Great for people who suffer from chronic pain. For an additional benefit add apple cider vinegar to water when running the bath.
You Will Need
4 cups Epsom salt
1/2 cup sea salt (optional)
25-30 drops of essential oils
3/4 cup baking soda
Large Bowl
Airtight containers
To Make
Mix the Epsom salt, sea salt, essential oils, and baking soda in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to airtight containers, such as a small glass jar for gifting. You can use any desired scent in your bath salts, but first, make sure to research the type of scent of essential oil that you’ll be using to ensure it’s safe for the bath.

You will need:
YIELDS 12 oz.
1 cup fine sea salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
Bowl
15-20 drops citrus essential oils
Jar
To Make:
Mix together the sea salt and the grapeseed oil in a bowl or jar. Add essential oils, and mix well. Transfer to a jar for storing or gifting. As you use the scrub, the oil and salt may separate: give a quick stir before using it. To use, gently massage a bit of the salt scrub onto wet skin using a circular motion. Rinse with warm water.
Notes:
Citrus essential oils can cause possible skin sensitivity, particularly in sunlight.
If you’re pregnant or taking prescription medications, please consult your physician before using essential oils.

You Will Need
To Use
Dampen face with warm water. Apply small amount of oil to your hands and rub it all over your face, focusing on areas with heavy makeup. Rinse with water and wipe off your face with a dark cloth.
Note
You can use any carrier oil for this method. Certain oils work better for each skin type. Grapseeed or jojoba oil work great for once-prone skin, while sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, or olive oil work great for normal skin. Play around with the carrier oil to see which works best for you.
Please keep the healthcare workers in your mind, they give their lives to help those fighting this nasty virus. Melinda

I wish everyone a safe and healthy holiday season. Your friendship, walking the journey with me, your loving and many times hilarious comments, just being there…..I deeply appreciate you and look forward to what we share in 2020.

If you’ve watched daytime television you’ve heard every get rich quick scheme, start your own business and make $3,000 this month………I’m getting off track. I enjoy making money! I keep it simple by making money on purchases I’m already making. There are tons of apps that do coupons, check prices and anything imaginable if you want to be a SUPER SHOPPER.
I use two apps, Rakuten.com formerly Ebates and Honey.com. Both are installed in my browser and recognize when I shop at one of their partners. An Rakuten.com pop-up ask you to activate by clicking and it shows % of sale received on purchase.
Rakuten.com is my long-term favorite, it’s easy and they partner with all the places I shop. To date I’ve earned approximately $800.00. Rakuten.com pays out every quarter for your previous purchases. The big money days are when their partners offer double percent back and 10% days make me very happy. Small sales add up over the year.
Honey.com works based on finding coupon codes for your purchase. It runs thru a long list of coupon codes to see if one applies. You’ll see a pop up that says there are coupons codes. You click and it does it trick. I have not used Honey.com very long but received free shipping on several purchases.
*FRUGAL FIND
THREDUP.COM
ThredUp.com is a site for women’s clothing, shoes and accessesories. You can find new items with tags, almost new and used, all priced accordingly. You can also clean out your closet and send items to ThredUp to sale. They also accept some designer items for resale.
USE MY REFFERRAL LINK AND RECEIVE $20 CREDIT WITH FIRST ORDER.

If you are a Prime Member at Amazon.com you have a world of free goodies offered movies, bookes…..on and on. I rely on Amazon.com since I don’t drive and Prime Members get two-day free shipping.
The best discovery I’ve made is the Amazon Prime Member Card. It’s a credit card that can only be used at Amazon.com, it’s offered with no fees. You receive 5% back on every purchase you make on Amazon.com. WOW!!!!!
To give my husband down time on weekends, we get our groceries delivered. Prime Members get free delivery. The amount of time saved has surprised him, the money has brought a smile to my face. The grocery section is Amazon Fresh, they have thousands of products including fresh bread.
Another up side to the delivery Amazon Fresh uses frozen bottled water to keep items cold. Each week we receive 6-8 bottles of water free.
If you really want to save money, work all the coupon apps and be a Super Shopper. You have to be organized to handle that many coupons and will need lots of extra storage space.
Happy Shopping!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “dream.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
Dream or dreaming would seem like an easy topic to write about but dreaming comes in many forms. Dreams I have for the world, for my friends, dreams I have for family and not least dreams I have for myself. I believe one should dream, set a bar higher from where you are and visualize it with all your heart. The problem with dreaming is some people never get past dreaming about something instead of doing something to make the dream come true.
In my early 20’s, I wasn’t meeting the type of men I wanted to have a long term relationship with. I dreamed of a nice man to share a respectful relationship with but it was not happening. I had to make a change, get way out of my box and go to where I thought nice men would be. I enrolled in college courses, mostly art, attended wine tastings even though I knew nothing about wine and I went to art galleries to see what my classes were talking about when it came to masterpieces.
I’m not a rocket scientist, it didn’t take long, I met professional men, some I dated, others became good friends and most of all I learned a lot about myself. You have to do something to make a dream come true or it just remains a dream.
