Smooth hands in the winter…Is it possible?

I actually think it is. I’ve tried a lot of different lotions but nothing has really stood out. I read that the backs of our hands have thinner skin and therefore, can take on the crepe paper look. During these crazy times it has been exacerbated with the use of alcohol based hand sanitizers (ask me which one I use that doesn’t have the harshness of so many others). Plus, add to the mix the exposure to colder weather. So the article I was reading said to try Sweet Almond Oil. This oil has antioxidant vitamin E which boosts collagen production; which in turn should boost the production of thicker and firmer skin. Plus the nut has linoleic acid which helps plump up deflated-looking skin. Here’s how to use it: I am going to add some of my skin loving essential oils like Patchouli, Jasmine, or Neroli. There are a lot of different ones to choose from; I just have these so I’m giving them a try. Put a dime-size amount of Almond Oil in your palm. (Optional) Add a few drops of essential oils. And then massage it onto your hands twice a day. You should see a difference within a month. I’m going to give it a try. Anyone with me?

How I Got Here

HOMETOWN: Kent, WA and Gold Canyon, AZ

After 30+ years in healthcare, I felt like a hypocrite. I knew better. I was overweight. I was not active, at all. I was having more and more pain and I was having fairly extreme mood swings (Getting older is great, right?). I just wasn’t doing the things I had enjoyed in the past. And getting older really frightened me.

About that time, I was introduced to a new way of thinking. In my heart I knew that we have a lot of influence in our health and how we feel. I just wasn’t acting on it. I began to look at the lifestyle I was living. I became more aware of the natural alternatives including what I ate, products I used, and what I was “treating” myself with. We started switching out the old for the new and more natural.

It’s been a process but it has been a game changer for us. I feel back in control of my health, physically and mentally. I realize I have the option of turning to a natural choice first, whether it is for cleaning, laundry, personal care, health support, or even skin care. The feeling of "I've got this" when I look at my stash of natural products. My husband and I have been able to eliminate almost all of the toxic chemicals in our home. I still fully believe there is a place for conventional medicine and of course we still need many of the products on the market. But it just makes sense to me to try something more natural first. It’s hard to quantify feeling better all the way around. But it’s true….we do.

So are you ready to take ownership of your health? I can promise you it is empowering and can be a game changer for you as well. I’m convinced that it’s never too late. Let’s do this. And let’s do it together!
