Epsom Salt Review and Giveaway!


Hi Neighbors,

Ok. You may say Epsom Salt in a Gift Basket Bonanza? Oh Yes! You would not believe all the uses for Epsom Salt. Oh, I knew you poured some into a bath for a nice soak, but that is not all you can use Epsom Salt for. According to the website:May soften skin and exfoliate. Provides Magnesium which has been shown to-ease stress, lower blood pressure, create a happy relaxed feeling, raise energy levels. If you visit their website, they have a list of uses and recipes to follow. Like a Pedicure, to exfoliate, a soak, a facial, spa treatment, natural hair volumizer, and even how to create your own bath crystals.


I am including the bath crystal information here:Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of fragrance to create a custom bath crystal. Add a few drops of food coloring or ½ TSP of glycerin if you like. Store in an air-tight container.


Under health usage tips they tell you how to make compresses, and a foot bath. They even include information on how to use it in gardening. It amazed me the uses for Epsom Salt. I mean it has been around for years and all I had ever used it for was soaking in the tub. You really need to visit the website and wander around. I never knew you could use Epsom Salt for itching from mosquito bites, poison ivy, bee stings and sunburn. You can rest assured, I will be keeping Epsom Salt in the house from now on.



As far as a gift basket goes, put the nice looking jar of Epsom Salt in a gift basket along with some essential oils, perhaps a scrubbie, or a neck pillow for the tub. You could also include a list of the different uses and recipes from the website!

The winner of this giveaway will receive one bottle of Epsom Salt, just like mine.

I didn't realize it had a lot of garden benefits. Among them it helps seeds germinate, plants grow bushier and produces more flowers.

Researchers have found that magnesium also increases energy and stamina by encouraging the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy packets made in the cells.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
