Milk and Honey Bath Soak

I know that I have posted this soak at some point. It's one

of my favorites! Keeping up with self care moving

from On Fire post.

Cleopatra used this soak frequently, so if it was good

enough for her then we should definitely love it.

So milk contains lactic acid, which is an alpha-hydroxy acid.

AHA's have been part of an ongoing craze of the skincare

industry for several years. They are either sourced from

natural ingredients such as milk or they are synthesised

in a laboratory. AHA's penetrate the top layers of the

skin to slough off dead skin cells.

Exfoliation stimulates the skin and healthy cells are

regenerated. Using AHA's in your skincare allows, the skin

to rejuvenate itself more quickly.

I love adding milk and honey to any type of skin care.

I love this bath, I turn on some "quiet" music and soak for

at least 20 minutes. This is a perfect soak on your

"queen days" because you are still taking care of

yourself during this soak.

You need 2T of honey and a half cup of milk.

You want to take a small saucepan, warm the milk

up on low and make sure you dissolve the honey

(don't boil). It is recommended that you only do this

soak no more than 2 times a week. You should also wash

prior to this if you plan on actually showering, this is

a soak to take care of your skin and to relax.

After you soak gently rub your skin with a damp

washcloth to remove dead skin cells and rinse your body.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
