Bath Salts are excellent to refresh body and mind. 
Here are some reasons for you to indulge.

Bath salts offer a lot of benefits- its not just tossing some scented salt in your bath.
Warning - never put salt if skin has cuts or bruises on it, sting like nobody's business.

How to Use Bath Salts
Draw a hot bath, just at tolerance level. Add 2-3 scoops of bath salt, and take a 20-min soak.


Benefits For the BODY
Bath salts relieve sore, achy muscles and joints, and reduce pain from sports injuries, stimulate circulation, relax muscle spasms and excellent for relief to achy tired feet, for foot ailments such as corns and calluses.



Bath salts may help remove excess oil and Detoxify skin and body. With the added oils, they will help to not dry out skin.
For dry, cracked skin and for itching and irritation due to dryness, bath salts are said to be helpful. Many suffering from Eczema & Psoriasis find Epsom Salts & non-fragranced Salts helpful.

Benefits For the MIND

Bath salts, with essential oils are stress-busting and elevate emotions, make you more able to face the challenges ahead.
And at night, washing away the day's turmoil helps in a restful state of mind.

Essential oils must be used in careful doses
My fave Picker-Ups: Choose a couple of
Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Grapefruit, Orange, RoseMary & Basil (very tiny amount)

To Destress for the Day,  I'd select
Lavender, Geranium, Chamomile, Patchouli.

For Achy Feet and legs
Peppermint, Juniper, Cypress, Rosemary, Fennel and my favorites Nutmeg, Black Pepper.

Homemade Pizza with Mushrooms, Bell Pepper, Mozarella & pizza base

When I woke up this morning, I was on a mission.
To make myself a new winter cream with all those coming-of-age butters- Shea, Pistachio, and some aging oils Walnut, Apricot and dashes of EOs- to smooth skin, keep me warm and up metabolism.

That done, I slathered myself smooth, I began to want more work... serves me right for overdoing the Turmeric- (read about Turmeric & upping metabolism here)


So, I sliced & diced Onions, peppers, Mushrooms

sauteed them all with liberal lashings of extra Virgin olive Oil, salted and peppered them. Cut slices of Mozzarella
 
Whipped Pizza sauce over pre-heated Pizza base
 Piled the veggies - Red onions, baskets of mushrooms, Red & Yellow Peppers
 
Cheese slices on top -  This is the other mini - Wait is that enough cheese?
-
Looks better now
 Forgot the Rosemary, lift the cheese, sprinkle it in. And into the oven we go.....
 Voila... 
Whats life without a microwave..
 Cut & Eaten in the next 10 minutes by Me n my family..

Feels like I'm in a Jason Statham movie- boy, that dude moves...
The end.
Maybe part 2 will come up later.

Favorite customer of 2009 -Natural Acne Serum & WashTestimonial

Lisa H, California, Our favorite customer of 2009!
Shares her experience with 100% Natural Acne Control Serum, Acne Old Scars Serum and Acne Wash

Raja gives 5 Stars for Acne Old Scars Serum on our page on Facebook

Here are parts of Lisa's email.

Week 1
" I am very happy with your products... I do not have any new blemishes and the texture (soft and smooth) of my face is improving! That is half the battle... however I am dying to not wear foundation so hopefully the scars will fade too!"

Week 2
I don't think I've had a new pimple in over 2 weeks and my scars do seem to be lightening plus the overall feel of my skin is improved. And this is mainly from the acne wash (which I now love!) and the acne blend and acne scars.
Mom .. tried some of my acne wash and loves it... she's gonna switch over from proactiv.
realized that for the first time in 10 years, I was out (somewhere other than errands!) without any foundation on! And in pictures my skin looked great.

Week 3
"I can't even tell you how much I love it - over the years I've tried proactiv, oral antibiotics, prescription topical creams, etc. and I get the best results from your natural wash. I never had severe acne but at least 3-5 blemishes all the time! Many thanks,"
