Good Morning America!

Good Morning Everyone!

It is pretty early in the day. Approximately 4:40am or so. I am awake at this hour trying to make sure the sun still rises from the East. Sometimes its hard to tell if it still does.

I am not sure if anyone notice, but during the winter our skin tends to dry up and turn into a desert. Usually from the harsh wind and dry heat from indoor heaters. My legs have been itching for the last four days. Mostly my right leg. Other than the weather, I have tested a product from "As Seen On TV" called "Smooth Away Hair Removal System". Now I am definitely hating myself for trying it. The system does smoothly and painlessly remove hair, however the trade off was pale itchy skin. Now I can only sigh and wish I stuck with waxing. Not only that My skin along my stomach has broke out into an itchy rash. I am not sure where this rash came from, but my body have been feeling uncomfortably dry for a while now. I have tried my best to lotion up every night before bed. I think what I really want is to soak in a tub of milk or oil. Most likely milk since it would be hell to clean up after an oil bath and I wouldnt want my housemates to slip while showering.

Well, my skin is now undergoing some intense moisturizing treatments. Four days ago after work I jumped into my newly cleaned tub filled with warm hot water and my Senses and Scents company's coconut milk bath powder. I was so excited i nearly dropped the container in. I threw nearly 4 heaping scoops in. I sank and nearly died loving every moment of it. My skin felt super relieved. I could feel the skin along my stomach and leg feeling raw from the constant scratching for the past weeks. I soaked in the bath water for over an hour, AN HOUR! I have never sat in a bath longer than 30 minutes not even in a jacuzzi. I always felt bored and overheated to continue sitting. Bathing is quite relaxing when your muscles/mind are tired. Other times you just get dead bored. Music gets repetitive. Magazines get wet and soggy. Snacks become tasteless. I figured what I really wanted to do. "Catch up with friends" I spent nearly the entire time either on my cell phone talking or instant messaging. It was a blast! Other than worrying if my phone was going to drop in the water, I was able to make plans, gossip, joke around, and feel relaxed.

After my bath, I felt great and my body was radiant. Over the next couple of days I avoided all soap and detergents for cleansing my self. I let my loofah handle cleaning off the dirt and grime. Afterward a good light lotion was slathered all over. Now the itchiness is still there, but the rash is minimizing. My legs are dry and itch only a little. I plan on doing another bath today and continuing my daily regiment and adding another bath in my next weeks schedule. Hopefully, my skin will be back to normal soon...
