Wellness Bundle
It's that time of year folks, time to be proactive in your health and also time to rest. My phone and messages have been blowing up the past few weeks with people buying products to help them as they are finding themselves going through big healing crisis. This lead me to create this Wellness Bundle.
The products in this bundle offer something helpful for most of the common symptoms people experience when they have the common cold or flu.
The dry itchy sore throat, the coughing, the congestion, the chills and fever, the dry lips and cracked nose.
Everything in the Bundle is Safe and Beneficial for the whole family.
