Vicks VapoRub has been around forever, as a staple to relieve chest congestion and coughing, that brings back childhood memories of our moms taking care of us. While today, the go-to treatments usually come in the form of pills or tablets, Vicks is still in business treating ailments with Vapors.
The most important ingredients in Vicks, that relieve congestion and coughing through breathing in, are Camphor, Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol. Though this is fairly well known, what is not common knowledge is that Vicks lends itself to other home remedies. Perhaps, it is the many unusual uses of Vicks, that has kept it on the shelves of our pharmacies for so many decades.
Some of the suggestions made in the video below, for Vick’s fresh, strong-smelling ointment are for: Relief of common Headaches; pain relief will come quickly when Vicks is applied to your temples. LiveStrong suggests breathing in slowly and deeply after placing Vicks under your nose.
Muscle ache relief can be achieved when Vicks is massaged in, followed by wrapping your muscles in a dry, warm towel, according to LiveStrong.
Toenail fungus can be alleviated by rubbing VapoRub into them, 2-3 times per day; this may be required for a few weeks, and perhaps months to beat the fungus.
Cracked heels are one of the worst parts of the wear and tear of winter. If you put Vicks on the heels and balls of your feet, paying particular attention to the most cracked areas, and then sleep with socks on you are on your way to repair.
eHow suggests that when you awake rinse the Vicks with warm water and use a pumice stone to exfoliate the dead skin.
AnswersVideo tells us that bugs can be repelled by putting a touch of Vicks on your clothing and skin. If for some reason, you are just too sweet for the bugs to resist, use the Vicks to relieve itching.
For all you Cat Lovers, who don’t love having your kitties scratch your furniture, dab on Vicks and they will stay away!
As long as you don’t have an open wound, a mixture of Vicks and salt can be applied, for faster healing. This seems to occur by the combo aiding your blood to circulate more rapidly, which promotes faster healing.
Who knew that Vicks was capable of implementing so many remedies? Not I! The video below will provide you with even more uses for this magical ointment.

Dogs are full of funny surprises, especially young, adorable little puppies. Not only are puppies super cute, but they are a source of constant entertainment. Putting a puppy together with a full grown dog is always fun to watch but you need to keep a close eye on them. Lacie, the small black and tan puppy with tiny white paws in this video, is proof of this but she’s also full of something else..
Lacie was messing around with her new brother Mac the Corgi while the 2 were getting to know one another better. They were both starting to get really excited and were amping each other up, yapping and nipping as they bonded over playtime. Even though Mac, being a Corgi and small to begin with, isn’t all that big he still manages to dwarf little Lacie. That’s probably why she resorts to some unique tactics to gain an upper hand!
According to her owner, YouTube user TBL4, Lacie often ‘plays dirty’ and she one-ups her bro here in a very foul way. As their play fight reaches a crescendo she spins around and sticks her furry behind in Mac’s unsuspecting face, then lets one rip! His reaction to the sudden burst of toxic air is absolutely hilarious. The moment it dawns on him that he got farted on is the whole point of watching the video so check it out, it’s so worth the wait..

Soldier Became Best Friends With 3 Strays But After A Bomb Went Off No One Expected THIS! I Have Chills!
image via – facebook.com
It is hard to imagine what it is like to be a soldier serving our country in Afghanistan. The daily anxiety of whether you will make it through each day, in an area where your life is constantly under threat, is truly unimaginable.
Although the men and women who serve are at another level of bravery, anything that can give them comfort to say sane and balanced is most welcome. For Sgt. Chris Duke this comfort came in the form of three stray dogs who provided company and the warm feeling of home.
Sgt. Duke befriended these dogs, whom he named Sacha, Rufus and Target. One night as he and the other 50 soldiers in the barrack were asleep, they were awakened by the three dogs barking loudly. A suicide bomber had made his way into the camp, with the intention of setting off a bomb and killing all the men.
The dogs heard the intruder and then attacked him before he could enter the barracks, saving all 50 men. Sadly, he set off the bomb, and Sacha was so badly hurt that he had to be put to sleep; Rufus and Target survived. After his tour was over Sgt. Duke returned home but couldn’t stop thinking about his pals Rufus and Target.

She Got Home Happy After A Date. Then Posted This On Facebook 2 Hours Later? She Was Found Dead!
image via – youtube.com
Amber Cornwell wrote this on her Facebook page: “If I die tonight, would anyone cry?” This update appeared just hours before her parents found her hanging in her closet! She was pronounced dead at the scene. In the video you are about to watch below, her heartbroken parents speak out.
Amber had been bullied mercilessly for years; despite her parent’s belief that her life had taken a more positive turn, Amber simply could not go on. Bullying wears away at the soul, particularly during the teenage years, when fitting in is paramount. Her parents are speaking out to, yet again, bring attention to the destruction caused by bullying.
It cannot be assumed that your child’s self-esteem is intact when they have been victimized by years of bullying. Counseling support should be a requisite part of their lives to try to monitor for suicidal thoughts and inclinations.
The East Henderson High School in North Carolina held a candlelight vigil for Amber after her death, but has remained silent about the claims of bullying that she had experienced since the sixth grade. Her parents are keeping the focus on
Amber’s story; she was tortured by “mean…stuff [said] to her face, [and] behind her back.” Cruel messages on Facebook permeated her life after school hours. Children can be helped with individual counseling, but unless schools incorporate sensitivity programs against bullying, teen suicides will continue to permeate our culture.
Bullying is truly an epidemic that needs to finally come to an end. Hopefully this story will be a wake up call for many..

image via – youtube.com
Well this video of a UFO overtaking a plane is starting to make it’s rounds around the internet. Nobody can really tell if this one is a real or a fake, but it is definitely causing quite the stir.. Is it a bird? Is it another plane? A drone? or possible Aliens? We may never know, however we have the footage and these two guys break it down frame by frame.
So let’s say for hypothetical purposes it is a real alien ufo.. What does this mean for our planet? Does this change everything we ever knew about life? Does this change how we view ourselves in the universe?
Here it is, folks, here it is. You have suffered through countless fakes, innumerable hoaxes, and at least 47 easily explainable things which some zealous individuals convinced themselves were UFOs. You have had your hopes elevated through the clouds, to other worlds where advanced civilizations are thriving, a million years more evolved than our own.
They have conquered the apparent limitations posed by long distance space travel, found our tiny little planet, and made the epic journey from their home to ours. Why did they come, and what will they do now that they are here? Up until this very present moment, we have asked ourselves that very thing, but never has a satisfactory explanation been found. Right now, all of that changes.
Your world will never be the same, because time. Also, you are about to observe one of the most unidentified of all flying objects. Is it conjecture to assume that this is indeed a craft manned by an intelligent extraterrestrial being, whose home planet is located some immeasurably vast distance from us? Yes, it is true.
And so many times your hopes have been dashed to the ground by the all-knowing interwebs. There is no way that is going to happen this time? This time, you get to find out exactly what it is that the visitors want. Is it our resources? Our children’s brain power? No, as it turns out, all the movies and novels got it wrong.
As it turns out, they just wanted to prove that they can go faster than we can.
Regardless of whether this video is a real or a fake it quite interesting none the less and a topic of great debate. Is there life out there in the galaxies and universe or are we the only ones gifted with life? You watch the video below and decide for yourself!

Have You Ever Noticed A Fence Painted Purple? It Means THIS..
image via – youtube.com
Seeing purple paint on fences in rural Texas is extremely common, but many people don’t know what it means. The practice began in 1989, as a subtle way of letting strangers know that they were entering a private area. Most people have no clue what this purple fence means but awareness could easily stop an unnecessary tragedy from happening.
You might think that “No Trespassing” signs would be a more direct way of reminding people of land boundaries, however those signs would often disappear or be damaged. Texas passed a law in 1997, that would particularly alert hunters and fisherman not to go further, saying that purple paint meant “No Trespassing”.
In the video you are about to watch below, you will hear more about how this came about, and why the color purple was used. The Purple Paint Law has also gone into effect in Illinois, and violation because you are ignorant of what it means is no excuse.
