Transform Toenail Fungus for Pretty Beach Feet! / May 26, 2010


Transform Toenail Fungus for Pretty Beach Feet!

YUCK

It's an acronym for the common symptoms of nail infections and also how we feel when we see our nails turning on us in front of our eyes!





Y Yellow discoloration of the nail bed

U Under the nail bed, a buildup of skin

C Cracking of the nail

K Keratinization, or thickening of the nail


What can we do at home to get rid of these symptoms or prevent them from happening?

Let's First Address the Entire Body as a System

If a fungus is on a toe, it's highly likely that it's present somewhere else in
the body. If you've ever had yeast infections, athletes feet, or jock itch for
example, you will be apt to get fungal infections on the nails. Make sure the
foods that you are eating are more alkaline to balance the body so the unwanted
fungus can't take up residence. More alkaline foods are fruits and vegetables.
Stay away from acid producing foods, such as sugar, refined carbohydrates, coffee
and alcohol.

There are certain "anti-fungal" foods you can eat such as:


  • Avocado

  • Broccoli

  • Brussels Sprouts

  • Cabbage

  • Cinnamon

  • Cloves

  • Collards

  • Lemon

  • Garlic

  • Kale

  • Onions

  • Coconut

and "anti-fungal" supplements:




For local application...sure, there are over the counter topical creams. Often they are full of chemicals you may want to shy away from. More natural topical applications would be oils: therapeutic essential oils, vitamin E oil, castor oil, and Vicks VapoRub.


Some ways to use these:

Castor Oil: "Horny" Toe Nail is a common problem especially in the elderly. It's a toenail that is large, angled, and difficult to trim. Soak feet in Epsom salts for 15 minutes every night, and then wrap toe in a castor oil soaked gauze. Put a sock on.


Therapeutic Essential Oils Use one of these directly on the affected toe:

  • Oregano - Melaleuca (Tea Tree)

  • Mix tea tree with lavender

  • Mix tea tree with mountain savory. You can
    use about 5 drops of these oils. Use directly on the site, or dilute with Vitamin E oil. Use the Young Living Blends of Melrose, Thieves, and Purification.


Vicks VapoRub as a remedy? When Vicks hit the market decades ago, people were using it for everything, including fungal nail infections.

The magic of Vicks in the eucalyptus! (But I say why use Vicks when we have our Young Living Oils!)
Vicks has essential oils in it. Essential oils are naturally anti-microbial and can get rid of any unwanted microbes in their environment, including fungus.

Now Make Them Pretty


Paint them anyway. But be sure to take off your nail polish regularly and reapply. It gives you the opportunity to follow its healing course. You have to pay more attention to your toenails when you are working on getting rid of a fungus. Cleaning, soaks, oil applications, and regularly taking off your polish and reapplying it will take time, stay with it, its worth it.

Is Cellulite Unhealthy? May 19, 2010





- Is Cellulite Unhealthy?

- Inner Circle Happenings







Is Cellulite Unhealthy?




Cellulite is neither a disease nor a sign of unhealthiness.

Cellulite is defined as a fatty deposit causing a dimpled or uneven appearance, as around the thighs and buttocks. The fat, which is very close to the surface of the skin, pushes against connective
tissues in the skin to cause a dimpled appearance, called peau d'orange in French (orange skin).

Anyone can develop cellulite - even babies, though, on babies it is considered cute. Cellulite is just fatty tissue, the same as ordinary fat. Fat cells in the body generally are a depository of toxins. Minimizing the intake of toxins, and employing frequent detoxification measures can benefit health and improve the appearance of cellulite.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the appearance of cellulite can be controlled by the following factors:

  • Diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and fiber

  • Plenty of fluids, especially water

  • Balanced weight with no fluctuation

  • Regular exercise

  • No smoking

There are so many lotions and potions claiming to get rid of cellulite and firm tissue. One of the best ways to get rid of cellulite that I have personally experienced with great results is Bikram Yoga. Bikram Yoga, also known as Hot Yoga because it is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F with 40% humidity, reduced my cellulite significantly. The classes are about 90 minutes and include 26 postures plus two breathing exercises.

Here's another tip for cellulite reduction:

--When you drink water throughout the day, put a drop of grapefruit essential oil in your glass

Avocado For Your Liver, Face, and Hair / May 12, 2010



- Avocado For Your Liver, Face, and Hair

- Trainings and Events with Marilee

- F'ree Teleseminar (see details below)

- Inner Circle Happenings







Avocado For Your Liver, Face, and Hair


Avocados are amazing. They are great for your liver (read why below), and can add luster to your hair and a sparkle to your face. They were once a luxury food reserved for the tables of royalty, but now people from all walks of life enjoy California avocados around the world.


Here are some avocado facts:

  • They are a fruit not a vegetable

  • Sodium and cholesterol free

  • Have 5 grams of good fat

  • California produces about 90% of the nation's
    avocado crop

  • San Diego County is the Avocado Capital
    of the U.S., producing 60% of all the avocados grown in California.

  • California avocados rank among the lowest
    of all fruits and vegetables for pesticide use.


Why they are good for your liver:


Avocados are a good source of glutathione. Glutathione is made up of amino acids that function as antioxidants and are very supportive to the liver. Glutathione levels
decrease with age therefore it is beneficial to get natural sources of glutathione
when possible.






Other ways to use avocados and experience its benefits:

  • Nourish and hydrate your hair with avocados:

    • Mash an avocado

    • Mix with one-tablespoon lemon juice

    • Add one teaspoon of sea salt

    • Add one tablespoon of pure aloe until
      it becomes a paste.

    • Comb through hair with your fingertips

    • Cover hair with a plastic shower cap
      or bag, and wrap a towel around it to seal in the treatment.

    • Leave in for 20-30 minutes

    • Unwrap your newly conditioned hair.

    • Rinse, shampoo and rinse again for soft,
      luxurious hair!

  • Tighten and moisturize your face with avocados:


    • Mash the meat of the avocado into a
      creamy texture

    • Apply it thoroughly on face and neck

    • Leave for 15 - 20 minutes

    • Rinse with warm water, then use cold
      water to close the pores.

What Moms Really Want May 5, 2010




What Moms Really Want





What Kind of
Mom Are You?

(or what kind of Mom are you buying for?)



Hallmark, as you can imagine, does tons of research on this topic. They found what mothers love to receive from their husbands and children are things she wants but won't purchase for herself.

Here's a list of Hallmark's findings on what mothers want along with other great gift ideas:

--Anything made, or selected, by their child or grandchild.

--A day of no chores or cooking.

--Time spent with the kids (if they no longer live in the home).

--Something she mentioned in passing, and they remembered (shows they were really listening).

--Pampering (waiting on her, massage, spa day).

--A Mother’s Day card she will keep forever(Hallmark, of course!)

--Sleep

--The best of everything for her family

--No dishes in the sink

--More time for family relationships

--Being told how much she's appreciated

--A gift with emotional or sentimental value

Moms told Hallmark researchers that they especially don't wantto have to tell their husbands and/or children what they want; rather, they want them to figure it out.

Gift giving for Moms or Grandmoms can be made easy if you can figure out what kind of woman she is according to a fun website gifts.com

Here are some of the categories:

--Achiever
--Adventurer
--Country Clubber
--Domestic Diva
--Hipster
--Super Mom
--Thinker
--Natural Woman
--Trendenista
--Urban Sophisticate

Pick the woman, then pick the gift! (These are great gift ideas even beyond Mothers Day)
