Take Time for You…

Hello again to a Happy Friday!  While the rest of the country appears to be under a blanket of snow, here on the West Coast, our weather fluctuates like Hollywood’s fashions.  Today it is a beautiful Southern California winter day at 60 degrees, but tomorrow it’s going to drop and by Sunday we’ll have rain. 
This type of change is hell on my sinuses.  So right now I’m suffering through a lovely head cold.  So bare with me as I struggle between typing and blowing my nose.  When times like this occur, I find myself wanting to just sit in a steam room for hours, but since  I don’t have that luxury, I use my tub instead.  One of the best finds I have found is from Purity Cosmetics.  Their Eucalyptus Sea Therapy bath salts are amazing!  .  I just pour about a ½ cup in the hottest water I can stand and slip into paradise.  The heavy aroma of Rosemary, Peppermint and Eucalyptus open up my sinuses and give me some relief.  I have tried other bath salts before, but none of them worked as well as these.
My other form of relief in times of muscle despair, comes from my dear friends at Ole Henriksen.  I swear, Ole must have a magic wand, because all of the products that he makes are fantastic.  If you are lucky enough to have someone to give you a massage with Ole’s Muscle Comfort Lotion, take them up on the offer.  This lotion goes on cool, but as it is rubbed into the skin, it becomes warm and leaves your skin super smooth.  Even better is it doesn’t have the traditional menthol, muscle rub smell.  The scent has aromatherapy qualities.  If not for a body massage, your tootsies need a little lovin’ too.  Us ladies love to wear the high heels that kill our feet, why not at the end of the night before you tuck them into bed, give them a little rub-a-dub with Ole’s Muscle Comfort lotion.
Make it a great weekend… I know I will.
Cheers!
