Ok as it is, I have no “extra” time! But, when this idea was passed on to me from my friend Jenn at Klean I new I had to make time! I have only done this for two days and it has already been a stress reliever. I find myself going to bed at night thinking of things I can do or give anonomously as it makes me feel so much better.
I think by the end of this whole 29 day ordeal I am going to sign up again! Or maybe I wont have to sign up, maybe by then I will just give freely and daily without even having to think about it…….

That Sunny Glow Say goodbye to dry, dull winter skin. Literally! The tools: - baby oil
- bar of Ivory soap
- loofah mitt
I got this tip from Lola Red about shedding drab skin and revealing your inner glow. Hollywood starlets have been doing it for years, and here I am to share the secret. (DISCLAIMER: This may be a cheap trick, but it can be incredibly messy!)
I have never done this but, when my kids and husband are out of the house for awhile I will break out the Loofah and maybe go for the shower instead of the tub. I dont want to have to scrub the tub for hours afterwards as it brings back to many memories of taking a bath after my mom soaked in Baby Oil. I was 12 at the time and jumped in the tub when she was finished to wash my hair, unfortunately when I went to dry it, all of the left over baby oil was stuck to my hair. I had to hurry as we were going to a wedding and didn’t have time to rewash it, my mom said it looked fined. But, when I looked in the bathroom mirror at the reception it looked like I had not washed my hair for weeks. It was devastating and I refused to take baths for 3 years after that. I stuck to showers and rinsed multiply times! Today, I just stay away from oil period in any form in my tub! Not just because of the hair thing but I now fear slipping and killing my self in the tub!
The trick:
1. Fill your bathtub with hot water.
2. Place a towel on the floor next to the tub.
3. Strip down and load your body with baby oil.
4. Dip the Ivory soap and loofah into the water, then rub together to coat the loofah with the soap.
5. Standing or sitting on the towel, start at your feet and scrub every inch of your hot bod until your skin is pink. (You will obviously want to load up the loofah with Ivory numerous times during the process.)
6. Once you have scrubbed to the max, slide into the warm tub and watch the dull, drab skin slip off! (Note: The bath water will be disgusting. You, on the other hand, will be a stunner!)
7. Slather yourself with fab self-tanner for some faux glow!

The Holidays are here, the snow is falling, the Tree is up and its lights are casting a warm glow threw the house. The Carols are playing on the radio, and the smell of freshly baked sugar cookies is lingering in the air. Ok maybe in a perfect world, but currently at our house the snow has fallen and just reminded me how cold Minnesota winters get and that I need to slather lotion on myself so I don’t look like I am shedding my skin at the end of the day.
The Tree is in the stand waiting for lights and decorations, the ingredients for the cookies are still in the grocery bag on the floor and I still have to start my Holiday Shopping! Even though things aren’t perfect I wouldn’t change a thing! Accept for figuring out how people start their shopping so early in the year. For those of you like me who are still looking for some last minute gifts, here are some quick and easy ideas.
Throughout the centuries, legendary beauties have used honey as part of their skin and hair care treatments. Cleopatra was famous for her milk and honey baths, and Poppea, wife of Roman Emperor Nero, used a honey and milk lotion on her face to keep her looking youthful. By the time cosmetics were beginning to be mass produced in the late 1800s, honey was a popular ingredient. Continue reading »
