rosehip  
Keys to Success  posted a terrific profile of rosehip oil. It’s a fatty-acid rich oil effective for a variety of skin conditions, such as: age spots, wrinkles, sun damage, different types of scars, many skin conditions, brittle nails and even dry and damaged hair. Used alone, without blended essential oils, it’s an outstanding non-greasy moisturizer. Read the full entry here.

Have you been receiving postcards and coupons in the mail from the nail places and spas in your area. It seems like they’re really hurting these days. Usually this time of year – with spring in the air and the sandals coming out of the closet, I’m off to the nail place for a post-winter pedicure. But this year, I’m going to pass. It’s not the money – the cost is minimal with the coupons and “spring specials.” I just don’t need one.

Did we have a mild winter here in New Jersey? No.

Aromatherapy Pedicure

Did I have pedicures all winter to keep my feet soft? No. (Too darn cold!)

I won’t be visiting my neighborhood nail place for a pedicure any time soon because my feet are softer than a baby’s bottom– well maybe not…but pretty darn close! How is this possible? Ha, ha!! Essential oils! Simply by applying a dime-sized amount of essential oils in a carrier oil to each foot before bed, within a week the calluses, rough patches, and dry skin have disappeared from my tootsies. Just a mini-foot massage with a blend of chamomile and lavender essential oils in a base of sweet almond oil and I’m off to dreamland. The best part is waking with super soft feet. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!
