Friday, February 15th, 2008

Celebrating Valentine’s Day may bring both happiness and stress. Happy because one gets to spend time with their loved one, stress because of the hassle of lining up in restaurants, heavy traffic and highly expensive gifts. For most, the hassle experienced in celebrating on the day itself is a trivial matter since they get to be with their special someone. Of course, we can’t ignore the fact that we also get tired.

Here’s a perfect therapy set after a day full of work and other activites. :) This is an invigorating set for mind and body.

Contains all you need for a complete shower or bath experience, whether at home or when traveling. Verbena Shower Gel gently cleanses even the most sensitive skin. Skin is refreshed, toned, and healthy. Verbena Soap softens and protects as the foamy lather gently cleanses the skin, helping to preserve its natural moisture balance. The Body Lotion: Gently moisturizes, nourishes, and softens the skin leaving it delicately fragranced. Verbena Shampoo restores softness, shine, and vitality to hair. Verbena Conditioner restores vitality and shine to hair. The sparkling and zesty scents of citrus fruits leaves hair light, fresh and pleasantly perfumed.

Milk Bath

It seems that women have been indulging themselves with milk baths for centuries. The milk baths were made legendary by Cleopatra. The milk and its derivatives contain lactic acid, which helps to exfoliate your skin.

A milk bath can be used to soften your skin and can just soothe your tired body. That means you’ve got beauty and therapy all rolled into one fix.

Here are some interesting recipes for everyone to indulge in:

Milk and Chamomile Bath

4 chamomile tea bags
2 cups whole milk
1 cup boiling water

Place the tea bags in the water for 30 minutes. Then remove the tea bags and mix the liquid with milk. Add to your bath water and soak your worries away.

Milk and Honey Bath

1/2 cup liquid honey
3 cups powdered milk
lavender buds (added for color and fragrance)

Combine the ingredients above in a large bowl and then transfer to a decorative glass bottle in your bathroom. This also makes a great and inexpensive gift idea.

Scoop out a luxurious amount of the milk bath and dissolve in a warm bath.

Mint Milk Bath

1 cup cornstarch
2 cups dry milk powder
4 tbsp. of your crushed mint leaves
1/2 cup sea salt

Crush dried mint leaves and then add to above ingredients. Spoon into a decorative jar and then add a generous amount to a warm bath.

 

Got Milk?

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Milk and honey are the original comfort foods. These are usually associated with childhood and relaxation. But these are not only for your kitchen and table, they also have a place beside your bath as well.

I initially posted something about honey as a beautifying agent. If you want to read on it, here’s the link.

canus caswellThis time, we have another beautifying agent from our kitchen and it’s milk! There are many beauty brands that utilize milk as one of their ingredients like Caswell-Massey and Canus.

Do you know why Cleopatra is beautiful? She’s definitely an ancient beauty known for her use of herbal and cosmetic treatments. One of her favorite practices was bathing in milk and herbs to keep her complexion clear and her emotions calm.

What is in milk that makes our bodies healthy and beautiful? MILK CONTAINS LACTIC ACID, a gentle exfoliant, and is a good source of vitamins A and D, which nourish the complexion. Whole milk is such a powerful soother for dry, itchy skin that it can be used to take the sting out of minor burns and rashes.
