Stranded With...Medicine Cabinet Items


Okay.  I have to admit I was a little confused by this one because, A) I don't own a medicine cabinet {I'm picturing the ol' 1970's mirror over the sink kind of cabinet}. Does a first aid kit count? And B) Are we talking prescription drugs? Ha! You can learn alot about people by what's in their medicine cabinet!

So "medicine" being the key word, I decided to roll with it like this.  Here are my three items I would take if I were stranded on a deserted island.

{one.}

Excedrin Migraine. Y'all know I can just about get a migraine anywhere and I don't believe a deserted island is an exception. My triggers are hunger, heat, and smells, so I can only imagine that two out of the three would have me reaching for the bottle. The only down side to me popping pills is that I can't just swallow a pill.  I have to have water to take it, so I guess if my headache was bad enough - which it would be - I would either die choking with a pill in my mouth or succumb to using salt water.


{two.}

Alcohol.  And for once, I don't mean the kind you can drink.  I'm talking rubbing alcohol. And it's only fair that I have the cute little package of cottonballs to go with it! So, yea.  Alcohol. And besides!  It's flammable!  Once I get a spark going, I can just pour on the alcohol and poof! Fire!! But I chose this more for bug bites, stings, cuts, and things like that.



{three.}

And I guess I would be TOTALLY stupid if my fair-skinned self didn't take sunscreen. I mean, didn't YOUR moma keep the sunscreen in the medicine cabinet when you were growing up? I sure would hate to fry on a deserted island!


And speaking of a deserted island, I saw on social media this week that some peeps that were stranded on an island were rescued when a pilot saw the word, "Help" spelled out using tree leaves. Genius!

This was so much fun! Can't wait to share my books with y'all next month! Linking up with Mix & Match Mama.

  5. For serious...it was a huge toss up between alcohol and neosporin. Too bad I didn't think about the flammable factor!! And I'm going to need to borrow that sunscreen. haha..that is NOT in my medicine cabinet and never crossed my mind. :)

    1. I just remember growing up, my mom kept it in the medicine cabinet. I still keep it in our bathroom cabinet, but not with the medicines.
