Essential oils for my face.... Lately I've been using 5% Rose oil in coconut oil plus a drop of Carrot seed oil to help repair my face and it's dry skin and BLAH complexion....Looking better already.

Just enjoying a moment to myself while my face cracks with delight as my green herbal clay mask dries and hopefully is creating a miracle for my skin.

I have decided to start a 2ond blog just for Natural Me .... not me but allnaturalme.com that has healthy factoids, recipes and hints for natural living. I try to squeeezzzzee in some here (in between my rantings) but it's just not enough....

Visit the Natural Me Notepad!!

Offline and Off-balanced....I've been deglecting the online world for quite some time. I've been playing Dr. Mom ~ what an unusual un-healthy streak I've been on - STRESS & ME do not mix well. So my little guy has been under the weather too - like a nasty cold/cough deal - and I finally decide to take him to the doctors to see what the damn hold up on feeling better. Here Ayden has horrible ear infections in both ears!! I thought when kids had ear infections they pulled at their ears, screamed and it was just aweful. My tough lil' guy didn't do anything like that - he's just wanted held a lot and at night time was "wimpering" - geez....I should've known.
Treatment Agenda for Ayden's Ear Infections & Congestion:
* 1st line of antibiotics - the pink stuff - for 10 days
* Similiason Homeopathic Ear drops
* Garlic oil in ears and rubbed on feet
* Cool mist humidifier with essential oils of Thyme, Tea Tree, Lavender & Wintergreen at night
* Generic "Vix" Chest Rub with added essential oils of Thyme, Myrrh and Sandalwood
* Daily intake of acidoliphis (powdered from pharmacy) in plain yogurt with pumpkin pie spice :o)
* Lots of love and letting him get into EVERYTHING because I'm so glad he's feeling better and also feeling guilty for not taking him to the doc's sooner

When it rains, it pours .... and I'm having a STRESS STORM ....the weather here in Sadieville is sick - sick - and still sick!! I cannot believe that I'm still not feeling well. Stress is very damaging to the immune system! I've been telling this to people forever -and now, I'm seeing it in my own life. I need to pump up the healing foods & vitamins like Garlic, Fresh veggie juice and some more B-Complex in addition to my multi-vite. The funny thing is I never feel "stress-out" or frazzled - but obviously my body is feeling the effects. What do you do to de-stress?
