Write You - Essential Oils To Ease The Heat
If you are a homeowner interested in cashing out equity in your home, how do you know if a home equity loan or refinancing with cash back is a better choice for you? Here is what you need to know in order to make an informed decision.Home equity loans and cash out mortgage refinancing both have their benefits. Choosing the right option for you means determining how you can access your equity without paying too much in fees and interest.Refinancing your mortgage with cash back means you are refinancing your primary mortgage for a higher amount than you currently owe. The difference between your original mortgage and the new one is your equity.Home equity loans come in two flavors: 2nd mortgages and home equity lines of credit. A 2nd mortgage will provide you a lump sum at a fixed interest rate. Home equity lines of credit function like a credit card acco
Summertime Malaise—The oppressive heat can drain our physical strength, agitate tempers or plain just give us those summertime blues. A group of essential oils called the euphoric’s are a great way to beat the heat. These oils work through the limbic system to release endorphins, which generate a sense of well being. I work with grapefruit and bergamot oils (less expensive) as well as rose, jasmine and melissa (these are rare and precious and expensive). When coupled with the water of a bath these oils work to balance the emotions and comfort the soul.

A sales letter website can be very profitable. When I first
started out on the internet I was under the illusion that
you have to build a content site with thousands of pages of
good quality content. Now this does work if you look at
websites like the About portal and other portals such as
AOL. This is a lot of work and may not suit everybody.
There are basically two kinds of websites. Your portal
website where you make money from advertising and your
sales letter website where you have a website with a sales
letter that has really good advertising copy that sells a
product. Now you need a good quality product with a
good niche to get this model to work. If you have very good
sales copy you can get three to five percent of your
visitors to convert to sales. Let us look at the elements that
make a good sales letter for a website.The most important part of thi
Aromatherapy is the fun and holistic use of plant essential oils to treat and balance the body, mind and spirit. These oils are a natural way to minimize the effects of our Houston summer. A few ways that E/O are helpful are in skin care, cooling off, pesky critters, indigestion and the general malaise of the constant heat. I’ll first introduce you to the oils you can use for some summer complaints. Later in the article I’ll talk about specifics for applying the oils to your body.
Skin Care— Sunburn is a common problem for outdoor enthusiasts. Lavender oil is by far the most versatile essential oil in an aromatherapist’s first aid kit. It is also the best oil to use for any problem with the skin such as burns, irritations or insect bites. It is one of the few oil’s which can be used directly on the skin, or neat. For serious burns you can create a blend of oils by adding to the lavender a few drops of blue chamomile oil for it’s soothing effect (it’s expensive, but well worth the investment). Geranium oil is a cell regenerator and a few drops makes a nice addition to your blend. It is a good idea to hydrate the body first with cool water, and apply the essential oils in a moisturizer. I usually blend my oils together in the palm of my hand, add the moisturizer and smooth over my body. This treatment can be repeated up to four times a day, depending on the seriousness of the burn.
Insect bites and repellent—Mosquitoes are a nuisance through much of the year in our fair city. I find a drop or two of lavender oil on the bite with a gentle caress will ease the itching and discomfort. For flea or chigger bites I add blue chamomile to create a blend and apply neat.
Repelling mosquitoes is more difficult. There are two oils which can be used to ward of the frisky pests—citronella and garlic. The challenge here is not to offend your neighbors. I put 20 drops of citronella oil and 20 drops of emulsifier in a 4 oz spray bottle and add water. Shake well before spraying. This solution has worked well for me in the jungles of Mexico and the Amazon (the natives there are not so finicky about aroma as the natives of Montrose). The garlic solution is more potent. Current research recommends 1% garlic oil as a repellent (this solution also kills 100% of larvae with in 24 hours, even in standing water). Of course you smell like a pizzeria, but the industrial chemical alternatives aren’t much more attractive.
Cooling Off—One of the lovely effects of peppermint oil is its cooling of the skin. A cool bath with a few drops of peppermint oil creates a welcome change to the hot and sticky weather. A word of caution, peppermint oil is stimulating. Applications in the evening may inhibit a good nights rest. That’s why I suggest a few drops in a bath as opposed to the traditional 20 drops of oil per bath.
The constant heat can generate headaches. A simple treatment is to use peppermint oil, either a drop, neat on each temple or in cool compress over the forehead. If using a compress be careful of the eyes as peppermint oil can cause stinging.
Indigestion—All the holiday picnics with their barbecues, sauces, potato chips and homemade ice cream can take their toll on the digestive system. A simple remedy is to put one drop of peppermint oil on the tip of the tongue. The flavor will explode in the mouth. This is the only internal Aromatherapy treatment I recommend. Essential oils are highly concentrated and dangerous for internal use. Please respect the use of these oils. A blend of peppermint, lavender and marjoram oils massaged into the stomach area will alleviate some of the discomforts of over-indulgence.

Today, there is a huge selection of not only cell phones but cell phone providers as well to choose from. For most people the normal cell phone is adequate for their needs. However, if you travel a lot, particularly overseas or offshore, you will quickly find that the cell phone you bought doesn't work because there aren't any towers nearby, as in the case of traveling offshore. If you travel overseas, your cell phone won't work there either as they have their own dedicated networks.If you are a business person and you find that you travel all over the globe, or if you find yourself offshore frequently because of the work you do or for pleasure boating, the ownership of a satellite phone is essential for communications with your friends and family back home.Today's satellite phones are economical to buy, though the calling plans will be much more expensive compared

Could it be that the words you are using in your query letters—or in how you are talking to yourself—could be changed to boost and energize your writing career?In his entertaining and revealing book, “Blink,” Malcolm Gladwell talks about an amazing phenomenon. He describes an experiment in which he gives people a series of five words, and asks them to make four-word sentences out of them. An example might be, “shoes give replace the old” and you might make the sentence, "Replace the old shoes." There are ten such lists. He says, “After you finished that test--believe it or not-- you would have walked out of my office and down the hall more slowly than you walked in.”Why?Scattered throughout the list are words like “old, worried, lonely, grey, Bingo, and wrinkle.” He says, “I was making the big computer in your brain think about the state of being old.” Altho

FORWARDThe 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].THERE IS ONLY ONE STORYTHE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is

Finding quality traffic though effective website promotions is the number one area all website owners deal with on a daily basis. There are many advantages to linking your website to others around the world. There are marketing companies that have various ideas on how to increase your exposure. One of these ideas is to increase exposure to your site by having over 750,000 incoming links from websites around the world. The sign up process can be accomplished in as little as five minutes. I have found most website owners are extremely knowledgeable about their product but lack the knowledge to properly market.The biggest concern website owners have is this marketing program going to cause me to receive thousands and thousands of spam mail by linking to other sites? I was amazed to find that there are programs available that will not increase spam email to you. I foun

Here are some simple terms for using aromatherapy in your home:
Neat means using the E/O directly on the skin. Many of the oils are too strong for straight applications to the body. Use E/O neat only when directed.
An emulsifier means a solution which allows the E/O to dissolve thoroughly so it can be added to water. A cup of warm, whole milk is a natural emulsifier or they can be purchased at any health-food market. In the bath this ensures that the oils distribute evenly on the surface of the water to envelope your body as you submerge into the tub.
A compress is a cloth soaked in cool or warm water.
A carrier is any oil, lotion or base that is used to blend the E/O’s together.
Here are some simple rules for creating your own home remedies:
I use high quality oils for treatments. These recipes are designed for the potency of this grade of essential oils. I use oils from Source ‘Vital and Aroma Vera. Many other brands of oils available in health-food stores and boutiques are of a lesser quality. I suggest you spend the extra money to ensure quality and potency for you E/O blends.
For a massage oil or lotion you can use 20 drops of E/O per 1 oz of carrier. For severe sunburn you can use up to 50 drops of E/O per 1 oz of carrier.
For a bath you can add 20 drops of E/O to an emulsifier.
These simple guidelines can help you to use the most potent form of plant energy we have for treating the human condition. Remember to handle all essential oils with respect and they can, in turn, contribute health, balance and well being to your life. For more information about aromatherapy I use the books Aromatherapy An A—Z, by Patricia Davis and The Aromatherapy Workbook by Marcel Lavabre.
