as I type.

But enough about me and my stuffy head.

Thanks to all the great comments you left us about our "Wish", I had Kevin run back to the flea market and scoop up his brother so that we could give it away here on our blog this weekend:



So if you'd like to enter for a chance to win your very own Wish, just leave a comment on this post by noon (central time) on Sunday, January 10th.

Good luck to all those who enter!

Layla :-)

In the midst of carpools and soccer games the one thing that I always look forward to is sitting down with a great cup of coffee and reading your blog. Your house is so beautiful. I love the fact that you and Kevin are doing all "on a dime".
I too love the beachy look- I have the perfect place for those "wish" fish.

Heidi said...

Oh I love that little "wish"! thought you might be interested in a giveaway over at my blog, it would go perfectly in your bathroom! :)

Amber said...

You're braver than I am! I don't do up-the-nose treatments.

Everytime I see your "Wish" I suddenly get the strongest hankering for gold fish crackers! I think he'd have to go in my kitchen so I could grab a handful everytime I saw him! ;)

Michelle said...

Love the wish and I hope you feel better - I am suffering with the same thing. I know the Netti Pot looks scary but it works and if some happens to go towards your throat you just have to spit!!

Kelli said...

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I love the wish!

letsy said...

I have no idea how someone could actually use one of those neti pots. I know I couldn't do it, ick!

The "Wish" is so sweet! I hope you choose me.

Beth and Brittany said...

Love the Wish, NEED the Wish!

Here's a tip on the neil med (my mom got them for everyone this Christmas and made us all do it!) Make sure your mouth is open. It really helps and use distilled water. Hope that helps!

shelia said...

My husband uses the sinus rinse and it has really helped him, hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the giveaway.

"Wish"ing you feel better...hot tea and chicken soup go a long way! Take care.

Hey Layla~
Hoep ya feel better soon! Ever since reading the words Netipot on your page, I keep sayin it over and over in my head! Funny word, Netipot BUT sure doesn't sound fun!

Love stumbling upon your blog several months ago. We are closing on our house this coming Tuesday and look forward to tackling all those fun projects and making it our own. I hope you feel better. This weather as also done a number on my sinuses. I also had though about using one of those rinse things, however like you I too am quite afraid of most things medical. I hope you get well. May the Lord bless.

Molly said...

Love the Wish! Wish we had a good flea market where I live.

Katie said...

I saw Wish on your original post about him and thought about how cool it would be to find out like him.

I'm scared of all things involved with "flushing" sinuses. How can it not feel like snorting water up your nose?

Feel better.
