Take time to take care of yourself!

Start today by taking inventory on what you do everyday to your body or don’t do. Then agree to make one change a week. For example if you go to bed every night without removing your makeup and washing your face then make that your weeks goal. “I will remove my makeup and wash my face before bed every night for one week” or “I will exfoliate once a week to get rid of dry skin” Every week add a new change and before you know it you are becoming a healthier you!

Here is a great exfoliate with a southwestern flair

Lavender Pinon Body Scrub

½ cup raw sugar
¼ cup walnut oil
1tab. Pinon Nuts, chopped fine
1 tsp. of dried untreated Lavender or lavender oil

Stir together all ingredients until well mixed. Place in a sealed jar and use as a body scrub in shower. Damp a washcloth and a small amount of scrub using circular motions over body to remove dead skins, rinse.

Note Pinon seeds (pine nuts) are found in New Mexico and can be purchased online or in some specialty grocery stores. Hatch Chili Express has New Mexico products http://www.hatch-chile.com/default.asp
