Summer Grilling & Built for Play with Johnson & Johnson

Summer is built for play. Lots & lots of play. From mountain biking to fishing, hiking & a plethora of other activities ~ also lots of time spent whipping up burgers & bites on the grill. I’ve teamed up with the folks at Johnson & Johnson to bring you some helpful summer & back to school inspiration. We want y’all to get out there & play ~ encourage you to get inspired whether that involves trying something new or just devoting more time to your favorite activities. Around here we have first aid kits everywhere, in my Jeep, backpacks, kitchen & medicine cabinets. You never know when you’ll need some extra care… Summer Grilling & Built for Play with Johnson & Johnson | MarlaMeridith.com #Ad Our kits include the following: BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages, NEOSPORIN®, Johnson & Johnson RED CROSS® Brand First Aid products, BENADRYL® Topicals and BENGAY®  We live a super active lifestyle & they have protection to help protect us. Having these items at the ready is a must! It’s inevitable that there will be skinned knees, raspberries from brambles & some little stumbles here & there.

Maybe a small burn or nick from a sharp knife from time to time. The mosquitos can also buzz in & cause some serious itchy skin. Speaking of grilling…..Here are a few grilled favorites you gotta try!

Love the camo & patriotic pop… LOVE these Veteran Heros Band-Aids® | MarlaMeridith.com #Ad So how do we practice proper first aid care? Well, first of all we know that minor cuts and scrapes can become contaminated with dirt and germs, which might cause infection and delay healing. That’s no fun. We practice BAND-AID® Brand’s easy-to-follow 3-step process to promote better healing.

  • First we CLEAN: flush & clean the affected area with mild soap and water.
  • Second we COVER: using NEOSPORIN® First Aid Antibiotic (this can also increase healing time)
  • Third we PROTECT: Covering the affected area with a BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandage. Keep it covered until the wound is completely healed. This protects the wound from water, dirt, and germs that can cause infection, thereby helping to promote fast healing.
For itchy rashes, mosquito bites & minor sunburn we use BENADRYL® READYMIST anti-itch spray. For relief from minor back & joint pain we use vanishing scent BENGAY®. Get out there & enjoy all that play! Don’t forget to carry your first aid kit too!
