Try this herbal recipe for homemade body butter that will smooth the worst case of dry skin and is inexpensive to make. It can be customized to contain only the ingredients you choose.

Since the times of ancient Rome when cold cream was first invented, people have been pampering their skin with rich lotions. These moisturizing soufflés lock in vital moisture and soothe skin that has grown dry from neglect and harsh conditions. When added to the mix, herbs can contribute even greater benefits to a basic body lotion. Manufacturers, who have not overlooked the point, have begun marketing their own lines of herbal body butters in recent years. While undoubtedly effective, these products can be very expensive and contain preservatives that some people would rather avoid. For those of us who want to pamper our skin but have monetary or ecological drawbacks to store-bought lotions, the following body butter lotion is an ideal solution to the problem. It costs only pennies to make and can be customized to contain only the ingredients you find suitable.

Body Lotion's Purpose

At some point in our lives all of us are bound to experience at least one bout of dry skin. Our lifestyles and geography play a part in this, as do diet and genetics. For instance, a cold climate can suck all of the moisture out of even the supplest skin. Shaving can lead to dry legs, which in turn leads to irritation and uncomfortable itching. And how many of us manage to eat perfectly and drink the recommended six to eight glasses of water every single day? The purpose of body lotion is to make up for bad habits and conditions by replenishing and holding in skin's moisture. The result is a more beautiful and healthy body. For the woman who wants to stop hiding her ashy elbows and flaky legs, body butter is a must-have item in the medicine cabinet.

Ingredients


The basic composition of any lotion, whether it is a light facial moisturizer or rich body lotion, is a blend of oil and water. Of course, every grade school child knows that these two items do not mix. However, lotions have a secret ingredient that can defy this law of nature: the emulsifier. This item, when heated and blended with water and oil, holds the two together. The most common and easily accessible emulsifier is beeswax, a natural secretion produced by bees after they eat honey. You can purchase beeswax at larger craft stores for around $2.50 per pound. If the price deters you, just remember that a pound of beeswax is enough to make well over one hundred batches of lotion. Borax, an alkali commonly used for softening laundry water, works alongside beeswax to preserve the lotion.

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. :) If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. But if you never use your brain, or abuse it with harmful chemicals, your ability to think and learn will deteriorate.
Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.
1. Minimize Television Watching – This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.
Don’t you feel drained after a couple hours of TV? Your eyes are sore and tired from being focused on the light box for so long. You don’t even have the energy to read a book.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

From time to time, we all get a little down, maybe even a little depressed. Maybe we are feeling overwhelmed, or feel bad because we’re not doing well with our goals. There are many reasons for feeling down, and I’m not qualified to discuss all of them, their implications, or clinical treatment. What I can talk about are some things that have worked for me.
Feeling a little depressed can interfere with achieving our goals. We know we should be doing something, but we just don’t feel like doing anything. This can last for a long time if you don’t head it off as soon as possible and take action. Here are some of the things that work best for me:
  1. Make a list. Sometimes we are depressed simply because we are overwhelmed with all the things we have to do that we haven’t gotten around to doing. You might be into GTD, but sometimes every GTDer falls behind with his system, and sometimes you just don’t have the energy to do so. So all the “stuff” that’s in our head can overwhelm us. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen, and making a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Sometimes it’s work stuff, sometimes it’s stuff around the house that’s bothering us, sometimes it’s goal tasks, or a combination of these and more. Simply making a list can be a big relief — you’re getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that alone can pick up your mood.
  2. Take action. You’ve made a list, and you still feel overwhelmed? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Is it a big task? Break it down and just do the smallest task, something just to get you started. Once you get started, once you get into action, you’ll feel better. Trust me. You might still feel overwhelmed, but at least you’re doing something. And once you start doing something, you’ve got momentum, and that feels much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself.
  3. Exercise. I know, you might not be in the mood for exercise. But just do it! Taking a walk, going for a run, going to the gym, whatever it is you do for exercise — get out and do it now! You don’t need to do a real hard workout, but the simple act of exercise can lift your mood immediately. Just do it!
  4. Shower and groom yourself. Laying around in your underwear, smelling bad, is not going to do you any good. Simply showering, and feeling clean, can do wonders for your mood. Brush your teeth, comb your hair, shave, do whatever it is that you need to do to feel clean and good about yourself. Instant pick me up!
  5. Get out of the house and do something. Sometimes, if you stay home lying around, feeling depressed, just getting out (after showering and grooming) will change your mood. Staying home all the time can really get you down, and you may not realize this until you go out and do something. Preferably something on your list (see No. 1).
  6. Play some lively music. I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune, but you might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, crank it up, and let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered.
  7. Talk about it. Got a significant other, best friend, family member, co-worker you can talk to? Bend their ear. That’s what they’re their for. If you don’t, there are hotlines, or professionals, you can talk to. And then there’s always online forums. These are great places to find someone to talk to. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference, and can be a huge lift. It can also help you work out the reasons you’re feeling down.

Boring and lazy to do exercise are the huge obstacle in having a good shape.

Usage of anti-obesity drug or food supplement is the short term effective weight losing and leave bad effects to your body in long term. To work out, no need to spend many hours in fitness center to burn out calories, just only 10 to 30 minutes to work out is efficient which you can simply do such as walking in a day, just increasing the distance and more energetic walking, your fat can be burn out clearly. After lunch, you can spend your 10 minutes for walking while digesting before sitting in your office, if you are in weight limiting; with walking 10,000 steps per day (chop walking about 20 minutes) you can utilize up to 500 kilocalories definitely.

2. Limit to three meals, prevent unawareness eating

3. Object to shape up
Mostly women have problem about shape firming on their arm, abdomen surface, hip and thigh, which office girls slightly found causing from low body movement. Exercise with focusing on each body part is the method people do to make their muscle strong and firmly. However, Focusing on each part only like doing sit up for flat stomach, squash for firming thigh may not be effective fat burning or shaping up method, due to elimination of excess fat or shape up need to work out which strengthen your heart and exercise on all of body part accompany with food limitation. So who wish to exercise concentrate on each body part but not successful, should try this suggestion. Give your time for exercise at least 3 times a week and each 30 minutes a time while exercise on each body part for 2 times a week.

4.  Burn calories within 15 minutes
“No time for exercise” is the common reason people claimed. The truth is no need several hours to exercise, just a short time about 15 minutes which the calories can be burn out as well. We can split exercise time into 2-3 times a day which totally about 30 minutes a day, for example running up-down at stare or rope jumping after wake up then walking around your office for 15 minutes after lunch and joining aerobic dance or aero boxing for 15 minutes or until sweaty, totally this day you have exercise about 45 minutes. In this case, if you can do 5 times per week with the food limitation, you can experience the changing within 2 month certainly.

5. Hardening your work out
For people who separate exercising for a long time, when they return exercise again, at first they feel try easily, but after exercise for a time regularly the body learn and familiar with which make the functional of heart and lung better. After a period, the hard and phase in exercise must be increase in order to build the muscle and stimulate for more calories burn out. This is an exercise for stimulating a heart functional to be strengthened and durable to tiredness. Though, the step of harden increasing should be little and carefully, because harden the exercise doesn’t mean overdo exercise. The heart beat rate for losing weight should be around 120-150 beats per minute continuously for 20 minutes.

6. Low impact exercise
An injury can be occurred any place and any time especially when doing exercise, which cause an injury from forcing or using some muscle part too much. Stretching muscle before and after exercise is an important step in preparing body for impaction, moreover it is increasing the body flexible and decreasing the risk of damage while workout. Evaluate and know your body limitation are also essential because while exercise you may feel too tired and hurt or tight the muscle until can’t stand, this is a warning to stop, unless you are still and continue, you may get hurt or crucial damage, such as muscle inflamed,  tendon inflamed or torn. For people who exercise daily, should make your muscle relax. A various exercise is recommended and avoiding repeat using the same muscle like running which use leg muscle rotate with muscle stretching and exercise abdomen muscle.
