Put Your Best Foot Forward
Oh, my aching feet! To ease your foot problems, you may want to try one of the many natural foot care products on the market or whip up a home remedy. Shoes that are too tight can cause a callus. This lumpy accumulation of cells isn’t unbearable, unless it develops a hard core and becomes a corn.
Get Rid of the Orange Peel Look
Cellulite is described as a fat accumulation on the thighs and hips. It usually causes a dimpled effect and even extremely slim women aren’t immune to it. Most naturopaths know that the whole picture is more complex than just a fat accumulation: cellulite is also a toxin accumulation.
Handcrafted Aftershaves
We use aftershaves because they smell good and are beneficial to the skin. However, commercial brands often contain harsh chemicals and synthetic perfumes. They can’t compete with the wholesome fragrance and healing properties of natural ingredients.
Tender Lovin’ Tootsies
Your feet have 26 small bones with 200 ligaments and 20 muscle.
The Holistic Gym Bag
In order to have a truly holistic approach to getting in shape at the gym, you’ll need a gym bag that’s in tip top shape as well. With these natural toiletry items and remedies, you will be ready to kick some butt.
Perfume
Think about the last time you felt nauseous or had a headache for no apparent reason. Could it have been from the perfume you smelled in the elevator? Or from walking down the detergent aisle at your grocery store? These reactions are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong with the air you’re breathing.
Sweating, Excessive
Sweating is healthy. Increased perspiration is how the body regulates water and mineral content and temperature and removes toxins from the system through the skin. Sweating is an action of the sweat glands.
Are Men Really Hooked on Looks?
Beauty has long been linked with health. For centuries our genes have driven us to seek out a good-looking mate to increase our chances of producing healthy offspring. Psychologists tell us that it’s in a woman’s nature to attract men with beauty.
Pamper Your Piggies
Are your feet still hibernating and sweating it out in winter boots? Summer is just around the corner, so give those tootsies a kick-start on the sandal season with a rejuvenating pedicure.
Help Yourself Soothe Your Soles
Your pretty painted toenails match your new spring sandals, but the rear view of your foot doesn’t look so appealing. Footwear can be serious fun for many women, but dry cracked heels may spoil the joy. Those discoloured and dry heels can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and even painful.
Midriff Miracle
What does an 80-year-old woman have between her breasts that a 20-year-old woman doesn’t? Answer: Her navel.
Greening My Face
I have a confession to make: I wear a lot of makeup. There are few personal-care products that I don’t own, and when a new one comes along, chances are I’m buying it.
