Relief is Here for Colds and the Flu with Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil Severe {#ReliefIsHere}

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/P&G.

As if life here during winter in the Midwest didn't already have its problems (if I see one more photo on Facebook of you and your kids outside in t-shirts while my family is bundled in 12 layers, I just might unfriend you), this year we're also dealing with yet another harsh season of colds and the flu.

Can't we go one winter without the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declaring a flu epidemic? I'm heartbroken to hear that more than a dozen children have died and, while the current vaccine does provide some protection, all we can really do is try our best to stay healthy and avoid it altogether.

Plus, it pays to be prepared in the event that the flu does make its way into your home. Don't wait until you're up all night coughing, sniffling and feverish, combat the symptoms before they get too serious by heading to Walmart and picking up Vicks NyQuil Severe Cold & Flu and Vicks DayQuil Severe Cold & Flu!

If you don't have these high quality, effective products in your medicine cabinet, what are you waiting for? I love that they provide immediate relief and you can almost instantly feel your body getting the boost that it needs to fight off illness. Here is a full list on how they help...

I don't know about you, but I don't want to deal with any of these symptoms during the day or night! Which is why I was more than happy to hop in my car and head to my nearest Walmart (you're already going there for the convenience and savings anyway, right?) to make sure that we are prepared for the remainder of flu season.

I love that DayQuil and NyQuil Severe are both available in caplet or liquid form, so no matter what your medicine-taking preference is, you're covered.

Walmart even made things easier by having a Vicks display full of DayQuil and NyQuil products so that even if your head hurts or your nose is running, you will be able to grab what you need to get back home to bed quickly!

Experts report that although this year's flu season started a few weeks earlier than usual, they don't expect it to peak until early to mid-February. So don't wait until it is too late and you are short on sleep from coughing or need to make it through your day no matter what sort of congestion is trying to get you down - NyQuil and DayQuil Severe will have you prepared!
