<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">You know what the best conversation to have over lunch is?
Mucus discharge.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Seriously. Over a nice roasted beet, goat cheese and walnut salad.

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Followed by a grilled vegetable panini and seasonal berries with a dollop of whipped cream.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Oh sorry, I must be the only one who does that.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Along with all of these ladies.

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">We gathered at Spa Chakra on Fifth to hear some <a href="http://www.vicks.com/nyquil">Vicks</a> executives (who all are moms of twins!!!) discuss various new products for the Vicks brand and scientific research on cold and flu.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">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.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">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.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">After the Vicks "Breathe Life In" lunch, they treated us all to a spa treatment of our choice.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I chose a signature facial (retail price $199 and in my opinion, quite overpriced). <a href="http://www.momtrends.com">Nicole</a> got a signature massage.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Here we are striking a fuzzy iPhone pose before our treatments:

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Oh stop people. You know you strike a pose with your friends in the bathroom.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Thanks to <a href="http://www.vicks.com/nyquil">Vicks</a> for clearing up my misconceptions about cold and flu season… and my skin.
