My favorite seasons are Fall and Winter! The leaves are changing and looking beautiful, and many may see this as the color fading away and the leaves dying, but to me, that's when things really start looking beautiful! Raking and jumping in a big ole pile of crunchy leaves, carving pumpkins, Halloween, pumpkin spice flavored everything!! So many people also hate the mere mention of snow... I, however, LOVE the snow!! I love winter and cozying up on the couch in a nice, comfy blanket, hoodies, scarves, the cooler temperatures, Christmas.. I love it!!
However, with the changing of the seasons, the ups and downs of the weather, which in Kentucky can be quite crazy at times, the high and low, ever changing temperatures.. you're bound to get the sniffles, and soon you're waking up in the morning with a sore throat and by night, you're in a coughing fit! So annoying!
This is where my husband found himself a few weeks ago! He's a deputy jailer at our local detention center and works nights, so he doesn't get a lot of good sleep. This cold had him down a bit, and seemed to drag on! Luckily for us, we had been offered the chance to test out Mucinex Fast-Max Cold, Flu & Sore Throat [Clear & Cool]. How odd and unlucky that he ended up getting sick just a few days after we got our package from Smiley360. Thanks a lot Mucinex haha, just kidding, it actually was really awesome that we had it on hand to try out.
It came in a nice box, with tissue paper inside, a few informative cards about the company and the product, and the actual product. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good photo of it, as it was soon put to work by my husband. Thanks for the photo! ;)
Now, this isn't my thoughts on the product, as I personally didn't get to try it. So this will be a review from my husband's point of view!
