Feel Great!

I came across this article by Denise Austin and I thought it was worth mentioning. This article comes at a perfect time for me because I have been so busy and I'm sure you have been too.  Things around the house or Office have lots their place and you're in over your head.  Gosh, I hate that feeling. 
I hope it helps you the way it is helping me.  
Feel Great!


Clear Out the Clutter

Keeping your home clean and free of clutter is a key component to healthy living. Clutter builds up quickly; most people don't even realize that they're pack rats until they start going through closets and realize they have shoes they haven't worn in a decade or piles of newspapers dating back to 2000!

If this is you, it's time to declutter your home. Remember the old adage "Cluttered home, cluttered mind"? Rejuvenate your peace and well-being by vowing to clear up the clutter. To decide whether something is worth keeping or not:

• Go room by room, tidying each room completely before moving on.

• Establish zones or boxes for trash, recycling, charity, sentimental or monetary value, and undecided items.

• If an item is going into the sentimental box, ask yourself what you plan to do with it. Will you give it to your children or a friend? Is it really worth keeping? For example, do you think your child will want your fifth-grade report card?

• If you think an item has monetary value, consider having it appraised. You may learn it has none, or you might decide to sell it for some extra green!

• For items in the undecided box, give yourself a deadline. If you do nothing with the items by your next decluttering session (say, in three to six months), consider tossing or donating them to charity.

Remember, coming home to a clean and clutter-free space will leave you feeling calm and relaxed. Embrace the concept — you'll be glad you did.

Merry Christmas nd a Hppy and Healthy New You

Did you know...During winter, the environment is constantly challenging the skin's ability to maintain its moisture and stay soft? Low humidity in the air increases skin's dryness, and wearing heavy clothes leaves less room for the skin to breathe. Even long, warm showers can dry out the skin and deplete its natural oils. All of these factors make it important to rid the skin of dead, dry cells through regular exfoliation, revealing new, supple skin. Once the skin is clear of the dead, dry cells, moisturizing will maintain that smooth, silky feel.

Tip for dry winter skin

The loss of your skin’s natural oils. Washing your hands and showering frequently can actually strip your skin of its natural oils. One of the best ways to combat dry, itchy skin and keep your skin moist and supple is to moisturize it immediately after you wash your hands or take a shower. Moisturizers work by sealing moisture into your skin, so just pat your skin partially dry with a towel — don’t rub skin dry as this can remove your skin’s protective oils — and apply a moisturizing lotion to your damp skin.
