Extra Virgin Olive oil makes an excellent skin moisturizer and can be used from head to toe. It's natural and great for sensitive skin! I use it without any worry or concern about chemicals; if it safe enough to eat then it's safe for your skin.
I like to add a few drops of my favorite essential oils. Lavender is a favorite of many. I have found a stress-relief essential oil blend that has several fragrances combined in one bottle - very convenient and it smells so nice. Or you can go wild and mix your very own signature blend. Apply after showering as you would any body moisturizer. A little goes a long way. It can be used as a facial moisturizer and on dry lips. I like to apply to my feet and then put on some white cotton socks - and don't forget the back of your hands, cuticles and nails!

Corn on the Cob

Sweet corn season is done for the year, but this sure looks like a great way to cook and clean corn on the cob at the same time. Best part - no pot to wash! Can't wait till next season to try this out!
