Until next time!
Pop goes the weasel!
I have been drinking this strawberry, cucumber and mint sparkling water concoction since last week. This is my answer to soda pop and the fancy, schmancy water sold in the grocery stores. The mint is fresh from the garden, and I am really pleased that something I grew is making its way to my table! Looking forward to switching things up with lemon and basil next week! What changes have you made to your diet to support a healthy lifestyle? Remember Loves, take baby steps...
Lavender Bath Salt
I decided to get a head start on making some personal gifts this holiday season. This lavender bath salt is so easy to make and a perfect gift for anyone who spends long hours on their feet. The Epsom salt helps relieve pain and muscle cramps, while the lavender produces a sedating effect while easing tension.
To make this at home you need:
1/2 cup Epsom salt 5 drops of lavender oil
Add the salt to your bath as you fill the tub. Slip in the tub and relax, let your muscles loosen up and enjoying the calming effects of the salt. Another added benefit is you will sleep so soundly after this bath. Try this salt out and let me know what you think.
Until next time!
DI(Why)?
There is nothing better than receiving a homemade gift! I feel special when I get a gift someone made specifically for me. The giver thought about my needs and/or wants and created something with me in mind. So with all that mushiness said, I am trying to get a head start on the holiday season by preparing some gifts for my friends and family. I will post my gifts later in the week, so stay tuned!
Until next time Loves!
Mmm...Mmm...Monday!
Happy Birthday to my beloved grand daughter, watching you grow makes my heart sing and my eyes weep. Love you to the move and back!
Island Stew
Fall is my favorite time of the year, I love the colors and flavors of the season and I have decided to combine them in a dish, I created and named "Island Stew". It was a feast for the eyes and wallet!
A crusty baguette and a glass of Cabernet completed this hearty meal.
Until next time!
Indian Healing Clay
So awhile back I posted a list of my favorite skincare products that I use for my face, and I have had a clear and even complexion while using them. But since that post I have had some occasional breakouts or I should say just one worrisome zit that goes away and comes back! Instead of buying different products to work on this zit, I decided to go old school and use some Indian Healing Clay. If you are unfamiliar with Bentonite clay, its used to remove impurities and dirt from your skin. Most day spas use clay in their treatment and it I said Cleopatra was a regular user of clay. All I can say is, it's the best rejuvenating facial money can buy. This is how I mix mine.
Clay Mask
2 tsp Indian Healing Clay
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
2 tsp Aloe Vera gel
Mix these ingredients together in a plastic bowl and apply to your face for 30 minutes. You can actually feel your skin tightening under the mask. Remove the mask with warm water, I actually loosened my mask up with a warm towel and then rinsed it off in the shower. My face was slightly red after removing the mask but it cleared up after 20 minutes.
