lovely oils

one of the many reasons i started blogging is because i felt like i needed another creative outlet. at work, my creative outlet is my newsletter. outside of work? other than dining at some of the top rated restaurants in the city and checking out cool live music from time to time, nothing immediately comes to mind. i love to paint, but the cold weather makes it tough since i cannot open any windows to air out the paint fumes. and painting without proper ventilation gives me headaches, so it's really not an option this time of the year. 


even though blogging is delightful, i sure do miss my oils. 

one type of oil that i use year round is of the olive variety.  :) ever since i can remember, i've heard all about the health and beauty benefits of olive oil. most of us know that it's a tasty, healthy fat that helps prevent heart disease, and it makes your hair look really shiny and soft (after a single hair conditioning!). but there are other really interesting benefits too...


got an earache or excess wax? apply warm olive oil to your ear. cat developing a hairball? put some olive oil in his food to help it clear easily. hubby's snoring out of control? have him drink a tiny bit of olive oil-- it will soothe the throat muscles and prevent the snoring. wild, huh?
