I don’t know about you but it seems like a lot of people I know are sick! I personally have battled a sore throat and sinus congestion all week. One of my favorite immune boosters is elderberry tea. My kids won’t take elderberry syrup, trust me I’ve tried. Although when it comes to my tea… they beg for it! This winter has seen much less sickness in our house and I know my tea is one of the reasons.
Everyone deserves a little pampering every now and then. I love making homemade scrubs and I just made one this week that works great and smells wonderful! I called it chocolate cookie foot scrub because I used ingredients that made it smell just like chocolate cookies 🙂 Continue reading “Chocolate Cookies Foot Scrub”

As my readers know from my previous post I have been battling a cold this week. I was asked for the recipe for my shower vapor discs. I used to buy the shower soothers made with Vick’s vapors in them and they helped my sinuses a lot. Well they are very expensive and so of course I went on the hunt for a cheaper and all natural DIY version. There are lots out there but the one that has worked for me is this:
I have been busy making Christmas gifts for my friends and family because I love to give homemade gifts. I love to receive them also. Just knowing someone loves me enough to put some effort into a gift is really special. Today I am sharing one of my favorite gifts I am making: detox bath in a jar.
I have recently come across many detox bath ideas and all of the healing benefits they can offer. I decided to try some of the ingredients I had on hand from a few I have seen. I decided even if it doesn’t help me, no harm done and I got 40 minutes of relax time which is a rare treat for me as a stay at home mom.
My Crazy Blessed Life!
