Smooth Heels

SMOOTH HEELS

 Wearing open heeled sandals and flip flops can help contribute to hard and rough skin forming on the heels of your feet.  To help battle this little annoyance.  Cream you feet just before you get into bed.

Your skin relaxes and repairs better whilst you rest, so use up any old creams that you may have been bought for presents.  Even if they are hand or face creams use them on your feet.  Apply liberally and massage in well.

Silky smooth feet won’t be far away.

Uses for Chamomile

LOVELY CHAMOMILE

 This is such a lovely plant.  It can help us in so many ways.  Most of us know that it comes in the form of a tea to help us relax, but its also great to help ease indigestion too.  If your not to keen on the taste then add a little honey to sweeten.  Did you know its also great for kids?  Especially if they are not sleeping well due to teething or growing pains.  Just make the tea slightly weaker.

Its fabulous for the skin, in helping to promote healing. 

 

PUFFY EYES

You can use the used t-bags to help reduce puffy eyes.  Just make yourself a nice cup of  chamomile tea, run yourself a bath, whilst waiting for the bath to draw place the used t-bags in the fridge.  Once the bath is ready then relax in the bubbles with the chamomile bags over your eyes. 

FAIR HAIR

Place a handful of dried chamomile flower heads in a jug of boiling water and let it stew, once cooled to the touch remove the flower heads and use it as a hair rinse, it will help lighten your hair.  Use the rinse several times in one wash.

A bright, cheerful plant that also saves you money.  Enjoy
