Green Smoothie Valentine – Day 3 – The Dawn of Love

I’d love to write you something smart and sassy, but I’m too busy taking Kate’s advice and looking in the back of my fridge for that elusive bottle of almond oil.

I know it’s in here somewhere!

- by Kate Nicholson

Today’s pampering involves touch: A self-massage with scented oils. Angela Joyce on www.ehow.com does an excellent series of videos on self massage.  Make your own massage lotion with sweet almond oil or olive oil as a base and add a few drops of your favourite essential oils. (Check with a qualified aromatherapist as to which are safe to use if pregnant or breastfeeding). Close your eyes and enjoy a sensuous experience. You have beautiful skin, and all the smoothies you drink are making it even softer and suppler!

Afterwards, when you’ve showered and put on a fluffy dressing gown, sort out your underwear drawer. Throw out those old grey, stretchy elastic items, sistah! Time to treat yourself to some fabulous sexy new sets! Even if no one else sees them just yet, you’ll know just how delicious and desirable you look under those work clothes!

Day 3.

For new beginnings…
