Hello,

I don't have a specific recipe for a cucumber mask, but you could just add

pureed cucumber, as a wetting agent, to a clay base and you would have a nice

fresh cucumber mask. I add all sorts of natural wetting agents to my masks,

apple juice is great too. Just make enough for a one-time use and there is no

need to preserve or refrigerate.

HTH,

Hello,

I am new here and I am sorry that my first post is for help, I have

been searching for a recipe for a Cuccumber Facial Mask.

[Guest guest]

That sounds wonderful Sydney but the problem with that is my Mom lives in

another state as I do so I would have to make a big batch of it. What would I

use as a preservative if I were to make a big batch and send to her? I know if

I told her to keep it in the fridge she would but putting something cold on the

face will close the pores instead of opening them up. I appreciate your help in

this!

It sounds to me as though the doctor is treating only a symptom - itching -

and not the root cause of the problem. Has s/he given you a diagnosis? My

guess would be 'no'. I don't blame you for not giving your son

Phenergan... doping him is not a solution. Although it's impossible to say

for sure - what you're describing sounds like either excema or an allergy,

perhaps contact dermatitis. A starting place - for prepping the skin for a

home remedy - would be for him to wash (shower or bathe) with Dawn

dishwashing liquid.. which is what was recommended by my daughter's

dermatologist years ago for all kinds of skin conditions. No scrubbing -

just thorough washing. I'm an RN, and have used that recommendation many

times to others - with positive feedback from them often. I'm still trying

to lurk and learn on this list, so those with the expertise will recommend

some form of treatment to you.

HTH..

help please

My son has a bad skin problem. The doctor has been of no help excepting

saying just keep him on the Phenergan. It makes him dopey so I don't like

it too much!!!!!!!

patch has been spotted on his elbow.

-- Hi Joanne,

Sounds like eczema, or dermatitis, I would change your washing powder to a

non-bio and get him to use an all olive oil soap and see how that goes. My

son had this problem when he was little, also does he drink full cream

milk? if so give him skimmed milk. This worked for my son now he only uses

my home made soap, on his skin and his clothes. HTH

Another thought, everyone is different....................my daughter has

eczema and one thing that brings it out is Dawn dishwashing detergent. All

she has to do is look at the stuff and she starts with eruptions.

One thing I've found that has worked for my hubby is the MSM that everyone

is raving about. He's been using the cream for about a week and it's nearly

gone.

Another point.........has your son been checked for allergies, particularly

food allergies? My sil was in horrible shape and had been treated all her

life for this horrible skin condition. They did, just a couple of years

back, test her for food allergies. She had so many that she had a hard time

eating a normal diet. Not only did she have the skin problems, but she also

had asthma from all this. If she can stick to her diet she does

wonderfully.

Another thing I forgot to mention...........with my daughters skin, she can

only use the home made Fels Naptha laundry detergent that we make. Anything

else and she's in trouble.

How true, Carolyn.. everyone is definitely different! Even though Dawn is one

of the least likely suspects for an allergy - when one develops an allergy to a

'least likely suspect', it can be a BIG problem. My daughter (the one for whom

the Dawn was recommended) fought serious contact dermatitis allergies for

several years.. was allergy tested, given steroids both by mouth and

injectables, would develop 'malignant urticaria' (hives that wouldn't go away

for weeks).. etc. When I finally took her to the doc (who ultimately

recommended the Dawn), we discovered the aggravating factor was, of all things,

Diphenhydramine Hcl (Benadryl! - which is considered one of the first line drugs

of choice for an allergic reaction!). Sheesh! Go figure! Benadryl spray is

one of the most highly sensitizing products on the market.. meaning it causes

allergies in many people. Once an allergy develops to that form of Benadryl,

all forms are allergens. Not one healthcare provider has even believed her when

she tells them she's allergic to it! And they call that health 'care'. Uh-huh,

sure.. : )

You have to officially register for the challenge. Once you've done that, they

mail you a competitor's packet. You fill that out, attach your pictures, and

return it at the end of the 12 weeks.

Personally, I wouldn't eat Detour bars every day. I probably have 2 or 3 a week.

It's always better to eat balanced whole food meals than bars.

HELP PLEASE

hi there

how are you all doing?

i just wonder ,do ihave to send eas anything for joining the chalange or only

when i finish.

can i restart on the 20th challange?

another question do you think the detour bar could be used everyday

its pretty rich.

thanks

and have a great weekend

Jen,

If it were me, and of course this is totally about

will power, I would make one either the ball or my

husband's party my freeday. I would decide during

which scenario it would be easier to eat " my " food and

go with that. For instance, if my husband's party was

at my, or a friend's home, it would be fairly easy to

eat my own food and wrap up any goodies for my next

freeday. If however, it weren't I would take a few

things in my purse, to the ball and go in the girls

room to eat them, concentrating on dancing and having

a social time, rather than the food. If I were

hosting a party it would definitely be easier for me

to skip the food, as I am always too busy with making

things right to eat very much.

By the way, good job on getting up this morning....is

there any way your husband could look after Noah when

he gets up bright and early as well? I think getting

my body adjusted to the early rise is more than half

the battle. Hope you have a good day and you work

this whole " junk " food issue out.

I will make either the party which is Sat my free day, or Sunday the

normal free day. I am hosting the party, so that will be easy since I

am in my home. Then I will wrap some food up for me to have on

Sunday. Friday I will bring one meal with me, maybe two. I just hope

I can carry the will power! Dave can't watch Noah in the a.m. because

he doesn't get up til it's 20 mins before he has to leave! My legs

are sore also from my lbwo yesterday.....and it feels good!

Jen, at the risk of a BFL backlash..I would say that if your hysband

is " going to war " thenI would just take those three days and enjoy

the Sh-t out of them...lots of fun, his favorite foods and then

GOOD sex...alot of it! Just my own opinion. Give him some of the best

memories of his life, so when he comes back he will be thinking how

wonderful life is with you. (with the added plus of a BFL abe there

to greet him when he comes back. You can then use his absense as a

huge motivator.

I totally agree aswell. But if your going to feel guilty in the end

of a guilt free weekend, try and stick with the foods that are

better than the others.

Have agreat weekend

Read the book? There's a listing of foods to get started with. Get

it at your library if you havent yet read it. The basics, you know a

wedge of lean meat, vegetables, sometimes brown rice or a half baked

potato - you just cant go wrong. Read up more on the BFl website

under nutrition at: http://www.bodyforlife.com

Oh and you don't need meal replacement powders - they are just

convenient as are the bars. Eating 5-6 small nutritious meals in

equal protein/carbs/and low in fats - no junkfood, no full sugar

sodas, and drink lots of water and you are off to a good start. :-)

Hi ! I too am a lurker, but I'll jump in here for ya. You are lucky to

have fresh goat's milk. That's one of the luxuries living in the city doesn't

allow. :-( The lye calculator is easy to use. There are a few out there, but

the most commonly used one is at

http://www.thesage.com

The link is right at the top of the page. You just put in the amounts of the

oils you want to use and it tells you how much water and lye (their preferred

range is noted) to use. They also have great recipes and product descriptions,

in case you wonder what a certain oil is for.

[Guest guest]

Hi, !! I've attached my favorite lye calculator and sent it to you

personally. I use it because I can use it on my desktop and manipulate it as I

need.

You can download that calculator from www.millersoap.com. Other good calculators

can be found at the following sites and tons of others: www.the-sage.com,

http://www.soozcorner.com/formulator/soapformulator.htm,

http://www.soapcrafters.com/rwriter.html.

Have fun with it!! I wish I were close to you and could buy some of your

wonderful goatmilk!!!

Hello

My name is and I live in Mississippi. I am a silent

participant on this wonderful group and have so much to learn from

all of you. My daughter (sarah) and I aspire to have the time to

make wonderful products with our abundant flow of goats milk we

produce here on our family farm. I love reading all that each of you

write and would like to say thank you for being so willing to share

your knowledge. I have noticed the lye calculator information and am

VERY curious about how to find this and then how to use it. If any

of you is able to supply me with the information for this " product " ,

please write. If you have something you could send to me privately,

my e-mail address is: davisds5@...

Thanks in advance for your help and have a blessed day
