TRY THESE GREAT HOMEMADE IDEAS
No Chemical Sunscreen
Mix three teaspoons of crystal Vitamin C in a brand new plastic spray bottle
filled with bottled water and spritz on skin before going in sun.
Treat insect bites or minor cuts with….
Mix either triple antibiotic ointment or
a few drops of tea tree oil into aloe vera
gel as a great antiseptic and infection
prevention from insect bites or minor
cuts.
Natural Facial Toner with….
Did you know that Roses are an herb and
a favorite facial toner of mine is Rose Water.
Easily done by boiling rose petals in water
and then use it on the face or use to make
a cream.
Easy Great Reflexology
Reflexology – One of my “7 Must-Do” things for summer is go barefoot – so why
not
give yourself or a partner a reflexology treatment while you are sans shoes. It is
so easy to do and brings
so much pleasure during those lazy long summer nights.
When I was in China, I received the best foot massage of my life – I slept for
two hours solid after the treatment. I remember the practioner filled a large
wooden bucket with boiling hot water and placed it at the end of the bed
so I could soak both my feet in it while I was laying back on the bed.
Estacy redefined! (So much more enjoyable than sitting on the edge of
your bathtub with your jeans rolled up). You’ll need a bucket large and
tall enough so that you can soak both feet comfortably while sprawled on
your back on the bed. Then close your eyes and listen to a relaxing new age
tape and enjoy
the heat of the water. When the water begins to cool down, towel off
and remain on the bed in a comfy cross-legged position. Begin with your toes –
gently massaging
each one and working out the tension. Then the area below your toes on
the souls of your feet, then the arch massaging deeper and using the flat of your
thumb pressing and staying on a spot for a while to release tension. Let your
body guide you to where and how much pressure to use. Getting in touch with
your
feet has never been more healing.
