You know what the best conversation to have over lunch is?
Mucus discharge.

Seriously. Over a nice roasted beet, goat cheese and walnut salad.

Followed by a grilled vegetable panini and seasonal berries with a dollop of whipped cream.

Oh sorry, I must be the only one who does that.

Along with all of these ladies.

Not bad company to be around… no matter the topic J

We gathered at Spa Chakra on Fifth to hear some Vicks executives (who all are moms of twins!!!) discuss various new products for the Vicks brand and scientific research on cold and flu.

I’d already used the new products from Vicks since a little birdie (had a Vicks care package magically appear at my door) after seeing I was sick on Twitter several weeks ago.

But I didn’t know there were over 200 types of cold viruses or that our body discharges over 750ml of mucus when we have a cold. Oh well that grossness is just a necessary part of life.

After the Vicks “Breathe Life In” lunch, they treated us all to a spa treatment of our choice.

I chose a signature facial (retail price $199 and in my opinion, quite overpriced). Nicole got a signature massage.

Here we are striking a fuzzy iPhone pose before our treatments:

Oh stop people. You know you strike a pose with your friends in the bathroom.

Thanks to Vicks for clearing up my misconceptions about cold and flu season… and my skin.
