Lip Pots

I needed more rose water
and my nightime oil bottle was almost empty.

Both would be easy to make in the kitchen.

My nighttime oil is Vitamin E and vitamin C mixed together.
The lemon oil is the vitamin C part of my recipe. It is easy to do up a bottle.
It will last me three months as long as I keep it out of the light.
It is my nighttime face treatment since
Vitamin E and Vitamin C are affected by light.
I wear a cream with sunscreen for daytime.
For less than $10.oo I have a lovely nightime treatment.
I sometimes will add lavender oil if I am having trouble sleeping.

My lip pot was almost empty.
I have been planning on making my lip gloss.
I want to make all my cosmetics when I have a studio.
Today I decided I was not waiting for a studio or a still room.
I wanted to make my lip treatment today!

I rounded up the supplies, I put on my apron.

I stirred some Rosemary oil into the Shea Butter.

I filled the little pots.

This is nice for cuticles too.

I have the poppy pot on my desk.

As soon as I need creams I shall make them.

I just need to find pretty jars!

That was very fun.

Wellness

My dear friend sent her healing way.
Her love is guiding me to trust my inner wisdom.
I have asked the Oak Tree that grows in my yard for healing.

My Doctor has suggested I return to my yoga practice.
When I found this darling book at the bookstore I decided

I could get back into my routine at home.

I feel comfortable in my kitchen.

I am learning to savor.

I am using my sand timer to help me

spend at least 20 minutes enjoying my meals.

My doctor has prescribed two more books.

This one is to help me with my anxiety.
I have begun a study, complete with a high lighter and note taking.




From the library I have a few
food and health books.

While shopping for my great niece's first birthday gift

I found a book for me.

Something for my little inner "French child."

I am writing and reading and working on wellness.

Thank you for you kind support.

I am having fun while learning to be the best I can be.

Being Fit!

I am learning how to be slim and trim.

I am learning how to relax and release stress.

I am learning how to let go of anxiety.

I am developing my own program.

I am honoring my green, natural ways.

I am celebrating who I am.

I still fix my morning tray.

I still follow my Ayurveda Way.

I am adding in some Western Ways.

I am under Doctor's care.
I am in a partnership.

I have a goal.

I am putting together my team of healers.

I am building my support.

I fixed an afternoon tray.

I am keeping a detailed food journal,
recording not only what I eat but when and where and how I feel.

My digestion is improving.

I refilled my tea chest.

My friend sent me a card. She addressed it to "Butterfly Woman."


I feel as I have been in a cocoon.
I feel as if I am emerging.


I am shopping for a yoga class. I am shopping for a cooking class.

I may need to get my beret out!
Adding a lovely French twist to my eastern way is fun!

Products

I added a few drops of lavender oil

to my unscented lamp oil.

The smell is relaxing.

I have been trying out a new product line.

The company seems to be responsible; aware of the enviroment and fair with their labor practices.

Their products are all organic.

I am very plesed with each of the products I am using.

I am looking forward to when my stone crop is in season.

I want to make a serum for my face.

Stone crop is the same as sediums.

I grow lots of sediums!

Listening

I have been listening to my body.
Sleeping when I need rest.
Walking and getting exercise as I am able.
I started desiring the taste of peppermint and licorice.

I was so pleased when I found licorice pastilles

and liquid stevia with peppermint!

I am smitten with peppermint coffee!
I add a few drops of the stevia to my non-fat dry milk and stir into my coffee.
Delicious!

In the evening I have a pot of tea!
I add my lavender and rosemary to the tea pot for a delightful blend.

I am feeling better.

I am listening to my body.

Blue-Green Algae

Lake Klamath in Oregon, is the source of a fantastic super food
I have begun to take.

My doctor suggested I read this book

and try Blue-Green Algae.



The one I am taking is from Klamath Lake in Oregon.

I am impressed with this super food.

I am impressed with this beautiful lake!

Exercise

To stay in balance we need to give our
bodies proper exercise.
I like to walk.




Dr. Nancy suggests we walk 20 minutes in the morning
and 20 minutes in the evening.
The problem is having the energy for walking.
When I do not feel good it is hard to get out and walk.
Keeping my motivation up can be the deciding factor on if I go walking or not.
Knowing you are walking with me helps.
Thank you!
Once I go walking I feel much better.
My husband walks with me at twilight.
I do enjoy our walking and talking time.



I am still walking in place each time I go into the bathroom.
I am up to 3 minutes of fast paced walking in place.
I do this once an hour from 7am to 5pm.
30 minutes every day.
Today I added weights to my walking in place.
I also brought out my wrist weights to wear around the house
and when I go outside walking.
Dr. Nancy suggests weight baring exercise as part of a
prevention program for osteoporosis.
As I am able I am adding to my exercise program.

What type of exercise do you like?


I am almost finished reading Ageless Woman.
Next on my desk is Home Remedies.

Having support is important.

Each month I recevie an Ayurveda newsletter.

I enjoy the articles and feel support in my new way.
