Skin Brushing

This morning, I met a new person in the locker room who was using this brush on her arms.  She told me how effective it is for healthy skin.  I thought it was ironic that she just happened to talk to me about this because unbeknownst to her,  I have been very irritated this winter with dry, itchy skin on my back, my legs, and arms.  I’ve tried moisturizing with Shea butter, vitamin E,  including fatty acids in my diet, and with the recent spring like weather, soaking up some vitamin D.  One, or all are helping a little, but not enough.  Looking forward to trying this.

Stay tuned for results!

Boston Ferns

My Boston Fern looks pitiful.  I know that the time of year is a factor, with the lack of light, and the dry air from the heat, but my fern is barely alive.  Just look at the poor miserable thing!   I’ve been misting it with water, and placing it in different areas of the house.  It just gets worse.
