After listening to Eckhart about someone who wrote to him about being fearful about what is happening right now I had to share. If you’re ready for something really deep, check out this 14 minute video. It’s exactly what we need to practice at this time and release some pressure of our minds.
DIY Lotion Stick – Lavender, Clove and Lemon
I LOVE the lotion stick I make, because of many reasons. To start, I dislike how normal lotions leak when I travel or put in my purse. Lotion sticks are super easy to make, easy to use and easy to travel with. Not only are the lotion sticks completely natural and organic, I feel safe applying it on my skin and not worry about getting a rash. I avoid harsh chemicals that are used in other products. This lotion is very good for sensitive skin, since, it contains Shea Butter. Shea Butter is known for increasing circulation to the skin and is anti-aging. Can be very good for psoriasis and eczema. Coconut oil helps with reducing inflammation and helps keep harmful bacteria out. I use the container so that I don’t contaminate the contents in a jar.
