1. Forget to Bring Your Shopping Bags?
======================================

It never fails. . .

. . . when I go grocery shopping (usually
Whole Foods, Wegman's, or Essene in Philadelphia)
I get to the checkout counter, slap my forehead
and say "oh shucks! I forgot to bring in my bags!"

I left them in my car!

Do you do this too?

Then I try to think what I can do to help me
remember the next time. . .

. . . Post-It on my dashboard?
. . . cell phone ring reminder?
. . . tie the bags to my purse?

Well - this little slide presentation has helped me
to remember to bring my bags with me. . .it has had
such an impact on me.

For example, I learned that less than 1% of bags are recycled
and it costs more to recycle a bag than to produce a new one.

After seeing this. . .I will NEVER forget to carry in my bags!

and you will always think about how our waste affects the earth.

BTW. . . here's an "eco-nurse-y" tip on how to
get rid of medications (the FDA recommends flushing
them down the toilet. . . but what is that doing to
our waters?)

--Crush them and add with either kitty litter,
or coffee grounds and seal and dispose in
your regular trash.


Here's another thought. . . maybe a little "Brain Power" (YL
essential oil blend) will help me to remember too, eh?

It's a great essential oil blend that is high
in 'sesquiterpenes' that help to oxygenate the brain!

2. Essential Oil Tip: Natural Cellulite Treatment
=================================================

Cellulite is an accumulation of clusters of old fat cells that
solidify and harden - and the surrounding tissue loses its
elasticity.

Not only is it unsightly, but it is also unhealthy.
It's unhealthy because toxins and petrochemicals tend to
accumulate in fat cells.

So when we work to get rid of our cellulite - we do so for our
beauty and health!

Here is a great recipe for a bath that can help dissolve
cellulite. But remember, bathing alone won't do it - exercise,
massages (even self massage) and plenty of water helps!

Cellulite Bath

3 drops orange
3 drops rosemary
3 drops cypress

--Place drops in 2 tablespoons of Epsom Salts
--Mix together
--Place in warm bath and soak!

Can also use Bath Gel Base instead of salts

After bath - dry off- massage cellulite area with
Cel-Lite magic.


This video shows you the recipe (not MY cellulite! ha ha)

4. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that
I take her someplace expensive....so, I took her
to a gas station. . .(that's when the fight started!)
