Body Wraps The Ulitmate Spa Experience

If you have never had a body wrap you don’t know what you are missing. They provide relaxation, rejuvenation and skin conditioning. There are wraps for moisturizing the skin, detox wraps and cellulite removal wraps.

A body wrap is just that, your body is wrapped in towels/ bandages which are soaked in a specially formulated solution specific to your skin type. They typically contain essential oils, minerals and other ingredients to remove toxins, reduce inches and/or cellulite and skin conditioning.

My girlfriend gave me a spa treatment for my birthday a couple of years ago which included a body wrap. I admit I was a little hesitant about exposing my entire body but the Spa did provide paper panties and bra and my anxiety was immediately diminished. The estheticianist took my measurements around my waist, thighs, arms etc., before the body wrap and afterwards there was a significant reduction in inches. It was truly a wonderful experience.

Unfortunately my budget does not allow trips to the spa especially for something as extravagant as a full body wrap. However, the good news is that there are body wrap recipes and kits so that you can easily enjoy this spa treatment right at home.

Below are two body wraps recipes for your enjoyment:

Clay Body Wrap

1 cup bentonite or green clay
1/4 cup sea salt
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups water

Boil water and add sea salt stirring until dissolved. Stir in remaining ingredients. Adjust the water if necessary to form a wet paste. Rub the mixture over your entire body and cover yourself with thin towels or a clean white sheet. Other options are to take a sheet and cut into strips or use ace bandages. Most salons recommend proper wrapping sheets as the compaction helps to squeeze the tissues together for greater results. Lay in the tub for at least 45 minuets to an hour. Shower when done.

You can use a variety of herbs in this wrap depending on the fragrances and properties you like. Recommended for this recipe is any combination of: chamomile flower powder, lavender, rose petal powder, sage, and sandalwood. All of these herbs have beautiful fragrances that will promote relaxation and contain properties that soothe the skin.

Before your wrap:
Take a warm shower to open pores and make your skin receptive to the minerals.
Take something to read, a puzzle book and/or radio. It can get kind of boring lying in the tub watching the ceiling.
Drink lots of water before and during your wrap to help flush out toxins.
Take a blanket or use towels to keep you warm

Both of these recipes will also allow you to do a spot treatment such as thighs, tummy, and upper arms to tone and tighten

Homemade Clay Body Wrap Recipe
1 cup of one of the following ingredients: Capsicum powder, Alfalfa Powder, Fennel Seed Powder, Ginger Root Powder, Yellow Dock Root Powder, Chamomile herb, Ginger herb, or Lavender herb.

1 Cup Epsom Salt
1 to 2 Cups of Clay: Bentonite or Green clay
2 Cups of Boiling Water

Place all the ingredients (clay, herbs, powder, and Epsom salt) in boiling water. Mix thoroughly until wet paste can be seen. Allow the clay mix to cool until it is warm to the touch. Apply the body wrap mix liberally to your body, targeting the most problematic cellulite areas. Tightly wrap (not to tight) your body with the towels, or with proper body wrapping sheets if you’ve got them. Proper body wrapping sheets will typically provide better results. Relax in the tub or in an area that can be easily cleaned. Leave wrap on 45 minutes to 1 hour. Shower and apply your favorite cellulite lotion.

Automotive Auto Body Franchises Have a Lot of Potential!

Choosing to invest in a franchise is a great choice if you wish to be a business owner. Franchises have a better chance of success than independently started businesses. Once you have made the decision to become a franchisee, you need to figure out what type of franchise you would like to open. With the economy not doing so great you need to choose wisely. You want to choose a franchise business that has a good shot at success from the start. Automotive auto body franchises have a lot of potential; find out why.

Let’s start by looking at a few facts! There were 220 million vehicles on U.S. roads in 2003, and that has been growing steadily at approximately 5% per year. So, by using that information we can project that there will be more than 275 million vehicles on the road in 2008. With increasing number of vehicles on the road there will be an increase of vehicles needing repairs as well, which is great for automotive auto body franchise owners. Just to let you get an idea, every 17 seconds a reported rear end collision occurs, and every 8.5 seconds an unreported rear end collision occurs. The most frequent accident on the road is the rear end collision, at almost 29.7%, and 3/4 of these accidents occur at very low speed. That means that almost 30% of drivers on the road will need bumper repair, which is a great service offered by automotive auto body franchises. Not to mention that Nearly 26 Million auto reconditioning repairs are performed annually in the US and Canada! That is a lot of auto body repairs and a lot of profit for auto body repair shops!

Auto reconditioning repairs include body and paint repair, replacement of “bolt” on parts, and glass and interior repairs. Typical damage includes scratches, dents, chips and gouges. Auto reconditioning shops usually offer a wide variety of services such as paintless dent removal, bumper repair, windshield repair, auto body repair, window tinting, wheel rim repair, auto detailing, 3M clear bra installation, lease return inspections, headlight restoration and paint touch up. Some automotive auto body franchises even offer a mobile service, where they will come to you to complete the repairs. Also since auto body repair is affordable many people choose to have it done versus replacement which can be much more costly. With such a wide variety of repairs and services you are sure to have customer bringing their vehicles in for your great auto body services.

So, as you can see with the increasing amount of vehicles on the road an automotive auto body franchise has increasing chances for success. Each year the amount of vehicles on the road is only growing, which means you business will have many opportunities to grow as well.

Start looking today for an automotive auto body shop to invest in. You will definitely have a lot of room to grow as a franchise and become a successful franchise business owner!

Review Nikon D5000 Body

Review Nikon D5000 Body

I have had the camera in my hands for five days. It does so much more than my old Nikon FN. The Tamron lens that I matched with the camera is a great combination 18-250.

I have super light sensitive shots of friends and objects. Nature provides nice light contrast as well!

The user manual is full of examples and cross-references to get you going. I really like the heft and placement of the controls of this camera. I have had photography classes and darkroom experiences. I am Adobe Photoshop experienced, as well. This is going to be an exciting adventure in photography. Give Nikon a try. The few extra bucks for the name is part of the end result. The lens you buy makes a difference as well.

If you are the kind of person who leaves your DSLR locked up in the hotel room because it’s too heavy, get the D5000. At the end of the day, you’ll have more pictures and NO they won’t be worse than the D80 / D90. If they are, then you need to improve your technique :D

I am not going to review the tech specs ([...] has already done it, better than I can). Just want to re-affirm what’s said about the high ISO performance – Simply stunning!

I will recommend the DK-21M magnifier eyepiece as a must have accessory. Makes the otherwise average pentamirror viewfnder much better. Remember to remove the hard eyecup from the DK-21M and combine it with the camera supplied DK-24 eyecup instead.

I bought the 35mm f/1.8 and 18-105mm VR lenses with this camera. Absolute joy to use. And so is the SB-400.

Feels great not to be lugging around “pro” gear and a bagful of lenses and still making wonderful pictures with this little baby.
