December 22, 2011 today was the first day of winter!! Dallas Fort Worth Texas Area reached a chilling 65 freakin’ degrees today. “Burr” : /
Those of you who are experiencing winter weather I’ve created a survival guide for ya.
Fighting the Common Cold
- Drink plenty of water At least 9 cups.
- Eliminate Dairy products, sugar, and fried foods to increase mucus release
- Eat plenty of steamed veggies and fresh fruits
- And my number one choice REST
Best Natural Supplements
Vitamin C: 3000 mg
Echinacea Root Tea
Leon Balm Leaf Tea
Grapefruit seed extract capsules
When Dryness Strikes Winter Skin Care:
- Avoid taking long hot baths, showers and saunas
- If taking a bath add a couple of drops of essential oils.
**Hint Hint Peppermint ** add a few drops for a little holiday cheer :)
- Avoid petroleum based moisturizer. Go Natural use unrefined oils and cocoa butter
- Avoid skin care products that contain alcohol
- Add the right amount of omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids.
You will be less likely to be prone to skin conditions such as eczema
Beat High Cost Energy Bills
- Time to lite the fire place hun!!! ;)
- Monitor the thermostat keep temperatures to at least 68 Degrees by day and 60 degrees overnight. This will save you about 236 pounds of carbon in electric and 320 pounds in gas
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday filled with warmth, peace and love!!!
