I've Gone To Pot

NO NOT THE RASTAFARIAN POT....the HIMALAYAN NETI POT!

All righty then....here I am - in my true Diva-esque form. Ya missed me didn't ya? Admit it!

Well, after tonight's post, you might find yourself judging me - and that's alright, cuz after all, we all know I don't really give a rat's ass what most of the general population think about the things that I do. There's only a few people in this world that I truly take to heart what they think about me and the things I do.

That said, I've discovered a new THANG!

I found THIS BLOG ENTRY about someone else's experience with the new toy - WITH PICTURES (oh, my LUCKY readers!), and all I can say is AMEN! I couldn't have hit the nail any harder or more accurately on the head.

I've been sick for close to 2 weeks now with the head crud that EVERYONE in this Godforsaken town gets this time of year. And I remember about 2 years ago reading about said device and I thought "NO. WAY." I mean there was no way I was doing THAT to MY POOR NOSE!

Necessity is the Mother of invention - and also the inspiration of the desperate. I NEEDED to breath. I figured ANYTHING was worth a shot after Monday of this week and BOY and I glad that I decided to be open minded about it. I'm a LIFE LONG sinus suffer-er. I was willing to do anything short of commit crime at this point for some relief.

Enter, the Neti Pot (also affectionately nick-named by my husband as "The Snot Pot" - ain't he clever??)

All I can say is that there is NOTHING I've tried to date (and I've been trying things for over 20 years) has worked like this thing. It took me a little while to get over the gross factor, but hey - I'm a Mom - I'm not supposed to get grossed out. And, I finally convinced myself with the jolt that, "Hey! You're a MEDICAL student now - you're going to see FAR WORSE than your own snot once you get your MA certification!!!!!"

The first article I read was THIS ONE. I about DIED watching the You Tube clip, but hey - I'm an adult here. And if it's worked for those Himalayans for thousands of years, then it's good enough for me. "Lose your inhibitions...."

So I looked around in a few stores yesterday and came upon THIS. It was $15, but hey - I had just dropped almost double that on pills and potions since the hubby AND I have been sick - and it comes with 30 packets of mix, so I figured no biggie since there was a money back guarantee on it.

Took it home, mixed it up, did the head lean and twist and viola! Jodi was a fountain.

I haven't felt so good in so long - OMG - the difference is amazing. And my nose doesn't hurt like it ALWAYS DOES does in this dry barren desert that I call home. I don't find very many things that I rave about like this, but I am seriously considering buying these as Xmas gifts - they are so friggin awesome. And for once in many, many months, I am as clear AND AS MOIST as a mountain stream!

So in the famous words of the blogger I channeled, I HEART NETI POT! :o)
