SENIOR LADY DOES HERBALS!

Many years ago, I only thought of herbs  as a cooking enhancement. My Mom loved using sage in  her Thanksgiving 
side dishes.  I used rosemary and thyme on my potatoes and chicken after seeing them in recipes. I discovered its 
homeopathic uses several years later




I do  recall her making me injest  spoonfuls of that ghastly cod liver oil to keep me from getting colds
and the flu. She had to catch me and my siblings and hold us down. We hated the taste  of  this stuff.

She also  told me to plant Catnip when my boys were babies. This was good for baby colick.  
She supplied the plants which I planted immediately. The side effect was, I found kittens
laying in my Catnip bush. Mother cats kept taking up residence, so I removed it. I had dogs
and wanted to avoid cat and dog fights.







I was in such misery when I was going through menopause. The Internet as just coming into existence and I must
say that one search engine Yahoo, helped me out tremendously. I used soy with Isoflavones pills to keep my symptoms
controlled. I tried Black Cohosh, but I had an allergic reaction to it. I learned a valuable lesson. Some herbs can have 
 side effect(s) just like prescription medicine(s) in some people. I discuss my herbals with my pharmacist to make
sure they will not interact with over the counter or prescription medicines. 


A friend of mine was selling herbals.  She invited me to a house party where the importance of herbals were discussed.
I was intrigued with the information about Melaleuca oil. It is also call Tea Tree oil and this is the common name.
A small bottle of this oil was expensive but I bought it anyway. I loved it and had to order it from her for about 2 years 
because it wasn't available locally. Pure Tea Tree oil is popular now and I can buy it at local drugstores. Dollar stores
 even have it available in tiny roll on bottles. Their version is a mild formula, so this great for people who dislike strong
 astringent smell. I give Tea Tree oil as gifts to my Diabetic friends with a note explaining it's uses. These friends tell
me this oil kept cuts on their feet from becoming severe. One friend had boils on her scalp and she applied the 
Tea Tree oil on them. They dried up completely in a few days and were no longer painful.
 


Here the the ways I use Tea tree oil

Tea Tree shampoo &  conditioner and hair gel
Pure Tea Tree oil:  
Dry scalp issues,  Mosquito and other bug bites, healing small cuts and abrasions, acne
Additive to my lotions and skin creams

Here is a link to a very good article online about Melaleuca Tea Tre Oil:

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
