Swedish Massage to the Rescue
A relaxing Swedish massage is all I need to unwind from a day of the crazies. Traditional Swedish massage was developed by a doctor in the 1700s and is based on the theory that by applying pressure and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart, you’ll relax the muscles. This practice uses five main strokes to achieve its relaxing and healing effects. Through kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles (so it’s not as painful as those deep tissue massages), you will drift away!

Do I Smell Garlic?
If you suffer from goose bumps like I do, you know how hard it is to shave your legs.  When savvy girls in Russia cut themselves shaving, they rub cloves of raw garlic on the affected area. Garlic contains antibacterial compounds that help heal those nicks and cuts – fast.

Tip: For a smoother shave, start off your shower with a good exfoliating scrub. Sloughing off dead skin will make your shave smoother, and you’ll be less likely to nick yourself.
