Beauty Sleep Remedies
Restful sleep is the best thing you can give your body.
I don't care how glamorous some of those
hollywood celbs look in their 10, 20, 100 thousand dollar dresses
if they are sleep deprived because of those all night parties,
it will catch up with them and speed up the aging process!
I also read in an article that not getting enough rest can actually
contribute to weight problems;
well that is all I needed to know to go grab my pillow!
(Who am I to argue with nature?)
But if lying down in bed
is not enough to bring on the shut eye,
here are a few remedies that don't include counting sheep:
1. No Caffine (Duh!), but even that Frapuchinno
with whipped cream from Starbucks can
keep you up way past your bedtime!
Instead, have a cup of chamomile tea!
2. Put a 1 or 2 drops of Lavender or
Roman Chamomile essential oil on your pillow
just before you put your head on it.
3. You can whip up this simple sleep balm
