My 4 Day Get Away To The USA!

Hello! I am blogging from a gorgeous lodge motel in Rutland, Vermont. My dad and I arrived in Burlington, Vermont yesterday around noon. We shopped and stayed in a motel there last night. We woke up early this morning and came to Rutland, took about one hour from Burlington. We shopped today some more and now I am completely beat! I can't believe how gorgeous it is up here, the air is so fresh and the mountains are beautiful. I spent way too much money but at least all my Christmas shopping is done right? Tomorrow we are off to Plattsburgh, New York for guess what? More shopping! Then we are either staying there over night or driving home! I am having an absolute blast just what I need before these next few hectic months.. You'll see why!

PS: Happy Birthday Daddy!

Tea Bag Burn Healer?

Saturday night I went to my aunts to make holiday decorations. We were using the hot glue gun and yes you guessed it I burnt myself. But this time was different, I burnt myself VERY badly. It was so bad that I got a huge bubble by the next day. I was told that I should somehow get rid of the bubble so it can deflate and then it would dry and heal. WRONG! I popped the bubble and by the next day I was in excruciating pain. I woke up in the middle of the night crying because I rolled on my finger! It was horrible.. My mom was reading up on the internet and heard that a green tea bag soaked in ice water was a good natural cure for burns. Lately I have been trying to heal everything naturally (at home). So obviously when I heard that a green tea bag could possibly help I decided to try it right away. I filled up a glass with cold water and added 2 ice cubes. I popped in the tea bag and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I took it out and placed it on my finger for about 30 minutes. Let me tell you, the coldness of the bag was sooo soothing and by the next day I noticed the swelling went down and it didn't look infected anymore! I recommend this home remedy for anyone with a minor small burn.
