em1282 --this is for you!
For most bath salts recipes, you can use your choice of Epsom salts or sea salt, with baking soda, if desired, or a combination of all three. One good mix is one cup of Epsom salts, with 1/4 cup of sea salt, and two or three tablespoons of baking soda.

Inexpensive home remedies using salt......
Salt has powerful anti-bacterial properties, and has been
thought to draw out impurities. Packs made with heated salt
were often used to relieve pain and swelling, and hot compresses
of salt water were used to reduce infection and inflammation...

Every year I tell myself that I'll do handmade gifts for the people on my Christmas list. Every year, I promise myself that I'll start early and finish quickly. And well, apparently I can only keep one of these promises (the second, I'm anal retentive that way!)
But I always think to myself that this would be a great gift for some lady in my life - mother, grandmother, sister-in-law, whoever!

This little peeper just wants to please! Turn his head to the right and his eyes change from blue to white and his beak dispenses salt; turn it left and his eyes turn black and of course his beak pours the pepper.

Choosing a signature scent is difficult, especially when it's for mom! When the Holidays arrive, shopping can be nerve racking and totally last minute. Relax!

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

According to researchers, there's a magic number—and it's 40 percent. In a slightly hilarious study, scientists from the University of Leeds found that showing 40 percent of your skin attracts the most men. Exactly how did they nail down this figure?

Yesterday, I had a crummy, stressful day at work. It was one of those days when the higher-ups are freaking out about an impossible deadline at the end of the week, getting everyone else all stirred up and anxious, only to find out later that the deadline is actually two weeks away. It was frustrating and tiring.
