Facial Masks The skin is by far the largest organ of the human body. It is extremely sensitive to external factors, such as ultraviolet radiation, dirt and cold weather, as well as to emotional influences like stress. All these conditions have adverse effects on the skin. The good news is that most problems can be prevented by proper maintenance and care. The skin produces millions of new cells a day, regenerating itself completely within 30 to 40 days, depending on the person’s age. Around the age of 35, however, the skin’s natural rejuvenating processes begin to slow considerably. At this time, the skin can greatly benefit from a facial mask. There are two basic types of masks: Relaxing Relaxing masks moisturize the skin and refresh the complexion Stimulating stimulating masks promote blood flow and smooth and firm the skin. Before applying a mask, cleanse the skin with a facial toner that contains lemon balm...

  READING TAROT CARDS Tarot cards connect to our inner selves. They're rich images speak to our subconscious, triggering emotions and feelings hidden deep within us. When you see tarot cards for the first time, you'll probably wonder how such small cards can contain so much information. How do tarot readers remember everything – especially when many cards look virtually the same? TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. The images on tarot cards act as visual clues to their meanings. The key to reading tarot is not learning the meanings for all 78 cards, but "feeling" your way through what each card says to you at that specific time. When you first see a tarot card, take a minute to look at it closely. What do you think it is telling you? Your first gas may be closer to the true meaning than you think! Look at the images on tarot cards. Whether people they show are happy or sad, or the sky is sunny or cloudy, can give you instant insight into the messages. The cards have for you. DIFFER...

Tarot is the ancient art of laying out in interpreting illustrated cards to gain insights into your past, present and future. We all like the idea of being able to see into the future, so that we can foresee obstacles in our past. Tarot cards have been used for centuries as a way of granting us such insights: think of the cards as a conduit, and a Tarot Reader as a magical counselor uses them to focus and enhance their intuition. THE ANSWER IS WITHIN YOU Tarot works because when you ask a question, the answer to your problem is already present in your subconscious mind. Concentrating on the question brings that knowledge to the surface, and draws you to choose certain cards. It forces you to confront negatives you may usually choose to ignore, and put apparently positive aspects in context, helping reveal the bigger picture. Through understanding tarot, you will gain a better understanding of yourself and the world around you. CHANNELING ENERGY WITH TAROT Some people b...

What is Kefir? Kefir is a fermented milk product similar to yogurt, which originated in Russia. This tangy, creamy milk product is sometimes referred to as the “champagne of milk” because of its fizzy effervescence. The natural carbonation gives Kefir a light, foam, creamy texture, even when made with low fat milk. Kefir is made from milk that has been gently heated to eliminate possibly pathogenic bacteria. Next, a specific mixture of bacteria and yeast cultures are added to the milk to begin fermentation. The unique mixture of bacteria and yeast give kefir its distinct flavor and texture. The starter cultures for kefir are often referred to as “kefir grains” as they look like small, lumpy, granules, similar in appearance to cauliflower. The bacteria  Lactobacilus caucasius  ferments lactose in the milk into lactic acid, which provides a tangy flavor.  Saccharomyces kefir  and  To...
