Overindulge last night? Essential oils of Juniper Berry, Cedarwood, Grapefruit, Lavender, Rosemary and Lemon help soften the effects of a hangover. Make your own blend of these oils and use a total of 6-8 drops in a bath.

Stress-soothing massage oil - Mix 2 drops each of Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Chamomile and Bergamot essential oil with 5 tsp carrier oil (e.g Sesame Oil.) Stir mixture and massage into body. Or try adding Stress Relief blend to a carrier oil.

Inhale the aroma of Peppermint essential oil to help curb the appetite and lessen the impulse to overeat. Or try inhaling it before and during a workout to help boost your mood and reduce fatigue.

Bath Salt - Mix 1 cup each of sea salt, Epsom salt, baking soda and 20-25 drops of essential oil. Try Aphrodisiac blend, Geranium, Rosewood, French Lavender or Ylang Ylang. Use 1/4 cup per bath.

tub envy

Sigh. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a bath tub in the little pied–à–terre we are renovating but I am looking around and trying to find a spot for one. If I could work out the privacy issue, I'd have a bathing room that opened up completely to the garden. I could soak my cares away amidst the scent of lavender and roses watching the hummingbirds and butterflies make their rounds on a sunny morning or slip into a midnight bath and count the stars. —Doesn't that sound heavenly?

The wood elements and mix of textures in the rustic bathing room above results in a cozy, enveloping feeling. To make it ideal, I'm imagining a fireplace on one wall and on the other, a bank of French doors open to a lush garden. Actually, scratch that. As long as I'm dreaming... I'm in the bath overlooking rolling hills somewhere in Tuscany. Let's see...Montepulciano...San Gimignano...Yes. That's the ticket.

Ahhh. ...Take me away!
