I’m probably going to out myself as being a moderately insane germaphobe, but hey, we do what we gotta do, and if this helps your kid stay healthy, that means we all have a better chance of staying healthy. Since my D will do 9 auditions back to back, she has to stay healthy. So this process has turned me a little crazy. Here’s some stuff we’ll have with us:

Zicam rapidmelts – if you feel the very beginnings of a cold, these things are like gold. The citrus flavor tastes the best (it actually tastes pretty good).

Nozin Nasal Sanitizer PopSwabs – not as gross as it sounds. It’s like hand sanitizer for the exterior of your nose, but it has oils in it for moisturizing, and only about $6 for a pack of 10 (each swab offers protection up to 6 hours).

Anti-bacterial scarf (Germbana) – for the plane. Way more fashionable than a mask! (see? I’m a weirdo. I admit it.)

Ayr Saline Nasal Gel – the voice instructor swears by it for traveling

Purell – lots of it.

The great news is that my D understands how important it is to stay well and is on board with all of this until she’s done with auditions.

Stay healthy out there, friends!
