Download or read book Organic Homemade Lotion Recipes written by Jasmine Wood and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first step in picking out the correct products and in making homemade creams and a lotion is to use something that's right for you. Depending on your age, diet and genetics you will primarily fall into one of the following 5 skin types: 1. Normal Skin The simplest to maintain normal skin has little to no oily spots, maintains regular circulation with little to no trouble spots. It's fairly elastic and looks healthy with very little make-up and attention. 2. Oily Skin Most prone to breakouts, the trouble zones are usually in the T zone of your face (forehead, nose and chin); oily skin tends to have oversized pores and can look greasy or shiny. With the right creams and proper diet its oil levels can be maintained. Oily skin tends not to have much wrinkling or aging. 3. Dry Skin Most people with dry skin feel tightness after washing their face and easily flake around the mouth and nose with dry spots. Dry skin is prone to aging and wrinkling and it's important to properly moisturize and nourish it regularly. 4. Sensitive Skin The sensitive skin type becomes irritated easily, gets red and dry spots and breaks out easily. This skin type is like a historical map - it tends to wear all of its battles for all to see. The type of creams and lotions applied on sensitive skin is extremely important as an irritation or reaction can occur with certain ingredients and chemicals. 5. Combination Skin The most common skin type in women, combination skin is both oily and dry. Combination skin tends to be dry on the cheeks and around the eyes and oily spots on the forehead and nose. IT requires more cleansing in the oily areas and sensitive creams without too much oil in the dry areas. In this guide we focus on the three extreme skin cases grouping normal, combination and sensitive into a Sensitive Category. Because combination and normal skin is the most adaptable to most products, anything created for sensitive skin will only promote health and the look of younger, suppler skin with a clear complexion. The other two are oily and dry skin types.

Bake. And even though many of Tess’s smoothies and shakes taste like dessert—Apple Pie in a Glass, Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake, or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale, anyone?—her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding. Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste: add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether— these dishes are super forgiving, so you can’t mess them up. Details on the benefits of soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients round out this nutrient-dense guide.

So dust off your machine and get ready to find your perfect blend.

Download or read book Coconuts Kettlebells written by Noelle Tarr and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieve lasting health—without cutting calories or following dieting “rules”! Instead of obsessing about the quantity of food you eat, shift your focus to the quality, say Noelle Tarr and Stefani Ruper. The popular hosts of the Well-Fed Women podcast want you to make sure you’re getting enough food so that your body has the fuel and nourishment it needs to support a healthy, long, and energetic life. Noelle and Stefani know firsthand about the ups and downs of dieting. Like many people, they have struggled with confusing and frustrating health issues such as anxiety, infertility, and hormonal imbalance—but when they discovered that the secret to improving wellness was actually more food, they ditched the calorie counters and gave their bodies the nourishment they needed to heal. In the Coconuts and Kettlebells program, you’ll eat at least 2,000 calories a day—setting a minimum intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates to ensure that your diet is full of nutrients. Noelle and Stefani identify the Big Four foods that cause the most health problems—grains, dairy, vegetable oils, and refined sugar. While many diets require you to eliminate these foods entirely, Coconuts and Kettlebells provides an easy-to-follow step-by-step system to test these foods and determine which you need to cut back on to feel better—and which you can eat without restrictions. To help you discover how your body responds to the Big Four, you’ll choose from two simple 4-week meal plans: one for Butter Lovers, people who tend to feel more satisfied eating higher ratios of fats, and one for Bread Lovers, people who tend to feel more satisfied eating higher ratios of carbs. Each meal plan comes with weekly shopping lists and instructions on how to batch cook, meal prep, and stock the pantry. In addition, you get more than 75 simple and delicious real food recipes, including: • Kale and Bacon Breakfast Skillet • Raspberry-Coconut Smoothie Bowl • Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp • Apple-Chicken Skillet • Moroccan Lamb Meatballs • Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak • Chocolate-Cherry Energy Bites • Lemon-Raspberry Mini Cheesecakes To go along with the meal plans, you’ll find three 4-week fitness plans tailored to beginner, intermediate, and advanced experience levels. Best of all, the workouts can be done anywhere—at your home or on the road—and take no more than 30 minutes each. A comprehensive whole-body program, Coconuts and Kettlebells provides the knowledge and tools you need to be healthy inside and out.

Book excerpt: In the heart of Russia, old ways of perceiving the spirits of home and nature still prevail. Fairy stories, folk art, and calendar customs carry hints of the old gods and offer a now rare way of linking human life to the landscape.

Author Cherry Gilchrist has traveled often to Russia and researched its traditional lore, gaining knowledge she interweaves into this book. She blends that first-hand knowledge with serious research to paint a lively picture of these remarkable magical traditions and their enduring power.
