My Recent Natural Health & Beauty Findings

I am so excited to share some of my natural health & beauty findings with you! In fact, when I travel, I am on a hunt for natural products!

While I was waiting to get a massage at the Spa Shiki at the Lake of the Ozarks, I decided to check out their Natural Supplements and their Inhalation tubes caught my attention.

In fact, the Inhalation tubes caught my attention because I love aromatherapy and the affects that it has on the body. The inhalation tube that I bought was for mental clarity. All that is required is to simply waive the tube in front of my nose and inhale.

 I decided to purchase the mental clarity inhalation tube because I tend to have very busy days and half way through the day...I can use a Mental BOOST! 


For more information about inhalation, visit http://www.MyRainbowOfHealth.com.

After several hours at the Spa Shiki, we stopped by the Cosmetics Store, because I was on the hunt for some natural skin care products and I discovered that the Cosmetics store sold Origins; my favorite skin care product.

I love Origins products because they are all natural and very gentle on my skin. Moreover, I have very sensitive skin and Origins products seems to be a great match for my skin type. When I was in the Cosmetics store I noticed a trial size kits of Origins White tea facial cleanser and moisturizers.

I decided to give the product a try and I loved it. In fact, my skin was so refreshed after using the cleanser and the moisturizers. Try Origins Today!

My last stop was at the bath and body store. Again I was on the hunt for some all natural beauty products and I discovered the Vanilla Verbena Stress reducing body Wash with essential oils.

After a day of shopping, I took a nice hot bath with the Vanilla Verbena body wash and it was a relaxing experience.

This blog post was not intended to promote any particular product, however, it is intended to inspire you to go natural when shopping for health and beauty products!

I look forward to your feedback about this blog post.

Are You Watching Those Calories?

Two weeks before writing this blog post, my husband bought me a treadmill. I was so excited, because one of my goals for this year was to get a treadmill. To be quite honest with you, I do not like to work out at the gym. In fact, I prefer to work out at home or walk the neighborhood to burn calories or to reduce stress.

Shortly before I wrote this blog post, I was walking on the treadmill and watching the amount of calories that I was burning as I walked on the treadmill. Moreover, as I watched the numbers of carbs and calories burned increase on my treadmill panel, I realized that it is more work to burn off the calories than it is to attain them.

I began to think about the number of calories that are in a bag of chips or a candy bar and I thought about how much time it takes to consume the calories in our foods. For example, I love to eat granola bars and an average granola bar is less than 150 calories.

I discovered that when I walk two miles per hour for at least 30- minutes a day on the treadmill, I will burn 110 calories. Then I wondered how much weight I will lose if I burned 500 calories a week or more?

Have you really thought about how many calories that you consume on a daily basis? Are you moving your body enough to burn off those extra calories?  Have you thought about the affects that calories have on your bodies? Do you have a goal to lose weight or to simply maintain your weight?

According to Jeff Lindstrom, a professional trainer, "When you consume too many calories, you simply do not have the metabolism to burn it off and this leads to weight gain." This is why it is vital that you keep an close eye on the amount of calories that you consume on a daily basis.

A 2009 long term-study published in "The New England Journal of Medicine" found that the fundamental rule of calories in and calories out can be successful in weight management. If you eat 1,500 calories a day, you must expend 1,500 calories a day in order to stay at the same weight.

How many calories should you consume on a daily basis to maintain a healthy weight? 

 Dine Wise.com Advisory Board of Food Experts recommends these caloric guidelines:

* 1,500 calories per day for women who want to lose weight

* 1,800 calories per day for women maintaining their weight
* 1,800 calories per day for smaller stature men who want to lose weight
* 2,000 calories per day for smaller men maintaining their weight
* 2,200 calories per day recommended for men who want to lose weight

I hope that you have been inspired to pay close attention to the amount of calories that you consume on a daily basis and develop a plan to move your body to burn off those extra calories. Check out the articles below for more calorie burning tips and tools!

Looking forward to reading your comments about this post.

A Natural Remedy For Dry Skin

Do you suffer with dry skin? If so, I know how you feel. In fact, I've had dry skin since I was a teenager and I have found only one solution to my dry itchy skin and that is......."Lye" Soap!

I was recently out shopping in a local health store and found a bar of Lye Soap. The package around the soap included the words, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR DRY SKIN. Seeing those words, influenced me to buy the soap, without even questioning the price.

The manufacturer of the soap is GRANDMA'S Pure & Natural. If you are looking for a great "All Natural Soap" for dry skin, eczema, acne or psoriasis, consider using Lye Soap.

My first experience with using Lye soap began back in the summer of 2011. I must say that it was the best soap that I had ever used on my skin. In fact, I did not need to use lotion, oils or moisturizers after bath with Lye soap.

Using Lye soap helps to soothe your dry skin, however, it is best to get to the root cause of your dry skin. In the WEB MD article, What's Causing Your Dry Skin problem, the author wrote: "Dry air is probably the most common cause of dry skin, especially during the winter," says Kenet, "It draws the moisture right out of the skin." Dry skin during winter even gets its own name: winter itch."

I have developed a obsession for natural skin products. In fact, when I find natural soap, I buy it!  Check out my Natural Skin Care Findings on a Trip to Siver Dollar City Last Summer!

7-Tips For A Healthier Thanksgiving

As my husband and I shopped for Thanksgiving dinner today, I was very selective of my ingredients. In fact, over the past few years, I have learned how to make healthier choices in the grocery store and I want to inspire you to make healthier choices for your family this holiday season.

This Thanks Giving,  my menu includes: Mustard Greens, Sweet Potatoes, Turkey (for the meat lovers), Black eyed peas, macaroni, potato salad, Stuffing (I call it dressing), Cakes, pies, spaghetti and drinks.

About five years prior to writing this blog post, my Thanks Giving meal also included Chitterlings and Ham. I am so glad that we decided to cut the pork!

Just in case you are wondering, how you can make the holidays at your home much healthier? It's easy, choose healthier ingredients!!!

I am going to share with you, some all natural and healthy ingredients that are low-cost and are healthy for your family:

1. Replace the white sugar with Organic or Raw Sugar.
2. Instead of using seasoning salt, use Sea Salt, red onions, spices and green peppers to add flavor to your foods.
3. If you have to add meat to your Greens, beans or Cabbage, consider turkey necks. Ham Hocks are high in fat!
4. For those egg lovers, choose organic or vegetarian fed eggs for your cakes and pies.
5. Don't forget the milk. If you want low-fat cakes and pies, consider Almond or Coconut milk. If you don't like plant based milk, choose organic milk.
6. Are you a butter lover? Consider using a soy based butter like smart balance. It has no animal fat and still taste like butter!
7. Spaghetti lovers! If you just have to include meat in your spaghetti, use ground turkey. It is much lower in fat than Ground beef.

Be sure to Keep the Hot Foods Hot and the Cold Foods Cold!

I hope that you have been inspired to make healthier choices this holiday season. In fact, your decision to choose healthier ingredients will have a great impact on your family's health!

Happy Thanks Giving to you and your family!
