Holistic Detox Week 3..."That's why I'm easy"

Well, my holidays are finally over, the jet lag conquered, and hundreds of emails dealt with – yay, time for my first blog post in 2013!

There are also many blogs that encourage me to spend at least 30 minutes a day on the mat doing yoga and meditation. So far, my dairy addiction and tiredness laziness in the morning prevented me from going ahead.

Nighty Night DIY Shower Gel Zzzzzz

Upon request from one of my dear readers, I'll share with you an easy-peasy and fast DIY shower gel recipe. This one is for your relaxing shower at night before bedtime helping you to unwind and calm down after a long day.

Having a very sensitive skin, I shy away from any shower gels or baths you can buy at the beauty counter. Even if they claim to be soft on your skin and moisturizing, I find most of them chemical-laden. Hence I usually blend my very own shower gels. And instead of spending money on a big bottle with one scent only, I can mix it up depending on my needs.
