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.

Experience the Difference With the Digital Slr Cameras

Experience the Difference With the Digital Slr Cameras

Normally, the cameras which are not loaded with the SLR feature will not give the photographers the exact view of the subject which actually appears in the final photograph. But, the SLR feature helps the photographers view exactly what will be captured by the film or the digital imaging system. Before the introduction of the SLR camera which stands for single lens reflex all the classical cameras had two optical light paths. This optical light path helps capture photographs well when the subject is at a middle or longer distance. But, when it comes to close-up shot its efficiency goes low. Moreover, the cameras which are not equipped with SLR feature perform very poorly while capturing photos in low light and while using low speed films.

Till the 90s, the cameras equipped with the SLR feature were the most advanced cameras. But, the recent developments have left even the digital SLR cameras far behind. Today, the latest compact digital cameras are equipped with LCD. This helps view exactly what CCD captures. Today, such digital cameras are available at flexible prices in the market. Yet, the SLR cameras are very popular among the professionals and the amateurs because of its clarity and shadow details. The photographers can manually adjust the focus in the SLR cameras and they can also be automatically focused by the auto focus feature. It also supports matter focusing screen to diffuse the light that may spoil a photograph. Thus, these features help get exact viewing, focusing and composition.

The digital SLR cameras have a larger sensor in comparison to many other brands. This helps capture quality photographs even in low light. When the sensitivity of the camera is larger it helps increase the quality of the captured photographs. The sensitivity of the SLR camera is pretty large. The range of the digital SLR is 100 –1600 and it depicts the sensitivity of the digital SLR.

Moreover, the quality of the SLR cameras has further increased over the years. Now, this camera functions faster. The time this camera takes to capture the subject right after the click of the shutter is incredibly faster. But, typical cameras take about 0.5 seconds to complete this task. It is a pretty longer time in comparison to that of the digital SLR. Definitely, one cannot ignore the capacity of the battery as you consider the other features of the SLR digital cameras. With the capacity of the digital SLR you can capture approaching 2000 shots. Moreover, you can interchange the lenses of the digital SLR cameras.

Every thing has its own disadvantages and the digital SLR is no exception. In comparison to typical cameras the digital SLR’s weight and size are more. Since, this camera does not possess LCD screen it is not possible to preview the images in this widget. To view the images in this camera it requires additional accessory. Moreover, the prises of the lenses of the SLR camera may be more than that of the camera itself.

The digital SLR cameras help the users know immediately whether the photographs they have taken are of good quality. So, it helps users take better photographs. In monetary terms as well this camera proves to be profitable as the users need not purchase rolls of films. They can just use memory cards which are reusable and can support hundreds of photographs. Moreover, the battery of this camera is rechargeable and it lasts for years if handled properly.
