A very good friend of mine is participating in the #AroostookRelayforLife this year in Caribou, ME. She is doing this in support of her sister that is currently being treated for breast cancer. Dani is working her butt off trying to raise money for this great cause, as well as raising money just to help pay for her sister's treatments. She's really awesome! 

In a small effort to help her out I'm donating my commission from all sales in her #RelayforLife Linen World Party! Plus, since it's a party she gets all the great hostess rewards too :) I believe at least a few of them will be sold at auction in yet another fundraiser.

Anyone that has ever had a cold, stuffy nose or congestion understands just how much Vick's Vapor Rub can help! These little discs can be a life saver when you're sick and really need to breathe a little better. Thankfully, they are quick, easy, and cheap to make! Make up a big bunch to store for when you're family isn't feeling their best.

Home Made Vick's Shower Discs

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup water, as needed
• 15 drop eucalyptus essential oil
• 2-3 tsp Vick's vapor rub

Line a muffin tin with cupcake paper liners. 

Next mix the baking soda and cornstarch together. Slowly add the water and oil to form a paste, being careful to keep the mix from foaming. Thoroughly mix the Vick's vapor rub into the paste.  Pour the mixture into the lined cupcake tins. Let these set for at least 12 hours, or they can be baked in a 350 degree oven for 20 to make them dry out faster. Once they are completed dry, remove them from the liners and store in an air tight container. 

Anytime you have a cold place one of the disks on the floor of your shower. As the water runs over the disc it will release the Vick's vapor rub and eucalyptus helping to relieve your congestion. 

Vick's Vapor Rub was created by Lunsford Richardson in Greensboror, North Carolina during the 1890's. When the Spanish flu hit the US in 1918 to 1919 their sales skyrocketed from $900,000 to $2.9 million in one year!
