1. Make your Skin Spa-rkle for the Fourth
==========================================

Skin, hidden for months under winter clothing,
officially becomes exposed on July 4th weekend.

A great way to prepare the skin for this annual
unveiling is with a body scrub.

Body scrubs make your skin sparkly clean. They
help exfoliate the dead skin cells and allow
fresh new skin cells to surface. New skin cells
have a vibrant glow compared to dead cells.

There are tons of commercial scrubs available,
but why bother to shop? It's so easy to whip
up your own scrub from what's in your kitchen
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 (or
other of your favorite essential oil(s)

-Mix together, and place in clean dry jar.
-Use this after you bathe or shower (but stay in tub/shower to
rinse 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 from
the oil.
-Pat dry with bath towel.

2. Essential Oil Tip: Quick Burn Remedies
=================================================

Be careful of those sparklers and fireworks, and the hot,
summer sun.

If you get burned from sun or fun, lavender oil is a
great "have-on-hand" home remedy.

In the 18th century, chemist Gattefosse, discovered the
healing properties of lavender when he inadvertently put his
burned hand in a basin. He thought the basin was water but it
was lavender oil. The burn healed quickly without scarring. Thus
entered the dawn of present day French aromatherapy.

Today, use several drops of lavender on and around the affected
area immediately after a burn. It can greatly reduce
symptoms and pain and scarring. It is imperative to use a
therapeutic, 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 healing properties than
even the lavender from France. It is grown in
pristine mountains of St. Maries, Idaho.

LavaDerm Cooling Mist is a must have at the beach. It helps
combat that hot and burned feeling from the sun. It contains
lavender and aloe vera.

Here is a video on how to use Lavaderm:

3. Fun July 4th Tip: Non-alcoholic "Health Shots" you can do. . .
================================================================

Impress your friends and family as you show up to your
July 4th barbeque with a delicious bottle of a "healthy"
red juice that you can do "shots" with. . .

Ningxia Red has so many health benefits and it's the only
"Nutrient Infusion" and juice that has orange and lemon
essential oils.

Here are the other ingredients.. . . . . .

(Please note how there are no "Junk Juices" in
this (like apple, grape, or pear - compare
THAT with other juices!)

Wolfberry: the miracle superfood; supports multiple biosystems;
Blueberry: contains ultra-high levels of antioxidants
Pomegranate: supports cardiovascular health
Apricot: revered for longevity support
Raspberry: contains ellagic acid, a DNA protectant

Here's a quick video of the "Ningxia Red Shot Bar" at
YLEO convention!

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

The Fourth of July weekend was coming up, and the nursery school
teacher took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism.

"We live in a great country," she said. "One of the things we
should be happy about 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."
