With Thanksgiving only weeks away, things are starting to get busy around here. Some people have even used the words “Christmas shopping,” which I refuse to acknowledge until after I have had my turkey and cranberry sauce.
For many people the thought of spending long amounts of time with family can be a little stressful, so be sure to take some time to pamper yourself while continuing in that Holiday spirit. For those who missed the Macgyver reference.
Here are some recipes I found around the web that not only are organic, healthy and good to eat, they are also rejuvenating when used on your body
Cranberry Savory Facial Wash (Recipe found at Spaindex.com):
1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, crushed
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cranberries
Steep the dried savory in boiling water in a small bowl, for fifteen minutes. Strain the liquid and set it aside. Puree the cranberries in a blender, and strain the fruit from the liquid. Discard the fruit, and save the juice. Combine the savory water and the cranberry juice, soak into cotton pads, or a fine textured washcloth, and press against your face for fifteen minutes, avoiding the eye area. Remove pads or cloth and rinse with warm water.
Relax your tired feet with a Chamomile-Rosemary Footbath (Recipe found at Opossom Sally’s Goldenmean):
You will need:
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons chamomile flowers
1/2 cup rosemary flowers
Steep the above for ten minutes, and soak feet.
Soothe yourself with a Chamomile Compress (Recipe found at PDR Health) :
Pour 1-1/2 cups of hot water over 2 teaspoonfuls of Chamomile.
Cover, steep for 15 minutes, then strain.
Soak a cloth in the lukewarm water and apply to sore muscles.
