Some good suggestions in here. Sometimes tho, the smell hits you when you least expect it! I was walking through the plaza the other day, and the cleaner with the stinking rubbish trolley came past, and I nearly gagged on that!

I'm also finding lingering cooking smells at night are making me feel a little off. I'll be trying the lavender oil suggestion. I just hope it doesn't mix with the other smells and make it worse!

Wouldn't vicks under your nose sting your upper lip?? I remember doing it once as a kid to clear my nose, and it burnt!
