Write this down … When you learn to love

Write this down … When you learn to love, forgive, and honor yourself, you light the way for others to do the same. It brings tears to my eyes. It’s from 5 Gifts to Give Yourself. A good read. Please tell Lori how you liked in by leaving a review on Amazon for her. I know it will mean a lot to her when she hears that her little book is making a difference. – http://ow.ly/gYTH1

2013 is going to be the year of “Health

2013 is going to be the year of “Healthy Helen”. Want to join me? I’m going to share a major part of the health protocol that had me beat cancer. 2 years ago I had a 10% chance of survival when diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. Let’s use this info to maximise life! I remember being in Sydney North Shore Hospital, Roger had filled the room with healthy stuff, and thinking “What if people did all this when they were well, not when they were sick. How great would they feel?” So … don’t wait for the big C to come along before you get healthy – do it now. Doesn’t matter what your age, where you are in the world just as long as you want to get healthy, feel great and even lose weight. I will be starting the “Healthy Helen” online community. Let’s make the technology work for us – it’s a secret group on Facebook – a group of people wanting the same goal…more health. Extreme health! A place where you can get support, and give support. You’ll start with a 30 Day Nutritional Cleansing Program (or 9 Days) to become part of the group. Three of my dear friends are already on board. Contact me and let’s get started! Here is a photo of me having chemo as a reminder of how far I have come. Compare this with my profile picture! Hope to hear from you soon… http://ow.ly/i/1lBlv

If you are a hard working person who for

If you are a hard working person who for one reason or another has missed the lesson of how to keep enough of your money to ensure financial security for yourself and your family you might like to read ‘Why Piggy Banks Don’t Work’ (due for release in February 2013 – register at http://ow.ly/gqKyb to be notified when it’s available). It is for anyone you know who wants to break the cycle of scarcity of money in their family’s life and the constant stress that results from a feeling of never having ‘enough’. http://ow.ly/i/1jiQh

Helen Bairstow’s Story

Way back in 1981 I studied to become a beauty therapist. Eventually owning three beauty businesses which gave me access to insider information … but I didn’t like what I saw.
I started to question the manufacturers about the ingredients in the products I was recommending and selling. In the late eighties I discovered aromatherapy (when people didn’t even know what the word meant!). While studying to become a clinical aromatherapist in London I began to see how natural ingredients were more effective AND less damaging to the skin. Using my skin as a laboratory I investigated how nutrition and natural therapies can make a positive difference to the health of your skin. As a result I became VERY disillusioned with the beauty industry. I could not live a lie any longer and in 1997 we sold-up and left the beauty industry behind. In 2001 I started a marketing company. My friends who wanted their skin to look like mine wanted my ‘skin secrets’. So a book was written about what I had learned about the beauty industry rip-offs.
If You Want Great Skin, Throw Away Your Cosmetics” was published in 2004 but seems people were not yet ready to hear this information. They just loved their fancy jars of stuff too much – seriously. So I went on with life…

Which Essential Oils for Skin Care

Learn how to use aromatherapy to make your skin healthy and look great. You’ll be able to replace all your expensive cosmetics.

With hundreds of essential oils, some of which are even toxic to the skin, I have selected 14 of the most dynamic essential oils to use for skin care. Chosen after years of using essential oils every day on my own body and face and having used them on clients in the beauty clinics. Read first about each oil to discover how it can help your skin and then use the A to Z of Essential Oils for Skin Conditions Chart at the end of this section as quick reference guide.
The Whole Skin with a Focus on One Layer
Each essential oil has an effect on the entire skin structure, yet some have a more specific effect on one of the layers of skin – epidermis, dermis and sub-cutis. To treat your skin as a whole each essential oil has been categorised into its specific effectiveness of which layer it has an effect on.
For each essential oil I have indicated which layer of the skin this oil is most effective at … top layer (epidermis), middle (dermis) or base layer (sub-cutis).

What Is The “Acid Mantle”?

The acid mantle is a combination of the sweat from your sweat glands and the sebum (your skin’s natural oil). The two are a gift from nature secreted onto the surface of your skin.
Please take note: the difference between secretions and excretions – both being very important to the skin. Secretions are used by the body, where as excretions are substances the body has no use for, like toxins. The combination of these two secretions, sweat and sebum, form an acidic environment which provides protection for your skin from ‘bad bacteria and germs’. I use the word ‘bad’ bacteria because there are friendly bacteria and organisms living on our skin over our entire body. For example; did you know that there are microscopic ‘friendly bugs’ that live in our eyelash roots that clean out the follicles of our lashes to keep eyelashes healthy?
This is a good reason to stop using harsh waterproof mascaras as you could be unknowingly killing off these useful and friendly guys. Like everything in nature there is a very delicate balance and unknowingly we often mess it up.
