============================================1. Make Your Skin Spa-rkle for the Fourth============================================
Skin, hidden for months under winter clothing, unofficiallybecomes exposed on July 4th weekend.
A great way to prepare the skin for this annual unveiling is witha body scrub.
Body scrubs make your skin sparkly clean. They help exfoliate thedead skin cells and allow fresh new skin cells to surface. Newskin cells have a vibrant glow compared to dead cells.
There are tons of commercial scrubs available, but why bother toshop? It's so easy to whip up your own scrub from what's in yourkitchen cabinets already.
Here's an easy scrub to make:
--Olive Oil 1/2 cup--Fine Sea Salt 1/2 cup--Lavender Essential Oil 10 drops (optional)
-Mix together, and place in clean dry jar.-Use this after you bathe or shower (but stay in tub/shower torinse off).-Place small amount in your hand.-Gently scrub in circular motion on skin.-Scrub entire body. Be gentle on, or avoid, sensitive areas.-Be careful stepping out of tub/shower, it may be slippery fromthe oil.-Pat dry with bath towel.
============================================2. Ya Gotta Love This Tip - Fr*ee 411============================================
This has nothing to do with Home Spa-ing (unless you makeyour directory assisted phone calls from your bath tub) but it'sa great tip to know.
What does it costs to dial information from your cell phone? Howabout from your home phone? Anywhere from $.75 to $1.75 percall!
Here is a phone number for information that costs younothing. It is fr*ee on your cell phone (except your cellminutes) and fr*ee on your home phone.
Dial 1-800-373-3411 (that is 1-800-F,-R,-E,-E,-4-1-1) to usedirectory assistance for looking up a phone number without beingcharged.
=======================================3. Can This Explode in Your Stomach?=======================================
Soda and Mints. Diet Coke and Mentos. Yuch.
I say, arrogantly, "Not for me. I don't eat these things anyway.These are chemical foods".
It's not unusual for an average person to eat these together.
And can this explode in your stomach? Watch this video:

By the way, this is not recommended for internal cleansing!
=====================================================4. Essential Oil Tip of the Week: Quick Burn Remedy=====================================================
Be careful of those sparklers and fireworks, and the hot,summer sun.
If you get burned from sun or fun, lavender oil is agreat "have-on-hand" home remedy (until you get medicalattention, should you need it).
In the 18th century, chemist Gattefosse, discovered thehealing properties of lavender when he inadvertently put hisburned hand in a basin. He thought the basin was water but itwas lavender oil. The burn healed quickly without scarring. Thusentered the dawn of present day French aromatherapy.
Today, use several drops of lavender on and around the affectedarea immediately after a burn. It can greatly reducesymptoms and pain and scarring. It is imperative to use atherapeutic, not perfume-grade oil.
Young Living has two wonderful lavender oils. I prefer the St.Maries lavender. It is believed to have a higher level of healingproperties then even the lavender from France. It is grown inpristine mountains of St. Maries, Idaho.
LavaDerm Cooling Mist is a must have at the beach. It helpscombat that hot and burned feeling from the sun. It containslavender and aloe vera.
You can order the highest quality therapeutic oil from YoungLiving. See your Young Living distributor or go to:http://tinyurl.com/aenfp
===================================================5. Help This Home Spa-er===================================================
Any advice from you Home Spa-ers out there for Paula, a newreader? Here's her email:
"Hello Marilee!
I am new to your ezine and love it! Thank You!
I have a question maybe you can help with. Recently I got theidea to incorporate essential oils in ceremonies/rituals such ashouse blessings, sacred unions, new businesses/ventures etc.This would be by diffusing, spritzers or any other means that isappropriate. Any suggestions as to where I can find that infoand/or others that do a similar service?"
From Marilee:
"This is a great idea, Paula. Using essential oils in ceremony isa great way to seal contracts. They bring energy, good sense andgood scents, to events and ceremony.
My friend, Linda Smith, authored a book I would like to recommendto you called "Healing Oils, Healing Hands". It is full ofhistory of how essential oils were used in biblical times forrituals and blessings by the process of anointing. She describesmany techniques and applications for the oils. You can order herbook from her website http://www.htspiritualministry.com.
Linda also teaches an extremely popular nationwide AromatherapyCertification program. I highly recommend it. Go to her websiteabove to find an upcoming training near you."

=========================================7. HSL's Joke, or Cute Quote, of the Week=========================================
The Fourth of July weekend was coming up, and the nursery schoolteacher took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism.
"We live in a great country," she said. "One of the things weshould be happy is that, in this country, we are all free."
One little boy came walking up to her from the back of the room.He stood with his hands on his hips and said. . . ."I'm not free. I'm four."
