Spring cleaning

CALMING AROMAS: Forego the facial at the spa and save a little money by trying this home treat:
Put on a kettle of water and wash your face while the water comes to a boil. Put a tablespoon each of lavender and rosemary into a large bowl, and add a few drops of peppermint oil and a chamomile tea bag. Pour the hot water into the bowl and cover with a towel for 3-4 minutes. After steeping, hold your face over the bowl, no closer than six inches above, and use the towel as a tent over your head so you create a mini sauna. Let the steam hit you for about five minutes, and then apply your favorite mask. Wash off and follow with moisturizer, eye cream and lip balm. The steam will open your pores, allowing the mask to do its work more effectively. Now take that $100 you saved and buy a massage, those are harder to recreate on your own.
