Car seat

It's time for a new car seat for Little Monkey.
This is the one I chose.




Babies spines are immature until age 4. When forward facing too young, in an accident, their head flies forward, stretching the spinal cord in the neck, resulting in "internal decapitation" and death. Please keep those babies safe, keep rear facing as long as possible, in a five point harness as long as possible, and in a booster seat with proper seat belt positioning as long as possible.

Detox Bath And All Natural Shower And Skin Care

I just pampered myself with an all natural Spa Detox Bath and All Natural Shower and Skin Care :)

1. I started with a Yerba Prima Tampico Skin Brush session to brush away the dead skin and toxins as well as stimulate blood flow and lymphatic activity. This will help the detox materials to enter my body better.

2. The Detox Bath consists of: Simply Aroma Essential Oils, Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Slenderize, and 2 cups Epsom Salt. Put Epsom Salts and 8-10 drops of each Essential Oil in a large Stainless Steel Bowl. The essential oils will eat away at plastic bowls. You want to dilute the oils with the Epsom salt so you don't burn your skin with direct contact. Put the bowl under running water, as HOT as you can stand it. Soak in tub for 20 minutes.

3. While in the tub, I used a Small Brush to massage my feet and brush away dead skin on my heels. I then massaged my knee to help the magnesium in the Epsom salt and the essential oils to penetrate the pulled tendon I have in my knee. I also have carpal tunnel in both hands, so the massaging action helps strengthen my hand muscles.

4. After 10 minutes, I applied a generous amount of Radiantly You Dead Sea Foaming Face Wash to my face and neck. The minerals in the Dead Sea Mud have a detoxing effect on the skin.

5. When time was up, I turned the bath into a warm shower. I used Tate's the Natural Miracle - Organic - Natural Miracle Shampoo & Conditioner for my hair and body. Tates is made from truly natural products, like spring water, apples, wildcrafted plants, and LOTS of Love. I have been using Tate's for a few years now. I LOVE the smell! I feel like I have stepped onto the mountain where they collect the ingredients and take a deep breath of the fresh air there.

6. The final step is Raduiantly You's Antioxidant Facial Moisturizer. I am anticipating that the all natural ingredients in this will help reduce the wrinkles that are starting. The ingredients are Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera Liquid, Pomegranate seed oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E, and Lavender Essential Oil.

Now it's time for a good night's rest.

Embarking On A Healthy Journey

I have a plan for a healthier life. I'm still working out some details. This is a start, by using what I have on hand now while I acquire the rest.

Greens help our body to be alkaline. An acidic body leeches calcium from our bones, causes us to be lethargic, and stops the absorption of minerals by our blood. An alkaline body is just the opposite....it's healthy and happy. The Greens I am using now are some that my brother gave me. When these are gone, I'll be using Greens and Reds from Essante'.

Shakeology is one of my favorite healthy drinks. It's chock full of exotic raw, superfoods. Each of these superfoods has is own health benefits. Keep an eye on my blog, I'll be talking about this shake a LOT.

Bee Tabs from Essnate' give me energy! I take 3-6 per day. They are made from Raw Honey, Royal Jelly, and Bee Propolis. Each of these have so many health benefits that I'll be discussing in the coming days.

Sparkle Tooth Polish is an all natural tooth polish that makes my teeth smooth and shiny. I do believe that it is whitening my teeth also. It's safe for my whole family. Little Monkey uses this, and since it's floride free I know it's safe if she swallows it.

The Dead Sea Foaming Face Wash from Radiantly You has to be one of my most favorite products ever!! The minerals in the Dead Sea mud combined with the raw Coconut Oil clean and moisturize my face, making it soft and pretty. I put a tiny amount, about 1/8 tsp, in the palm of my hand, add water and rub to make foamy. I then close my eyes and wash my entire face, including my closed eye lids, and neck. I'll open my eyes and let the Face Wash work it's Magic while I finish my shower. This is so gentle on my eyes :) After rinsing with warm water, my pores are completely clean and tightened, wrinkles are less noticeable, and my skin feels invigorated.

Yerba Prima Tampico Skin Brush If you haven't tried dry brushing your skin, you are in for a special treat! Use this brush on your dry skin before you shower. It removes dead skin, stimulates blood flow, opens pores, and stimulates the lymphatic system to help remove the toxins that are being released from your healthy diet and exercise. Always brush with long strokes towards your heart.

So, that's the start. I have plans for a detox bath using Essential Oils, Exercise with Richard Simmons, YEVO meals for 43 Essential Nutrients, and more :)

I'm excited :)
