MAKE YOUR OWN SALT SCRUB

Healing White Sage Salt Scrub


White Sage is a plant that speaks to me. I have benefitted from its healing properties by using it in many different ways: as an essential oil, a hydrosol spritzer, a tea, and smudge bundles. I use White Sage products from Lucky Six (luckysixfarms.com). They have the highest quality and best White Sage products in the market. The sage is wildcrafted, and the oil is made by hand in small batches. Their products are truly phenomenal!

White Sage is an adaptogen. It is a plant that can both stimulate and calm you, depending on what you need. If you are feeling stressed, it can relax you. If you are feeling lethargic, it can energize you.

White Sage is highly revered in Native American culture and is one of the most healing and medicinal plants in the world. I have chosen to make a salt scrub out of this plant, but as always, I encourage you to make this product your own! Find a plant that speaks to you (may it's lavender or rosemary?) and treat yourself by making a healing salt scrub. You can substitute the ingredients for this recipe with your choice of salt, oil, and plant.

Salt scrubs are great for the body! They help blood circulation in the body and invigorate and smooth the skin. Apply the scrub before or during a hot shower. For results you can see and feel, I suggest you start the shower, then turn off the water and apply the scrub, and rinse again.

Ingredients:
1 Cup of Epson Salt
1/3 Cup of Raw Sesame Oil
Handful of White Sage leaves
10 drops of White Sage essential oil



Measure 1 cup of Epson Salt into a bowl.




Pour in 1/3 cup of Oil.



Stir salt and oil together.



Crumble leaves in hand. Add in. Stir.



Add in 10 drops (or however much you want) of essential oil.



Stir.



Put into glass container. Use it on yourself and gift it to friends!

Namaste*

GREEN JUICE FOR HEALTH

Image
Green Juice for Health Simple veggie juices packed with the nutrients you need to live well. Lately, I have been drinking a lot of Green Juices. They are easy to make and VERY delicious. Drinking vegetables is a great way for the body to absorb nutrients. Making your own green juices is much more cost effective than buying them at Whole Foods for $6 or more. Instead, you can spend your hard earned money on a bunch of Chard, a coconut water, an apple, and a lemon  - and wa-lah! you've got yourself some homemade juice.  When I first began my juicing journey, I tried to put too many fruits and vegetables together. Even though EACH ingredient was tasty, when I combined ALL off them the taste was ... well, bad.  The key to creating a delicious health drink is to keep it simple! I use 5 ingredients or less in mine. Here are two of my favorite green juices. And remember, I encourage you to try different variations to make these drinks your own! Clean Green ...

LIFE'S TEACHINGS AND MY BIKE

Image
A lesson on  Allowing. I finally fixed my bike! It had been a big "to do" for me for many months. The bike is my grandpa's. It is old (I found out that the brand of bike no longer exists, and some parts will have to be special ordered) but in great condition. I was able to put off the project for such a long time because I had many excuses . . . and a car! The biggest reason why I hadn't started the project was that I told myself "I didn't have time" for it. Finally, on this past Saturday, different factors aligned so that I could finally fix my bike. It was a beautiful day, I felt energized, and I had one less commitment and therefore a window of time to dedicate towards the project. My bike went from being another "to do" in the back of my mind to being my top priority. I had so much fun fixing my bike !! at The Bicycle Works, a bike co-op in San Anselmo. It is a very welcoming environment with lots of creative energy and fun people. ...
