Signs of Depression

I have discovered a lotion and soap that is very good on your skin and it has organic and natural ingredients in them. I found it at Target (I love Target). I was shocked because usually in the stores it's hard to find products that are natural. The products are extremely gentle. I don't usually, use soap on my face because it dries my face out, but I can use these soaps, and I don't have any problems with it drying out.

The lotion is so light and so gentle on your skin. It smells heavenly. I was already a fan of shea butter. These products have shea butter in them. So, if you're like me than, you will really enjoy them. The lotion gives your skin the right amount of moisture. It's not greasy at all.


I have been trying to watch what I put on my skin, as we all know that the skin absorbs what you put on it. So, the least chemicals going on the skin is better for you health wise. Besides, natural products are so much better. When you know what the ingredients are you feel much better about using it (I know I do).




I know that you will enjoy these products. They are excellent for your skin. I just love it when I find something that is so good. If you think that you would like to try these products (and I know you will) go to the website SheaMoisture.com and have a look around.

It can be hard to maintain a lifestyle if you have someone who doesn't agree with it. No one wants to play the healthy food vs junk food game everyday, because it gets old and tiring very quickly. So, how can you get your spouse to eat healthy?

1. Be encouraging. Explain to him or her the importance of eating a healthy diet.

2. Get the whole family involved. It's much easier to do things together, than it is alone.

3. Involve him or her in the planning of meals and the grocery shopping.

4. Try new and different recipes. Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring or taste bad.

5. Try to keep healthy foods and snacks around the house.

6. Pick good books to read regarding making the transition to a healthy lifestyle. Include the whole family. Don't know what kinds of books to consider? Check out my Health Essential Books Store in my side bar for some of my recommendations.

7. Kindly, remind them that we have only one body and we have to take care of it, because if we don't who will? Nothing is worth being miserable over, and especially because one chooses to eat poorly.

8. Don't argue, and this is a big factor. Don't let food be the reason for an argument.

9. Have patience, and be understanding. Remember, the food industries are using ingredients that is causing it to be addictive. It also takes time for a person to break bad habits.

10. Lead by example. If you are looking and feeling good. That's something that few people can resist.



Note: You can use these tips not only just for your spouse, but also for friends, family, and colleagues.

I believe that it is very important for everyone to get to know their bodies. It's your body, and who better to know it than you. Your body is like a good friend. If you treat it well, it will treat you well. If you treat it badly, it will treat you badly. By knowing your body; I mean you should pay attention to it. You should know your body better than your doctor, not vice versa. Sometimes, the solution to your health problems is simple. If you take care of your body and learn what your body needs you can solve some of the problems you may be having yourself.

However, if you feel that you really don't know what the health problem is than, you should go to the doctor. I'm not against going to the doctor, I just don't believe in taking medication just because you sneezed. I believe in healing the body naturally.

You too, can start to get to know your body. Read my " Getting To Know My Body" article.

If you have a getting to know your body story. Please tell me about them because I would really love to hear about it.

A couple of sayings about the miswak from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

Brush your teeth with a miswak (a wooden toothpick usually made from a twig of the peelu tree) after a meal and rinse out your mouth. For these two practices are a safeguard for the eye, teeth, and the wisdom teeth.

Use miswak, for this practice comes from cleanliness, and cleanliness comes from faith, and faith takes its practioner to heaven.




The miswak is very easy to use, and it will help you clean your teeth. It's safe and natural. It's almost like using a toothbrush except instead of brushing across you brush up and down. When you start using the miswak you can feel the natural juices cleaning your teeth. You can use the miswak throughout the day, and not only in the morning or before you go to bed.(Muslims use the miswak before each prayer.)

The miswak can also be used to help get rid of phelgm. Take the miswak, and put it a little down the back of the throat, and it will help you cough-up the phelgm. As you can see the miswak is a great way for you to clean your teeth, and the soft fibers get between the teeth easily which produces a flossing effect.

Let the miswak help you keep your teeth clean and your breath smelling fresh.
