Sunscreen Lotion Recipe

Natural-Protection Cream

3 tbsp. unrefined sesame oil
1 tbsp. unrefined avocado oil
1 tbsp. unrefined jojoba oil
1 tbsp. walnut or almond oil
1 tbsp. shea butter
2 tbsp. cocoa butter
1 tsp. beeswax
1 tsp. soya-lecithin
2 tbsp. aloe-vera gel
2 tbsp. rose or lavender water
1/2 tsp. borax powder
20 drops carrot-seed essential oil


1. Melt the first 4 oils, butters and beeswax in a double boiler over medium heat until just melted. Add the soya-lecithin, and stir to blend. Remove from heat.

2. In a small saucepan, gently warm the aloe-vera gel and rose or lavender water, and stir in borax powder until dissolved. Remove from heat.

3. When the oil and water mixtures are still warm to the touch and about the same temperature, set the small saucepan into a bowl of ice. Drizzle in the oil mixture while mixing rapidly with a small whisk; a cream will quickly form.

4. Add carrot-seed essential oil and blend thoroughly.

5. Store in a clean, airtight jar or bottle, and refrigerate.

My Simple Intentions.......

The Intention: Eat only whole foods and organic whenever possible.
The Habit: Shop every Thursday at one of the organic groceries in the city.
The Habit: Cook a new recipe each week, with a new-to-me ingredient if possible.

The Intention: Hike into and explore new areas when camping this summer.
The Habit: Move in Oxygen for at least 30 minutes every day. Either with Susan or walking in my neighborhood.
The Habit: Do upper and lower body endurance and strength building excercises for at least 20 minutes every second day.

The Intention: Rediscover my creative self.
The Habit: Put pencil to paper each day.
The Habit: Devote one hour each weekend to doing a craft project.

The Intention: Stop procrastinating and begin living more spontaneously.
The Habit: Make a household chore list and do one item from that list nightly as soon as I finish dinner.
The Habit: If there is a concert, art exhibit, play, etc. that only I would be interested in seeing, go to it by myself. Do not wait for someone else to go to it with me.

My intentions are simple, but this is only the beginning. Can't wait to see what my intentions will be on April 16, 2009.

First time I have ever made a list like this. It's satisfying. I have a simple road map for the next part of my journey...
