We all have our terrible sick days, but what about those days when we are feeling well? We usually don’t take to remember those days when we feel great, void of any sickness! I know I don’t. The days I am well, I just go about my busy day and don’t take a minute to stop. Now there is something we could do on those well days!
As the cold and flu season hits its peak this month, Ricola®, the leading manufacturer of soothing herb cough drops from Switzerland, is encouraging consumers to trade in their sick days for well days by inviting them to “Call in Well.” Now through January 31st, consumers can call 1-855-4-WELLDAY or text RICOLA (22122) to share what fun things they’d do if they took a “well day” off. One lucky winner per day will win $500. Visit Ricola’s Facebook page for official rules.
There are steps we can all take to make us feel better this time of year – that way you can go out and enjoy all the great things winter has to offer. For me, on my well day, I like to go to work, come home and play with the kids, and then retreat for some me time. Me time usually revolves around watching some Downton Abbey or reading a good book. Anything where I am relaxed and then ready to conquer the next day! So, what would you do on your well day!
Win it: One winner will receive the following prize pack:
Ricola Soothing Relief Kit (which includes Ricola product & cough drop tin, $25 Visa gift card

go to the spa!
I would probably spend my get well day shopping or possibly visiting friends and relatives who aren’t sick.
i do errands and other things I need to take care of
Wow, it’s been awhile since I got to see this brand – my favorites way back. they are so effective with the coughs!
I’d read books all day and go out to eat.
I would go out shopping.
I would go biking with kids.
I’m torn between doing something with my kids and doing something completely relaxing 🙂
I would sleep late and organize all my children’s photos and make a scrap book for each of them! I never seem to have the time for this!
I take my grandchildren to the park.
Assuming the weather was nice, I’d take the kids to the zoo, or park. 🙂
I think it would depend if it was a well day with kids our without LOL. If I had the kids, I think we’d go to the zoo, but if it was just me & my hubby – maybe go to Newport or something.
Just relax and do some things around the house. My mom works for a hospital in the billing department and because it is so stressful they get one “mental health” day a month that they can just take the day off.
I would sleep in and then get a pedicure.
get my hair and nails done
Oh my goodness, I so haven’t appreciated my healthy days! As I’ve been sick the last 2 weeks. bleh.
On my get well days I do a lot of reading and just enjoying my silly daughter as she tells me stories and dances and entertains me. Those are the best days.
I want to sleep in.
I’ve thought about this in detail and here’s my perfect day, go for a run, nice breakfast, get a pedicure, go to starbucks and get a vanilla scone and iced chai, read in the sunshine, and watch my favorite shows on netflix, all while eating my favorite foods and snacks.
I would go hiking on my get well day, love being outside.
I’d take my grandson to the park.
Ricola is a big favorite at our house! We have allergies, but our jobs have a lot of talking involved, so if there are any scratchy throats, you’d better believe there’s a bag of Ricola cough drops close by!
I’d go shopping with a friend…
I would go to the beach.
I would eat lots of chocolate, read a book and spend time with my boys!
For me pretty much everyday is a well day now! For that I am completely grateful and live each day to the fullest.
I would relax with a good book or surf the internet.
Spend alone time without the kids!
Sushi, watch a movie or read a book!
I WOULD GO SHOPPING AND TO A MOVIE.
I just relax around the house.
I do a movie marathon.
I have a chronic illness so I never take a well day for granted. Those are the days I get out and go shopping, have lunch with a friend, go on an outing with my family or clean. 🙂
Spend time with my family.
Ricola has saved my throat many times! What would I do with a well day? Let’s see–go out shopping, go to a spa–maybe even go to a mall and just walk around.
go to the park
Read a good book and sleep.
I would sleep in on my well day and watch tv and eat.
I would go on a day trip and do some shopping on my well day.
I am a stay at home mama but that doesn’t mean I ever get a sick day or a well day for that matter. On my dream well day my hub would stay home from work to take care of the kiddos while I went to the spa. A mama, could always dream, can’t I!?!
I would love to sleep in, get up, shower, eat breakfast, and get projects done around the house – all undisturbed. 🙂
Take a bubble bath, read & do yoga!
I relax and watch a movie. Thanks
Spend the day by myself crafting and entering sweestakes

I had the flu last week and needed Ricola so bad! I made my husband go get some and then everything was fine. I love the package you got!
finish up some projects without interruptions.
Lol, a well day. I don’t think my boss would like that. Now if I could take one I would definitely take my grandchildren out to lunch and maybe a museum.
Shopping, shopping and more shopping! Now that its me and the little one its so much more challenging. I try to find things for the both of us.
I haven’t had a get well day off in so long that I don’t remember what I last did. If I were to get one now I think I would get caught up on some much needed sleep.
I like to be lazy around the house and watch movies.
I would definitely go and get a pedicure!
We really like Ricola products when we are down with cold or flu. Wish I could enter the giveaway.

I would go to the beach
Take a nice long nap
I catch up on housework and get some extra sleep!

I had to laugh when I saw the call in well – every boss that sees that is going to hate that their employees are getting the idea to call in well! I would love a day to relax and read a good book myself.
I like to get fresh air, go for a walk, garden, sit and get a little sun.
I’d read outside in the sun.

A free day sounds heavenly. I would probably organize my craft room, or start one of the books that are on my huge “must read” list!
I spend my get well day reading in my pajamas! I could really use Ricola right now, I’m not feeling too well today. Also, now I have the Reeecooola in my head from the commercial! LOL.
I’d spend my well day relaxing. ^_^

As a activity, on my get well day I would either “feed a cold or starve a fever!”. It is this way in which was taught by my single-mother. However, since “Ricola” offers a product that is made with REAL Honey Herb and not only taste delicious, but has that of a combination that soothes and relaxes the mouth and throat. Therefore my activity would be as I take a “Ricola”, sit back and day-dream while laying on the beach – if my heath permits – dreaming I am on vacation!
