More Help For Restless Leg Syndrome

I have written about other remedies in the past that I had found helpful for Restless Legs but since not everything works for everybody I like to pass along any new things I discover.

My latest discovery for dealing with that unbearable twitchy, indescribably uncomfortable feeling in your feet and legs is a new way to use peppermint of all things.

I noticed this bottle of green Foot Lotion in the section devoted to bathtime products in the Dollar Store. The name of it is, quite simply, Peppermint Foot Lotion. It is said to be good for tired, aching feet and feels cool and soothing when you rub it into your skin. It sometimes tingles briefly and after a few moments you should notice that the restless discomfort is gone. It works for me and it is so nice to be able to deal with something so annoying so quickly and easily.

It is a good sized bottle too; 8.5 ounces - a lot  of foot relief for $1.00 and made in the USA . Good for Dollar Tree Stores!

                   FINALLY BACK                    

I intended to be back a lot sooner but somehow managed to get locked out of my own blog and was unable to get it fixed. (my computer skills are nearly non existent  but let's not let it get around)

Anyway, here I am - not really quite sure how : ) but it's the results that count right? My next post is about  - well, you will find out shortly.  : )                                       

It's been a long time since I have written anything on here and yet I still hear from people who have come across this blog and send comments. Some are very nice ones and I thank you for that. Lately I have been encouraged to start writing  (here) again so there will be new posts soon.

Faces

Is everyone unhappy? I was people watching in Wal Mart recently and noticed no one looked happy. Or contented. Some faces were tired, some strained, some stressed, many looked worried. A lot of people were obviously impatient, in a hurry.
The worst faces looked numb. Blank. Like they weren't feeling anything. Hopeless.
Ok. I know that's only one store. But there were a lot of people there - and no laughter, no smiles.

At this store, we have a greeter who always says" have fun" as we get our carts. It doesn't look like anyone does.

I wonder if all those people hate shopping or just don't like WalMart. Do they morph into cheerful, relaxed people when they escape the most famous 'box store'? Or do they carry that discontented aura home along with their purchases, and live with it always?

I should mention that this store is in a fairly decent area. Most people own their own homes, there isn't much crime, the parking lot is full of new or not very old cars. We are supposed to be the lucky ones, living the American Dream.

What do you think? Have you noticed this? Do you feel the stress while shopping or do you enjoy the WalMart experience?

I'm back and just fine

I have fibromyalgia and had a flare up. I used Magnesium and a homeopathic remedy called Muscular Tissue I - works like a charm and very quickly. As I understand it, this remedy delivers oxygen to the muscles, which is in short supply with Fibro and causes the pain, numbness, etc. I was actually fine the next day but had a serious power outage - then went on to some other problems I had to deal with. Life is never boring. Aggravating, but never boring.

No Posts For Awhile

I'm having a lot of trouble (and pain ) with my hand and wrist, unfortunately it looks like I will not be able to post for awhile. Be back when I can.

Herbs For Your Winter Kitchen

One way to brighten our spirits during the long winter is to grow herbs in our kitchen. There are a lot to choose from, but Chives are one of my favorites. It's super easy to grow and doesn't require any special care. This one will grow where the light isn't ideal. At least it does for me. It's a great addition to stews, salads, soups, or fish. The mild, oniony flavor also makes it a perfect garnish for pototoes and souffles.

Mint is another favorite, easy to grow herb that doesn't require a lot of light. Great for adding as a garnish, with your vegatables, lamb, or making your own tea. The minty smell is refreshing and in the depths of winter doubly enjoyable.
Mints like a lot of water but don't let them stand in it. Keep the saucer under your pot dry.

In my opinion, herbs on the windowsill make a kitchen feel homey and cozy. It will also make you feel like a gourmet cook and will impress your friends.

Feel like sharing? A small sprig put into water will quickly grow roots and then can be planted to become gifts for your friends.
