Technology may have allowed us to do things in a faster way but it has also led us to be more and more tired with trying to keep up with technology’s own pace. Because of this, most people have found it hard to really focus on taking care of their skin. If you are one of them, then we have a solution for you – your very own sugar scrub.

In order to create your own sugar scrub, you need to have with you half a cup of sugar, lemon juice (from one lemon), and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. If you want to go funky about it, you can have food coloring.

Once you have all the items, mix them in a clean bowl, except for the coloring which you can add only when the mixture is already consistent.

Another way to go about having your own sugar scrub is to add to a cup of sugar a teaspoon of glycerin and half a teaspoon of vitamin E oil. You can then sprinkle a few drops of your favorite aromatherapy essential oil like Lavender, Chamomile, Sandalwood, Grapefruit, Vanilla, and Geranium.

If you would not be able to consume all of your sugar scrub, make sure that you store them n a glass container with a tight lid. Avoid using plastic ones as essential oils can be easily absorbed by plastic.

 In an ideal world, stress is something that we could either get away from or change. However, we do not live in an ideal world. In actuality, there are two types of stress – good stress, otherwise known as Eustress, and bad stress, or what we know as Distress. Although oftentimes used interchangeably, it really is the latter that requires more attention.

Stress is makes itself evident via changes in body function and health (backache, fatigue, frequent urination, breathing problems), changes in emotions and feelings (irritable, sad, worried, tense), changes in behaviour (always asleep or rarely goes to sleep, eats more than usual, eats less than usual, drinks alcohol, uses drugs), and changes in thought (feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, difficulty remembering things, difficulty concentrating).

One way of managing stress is through the use of aromatic candles. However, you cannot just get up and buy any kind of aromatic candle. You have to know which ones would be able to give you maximum help.   If you would like to alleviate stress resulting from anger or anxiety, you could try candles with scents of frankincense, Jasmine, Juniper, Lavender, Neroli, Sandalwood, or Ylang-Ylang. Jasmine and Lavender can also be used to ease depression. Ylang-Ylang, Frankincense and jasmine can also help take away nervous exhaustion.

You have to keep in mind however, that stress should not be taken for granted. The best way to deal with it is to look at the real reason behind your stress. Aromatherapy only serves as a ‘first aid’.
