The Salt of the Earth....

What is it?

Epsom salts gets its name from the place in which it was discovered, Epsom in England. It is a mineral composed of magnesium and sulfate compounds. Epsom salts can relieve muscular aches and pains whilst also healing cracked skin conditions. Recent studies have also indicated that Epsom salts could alleviate signs of autism in children.

Magnesium is believed to play an important role in regulating the bodies functioning. Magnesium sulfate is an essential building block for brain tissue and joint proteins. Magnesium sulfate is known for its absorbency through the skin, it then makes perfect sense to derive it through soaking in bath water.

Extra benefits

Skin conditions such as dryness, itching, cracked skin, eczema and psoriasis have all shown relieving benefits through regular use of Epsom salts.
Bathing in mineral rich water on a regular basis for 2-3 times per week could be the cosmetic treatment we have all needed. Put aside all the anti-ageing creams and lotions. This salt is used to reinforce the feeling of health and youthfulness for the skeleton and muscular system with minimal outlay and time. Lets face it...sitting in a hot bath is hardly hard work? A soak a day will keep the doctor at bay.

As a routine detox, magnesium sulfate should be considered as a de-pollutant. It helps the digestive system to release toxins and unwelcome bacteria. It also supports the growth of digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas. It helps the body rid itself of heavy metals.

Healing Power

The following conditions have shown signs of significant improvement after using Magnesium therapy;
Traumatic brain injury
Headaches

Anxiety
Irritability
Insomnia
Postpartum depression
Cocaine, alcohol and tobacco abuse
Hypersensitivity to calcium
Short term memory loss
Migraines
Chronic fatigue

Why not give it a try for yourself? It is readily available in supermarkets and health stores. Just a few scoops into a warm running water and allow your mind and body to relax and drift away for 10-15 minutes to enjoy the huge benefits mentioned with natural healing.
Enjoy your very own "Salt of the Earth".

Until next time...

Love & sparkles

Fake Tanning: Manual V Spray

Firstly, just to clarify the differences between the two types of fake tanning. Manual tanning is applied directly onto and into the skin that has been prepared usually in a cream or lotion format and then is allowed to develop.Spray tan is applied using a compressor type air gun and is applied in a very fine mist in a liquid format and sits onto the skin until it soaks in and then develops. Manual tanning has made a big come from in recent times. Whilst previously it was all about spray tanning treatments for numerous reasons: quickness of the treatment, even application and less product generally used. But with clients wanting to come to the salon, or treatment area and enjoy a full treatment that involves them giving up an hour or so of their time. This has really helped the manual tan application see a big come back hit! From my experience of learning many moons ago the application of manual tanning before spray tan was even out there....I know myself, I wasn't too kee

6 Shocking Soy Wax Candle Benefits

Candles for me mean so much more than a light source. I love nothing more than a snuggle on the sofa, candle light to create that cozy ambience. It creates calm, lovely soft lighting alongside wonderful fragrances that can take you right back to that special time or place. They can mean romance, they can mean sorrow and joy. I light a candle in remembrance to my loved ones. We light candles to celebrate birthdays and special occasions by placing them on top of the cake. The burning question I often get asked why I chose soy wax for my artisan candles? I get comments that soy is more expensive than say cheaper options such as paraffin wax for example? Well, the simple answer is if you dig a little deeper you will see that the savings come at a higher cost in the end. In simple terms, soy wax is better. Better for the environment, better for the home, better for our families and it creates a better perfomring product in my opinion. Which is so important for me when I am creatin

Failing to prepare, is to preparing to fail: GCSE VTCT Ten Recommendations

I wanted to put together a guidance list of the ten points that I have learnt along my journey teaching this GCSE qualification in order to help support, guide and assist anyone who is about to start teaching this qualification, considering teaching it, or is currently teaching it and needing some additional guidance from someone who has hands on experience. These are my own personal points and by no means set in stone. So please use them as they were intended to be, as a help list. PREPARE: Now I know this might sound a bit of an obvious point as teachers and educators we are always having to think two steps ahead. But by this I mean have your unit scenarios printed for each learner. Have spaces up on your displays so they can collect them if they have lost theirs (students do love to forget things). Have grade descriptors for the unit printed and if they have them glue them into their books so you can mark as you go along and the students know instantly what grade they are
