Strawberry Foot Scrub

You will need: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, 8 fresh strawberries, foot brush, hand and body lotion

  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together oil and salt. Add strawberries. Mash everything together with a fork until the mixture is blended but still somewhat chunky.
  • Rub the strawberry mixture onto your feet with a foot brush or your hands. Work it around in circles on your heels and other high-impact zones.
  • Jump in the shower and rinse the mixture off. Rub in some lotion and put socks on to keep the healing moisture in.

    Color-Enhancing Herbal Rinses

    If you have light hair, you will need: 2 cups of water, 2 chamomile tea bags, 1 tablespoon of fresh or dried marigold, parsley or catnip, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

If you have red hair you will need: 1 cup of water, 1 red hibiscus or rose hips tea bag, 1 tablespoon of fresh or dried parsley or catnip, _ cup of beet juice, _ cup of carrot juice

  • In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and add tea bags and herbs. Steep for 15 minutes.
  • Remove tea bags and strain out the herbs. Allow the infusion to cool to room temperature.
  • Add the juice, if using.
  • To use, pour the brew over your hair after you condition. It’s also a good idea to pour with your head over a bowl, so you can catch the runoff and rinse your hair with it several times. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse with water. Keep brew away from clothing and the good towels-it will stain fabrics.
