Aromatherapy

Lets talk about aromatherapy....... Sure I'd heard of it and wondered about it.... but I thought that it was about feel good fragrance. But, my youngest daughter is working now and she suffers greatly from migraines. So one night she came home and told me about this gal she works with and how she put some peppermint oil on her temples and her headache got better so she could work. Then a week or so later she dropped something on her foot here at home and she went to work and the same lady put some lavender essential oil on her foot and the bruise actually got better. Truly, I was surprised and well for me anything that helps her migraines is worth looking in to and trying. So, I bought a couple of essential oil from the health food store and I got some wintergreen essential oil and almond carrier oil and tired that for the pain in my joints due to fibromyalgia and to my amazement it helped! I also tried anise for sore muscles. So I have ordered a few more essential oils that I feel are a higher quality and I'm reading and learning about essential oils. Oh, I have to also tell you that I burned my hand cooking and applied lavender 'neat' which means just plain not in a carrier oil and it soothed it and also it did not make a blister and it's healing really nicely now.
I would love to hear your comments as to what you have tried or your thoughts on this subject

Yeah!

Yes, I know I am funny. But I saw this insulated tumbler at Starbuck's about two weeks ago and really wanted it but thought ok do I really NEED this. So I came home and thought about it and decided I did NEED it :) A few days later went to buy it and it was sold out, I could not find one anywhere I looked, I even checked Starbucks online and no luck. Oh sure there was one on ebay but I am not going to pay $30.00 + 8.00 shipping for it. So I was whining and stuff, and my daughter was able to locate one for me YEAH! So here it is :) I know silly but cool cup huh?

Apron sightings

While shopping with my daughter I spotted some aprons. She laughed when I brought out my cell phone to take a picture. I told her , hey see your Mom was ahead of the trend last year when I started sewing aprons, well, that didn't help ;) So here is a picture from World Market the aprons ranged from 19.99 to 24.99 the black and white one even had a flounce!

The Day before Mother's Day

Today is the day before Mother's Day and I spent the day with my daughter, my grown daughter :) We went out shopping and then to lunch at Bahama Breeze, YUM ! It was good to just spend the day with her. I'm so proud and glad she is my daughter. I love you.
