Helpful Tips for Mamas to Enjoy Nontoxic Organic Beauty

As a #happy #grateful new #Mother of a #beautiful #baby, keeping my life as #simple and #healthy as possible is very important to me.  #Organic #beauty helps me feel good, but #inner #beauty helps me feel wonderful and I strive for this feeling everyday.  I'm a stay at home #attachment #Mother and I work from home as a #freelance #writer and #blogger.  While looking and feeling #beautiful is important to me as a #woman, I honestly don't put a great deal of attention on my #beauty #regimen.  I put a great deal of attention on my #self #care, which is very important to me.  #Stress and #sleep #deprivation can wear out the #body, #mind, and #Spirit and I do my best to take good care of myself so that I don't suffer from burn out.  These are my three favorite things I do to stay well and feel #rejuvenated and I highly recommend them to everyone, especially Mamas who need extra rest.

1.  I've been practicing mantra-based #Transcendental #Meditation for more than 20 years and it has helped me tremendously to stay well and centered and keep my blood pressure healthy.  Meditating helps me feel relaxed.  When I feel sleep deprived and run down, I meditate and then enjoy a nice nap to catch up on rest and feel better.

2.  I enjoy a nice soothing hot soak in a bath of Epsom salts, sea salt, and #orange and #sandalwood #aromatherapy.  This soak soothes my nerves and helps me enjoy a radiant glow.

3.  After a nice, #soothing, #rejuvenating, hot #shower, I let the hot steamy water warm and tone my skin.  I then enjoy a nice #gentle walk in the lovely, crisp, fresh air.

#Nontoxic #beauty isn't merely about wearing makeup that is #safe, #green, and #earth #friendly.  True #beauty comes from within and grows #stronger with a #healthy #balanced #lifestyle.  This is how I'm able to look 20 years younger than my actual age.  The #healthier you are, the better you feel and the better you feel, the more confident and alive and radiant you feel and that is priceless.  For more helpful #tips about how to enjoy #nontoxic #organic #beauty, please visit my website:  http://www.notperfume.com/book.html and order my #book, Keep Your Vanity Without Losing Your Sanity or if you have a Kindle, you can order here: http://alturl.com/cinpe

Commercial Detergent and Commercial Deodorizers Are A Toxic Mixture

Have you seen the recent commercial depicting gospel singers singing about the divine uplifting fragrance of a popular commercial detergent mixed with a very popular commercial deodorizer?  In the 21st Century, this is by far the most toxic mad idea thought of yet and they think that by using gospel singers to sing their praises of it, it's wonderful and divine.  The truth is to the contrary.  It's common knowledge that #commercial #detergent contains #toxic #petrochemicals, #irritants, #phthalates, and many other toxic things that can potentially cause #Cancer and other painful illnesses.  When you add a well known popular #commercial #fragrance #deodorizer to the mix, you have a #toxic witch's brew that is overwhelming and hazardous to all walks of life, especially young children and the #delicate #ecosystems and #wildlife.  Please see the following links to very informative websites that contain very important information that all families need to know and please share and spread the word.  Breathing healthy, safe, clean indoor air and outdoor air is very important!

Laughter is Healing Medicine

One of my favorite #quotes is by a very wise intelligent man who found the courage to laugh and relax while he lay ill in a hospital bed.  That wonderful, sweet, wise man was Norman Cousins.  He said, "Laughter is truly the best medicine."  This is one of my favorite all-time #life #quotes, as it is so very true.  I have many days and moments when I feel discouraged and frustrated and I cry, but I breathe deeply and count to 10 and take a much needed breather break and I watch some wonderful comedy.  Lovely hearty belly laughs are truly the best medicine and a true #elixir for anything and everything that ails you.  I highly recommend it and I make it my daily and weekly commitment to my #selfcare to laugh as much as I can several times a week to stay well and feel relaxed.  You'll be amazed at how much better you will feel when you treat yourself to some much needed healing laughter.  Have fun and enjoy!

The Beauty of What Peppermint and Lavender Have in Common

What do #peppermint and #lavender have in common?  They are both pure #natural #organic #essentialoils that are derived from natural organic plants and herbs and they contain many healing properties.  #Peppermint is all my favorite herb because it's very healing for many ailments.  When I suffer from intestinal distress, a drop of peppermint oil on my tongue or in a glass of water is very cool and refreshing and soothes my upset stomach.  #Peppermint has grown wild for centuries and will continue to grow for many more centuries.   #Peppermint grows in abundance and is very easy to harvest and adds a beautiful healing touch to any home and healthy lifestyle.  #Lavender is also a wonderful healing herb. When you apply several drops to a painful sunburn or a painful kitchen burn, the lavender helps the skin heal very quickly.  #Lavender is also very soothing and calming.  #Peppermint and #lavender are each very soothing and healing for #aromatherapy and are very rejuvenating.  I have been using both herbs for healing #aromatherapy for 20 years and I'm very thankful for the profound healing they have given me and my life.  Please watch this video to learn more about pure #organic #essentialoils and how you can use them for natural healing medicine in your life.
