DIY Body Lotion

Are you a beauty product junkie? Do you have a closet that looks like a shelf at Walgreens? Well I do. I cannot tell you how many different kinds of moisturizing lotions, creams, gels and sprays I have on my shelf.

Spa Products to Use at Home

Have you ever considered purchasing some of the salon products at your favorite day spa or salon? Maybe some of you already have, and the rest may not have given it a thought.

I Remember That Scent!

Just the other day my sister and an old friend, and I were reminiscing about growing up together. The funny thing is we got on the subject of perfumes and we all remembered wearing strawberries and patchouli oil fragrances back in the 70s. To this day if I come across it I'm nostalgic. Boy, the things we remember. Wearing strawberries and patchouli was really big in the 70s. And no, we were not hippies either.   Today aromatherapy is very popular and many people find it healing and soothing. It is a form of alternative medicine. Plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including... Read More

Should I Get a Massage Right After an Injury?

When I bump myself or get a leg cramp, my first instinct and reflex is to rub it out. So technically we think massaging an injury relieves pain and discomfort. Massage therapy with a massage therapist goes much further relieving an injury with proper massage therapy. Sometimes massage will make things worse if you don't know what you are doing and the type of injury might not warrant massage therapy. It's better to trust a professional and consult your massage therapist about your injury. Otherwise, you might be doing more harm than good.  The main goal of physical rehabilitation is to...
