natural scrub

sugar body scrub!

i saw this while reading Shape, so thought i'd try it. its pretty good for targeted dry spots.

1. cut orange into half
2. juice one halve of the orange, keep other half intact
3. to the juice add olive oil and coarse sugar granules
4. mix well
5. use intact halve of orange as loofah and rub over dry spots (like elbows, kneecaps, heels)
6. rub sugar mixture over said dry spots
7. wash off with water

an alternative would be a salt body scrub.
this is taken from a book "bikini fit".

1. take a handful of coarse salt
2. add two teaspoons of oilve oil to form paste
3. rub salt mixture over

ohh, and i received an email from my mom. while eating, its better to drink warm water. the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. and this would slow down the digestion. once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. it will line the intestine and soon turn into fats and lead to cancer. therefore, it is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

so keep fit and be healthy! (darn, now i'll need to exercise...)
