Did you know…?

Have you ever had a back massage and noticed afterwards that the skin is all flushed or pink? Or exercised like a demon and every bit of you is hot except your thighs and buttocks?

This is because our circulation system has trouble getting blood into the stationary and fattier areas of our bodies. When we move, it’s easy to create a blood flow into our arms and legs but getting it into our torso is another matter. This is where regular massage comes in. Massage will help to get that circulation flowing. And at the same time it relieves muscle pain, inflammation, tension, and stress. What a bargain!

So, if you can, treat yourself to one a month at least and get that blood flowing.

Have you ever tried…?

Sage – Forget your deodorant, try some sausage! All jokes aside, the spice that gives sausage that sausage taste is sage. Sage is the most effective anti-perspirant man can use. This wonder herb cuts body perspiration by 50%. The herb can also be used as a preservative, for indigestion, to lower blood sugar levels and it can even stop a sore throat.

Thought of the Month….

……..that there is a Chinese proverb: Great doubts deep wisdom. Small doubts little wisdom.

Never stop doubting, never stop questioning, never, ever assume you have all the answers. Having all the answers kills the question itself; renders it lifeless — and you, too…

Keep looking, keep seeking. Never, ever find it all. Because when you find it all, you deny that there is more. And there is never not more.  Neale Donald Walsch

What’s on…

Did you know…?

Toothpaste for that problem pimple. Oily skin is more prone to pimples and acne. This is due to the clogging of the pores with oils which prevent the old skin from shedding. Toothpaste can help dry out the pimple to heal faster. If you find your skin is irritated by the toothpaste – try calamine lotion. It offers the same drying treatment for pimple relief.

Have you ever tried…?

Saffron – Got a little, or a lot, of money to burn? Saffron, one of the most expensive herbs available for purchase today, offers hypertension reducing qualities when brewed in a tea. As an added benefit for the outrageous cost, saffron also lowers cholesterol and calm the risk factors most often associated with heart attacks and strokes.

Thought of the Month….

…….just when it looks like life is falling apart, it may be falling together for the first time.

I have learnt to trust the process of life and not so much the outcome. Destinations have not nearly as much value as journeys.

So maybe you should let things fall apart at this juncture if that’s what’s happening. Don’t hang on so tenaciously. The nice thing about things falling apart is that you can pick up only the pieces that you want…...   (Neale Donald Walsch)

Did you know…?

Using hair conditioner as a shaving cream? I was in the shower this morning and I noticed my can of favourite shaving cream was kaput! I reached for my hair conditioner and lathered it on thick and shaved easier and closer than ever before. Afterwards, I took a spin on the Internet and voila, others are doing it too. The conditioner leaves the hair softer and thus easier to cut off.

Have you ever tried…?

Strawberries for smoother feet. Strawberries are full of antioxidants that can help to treat the dry skin so eager to take over those feet. In order to utilize the power of the strawberry, mix 8 to 10 strawberries with 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Throw in a teaspoon of coarse or Kosher salt and you have one healthy foot scrub that will work just as well as any pumice stone!

Thought of the Month….

…that life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.

Florence Scovel Shinn.” So before you think, do, or say anything — imagine what it would be like to receive what you are sending.

Then, go one step further. Decide ahead of time what you would like to receive…and then send it. Quite deliberately. That is, give to, or cause in the life of, another  what you would like to now experience.  (Neale Donald Walsch)

Did you know…?

Thyme can heal all scalp irritation… The kitchen cupboard is the place where ‘thyme stands still’. When it comes to beauty and health, this tasty herb can also relieve an itchy scalp. Boiling 2 cups of water and adding 4 to 5 tablespoons of thyme will create an herbal infusion that can stop all the scalp scratching. The infusion will need to boil for 10 minutes. Then drain the thyme out of the water.  Make sure to cool the water completely before using on the scalp and also do a test patch first!

Have you ever tried…?

Roses for stress relief. The power of the scent of a rose is evident. From those first few sniffs, the mind clears away and only beautiful thoughts remain. Taking this effect to a whole new level, if you like roses you could try ending your day with a rose petal bath. Simple add one cup of fresh rose petals to warm water. Can’t find rose petals, try mixing 1/2 cup of rose water with 1/2 cup of coconut milk and enjoy.

Thought of the Month….

….that love is not what you want, it is what you are. It is very important to not get these two confused.

If you think that love is what you want, you will go searching for it all over the place. If you think love is what you are, you will go sharing it all over the place. The second approach will cause you to find what the searching will never reveal.

Yet you cannot give love in order to get it. Doing that is as much as saying you do not now have it. And that statement will, of course, be your reality. No, you must give love because you have it to give. In this will you experience your own possession of love. (Neale Donald Walsch)

Did you know…?

Many people still use alcohol to clean oily, acne prone skin but did you know that treating skin with a drying agent like alcohol will only make acne problems worse? Alcohol dries the skin and increases the number of flaking skin cells. These skin cells are at the heart of acne. When the skin cells block the sebaceous (oil) glands of the face, the backup causes what we all know as a pimple. The more dry skin cells, the more chance of the pores becoming blocked and causing more acne.

Have you ever tried…?

Vitamin E is great for hands. After a trip to the salon, I noticed the manicurist placing a serum with Vitamin E in it on my nails before filing down the rough skin around the fingertips. Vitamin E is a natural moisturizer and antioxidant that can help to soften the skin of the hands and fingers. Vitamin E also makes cuticle removing easier and less painful.

Thought of the Month….

…that yearning for a new way will not produce it. Only ending the old way can do that.

You cannot hold onto the old all the while declaring that you want something new. The old will defy the new; the old will deny the new; the old will decry the new.

There is only one way to bring in the new. You must make room for it. (Neale Donald Walsche)

Did you know…?

Our primary source of vitamin D is sunshine, not food. A person with light skin can get enough vitamin D from a few minutes spent in sunlight each day, but the darker your skin, the more sun exposure you need to meet your daily requirements. You can also get vitamin D from supplements, fish oils, fish, eggs and fortified foods.

A deficiency of Vitamin D can cause these symptoms: Severe tooth decay. Bone pain. Muscular weakness. Muscular spasms. Brittle bones.

People with an increased risk of Vitamin D deficiency include: City dwellers or anyone subject to smog. Night workers, or anyone whose clothing, environment or lifestyle keeps them out of the sunlight.

So get out into the sun for at least 15 minutes a day!

Have you ever tried…?

……eating an apple a day as per doctor’s orders? There are many documented studies that show the numerous health benefits of apples but one very interesting one by French researchers showed that phloridzin, an anti diabetic agent found in apple peels doesn’t just help diabetics control their insulin, it also reduces the risk of Osteoporosis and may also increase bone density. This combined with boron, which is another ingredient in apples that increases bone strength, means that an apple a day is certainly a good thing!

Thought of the Month….

…that holding a grudge does no one any good, and rarely achieves the result of hurting or damaging the one you cannot forgive.

The only one who gets hurt or damaged by your holding a grudge is you. Now I know that you already know this. So why hold a grudge?

Many people say, “It is to protect my own dignity. I will not speak to that person unless he or she speaks to me first — and says they are sorry, and asks forgiveness.” Yet is this the way to retain one’s dignity?
