Small and large regrets or, aging is inevitable.

I admit it, I don’t like aging, or rather I do not mind getting older. Getting older is a gift. I just really do not like looking like it.  So I am a bit vain.
I like many women have searched for the miracle cure for aging. Companies bombard us with advertisements that this or that “wonder product” will reverse the signs of aging completely. Hogwash. Their models are 12 years old. Let us get real.

 

Question: Have you ever used a skin care product that, after  you saw the results you thought to yourself ” If I  had known about  this when I was younger, I would look great now!”  Well I  have.  Twice.  The first was a product line that is very expensive, as in arm and leg expensive. I am not quite that vain, or that rich.  it worked well, but was not budget friendly.  The second is a new  line of skincare that contains essential oils and worked as well as the expensive line. It is the new Verage skincare line.
The Verage line contains these products:
Cleanser, Toner,  Serum, and Moisturizer.
The key to the effectiveness of this line is the  Serum.  The oil blend serum  is a extremely healing blend of the finest oils available. This blend, exclusive to this company, really does enhance the body’s ability to heal. This blend can be purchased separately, and now  it is included in the Verage complete package. In addition the cleanser and moisturizer, to me, are less drying and more healing than other skin care lines
The Verage skincare sells retail for $112.67 retail, or 84.50 wholesale. And it lasts for more than a month.

The unkindest cut, or how I realized I needed to learn how to use a sharp knife, and keep oils handy when I do.

 

To begin with , I am a klutz, I freely admit it, and have been for most of my life. Grace is not my strong point. I know this about myself, and still I use knives.
I realized one day that my knives were not sharp, when I had to put my whole weight behind my chef’s knife to cut a baked chicken breast. at this point I was wishing I could find someone to sharpen my knives. At least find a reasonably priced knife to buy.
Then I found a whole set of knives, with covers even, at the Sams’s club. Eight knives for $20.00. Can you believe it? eight knives for the price of one good paring knife Well the bargain hunter in me could not pass this up. Gift from heaven. (smile).
I happily came home with my bargain, opened the knives and put them in my knife drawer.
All is well (or so I thought).
The next day I needed to chop something, so I get out one of my new knives and the first thing I do is slice my finger!!! I am not talking a small cut, I am talking a mini filet of the side of my finger. I was bleeding profusely and I probably needed a stitch.
I will not go into the gory details, and no I do not have pictures. I did not have time to go to the emergency room, (there would go my cost saving). So, I got out my trusty essential oils.
Helichrysum and Geranium both stop bleeding, so I used liberal amounts of those with pressure. When the bleeding stopped, I needed to treat the cut with something to prevent infection so I used the Protecting  blend. Myrrh, (very antiseptic) Lavender (healing) and Frankincense (healing and enhancing). Then I wrapped my finger in a band-aid and went about my merry way
My finger has healed, and I do not even have a scar. I am amazed. and pleased.
The healing properties of pure  therapeutic Essential Oils still amaze me.

Be sure to use only pure therapeutic essential oils, many oils cut with other oils and sometimes alcohol.
