 One list of ingredients + one recipes for two DIY personal care items. The body wash or hand soap is a quick, easy, and inexpensive project and makes a super hostess gift or gift for anyone, anytime, or "just because." ingredients:Pure castile soap, pure vegetable glycerin, fractionated coconut oil, and lavender and peppermint essential oils. recipe:
Add all ingredients to a spouted bowl. Mix thoroughly. Pour into glass pump container {glass is recommended for essential oils but is breakable, so be careful about where you set this in or near your shower or bathtub}. Before pumping and while hands are dry, give the bottle a shake before each use.
Remember, local honey is always healthier and better ~ for you, the bees, and our economy. Be sure to visit our neighborhood beekeepers and friends, Louella and Ed Constanza, at the Eldorado Farmers Market opening in June.

Check out this video introducing my good friend Barbara Klein. She is a personal assistant in Santa Fe, New Mexico and recently discovered how pure, therapeutic grade essential oils can be used everyday in her life and work. about the production . . .I am on the other side of the camera ~ a hand-held iPAD in video mode. Because this was a "spur of the moment thing" we decided to keep it really simple ~ no microphones or lights {natural lighting only}, no green screen or attempts to 'create a set,' a script that took about 5 minutes to scribble on big sheets of white paper, a makeshift script holder {a old bamboo fishing pole sandwiched inside a golf umbrella in an umbrella stand}. We had so much fun with this impromptu project that I am sure you will see more of Barbara and other friends here on santadotfe. If you would like our notes, Tips for Making Great Low-Budget, Low-Tech Videos, please drop me a line . . .  Today, I started an essential oil regimen to help with my chronic sinusitis. In addition to my medications, which aren't helping much lately, essential oils will become part of my everyday routine to stay clear, alert, and breathing. Here is the regimen I started today featuring the dynamic trio of: lemon, lavender and peppermint ...
shower or bath?Step 4 of the daily regimen winds down for an evening of restful healing. If you are not sure whether to shower or bathe, maybe the tips below will help you decide. A shower, instead of a bath, is the best choice if you have been outdoors. It may not be visible, but pollen can stick to hair and can make you uncomfortable and restless through the night. If you have a tub-shower combo, run the bath until the water is warm, plug up the tub to fill the bath by an inch or so, add a drop or two of peppermint, stepping inside and switching to the shower setting. The aroma from the peppermint will help clear your sinuses and your feet will get a special treat. A bath before bed can be luxurious and healthy. Make your own bath salt -- start with a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of epsom salt and two drops of peppermint (for extra sinus relief and to soothe tired feet) or lavender for a relaxing, spa-like experience. next journal entry ...Expect another blog, or journal entry, in a few weeks where I will share my progress, challenges, and rewards as the new regimen continues. I will be adding Breathe and other essential oils and blends to the mix and experimenting with techniques such as diffusing.
