Annointing the Self

I was asked for the recipe of what I use to anoint myself in the mornings.  Here is my current mix:

Oils and Creams:
Face: Wild Carrot Organics soulshine (rose scented)
Arms and Legs:  Inessecents African Shea Oil Unscented
Lips:  Arbourdoun’s Calendula Cream
Tummy: Emrita Phytoestrogen Cream (specifically for menopausal mamas)

Scents:
Wrists:  Aura Cacia Lemon pure essential oil
Feet and ankles:  Aura Cacia Creative Juice (bergamot, lemon and cardamom)


I start with warm slightly moist skin just after showering.  I pour a bit oil into my palm (probably a ¼ to ½ teaspoon).  I massage hands and arms first.  Then I pour a bit more oil and do my legs and feet.   I take a small dollop of soulshine and massage my face, calendula cream for my lips.  Then I drop about 4 droplets of lemon on my left wrist and rub the wrists together.  I drop about 3 drops of creativity juice on each ankle and rub it in.  Finally I rub a teaspoon of phytoestrogen cream some where on my torso. I move it around from place to place each day.  

I take a good look in the mirror and say "Good Morning Beautiful!"  I particularly give love to my belly, my thighs and my booty.  :)
