TODAY: Have a beautiful Happy Thanksgiving and be careful

I want to wish everyone a awesome Thanksgiving...
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be careful, it is a crazy time of the year, people rushing around trying to get things done, wondering if they will have enough money to pay for and get all the things they need and want...Today, out in front of my little boutique a car pulled out in front of a U-Haul and got T-boned, the driver died and the passengers' body was crushed, it affected me so much....you know the poor kids driving the U-Haul (even though it wasn't their fault) will live with this the rest of their life and the people in the car (the one who survived) their life will never, ever be the same... There is nothing, so important, in this world worth rushing around for or that should keep us in a fearful, angry, sad or "what am I going to do" place. The fact of the matter is every last second is gone, so try not to carry the woes and worries of the past with you, those kind of thoughts weigh heavy in our hearts and minds and can be the one thing that diverts our attention from what we are doing at the moment, giving rise to a potential accident. Remember, with every new breath there is new hope and opportunity to turn things around or make changes.... Each one of us, if we try, can make this world just a tiny bit better by keeping our spirits up and knowing that nothing lasts forever. Slow down, keep calm, be bright in your thoughts, actions and words, it does make a difference. And maybe, just maybe, because you decide to do this, you will be the reason for someone else having a difficult time, to do it too.

I wish you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving...

GINA GINA

Today: Our "VERY IMPORTANT" Skin

Did you know the largest organ of our body is our "Skin".  It protects us against pathogens, regulates our body and protects our inner organs. Our skin is waterproof, so essential nutrients are not washed out and is a natural pathway for Vitamin D to get into our bodies. It detoxifies the body thru perspiration and protects us against viruses and bacterias entering in. Our skin has been called "the third kidney" because it is so important to eliminating waste and toxins from our bodies.

Skin is a "living organism"... so we need to nourish it. One square inch of human skin consists of something like 19,500,000 cells, 60,000 melanocytes (pigment), 90 oil glands, 19 feet of blood vessels, 650 sweat glands,  more than 1,000 nerve endings and19,000 sensory cells(*). Our skin is a magnificent organ that needs to be attended to. So now maybe you'll agree that it is NOT superficial to care so much about what our skin looks like. Treat your skin good, use ingredients like "all natural botanicals" and if scented, make sure it is scented with pure essential oils.  Read labels and choose good products that will address the real health of you and your skin.

From the beginning of the day, to the end of the evening, incorporate skin products that will nourish your skin on a cellular level. Make sure the products you choose are skin-permeable and can deliver its nutrients deep into the dermis (not all products do!!!). Make sure the products you choose will help you achieve the best results. The absorption rate of any product you use depends on the "molecule size" and its "solubility" (know your product or buy from reputable mixologists or aromatherapists....)

Dry Brushing your skin is a great way to detoxify (daily). Dry Brushing (DB), also, helps clean out the lymph system (considered part of our immune system, detoxification occurs first through the lymph, we have more lymph than we do blood). DB helps us to shed dead skin cells, improving skin texture and cell renewal. It strengthens the immune system by stimulating the lymph vessels to drain toxins. DB  tightens skin by increasing blood flow, tones muscles by stimulating nerve endings, causing muscle fibers to activate and move. It helps stimulate circulation by allowing our skin to breath (ridding it of dead skin cells).

Our Skin needs to be cleansed, balanced and given lots of nutrition, daily........... don't skimp on the products you put onto your skin.  Remember, our skin is the "last" to receive the nutrients we ingest, however, it is the "first" to show an imbalance or deficiency.

In close, healthy skin will contribute to your overall  body health, so treat it good:)

TODAY:  "I Am Just Human

I am just human, I will have many failures and successes in my life time, there will be times of triumph and tragedy, happiness and sorrow... I am just human, I will make correct and wrong decisions in my life time, there will be times of celebration and times of grieving, times where I feel like I'm moving forward and times I feel like I'm just standing still... I am just human, I will do things right and sometimes wrong, I will stand strong and other times will need the shoulder of a friend to help hold me up... I am just human, I will try to project life in a positive way, but if I am under the weather and can't find the strength, because I am human, I will allow the universe to step in and do this for me. Leaning on the universe or the kindness of another human being does not make me weak, it just means "I am human"...

TODAY: short and sweet

Life is a gift of dreams, live it up
Time is a gift of moments, use them well
Day is a gift of light, shine bright
Night is a gift of quiet and peace, get your sleep

Never let a moment pass that you don't: "live up", "use well" and "shine bright",
unless your asleep, then let that be the time for quiet-peace........
