It is said, that you first must let go of the old, to make way for the new. It’s time to do this for your body.

To start the new year fresh, with a high-functioning, clear and nouished body, a therapeutic detox bath is the answer.  The skin is the largest organ of ingestion. The body can easily assimilate the beneficial nutrients added to the bath water through the herbs, oils and salts. This bath will cleanse the body of toxins stored over the course of everyday living, and replenish and recharge with vital nutrients thus clearing the way for better balance.

The recipe for the bath is simple. Just combine one cup of epsom salts with two cups of baking soda. We add essential oils (grapefruit, rosemary, fennel and juniper) and some Magnesium oil, a critical mineral for nerve and muscle function. If those ingredients aren’t easily available, below are some suggestions for effective variations found in your kitchen.

The water for this bath should be drawn very hot. Stay in the bath as long as you can, keeping the water hot. Soak up the goodness and let go of the rest.  If possible, you should detox bathe twice in the same day. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Today is the big day.  It is the relaunch of bodylish.com into a whole new way of doing business. Our little company is growing up fast!  We are so proud.  In honor of this we have shot our inaugural video, I’ll be making the bodylish favorite … the I (heart) You Bath Bomb.  (Aww … how sweet).  Jay (my chief technical officer and partner in all things bodylishious) will be behind the camera and I will be front and center.

In some ways I’m nervous about the first video and I wonder what I’m going to say and how it will look … in other ways I don’t think I’m nervous enough.  This seems to be my way about the world, I jump in first and figure it out as I go (it’s worked for me for this long).  Don’t tell me if it looks silly, I only want the good news.

Because you care enough to be here reading this, and because I am willing to divulge my bodylish life to all of my closest friends (and fans) let’s meet here, at bodylish.com and watch as life unfolds.  I promise to share the good and the bad, the fun times and the rough … I plan to provide tips and recipes, resources and links and all things that make life a little better in the living.

Here at bodylish, we believe in savoring every moment.  You can start by taking a bath.
