It’s a… miracle?

 

I bought a book about Essential Oils in Ottawa, that got packed up at the beginning of the trip. 

We had an easy drive from Saskatoon, and the trip was the least awful of all of the trips for my skin, but I was still so itchy, especially, my breasts. 

Oh yes, they got the WORST of the heat rash. I know, I don;t usually write so candidly, but this was the worst.  It looked like I was wearing a bra of red hives. Then dead scaly skin, back to inflamed red. So I  took an ice cold shower when I got in the door, and ditched my shirt.

This is out of my character completely. I’m more comfortable lounging in clothes, than naked. I’m not a naked person. It’s just not me

So my breasts are so red and itchy, I decided they need some them time to breathe. 

Sam and I got home early, with the intent to grocery shop, well after ice shower number two, I decided my boobs were not up for it. So Sam, being the nice guy he is, let me laze in bed topless while he did the groceries. 

So I picked up the book on essential oils, and man I was wowed at how much information about all of the goodies I bought was not anywhere I read on about 100 websites. 

So, now to the good part. In one page she makes a ‘mousse’ of aloe vera and jojoba oil, after a skin rash left her so itchy she couldn’t sleep. So, I have Aloe and JoJoba oil, I whipped it up… and voila, the red swollen boobs ares so much better. Not 100%, but I think I can live with this for now…!

It’s just 15ml Aloe Vera Gel and 5ml JoJoba oil. Mix it together and add 5ml more Aloe, and voila… a miracle!

I often wondered how much misinformation is on all those websites. I used to edit stuff for a crappy, “how-to” website and I’m guessing a lot of the “writers” didn’t have actual experience with what they were writing about. So I’m glad you found the book with the real expert, and that your breasts are recovering.
