Rough Winter Skin? There's a Quick Fix in Your Kitchen!

To slough away dry, chapped skin on your hands:
  1. Go to your kitchen, grab white sugar and a bottle of oil (olive, grapeseed, coconut, etc.) and bring them over to your sink.
  2. Working over the sink, scoop  about 1/4 cup of sugar into one hand, then pour a little oil over it. (There's no exact ratio needed here;  start with less oil and add more if you prefer.)
  3. Mix the oil and sugar together between your palms to form a gritty paste.
  4. Rub the paste all over both hands, front and back, paying special attention to knuckles and any other areas that are extra dry. A circular motion is especially effective.
  5. When you're done, rinse and dry.
The sugar removes dead skin; the oil moisturizes. You can use salt instead of sugar, although that may sting on cracked skin.

To make a body scrub, increase the recipe and use in the shower. For a scented scrub, add a few drops of extract or essential oil. And for safety, be sure to wash the oil off the floor of the shower when you're done.

A Free World - a Law of Attraction Quote

See this world as a free world, and see everyone in it as trying—through their individual experiences—to find their way back to that calling, back to that Source Energy. And even though there are billions of them going about it in a way that is different than you would choose, there's no right or wrong way. In other words, bless them all, and get on with the only thing you have any power about, which is opening or closing your vortex to your natural state of Well-Being.

Complaining - a Law of Attraction Quote


Complaining about anything, holds you in the place of refusing to receive the things you've been asking for. Justifying about anything holds you in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you've been asking for. Blaming someone, holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you've been asking for. Feeling guilty, feeling angry, it doesn't matter what you call it, it is a refusal, not a conscious one. You're asking; you can't help but ask. The Universe is yielding; it must yield. It's a big question, folks: why aren't you letting it in?
