When You Feel Gloomy

Do cloudy skies have you feeling gloomy?  Slather on a ginger lotion and the gloomy feeling will be gone in a cinch.  To do:  combine 1 cup of unscented lotion or sweet almond oil, the contents of 3 vitamin E capsules and 5 drops of ginger essential oil.  Right after your shower (or throughout the day to soften) massage the mixture into skin, focusing on the decollete and parched areas.

Ginger has compounds that help improve mental alertness and memory and relieve headaches.  Its gingerol also warms skin and revs circulation.
