The world through my rose colored glasses

Lately I’ve been working on my mini business site that caters to those of us who need to pamper themselves, take better care of themselves, and want to do it the old fashioned natural way. The name of the company is Essence of Nature and you can find it on line at Essenceofnatureonline.com. I’m trying to cater to the pagan community as well as the granolas who are interested in all natural care products. I’m also trying to up the interest in the site by adding natural tips for everyday life. Simple little easy things everyone can do to improve the way they feel and look. So I’m giving out some tips here. If you have any you would like to share please feel free to add them.

This week’s tip is for all the gardeners out there, and anyone else who has dry or calleoused hands. Its a tip I got from my uncle and its a super quick fix for the hands. Take a spoonful of sugar, and a squirt of liquid hand soap. Rub your hands together vigorously for thirty seconds. Then rinse of your hands and pat dry. I say pat dry because it allows the excess moisture to soak into your skin. This little trick takes care of dry flaky skin and leaves your hands soft and supple. Try it out!

As I sit by my window I see the western winds blow. I watch as the leaves turn over to the impending rain. I hear the mighty thunder Gods sharpening their thunderbolts. I feel the old war wounds aching, my skin coming alive with the electricity in the air. It is time for one of my favorite wonders of nature. As a child I used to watch the storms through a pane of window glass a fingertip’s touch away. In college I used to run and dance in the storms. When older I painted my body with the images of thunderstorms. An awe inspiring site, death and life in the same blessed kiss.
