Ingredients:

For steps 1 & 2
Approx. 3 tbsp Dead Sea Salt (fine grain)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Water
Small bowl

For step 3*
3 Drops Tea Tree Essential Oil (anti-bacterial & anti-fungal oil)
3 Drops Rosemary Essential Oil (moisturizes and strengthens)
3 Drops Lavender Essential Oil (anti-bacterial & anti-fungal oil)
3 Drops Lemon Essential Oil (whitens and strengthens)
3 Vitamin E Gel Capsules (moisturizes)
1 oz Sweet Almond Oil (moisturizes)
Dark glass bottle

One-

To soften and soothe cuticles, combine 2 tablespoons of fine grain Dead Sea Salt,  2 tablespoons of olive oil and just enough water to allow you to soak your fingers into a small bowl.  Soak for 10 minutes.

Two-

For a beautiful shine on your nails, add a little bit of water to a tablespoon of Dead Sea Salt and buff your nails by gently massaging the salt directly onto your nails using circular motions. Then rinse hands with warm water.

Three-

For the finishing touch, which will help to strengthen brittle nails and give them a natural shine, take a small dark glass bottle and add in the drops of essential oils.  Then break the Vitamin E capsules and squeeze them into bottle.  Finally, add the sweet almond oil. Massage 2 or 3 drops of the blend onto your nails and cuticles.

*This blend will provide you with many uses since you only need to use a couple drops at a time.

If you’ve just over indulged the night before only to wake up feeling the effects the next morning- headache, nausea and feeling achy all over, treat yourself the this detoxifying bath.  If you can get someone to help you prepare this bath for you, all the better!

 
You will need:
1 Cup Dead Sea Salt OR Epsom Salt (to get rid of the toxins and soothe muscles)
5 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil (uplifts while soothing nausea)
2 drops of Juniper Essential Oil (a detoxifying essential oil that will help to cleanse your body)
3 drops of Lavender Essential Oil (relaxes and relieves headaches)
Wash cloth and hand towel soaked with cold water

The How To: 
Place the salt into a bowl and add in the drops of essential oils, then mix.
Draw a bath of luke warm water (the tepid water will help you rejuvenate).
Next, sprinkle the bath salts in the tub.
Slowly make your way into the tub and place the cool hand towel behind your head as a cushion.  Then fold the cool washcloth and place it across your forehead.
Lie back and relax until you are ready to get on with the rest of your day.

Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day!
