My friend Amy, a therapist, an artist, posted this today and I found it engaging. Sometimes it’s too hard to feel happy, so what do you feel? It’s ok to feel real.
On my walk today, I found myself trying to convince myself how fortunate I am, and how happy I must feel. The only problem was I wasn’t feeling very …
Don’t Try And Make Yourself Happy
We found 99% alcohol at ACE hardware, picked up aloe vera gel from Oceana Market, and we had both Ancient Robbers and Theives from our essential oil stash. I watched a short you tube video and I was off and running.
Mix 2/3 cup alcohol with 1/3 cup aloe vera gel, add essential oil to the tune of 6-9 drops, and wisk it away with a wisk or a fork, but I’ll tell you that my aloe vera didn’t mix so well. Might have been the xanthan gum or the irish moss, but I ended up using a strainer, and filled up three little spray bottles, salvaged from the ruins of spray bottles living in bins, scattered around the hose, like precious jewels.
The robbers and theives made this concoction to mediate coming in contact with bodies who’d died of the plague.
The stuff smells of lemon, cloves, eucalyptus and more. It’s great in a mister, and it’ll remind you not to touch your face.
Stay safe. Wash your hands. Spray this hand sanitizer onto your hands and when the alcohol dries, smell you hands, get the Theives and Robbers into your system.
Mist it into your home.
