Mellowin’ Out!

Happy Friday Fabulous Readers, I Beckie, am ready for the weekend.  I have to admit, I was in a bit of denial that the holidays were actually over.  It was just yesterday that I packed up my Christmas decorations and put them away…. Well almost all.  I looked up and there, hanging in the door jam, was some mistletoe…. And I’m just going to leave it!  Why not?  Christmas isn’t the only time I liked to get randomly kissed!  I might even put hearts around it for Valentine’s Day.

Stress is something that we all have.  I don’t care who you are.  I bet even the Pope has stress.  But it’s how you deal with the stress that is important.  Speaking from experience, it can cause a lot of health problems and being a single Mom and sole provider for 2 young children, there isn’t time to get sick.  I’ve had to learn the hard way of how to deal with stress, but now knowing how important it is to take the time for me and to detox from the day, I’m better for it.

So this week, we have been discussing home remedies for stress.  Massages are always #1 on my list.  But that isn’t always available, so I have to settle for aromatherapy and a bath as hot as Dante’s inferno. 

If I haven’t mentioned them before, I’ll mention them again, because they deserve it.  One of my favorite companies that I L-O-V-E, Love is Hellomellow- www.hellomellow.com. 

The name says it all!  They offer all different types of fragrances that go with whatever your mood needs to be.  If you need a little pick me up, try Empower or Arouse (which is great for sore muscles).  If you need to just chill, try Unwind or their new and not around for much longer, Joy.  I bought a jar of the Joy body butter at the beginning of December and now I’m scrapping the bottom to get the last little bit.  The massage oil is amazing too.  I love to just pour some in my hot bath and just relax.  My skin is wicked soft when I get out and the smell of Juniper Berry and Sage drift throughout my house.  How can that be a bad thing?  Now if you know me, I’m not one to follow the rules or read directions.  This has caused me a few problems in the past, but for the most part things work out.  Well, I had the thought that maybe Tracy’s massage oil, isn’t just for massaging, maybe I could use it as a shave oil.  Sure enough, it can be!  Love it!  Way to go Hellomellow!  See reading the directions and not following the rules sometimes pays off- LOL!  I’m sure my Mom would not agree with me at all.

Until next week, take time to relax… don’t worry the dust and laundry will be there tomorrow…Promise!

Have a great weekend,

Beckie b
