Thinking about all of you, I´m sharing today the recipe of my most beloved cream, and I'm sure that once you try it, you will love it as much as I do.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que hayáis disfrutado de un maravilloso fin de semana! Este post es especial para todas las que estáis en la playa, o disfrutando de las vacaciones, o regresando de ellas... seguro que ya estaréis morenas y muy guapas, y seguro que más de una necesitaréis calmar la piel luego de tanta exposición al sol, al mar y al aire libre. Pensando en todas vosotras, se me ocurrió compartir la receta de mi crema más amada, y estoy segura que si la probáis os encantará tanto como a mí. No podéis decir que no os cuido!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta crema, como veréis por su composición, es sumamente hidratante, pero sin engrasar, no produce ninguna sensación pegajosa, su textura es aterciopelada y muy cremosa, y huele divinamente! Es una crema ideal para cuerpo y rostro, especialmente las zonas que exponemos al sol, porque es muy calmante!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Llevo más de un año utilizándola y me encanta! En invierno la reservo más que nada para el rostro y las manos, pero en verano es una crema ideal para todo el cuerpo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Además de calmante e hidratante, tiene un gran efecto curativo. Como muchas sabéis, me quemé una mano con vapor, y si al principio lo horrible eran las quemaduras, luego lo fueron las ampollas, y cuando se rompieron, lo horroroso fueron las heridas. Evidentemente me dejé curar por un profesional, pero una vez retirados los vendajes comencé a utilizar también mi <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/all-purpose-healing-salve.html" target="_blank">ungüento de lavanda</a>, que es ideal para quemaduras, y luego esta crema que hoy os traigo, y ahora sólo queda la cicatriz, doy fe que esta crema ha hecho maravillas! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luego de un largo día de verano, nada mejor que esta crema para hidratar, calmar, refrescar, suavizar y acondicionar la piel. Probádla y ya veréis!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Crema de Almendras y Karité</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3/4 T manteca de karité</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 T aceite almendras dulces (o una mezcla de aceite de almendras y aceite de coco o argán u oliva)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 a 10 gotas de aceite esencial de menta/manzanilla/lavanda/geranio</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cta almidón de maíz</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">vitamina E</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Llevamos la manteca de Karité a baño maría hasta disolver, a fuego muy bajo, agregamos el aceite de almendras y removemos. Yo utilicé una mezcla de aceites (un poco de almendras, otro poco de argán, coco y oleato de rosas, hasta completar la media taza). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Retiramos del fuego y colocamos nuestro cuenco sobre otro cuenco lleno de hielo, para enfriar la mezcla. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Agregamos el aceite esencial que tengamos en casa, yo utilicé aceite esencial de menta y aceite esencial de manzanilla, ambos con un gran efecto calmante, refrescante y rejuvenecedor. Incorporamos el almidón de maíz y un par de gotitas de vitamina E, si tenemos, y batimos a velocidad alta hasta espesar. Si vemos que le cuesta un poco espesar, llevamos unos minutos al congelador, y volvemos a batir. Con el cuenco de hielo debería alcanzar, pero con las altas temperaturas puede tardar unos minutos en adquirir consistencia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Es muy aconsejable guardar esta crema en la nevera, en un recipiente de cristal hermético, y se conserva perfectamente durante muchos meses, pero también podéis reservar un poco en un recipiente pequeño y llevarlo en el bolso, el capazo de playa o la maleta de viaje. Me lo agradeceréis, lo sé!!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os enamorará también su perfume y su textura, si habéis probado cremas caseras habréis notado que es muy difícil lograr una textura cremosa, esta crema tiene un efecto aterciopelado, muy suave, he untado el dedo para que os hagáis una idea de su suavidad y tersura:</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This cream, as you will see by its composition, is highly moisturizing, but not greasing at all, it doesn´t produce that annoying sticky feeling, its texture is so creamy and silky, and it smells heavenly! It is ideal for body and face, especially the areas exposed to sun, because it is very soothing!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been using it for over a year and love it! During winter I use it basically for face and hands, but in summer it is such a great body cream!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Besides soothing and moisturizing, it has a great healing effect. As many of you know, I´ve recently burned my hand with steam, and if at first what it was terrible was the burn itself, then they were the blisters, and when they burst, what it was horrific was the wounds. Obviously I turned to professional health care, but once removed the bandages I began to use my <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/all-purpose-healing-salve.html" target="_blank">homemade lavender salve</a>, which is ideal for burns, and then this cream that I bring you today, and now with just only one little scar, I can affirm that this cream has done wonders!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a long summer day, nothing like this cream to moisturize, soothe, refresh, smooth and cool the skin. Give it a go and you will see how good it is!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Soothing After Sun Cream</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3/4 Cup shea butter</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 Cup sweet almond oil (or a mixture of almond oil and coconut or olive or argan oil)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6-10 drops mint / chamomile / lavender / geranium </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">essential oil </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tsp cornstarch</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vitamin E</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Melt shea butter in double boiler on very low heat, add the almond oil and stir. I used a mixture of oils (almond oil, some drops of argan oil, coconut oil and rose infused olive oil until filling half a cup).</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Remove from heat and place the bowl on a bigger bowl filled with ice to cool down the mixture.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Add the essential oil you have at home, I used peppermint essential oil and chamomile essential oil, both with a great calming, refreshing and rejuvenating effect. Add the cornstarch and a few drops of vitamin E, if you have, whisk at high speed until it looks like whipped cream. If you see that it takes some time to thicken, take for a few minutes to the freezer, and whisk again. Wih the bowl of ice should be enough, but if weather is too hot, it may take a few minutes to get the right consistency.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I recommend you keep this cream in the refrigerator in an airtight glass, and it is perfectly preserved for many months, but you can also put some cream in a small galss and take it in your bag or suitcase with you, wherever you go! You´ll thank me later, I know!!! :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You will also fall in love with its perfume and texture, if you´ve ever tried homemade creams you should have noticed how difficult it is to achieve a creamy texture, this cream has a really silky feel, very soft effect, I have smeared my finger to give you an idea of its softness and smoothness:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope you're having a wonderful week. Is it so hot where you live?! I don´t know you, but personally one of the little things that makes me feel cool (aside from not turning away so much from the air conditioning!), is to use body mist. I love perfume, I confess, I like all the expensive ones, but I also love to keep an eau de toilette in the fridge and spray my face and neck every time I come into the kitchen. I'm pretty sure everyone in greater or lesser extent we love this feeling!! So today I bring a homemade and natural perfume, ultra refreshing and with a citric touch you´ll love as much as I do!</span></div>

Espero que estéis pasando una bonita semana. Por cierto, cuánto calor hace!! No sé vosotras, pero a mí una de las pequeñas cosas que me hace sentir fresca (aparte de no apartarme mucho del aire acondicionado!), es utilizar colonias frescas. Me encantan los perfumes, lo confieso, me gustan los caros, pero también me encanta guardar un agua de colonia en la nevera y rociarme en el rostro y cuello cada vez que paso por la cocina. Estoy casi segura que a todos en mayor o menor medida nos encanta esta sensación!! Así que hoy traigo un perfume casero y natural, ultra refrescante y con un toque que os gustará mucho!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Todo comenzó cuando mi suegra me trajo de Turquía un agua de colonia "bastante" natural (una vez que aprendes a leer el <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/07/decode-your-cosmetics.html" target="_blank">INCI</a>, nada es igual... le encuentras pegas a todo jaja), resulta que en Turquía cuando entras en algunas tiendas, hay una dependienta en la puerta con agua de colonia para rociar tus manos y que puedas refrescarte. Mi suegra que es una enamorada de Turquía, se enamoró también de esta agua de colonia. Resulta que es casi siempre la misma en todos los locales, con lo cual, empezó a preguntar a las dependientas por su marca y donde conseguirla, hasta que se hizo con una garrafa. Sí, habéis leído bien. Una garrafa, no una botella, ni un envase convencional. Tuve esta garrafa durante más de un año, guardé la colonia en botes pequeñitos con vaporizador, y siempre había una en mi bolso, otra en el aseo, otra en la nevera, etc etc... Total que luego de mucho mucho tiempo se acabó y como tristemente entre mis planes no está viajar a Turquía pronto, me puse manos a la obra, y preparé mi propia agua de colonia. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Huele prácticamente igual, aunque ésta sí que es totalmente natural, sin ningún nombre imposible de pronunciar, como en la lista de ingredientes de las colonias comerciales.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta colonia en particular me parece ideal para el verano, pero veréis que una vez que probáis, ya os encandilará este mundo de opciones y posibilidades!! Mi próximas aguas de colonia serán de melocotón, rosas, lavanda... este verano me ha dado por ahí!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta es mi receta:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Agua fresca de colonia:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">un trozo de piel de limón</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 taza de alcohol (o Vodka)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cta de agua</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 gotita de aceite de ricino</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En un recipiente de cristal hermético, limpio y seco, colocamos la piel de limón y el alcohol, y reservamos en un sitio fresco y oscuro durante 10 días.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pasado ese tiempo, retiramos la piel de limón, y agregamos una cucharadita de agua natural y una gotita de aceite de ricino. Mezclamos bien y guardamos en un recipiente de cristal oscuro. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ya tenemos una deliciosa y refrescante agua de colonia!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para un extra de frescura, os aconsejo guardarlo en la nevera, no sólo esta colonia sino cualquier perfume, este es un tip que conocí viajando por países sumamente calurosos, donde los perfumes deben soportar altas temperaturas, y sólo en la nevera conservan toda su frescura y esencia.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y ya veréis qué delicia una gotas de perfume con este extra de frescura!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It all began when my mother-in-law brought me an eau de toilette from Turkey, "quite" natural (once you learn to read the <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/07/decode-your-cosmetics.html" target="_blank">INCI</a>, nothing is the same... you find so many undesirable names haha), in Turkey when you walk into some stores, there is always a clerk at the door with an eau de toilette to spray your hands if you need to cool off. My mother-in-law is in love with Turkey and its customs, and she immediately fell in love with this cologne. It is almost always the same eau de cologne at those stores, so she began to ask the clerks for the brand and where to get it, until she could manage to buy a carafe. Yes, you read that right. Not just a bottle, and not a conventional container. I had this carafe for more than a year, I kept the cologne in small sprays, and I had always one in my purse, other in the toilet, also in the fridge, etc etc ... Finally, after a long long time we ran out of cologne and as sadly travelling to Turkey is not in our next plans, I got on with it, and prepared my own eau de cologne.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It practically smell the same, but it is natural, without any impossible to pronounce </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">name</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, as in the list of ingredients of commercial eau de colognes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This particular cologne seems ideal for summer, but you will see that once you try it out, you´ll be enchanted by this world of options and possibilities!! My next colognes will be made of peach, roses, lavender... this summer I´ve come up with this unusual plan!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my recipe:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Fresh eau de cologne:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a piece of lemon zest</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cup of alcohol (or Vodka)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tsp water</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 drop castor oil</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In an airtight, clean mason jar, place the lemon zest and alcohol, and store it in a cool, dark place for 10 days.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After that time, remove the lemon zest, and add a teaspoon of water and a drop of castor oil. Mix well and store in a dark bottle.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You´ll have a fresh and delicious cologne!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For extra freshness, try out this tip: keep it in the fridge, not only the cologne but also any perfume, this is a tip I was taught when travelling abroad to countries where the perfumes must resist high temperatures, and they must be stored in the fridge to keep their freshness and essence .</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Spraying your face with cool perfume is just so delicious and soothing!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before leaving I want to thank you all for your wonderful comments, they are such a very great source of motivation!! I say goodbye for this week with all my love and wishing you very happy days!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como he tenido un pequeño accidente doméstico y me toca escribir este post con una única mano :( seré muy breve y concisa (con lo que eso me cuesta!!), así que vamos a la receta, sin más!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Exfoliante de coco y limón</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/4 taza de aceite de coco o de oliva</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 taza de azúcar blanco</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cda coco rallado</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 gotitas de aceite esencial de limón</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ralladura de limón</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Derretimos a baño maría el aceite de coco si se encuentra en estado sólido. En mi caso, utilicé la mitad de aceite de coco y la otra mitad de oleato de limón (piel de limón macerada en aceite de oliva virgen extra, podéis ver como macerar aceites en este post). Mezclamos el aceite con los demás ingredientes, hasta obtener una textura arenosa. Podéis incorporar más o menos aceite o azúcar, hasta alcanzar la textura deseada.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si no tenéis aceite esencial de limón, no os preocupés, no es indispensable. Pero aportará un aroma exquisito y grandes propiedades para la piel. Y si no tenéis coco fresco, podéis utilizar coco rallado deshidratado, el que se vende en cualquier supermercado.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Guardamos en un recipiente de cristal hermético, y antes de utilizar, humedecemos bien la p</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">iel y masajeamos con este exfoliante suavemente y en movimientos circulares.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6rgBaaSLRcXlAPgoG0JbdrZWcMakbn_BwPSUgHhrhtwsrTfQRCHK7XokGG78qF1euP7iaXWNPp1iu2xmCrPdnHDKUypHwMAob1MAQFeDpUOizRwjrude3ah2fQXV3xx9sklXLJT3GWJR/s1600/coconut+lemon+scrub+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6rgBaaSLRcXlAPgoG0JbdrZWcMakbn_BwPSUgHhrhtwsrTfQRCHK7XokGG78qF1euP7iaXWNPp1iu2xmCrPdnHDKUypHwMAob1MAQFeDpUOizRwjrude3ah2fQXV3xx9sklXLJT3GWJR/s640/coconut+lemon+scrub+9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Como sabéis, el coco es nuestro gran aliado en la cosmética natural, llamado el "Arbol de la vida" por sus innumerables propiedades, rico en vitamina E, minerales, ácidos grasos, el coco es un rehidratante natural, bactericida y poderoso antioxidante. El limón por su parte, es un efectivo bactericida, limpia la piel, combate el acné, granitos, puntos negros, brinda luminosidad y elasticidad a la piel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este exfoliante es sumamente hidratante, con lo cual a la vez que limpiamos la piel en profundidad, eliminando las células muertas y limpiando poros, el aceite de coco o de oliva hidrata la piel, preparándola tanto para la depilación como para adquirir un bronceado caribeño!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os animo a probar este exfoliante, en casa es de nuestros favoritos, tanto por su aroma como por cómo deja la piel, es ideal para las piernas, brazos, pies... probádlo y ya me contaréis!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Un fuerte abrazo y nos vemos el jueves!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I´ve had a little domestic accident and I have to write this post with just one hand :( I'll be very brief and concise (such a difficult task for me!!), so let´s go to the recipe!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Coconut & lemon sugar scrub</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/4 cup coconut oil or olive oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cup white sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tbsp shredded coconut</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 drops of lemon essential oil </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">lemon zest</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Melt coconut oil in a double boiler if it is solid. In my case, I used half coconut oil and half lemon infused oil (lemon peel macerated in extra virgin olive oil, you can see how to infuse oils in this post). Mix the oil with the other ingredients. You can add more or less oil or sugar to desired texture.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you don´t have lemon essential oil at hime, don´t worry, it is not indispensable. But it will provide a delicious aroma and it´s great for the skin. And if you don´t have fresh coconut, you can use shredded dehydrated coconut, which is sold in supermarkets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Store in a mason jar, and before using, moisten the skin and massage gently with this scrub in circular motion.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you know, coconut is our great ally in natural cosmetics, called the "Tree of life" for its countless properties, rich in vitamin E, minerals, fatty acids, coconut is a natural antioxidant, bactericidal and powerful rehydration. Lemon for its part, is an effective bactericidal, cleans skin, fights acne, pimples, blackheads, provides brightness and elasticity to the skin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This scrub is extremely moisturizing, so while it deeply cleans the skin, eliminating dead cells and clearing pores, coconut oil or olive oil also moisturizes the skin, preparing both for hair removal and for acquiring a Caribbean tan!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I encourage you to try this scrub, it´s our favorite, both for its perfum as for how it leaves the skin, ideal for legs, arms, feet... Try it and then tell me!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wishing you a great week, I see you on Thursday!!</span><br />

Maybe because you are already there, perhaps you are going to be there soon or maybe this year there is no beach in your plans... but sitting on the terrace or in our comfortable and intimate corner of the house to enjoy a good book or an iced drink admiring the starry night, that also means summer!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I want to share a DIY, although it´s very simple, it holds a certain charm and relaxation, some sand, some small seashells, a bit of sea and a scented candle...</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ideal for the terrace, balcony or garden, but as it perfumes such a delightful way, it will turn any corner of the house into a cozy and intimate space.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Es verano, y verano para la mayoría significa playa. Quizás ya estéis en ella, quizás lo vais a estar en breve o tal vez este año no haya playa en vuestros planes... pero sentarse en la terraza o en un nuestro rincón más confortable e íntimo de la casa a disfrutar de un buen libro o tomar algo fresco admirando la noche estrellada, eso también significa verano! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hoy quiero compartir un DIY, muy muy simple, pero que encierra cierto encanto y relax, un poquito de arena, unas pequeñas caracolas, un poquito de mar y una vela aromática... </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ideal para la terraza, el balcón o el jardín, pero como perfuma de una manera tan deliciosa, transformará cualquier rincón de la casa en un espacio íntimo y acogedor. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Es solo una idea, seguro que a vosotras os sale más bonito! Lo que yo he hecho es recolectar algunas caracolas pequeñitas (algunas ya las tenía en casa, siempre voy por ahí recolectando cosas!!), y un puñado de arena. He derramado unas cuantas gotas de aceite de vainilla en la arena hasta impregnar, y colocado en un vaso amplio (en realidad es una pecera pequeñita). A los lados un poquito de musgo (gentileza del Belén!) y unas piedrecillas azules a modo de mar. En el centro una vela con aroma a vainilla, y alrededor las caracolitas. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si no tenéis arena, podéis utilizar arena perfumada, que venden en cualquier bazar, así como las piedrecillas, caracolas y velas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Durante el día debo destacar que el aroma a vainilla perfuma todo el salón... si pasáis cada tanto por el blog conoceréis mi afán por ir buscando siempre aromatizadores naturales y caseros! Tan dañinos son estos ambientadores comerciales que se empeñan en vendernos una y otra vez!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Por la noche, al encenderlo, el aroma es absolutamente delicioso sin invadir el espacio, no cansa ni molesta, es muy suave y agradable.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Podéis probar otras combinaciones, una decoración con toques de madera y cítricos iría muy bien también... a mí se me ocurren ahora mismo muchas ideas, seguro que alguna pondré en práctica y os lo enseñaré...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que paséis unos muy bonitos días y un feliz fin de semana, nos vemos el lunes con un exfoliante que nos transportará al corazón del Caribe! no digo más! ^^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">It's just an idea, surely you make it more beautiful! What I've done is collect some tiny shells (some of them already had at home, I always go around collecting things!!), and a handful of sand. I put a few drops of vanilla oil into the sand, and placed in a large glass (it is actually a tiny fish tank). On the sides a little bit of moss (courtesy of Christmas decoration!) and some blue stones as a sea. In the center a vanilla-scented candle, and all around, the seashells.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you can´t find sand, you can use scented sand, sold at any bazaar as well as pebbles, shells and candles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">During the day I must say that the vanilla scent perfumes the whole room... if you stop by this blog from time to time, you know how much I´m always looking for natural and homemade fresheners! So damaging are those commercial air fresheners that are determined to sell us again and again!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">At night, if you light the candle, the smell is absolutely delicious without invading the space, not tiring or cloying at all, it is so soft and pleasant!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">You can try out other combinations, decorating with small pieces of wood and citrus may go great too... I can think of many ideas right now, I will surely try them out and show you later ...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you have a very nice day and a happy weekend, see you on Monday with a scrub that will take us to the heart of the Caribbean! no more clues until Monday! ^^</span><br />

I can´t believe how quickly days go by!! for those of you who are already on holiday, I hope you're having a great time, and for which we still have some weeks of work, keep it up!! there is almost nothing, these days will go by and we will be enjoying the long-awaited break!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I want to talk about a problem that affects many people and often plunges us into a spiral which is quite hard to get out from... said like that, it seems that I mean a dramatic situation, but no... or yes, I´m not really sure... sometimes it's so annoying! I´m talking about large pores. If someone suffers this problem, knows it is not pleasant. Our skin is healthy, we eat well, we drink lot of water... then why do we have large pores? It may be due to genetic factors, excess fat or sweating or improper cleaning of the skin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is very common to try to hide these imperfections, we put on a lot of makeup, which in turn makes the situation becoming badly, further dirtying the pores and worsen their appearance. It is a circle!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aquí estamos de nuevo! cómo corren los días!! para las que ya estáis de vacaciones, espero que lo estéis pasando fenomenal, y para las que aún nos queda alguna semanita de trabajo, ánimo que ya no queda casi nada, estos días se pasan volando y ya estaremos disfrutando del tan ansiado descanso!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hoy quiero hablaros de un problema que nos afecta a muchas personas y que muchas veces nos hunde en un espiral del que cuesta salir... dicho así, parece que me refiero a una situación dramática, pero no... o sí, no sé... a veces es muy molesto! me refiero a los poros dilatados. Si alguien lo padece, sabe que no es grato. La piel está sana, nos alimentamos bien, nos hidratamos bien... entonces por qué los poros se dilatan? Puede deberse a factores genéticos, al exceso de grasa o sudoración o a la incorrecta limpieza del cutis.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Es muy habitual que para disimular estas imperfecciones, recurramos al maquillaje, que a su vez hace que empeoremos la situación, ensuciando aún más los poros y empeorando su aspecto. Es un círculo. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Por dónde debemos comenzar a actuar? En primer lugar, manteniendo una <b>correcta limpieza</b> del cutis, mediante una <b>suave exfoliación: </b>os aconsejo cualquiera de los exfoliantes que hemos compartido en este blog, especialmente los que contienen cítricos, que son astringentes y eliminan el exceso de grasa, así como las cleansing grains, aquí encontraréis varias recetas (de <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/pure-rose-cleansing-grains.html" target="_blank">rosas</a> o <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/07/soothing-facial-cleanser.html" target="_blank">de manzanilla</a>), un tónico facial que equilibre el ph natural de la piel (nada mejor que el <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/strawberry-infused-vinegar.html" target="_blank">vinagre de manzana</a>, el <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/oleato-e-hidrolato-de-rosas.html" target="_blank">agua de rosas</a> o el <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/rice-water-glowing-skin.html" target="_blank">agua de arroz</a>), y finalmente una hidratación que no obstruya los poros y permita respirar a la piel.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como con el calor los poros tienden a dilatarse aún más, quiero compartir una receta que es de las más efectivas que he probado, realmente funciona al momento! Se trata de una mascarilla facial a base de clara de huevo, maicena y lavanda, os sorprenderá gratamente!! También es ideal para aportar luminosidad al rostro.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La clara de huevo contiene una alta dosis de proteínas, que contribuyen a la elasticidad de la piel, reduciendo significativamente las líneas de expresión y haciendo un efecto lifting temporal para las arrugas más marcadas. Rico en colágeno y vitamina A, un componente esencial en cualquier producto que trate heridas, quemaduras, cicatrices... La clara de huevo nos ayuda a combatir problemas como la rosácea, poros dilatados, acné y sarpullidos y erupciones cutáneas. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;"> </span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mascarilla facial para poros dilatados</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 clara de huevo</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 ctas de maicena</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 gotas de aceite esencial de lavanda</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Con un batidor manual, batimos la clara de huevo hasta que adquiere un aspecto muy espumoso. Agregamos la maicena y batimos unos segundos más. Añadimos el aceite esencial y mezclamos hasta integrar.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aplicamos sobre el rostro, seco y limpio. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Parecerá que nos estamos aplicando espuma, es una sensación muy agradable y huele muy bien gracias a la lavanda!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dejamos actuar unos 15 o 20 minutos, hasta que notemos que la mascarilla se ha secado y sentimos la piel muy tensa. Aclaramos con abundante agua, aplicamos un tónico e hidratamos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os cuento un secreto: odio utilizar huevo en mis preparaciones cosméticas (alguna vez utilicé en el pelo y detesté la experiencia!!), pero esta mascarilla se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas, el resultado es ideal!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os animo a que la probéis, ya sea que sintáis los poros dilatados o no, aportará un extra de luz y juventud que os gustará mucho!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nos vemos el jueves, con un DIY muy playero, espero que tengais una maravillosa semana por delante!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How should we start acting? First, maintaining a proper <b>cleaning of the skin</b> through <b>gentle exfoliation</b>: I recommend any of the scrubs we have shared in this blog, especially those containing citrus, which are astringent and remove excess fat as well as our cleansing grains, here you will find several recipes (with <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/pure-rose-cleansing-grains.html" target="_blank">rose</a> or <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/07/soothing-facial-cleanser.html" target="_blank">chamomile</a>), apply <b>a good facial toner </b>that balances </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">natural pH of the skin (</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">nothing like <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/strawberry-infused-vinegar.html" target="_blank">apple cider vinegar</a> or <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/oleato-e-hidrolato-de-rosas.html" target="_blank">rose water</a> or <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/rice-water-glowing-skin.html" target="_blank">rice water</a>), and finally a<b> moisturizer</b> that doesn´t obstruct the pores and allow skin breathe.</span></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As with heat pores tend to expand further, I want to share a recipe that is the most effective I've ever tried, it really works at the time! It is a facial mask made of egg white, cornstarch and lavender, I was pleasantly surprised!! It is also ideal for providing light to the face.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Egg white contains a high dose of protein, contributing to skin elasticity, significantly reducing lines and making a temporary lifting effect for the most marked wrinkles. Rich in collagen and vitamin A, an essential component of any product that treats wounds, burns, scars... Egg white helps to reduce problems such as rosacea, enlarged pores, acne and rashes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 teaspoons cornstarch</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 drops lavender essential oil </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With a whisk, beat the egg white until it becomes foamy. Add the cornstarch and beat a few seconds more. Add the essential oil and mix until blended.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apply to dry and clean face. You´ll feel as if you´re applying foam, it is a nice feeling and smells very good thanks to the lavender!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">Keep the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes, until you notice that the mask is dry and you feel your skin really tight. Rinse with warm water, apply a toner and moisturize.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I´ll tell you a secret: I hate to use egg in my cosmetic preparations (once I used in my hair and I hated the experience!!), but this mask has become one of my favorites, the result is simply great!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I encourage you to try this mask out, either for treating enlarged pores or not, as it brings an extra healthy glow that you will love so much!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">See you on Thursday, with a beach DIY, I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope you're enjoying a wonderful week!! Today I want to share a tip for beautiful and strong nails. At this time of year, perhaps because we spend more time with our hands in the water, our nails tend to be more brittle and fragile. I keep them very short but I still feel sometimes they´re quite bendy and weak. So while soaking in this infusion, I remembered I had not shared this easy tip with you. So today I want to share my recipe for healthy and beautiful nails.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que estéis disfrutando de una bonita semana!! Hoy quiero compartir un tip para unas <b>uñas más bonitas y fuertes</b>. En este momento del año, quizás porque pasamos más tiempo con las manos sumergidas en el agua, las uñas tienden a ser más quebradizas y frágiles. Yo las llevo muy cortas pero aún así las noto más blanditas y débiles. Por ello, mientras las remojaba en esta infusión, me acordé que no había compartido aún este truquillo con vosotras. Así que hoy os contaré mi truco para unas uñas sanas y bonitas. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si bien lo más importante para lucir unas uñas sanas es llevar un ritmo de vida saludable, con una dieta variada y equilibrada y una buena hidratación. Comer abundantes frutas y verduras será nuestro mejor aliado, por ser una rica fuente de minerales.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">También es importante protegerlas de los detergentes de limpieza corrosivos, utilizando guantes. Aún así, puede ser que notemos que tardan mucho en crecer, o que al crecer, se acaban abriendo y descamando. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para esos casos, podemos recurrir a este remedio casero que funciona muy bien, aunque requiere cierta constancia, como con cualquier producto, hay que llevarlo a cabo muchas veces, no hay nada milagroso! pero con paciencia, notaréis que las uñas se empiezan a ver mucho más saludables!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Utilizaremos <b>cola de caballo</b>, que es una de las plantas medicinales más antigua que se ha utilizado, se le han atribuido un sinfin de propiedades a lo largo de la Historia. Tradicionalmente, se utiliza en cremas y lociones para <b>cicatrizar heridas de la piel</b>. Ingerida, para <b>remineralizar huesos, cabello y uñas quebradizas</b>, así como para <b>aliviar los dolores articulares</b>. En infusión, debido a su <b>efecto diurético</b>, es muy útil contra la retención de líquidos y la cistitis, además actúa contra la <b>reuma y la inflamación de piernas.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta planta es un<b> gran aliado tanto para perder peso como para prevenir el envejecimiento.</b> Al ser diurética, desintoxica y depura las vías urinarias y la sangre, y esta limpieza interior ayuda a evitar la acumulación de toxinas y la proliferación de bacterias. Asimismo, este efecto depurativo previene las arrugas, atenúa estrías y regenera los tejidos dañados por variaciones de peso. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En cuanto a su uso como fortalecedor de las uñas, simplemente haremos una <span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>infusión concentrada</b></span>, la dejaremos enfriar y sumergiremos las uñas durante 10 minutos, un par de veces a la semana.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para preparar la infusión, agregar <b>3 ctas de cola de caballo en una taza de agua hirviendo.</b> Dejamos reposar unos 5 minutos, colamos, dejamos enfriar y ya podemos utilizarla. Pasado el tiempo de remojo, secamos suavemente las uñas e hidratamos con aceite de oliva, o un <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/infusing-olive-oil.html" target="_blank">oleato de romero</a>, o nuestra <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/coconut-lemon-soft-body-cream.html" target="_blank">crema casera de coco y limón.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si también queréis disfrutar de sus propiedades en vuestro organismo (en estas fechas muchas queremos depurar y librarnos de algún kilillo), podéis preparar una tisana y beberla fresquita de la nevera. Sabe bastante bien y nos ayudará en nuestro cometido.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que lo probéis y me contéis cuales son vuestros trucos para lucir unas uñas bonitas y saludables!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os espero el lunes y os deseo un muy feliz fin de semana!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you're enjoying a wonderful week!! Today I want to share <b>a tip for beautiful and strong nails.</b> At this time of year, perhaps because we spend more time with our hands in the water, our nails tend to be more brittle and fragile. I keep them very short but I still feel sometimes they´re quite bendy and weak. So while soaking in this infusion, I remembered I had not shared this easy tip with you. So today I want to share my recipe for healthy and beautiful nails.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While the most important thing to look healthy nails is to keep a healthy lifestyle, with a varied and balanced diet and good hydration. Eating plenty of <b>fruits and vegetables</b> will be our best ally, as they´re a rich source of minerals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is also important to protect them from corrosive cleaning detergents, using gloves. Still, you might notice that it takes time to grow, or once they grow they start splitting, breaking or peeling.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For those cases, we can use this home remedy that works very well, although it requires some perseverance, like with any product, you must carry it out many times, there is nothing miraculous! but with patience, you will notice that your nails start to look much healthier!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We´ll use <b>Horsetail</b>, which is one of the oldest medicinal plants that have been used, it has been attributed to a multitude of properties throughout History. Traditionally, it is used in creams and lotions for<b> skin wound healing</b>. Ingested, to <b>mineralize bones, brittle hair and nails,</b> as well as to <b>relieve joint pain</b>. Infused, due to its <b>diuretic effect</b>, it´s very useful against fluid retention and cystitis, also <b>acts against rheumatism and inflammation of legs.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This plant is a great ally to <b>lose weight so as to prevent aging</b>. As diuretic, <b>detoxifies </b>and cleanses the urinary tract and blood, and this inner cleaning helps prevent the accumulation of toxins and bacterial growth. This cleaning effect also prevents wrinkles, reduces stretch marks and regenerates damaged tissue from weight variations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To use it as a <b>nail strengthener</b>, just prepare a <b>concentrated infusion</b>, let it cool and soak the nails for <b>10 minutes</b>, a couple times a week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To prepare the infusion, steep 2 teaspoons of dried Horsetail in a boiling cup of water, for around 10 minutes. Let it cool down and soak your nails. After soaking, gently dry your nails and <b>moisturize</b> with olive oil, or <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/infusing-olive-oil.html" target="_blank">rosemary infused oil,</a> or our<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/coconut-lemon-soft-body-cream.html" target="_blank"> homemade lemon and coconut cream.</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you also want to enjoy its properties in your body (at this time of the year, some of us want to detoxify and lose some weight), you can try a Horsetail iced tea. It tastes quite good and will help us in our mission.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you find this tip useful and would be so happy to know your tips for beautiful and healthy nails!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">See you again on Monday and wish you all enjoy a nice weekend!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is perhaps the most important post of this blog, I always wanted to publish it but never find enough time to sit down and write, hope I won´t bore you too much and you find it interesting or useful. Lately, I´ve been offered to try out many "natural" products, I guess with the implicit idea of writing a post about its pros and a few cons, as a way of advertising. However, as I´m not tempted at all by pretty words on any label, though saying "natural ingredients", "eco", "bio" or "organic"... What only counts is the <b>ingredient list</b>, that and no other is the way to discover how much of "eco" and "natural" is in a product. This is the reason of this post, to emphasize the importance of actively avoiding some harmful chemicals, many of them also listed as carcinogenic, and share some tips to learn how to read labels.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
Este es quizás el primer post con el que quería empezar el blog, por una u otra razón siempre se me quedaba atrás, pero creo que es fundamental. En el último tiempo me han ofrecido a probar muchos productos "naturales", supongo que con la idea implícita de escribir un post acerca de sus pros y unos poquitos contras a manera de publicidad. Sin embargo, y como no me tientan las palabras bonitas de ninguna etiqueta, por más que diga "ingredientes naturales", "eco", "bio", "organic", etc etc.. lo que cuenta es la <b>lista de ingredientes</b>, ésa y no otra es la manera de descubrir cuánto de "eco" y "natural" hay en un producto. Este es el motivo del post de hoy, recalcar la importancia de evitar a toda costa ciertas sustancias químicas, totalmente perjudiciales para la salud, incluso muchas de ellas catalogadas como cancerígenas, y compartir algunos tips para saber leer las etiquetas.</span><br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sabemos que nuestra piel <b>absorbe más del 60% de los químicos</b> que contienen nuestros cosméticos habituales, y estamos casi seguros que la gran mayoría de los productos que encontramos actualmente en el mercado <b>mienten deliberadamente</b> en cuanto a la presentación de sus productos, son muy laxos a la hora de llamar a sus productos "bio" y "natural", cuando en realidad aquel producto "natural" que ostentan, sólo se encuentra en un ínfimo porcentaje y al final de una larga y dudosa lista de ingredientes, todo menos "natural".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Qué es el INCI?</b> La Nomenclatura Internacional de Ingredientes Cosméticos que determina cómo deben figurar los ingredientes, en latín y enumerados según su cantidad de manera descendente, esto es, la sustancia más cuantiosa debe aparecer en primer lugar y así sucesivamente. El INCI establece que todos los ingredientes aparezcan en la etiqueta. Esta será nuestra <b>primera manera de valorar un producto</b>, saber qué puesto ocupan las sustancias beneficiosas y poder distinguir las sustancias perjudiciales y nocivas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mencionaremos algunos de los ingredientes más peligrosos y que debemos evitar siempre, no os alarméis por sus largos y complejos nombres, en muchos casos basta con recordar un par de sílabas ya que todos los compuestos que contengan estas letras son peligrosos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Phenol y Phenyl</b>, utilizados como conservantes y colorantes, son un tóxico celular que a largo plazo destruye las paredes celulares. Evitad cualquier ingrediente que contenga esta palabra, pro ejemplo "nitrophenol", "clorophenol", "N-phenl-P-Phenylenediamine", "Phenylenediamine Sulfate"... encontraréis muchas similares y en un sinfin de productos. Para mí, son las más fáciles de distinguir.</span></div>
<div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #474747; line-height: 20px; margin: 5px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>PEGs: polyethylenglycol</b>. Son los emulgentes, aunque de por sí son inofensivos, hacen la piel más receptiva a sustancias. Esto es bueno si los aditivos son sanos, pero es nocivo si son venenosos. Los puedes reconocer por la palabra PEG seguida de un número, así como por las letras "eth" al final, por ejemplo "sodium laureth sulfate" (esta la encontraréis en una gran cantidad de productos como jabones, geles, champúes...), "steareth", "ceteareth", entre muchas otras.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Aceites Minerales</b>: éstos a pesar de su bonito nombre, no tienen nada de naturales ni nutrientes, solo son aceites muy baratos derivados del petróleo. Se utilizan por su bajo coste y porque impiden el crecimiento de bacterias, además hacen que el consumidor note un efecto sedoso en el producto, cuando en realidad es sólo una apariencia, ya que tapan los poros, impiden respirar a las células y extraen la humedad de la piel. Producen un efecto "rebote", al interrumpir su uso, uno siente que la piel está reseca y agrietada y siente la necesidad de volver a utilizarlo, para "re hidratar". Sucede muy a menudo con los bálsamos labiales. Son altamente cancerígenos. Los podemos encontrar con varios nombres: "Mineral Oil", "Paraffinum", "Paraffinum liquidum", "Petrolatum", y compuestos con las palabras "Paraffin-", "Petroleum...", así como la familia de las siliconas: "Silicone quaternium", "Methylsilanol", "vaselina"...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Fragancias artificiales</b>: estos son quizás de los más peligrosos y nocivos porque contienen químicos que influyen en el equilibrio hormonal y pueden resultar cancerígenos y causar daños genéticos. Los encontramos en perfumes, desodorantes, anti-transpirantes. Palabras a evitar: "Acetyl hexametyl" (causa daños nerviosos), "Benzyl alcohol" (insensibiliza la piel), "Bromocinnamal" (irritante), "aluminium chlorhydrate" (lo encontramos en una amplia gama de desodorantes, pueden ser muy irritantes y son sospechosos de causar Alzheimer).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Formaldehyd: </b>potente antimicótico, altamente cancerígeno por inhalación, se acumula en las células dañando las membranas, irrita, envejece la piel. Aunque está prohibido en la cosmética, se utilizan sustancias que lo liberan, aunque en la teoría no lo contengan. Los reconocemos por llevar la palabra "Urea" (como ser, "Diazolidinyl Urea", "Imidazolidinyl Urea", "Polyoximethylene Urea"). No confundir con la palabra "Urea" a secas, que es derivado del ácido úrico y es bueno para la piel. También pueden llevar las letras "DM" delante, como "DMDM Hydantoin", "Dmhf". Otros conservantes liberadores de formaldehyd son "Dimethyl Oxazolidine". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Protectores solares y tratamientos con retinol:</b> se utilizan componentes como "Oxybenzone", "Benzophenone", "Methoxydibenzoylmethane" o "Dibenzoylmethane", todos ellos filtros cancerígenos, capaces de causar alergias en cadena, y están presentes incluso en las marcas más caras y exclusivas.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para finalizar, y dar un poco de ánimos después de un panorama tan gris, quiero compartir unos tips que a mí me han ayudado especialmente para cambiar a una cosmética un poco más saludable:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1.- buscar siempre los productos que tengan una <b>lista breve de ingredientes</b> (menos es más, cuando hay muchos ingredientes, significa que hay muchos químicos!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2.- elegir los productos cuyos<b> ingredientes estén escritos en latín</b> (recordad que si está escrito en latín, refiere a plantas y hierbas, y eso es bueno!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3.- <b>desconfía</b> de los productos del mercado, a veces hay ciertas lagunas en el listado de ingredientes, pero si veis que una crema sólo dice llevar aditivos naturales y coco o almendras, por ejemplo, y tiene una textura cremosa y delicada, y una fragancia increíble, es poco creíble que sólo lleve esos ingredientes y no haya "algo más" que no nos cuentan.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4.- compra los ingredientes y <b>hazlo tú misma,</b> luego de unas semanas utilizando tus propios productos, tu piel y tu organismo notarán el cambio, y te lo agradecerán! Seguramente desaparecerán muchos problemas, como alergias, caspa, irritación, sequedad, ezcema, piel atópica, etc. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero haberos animado en este camino hacia una cosmética respetuosa con la salud y el medio ambiente y no haberos aburrido mucho!! Al final de este post os dejo algunos links de fuentes que he utilizado y me han parecido interesantes, y me despido hasta el jueves, deseándoos una muy feliz semana, llena de paz, luz y armonía! </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We know that <b>our skin absorbs more than 60% of chemicals</b> contained in our daily cosmetics, and we are almost certain that the vast majority of products currently on the market deliberately lie about the presentation of their products, they are too lax to the time to call their products "organic" and "natural", when in fact that "natural" ingredient they flaunt, only appears in a very small percentage and at the end of a long and dubious ingredients list, all but "natural"!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is <b>INCI</b>? The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients that determines how the ingredients should be detailed, in Latin, and listed by number in descending order, that is, the more substantial ingredient should be first and so on. The INCI states that all ingredients appear on the label. This will be our<b> first way to evaluate a product,</b> identifying its beneficial and harmful substances.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We´re going to mention<b> some of the most dangerous ingredients that must be avoided</b>, don´t worry about their long and complex names, in many cases it´s enough to remember a couple of syllables and that all ingredients names containing these letters will be dangerous:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Phenol and Phenyl</b>, used as preservatives and colorants, they are cell toxic, to a long term destroys cell walls. Avoid any ingredients that contain this word, e.g. "nitrophenol", "clorophenol", "N-phenl-P-Phenylenediamine", "Phenylenediamine Sulfate"... you will find many similar names and in a multitude of products. I find that these are the easiest to identify.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>PEGs</b>: polyethylenglycol. Emulsifiers, although they´re harmless by themselves, they make the skin more receptive to any substance. This is good if the additives are healthy, but harmful if they are poisonous. You can recognize the word PEG followed by a number and the letters "eth" to the end, eg "sodium laureth sulfate" (you can find this in a lot of products like soaps, shower gels, shampoos...) "steareth", "ceteareth", among many others.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Mineral oils</b>: despite the pretty name, have nothing natural or nutrients, they are just too cheap petroleum oils. Used for their low cost and because they prevent the growth of bacteria, also make consumers notice a silky effect using the product, when in fact it is only an appearance, because they clog pores, impede breathing cells and remove the skin moisture. Produce an rebound effect when discontinuing use, you feel the skin is dry and cracked and feel the need to reuse it, to `rehydrate´. It happens very often with lip balms. They are highly carcinogenic. We can find various names: ^Mineral Oil´, `Paraffinum´, `Paraffinum Liquidum´, `Petrolatum´ and compounds with the words `Paraffin-´, `Petroleum ...´ as well as the family of silicones: `Silicone quaternium´, `Methylsilanol´, `Vaseline´...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Artificial fragrances</b>: These are perhaps the most dangerous and harmful because they contain chemicals that affect the hormonal balance and can be carcinogenic and cause genetic damage. We find them in perfumes, deodorants, anti-perspirants. Words to avoid: `Acetyl hexametyl´ (cause nerve damage), `Benzyl Alcohol´ (desensitize the skin), `Bromocinnamal´ (irritant), `aluminum chlorhydrate´ (can be found in a wide range of deodorants, can be very irritating and it´s suspected of causing Alzheimer).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Colours</b>: any component with the syllables `aniline´, `anilid´, `acetanilid´ as initials `HC´ (eg `HC orange 3´), `Acid´ (eg `Acid Red 73´), `Pigment´(` Pigment Green 7´) or `Solvent´ (as `Solvent Black 3´), all of them are toxic and highly carcinogenic.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Halogen organic compounds: </b>causing allergies, suspected of causing cancer and as they´re not biodegradable, they´re highly polluting. Combine chloro, bromine, iodine, and can be found under names like `aluminum chlorohydrate´, `methyldibromo glutaronitrile´, `Iodopropynyl´.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Formaldehyd</b>: potent antifungal, highly carcinogenic by inhalation, accumulates in the cells by damaging the membrane, irritating, ages skin. Prohibited in cosmetics, it is released by the use of other substances, although in theory it isn´t included.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Easily recognizable for containing the word `urea´ (such as, `Diazolidinyl Urea´, `Imidazolidinyl Urea´, `Polyoximethylene Urea´). Do not confuse with the only word `Urea´, which is derived from uric acid and it is good for the skin. It may also carry the letters `DM´before, as `DMDM Hydantoin´, `DMHF´. Other Formaldehyd releasing preservatives are `Dimethyl oxazolidine´.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Phtal and Phthalate</b>: used as softeners and solvents, highly toxic and carcinogenic and influence the hormonal balance. For example, `dibutylphthalate´.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Sunscreen and retinol treatments components</b>, such as `Oxybenzone´, `Benzophenone´, `Methoxydibenzoylmethane´ or `Dibenzoylmethane´, all filters carcinogenic, capable of causing allergies chain, present even in the most expensive and exclusive brands . Not only found in sunscreens, but also in creams and retinol treatments.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In <a href="http://www.elcorreodelsol.com/blog/esnatural/ingredientes-cosmeticos-nomenclatura-inci" target="_blank">this link</a> you will find a comprehensive list of components to avoid, but as I said, just remember some letters and syllables, if you find several words containing some of these syllabes in the endless list of ingredients in a product, you will exactly know what kind of product it is and how much harmful it can be to your health.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To conclude and give some encouragement after such a gray picture, I want to share some tips that have particularly helped me to switch to a slightly healthier cosmetic:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Always look for products that have a <b>short list of ingredients</b> (less is more, when there are many ingredients, means there are many chemicals!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. choose products whose ingredients are <b>written in Latin</b> (remember that if it is written in Latin, refers to plants and herbs, and that's good!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. <b>distrusts cheap commercial products,</b> sometimes there are certain gaps in the list of ingredients, but if you find a cream that says it only contains natural additives and coconut or almond oil, for example, and has a creamy and soft texture and incredible fragrance, it is hard to believe that it only carries just those single ingredients and there is "something else" that they´re not telling us what it is. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. buy the ingredients and <b>do it yourself</b>, after a few weeks using your homemade products, your skin and your body will notice the change, and will thank you! Be sure many health problems, such as allergies, dandruff, irritation, dryness, eczema, atopic skin, etc, will relieve or even disappear.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you feel encouraged in this way to a natural cosmetic respectful of health and environment and wish I didn´t not bore you too much!! At the end you can find some links to sources that I have used and I found interesting, and I say goodbye until Thursday, wishing you a very happy week full of peace, love and harmony!</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I dont know you, but heat overwhelms me a lot, summer is definitely not for me, so during these months I try to spend as little as possible under the sun. Still, I hate that sticky feeling that produces heat, and do everything possible to maintain freshness, both in the skin and throughout the house. If you stop by this blog from time to time, you may remember the `cleansing grains´ a non-soap method to purify skin, clean pores, gently exfoliate and restore skin natural balance.</span><br />

Aún así, odio esa sensación pegajosa que produce el calor, y hago lo imposible por mantener la frescura, tanto en la piel como en toda la casa. Si soléis pasar por el blog, es posible que recordéis las "cleansing grains", que son unos polvos limpiadores, sin jabón, que eliminan el exceso de grasa de la piel, limpiando los poros, exfoliando muy suave y delicadamente y restaurando el equilibrio natural del cutis. </span><br />

La receta de hoy es aún más sencilla, sólo 3 ingredientes que seguro tenéis en la cocina y que son grandes aliados de belleza para conseguir un cutis fresco y radiante.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hemos hablado mucho acerca de las propiedades de la avena y la manzanilla para el cuidado de la piel, podéis leer más en este post (<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/la-madre-de-todos-los-jabones.html" target="_blank">aquí</a>), sólo mencionaré que la <b>avena</b> es fabulosa para la piel por la gran hidratación y nutrición que ofrece, y es especialmente buena para el tratamiento de pieles sensibles y atópicas. Hidratante, suavizante, antiinflamatoria... nunca olvidéis la avena en vuestros tratamientos cosméticos!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La <b>manzanilla</b> también es un excelente antiinflamatorio, alivia cualquier irritación, escozor, tirantez, muy efectiva para combatir el acné, por su acción vasoconstrictora y antialergénica. Antiséptica y refrescante, revitaliza la piel y renueva su frescura. Ya sea en oleato, extracto, aceite esencial, tisana, tened también siempre en cuenta a la manzanilla!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como veis, con estos 2 ingredientes maravillosos, nada puede salir mal!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Agregaremos un poquito de arcilla blanca, y ya tenemos nuestra cleansing grain. Desinfectante, revitalizante, remineralizante, calmante, la arcilla blanca es ideal para una limpieza suave y delicada del cutis.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vamos a la receta!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Soothing facial cleanser</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 cdas colmadas de arcilla blanca</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 taza de copos de avena molidos</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cda de manzanilla (o una bolsita de té de manzanilla, que sea orgánico)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">unas gotitas de aceite esencial de manzanilla (opcional)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En un molinillo de café o mortero, molemos la avena y la manzanilla. Procurad que tanto la avena como la manzanilla sean de cultivo orgánico, se consiguen en cualquier herbolario. Si no tenéis manzanilla, podéis utilizar una bolsita de te de manzanilla, simplemente agregad el contenido a la mezcla de avena y arcilla. En mi caso, como tenía una mezcla muy buena de manzanilla y rosas, he molido un buen puñado. Como siempre os digo, no dudéis en improvisar!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mezclamos todos los ingredientes, el aceite esencial es opcional, yo agregué unas 5 gotitas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Guardamos en un recipiente de cristal hermético.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En el momento de utilizar, pondremos un poquito en la palma de la mano, humedecemos el rostro y masajeamos suavemente con esta mezcla todo el rostro unos segundo y aclaramos con abundante agua.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que os guste y os animéis a probarla!! Espero que paséis un verano maravilloso y memorable!! </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some time ago, we´ve shared two different recipes, the <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/pure-rose-cleansing-grains.html" target="_blank">roses cleansing grains</a> and our Lush <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/angels-on-bare-skin-version-casera-y.html" target="_blank">copycat for `Angels on bare skin´</a>. Today's recipe is even simpler, just 3 ingredients you may find in the kitchen and which are great allies of beauty for a fresh and radiant complexion.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We´ve talked a lot about the properties of oats and chamomile for skin care, you can read more on this post (<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/la-madre-de-todos-los-jabones.html" target="_blank">here</a>), I will only mention that <b>oat</b> is great for the skin because of the great hydration and nutrition it offers, and it is especially good for the treatment of sensitive and atopic skin. Moisturizing, soothing, anti-inflammatory... never forget oatmeal in your cosmetic treatments!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Chamomile</b> is also an excellent anti-inflammatory, soothes any irritation, burning or tightness, it´s very effective against acne, for its vasoconstrictor and anti-allergic action. Antiseptic and refreshing, revitalizes the skin and renews its freshness. Whether oleate, extract, essential oil, herbal tea, remember to always include chamomile in your beauty recipes!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you see, with these two wonderful ingredients, nothing can go wrong!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Add a bit of bentonite clay, and we have our cleansing grains! Disinfectant, revitalizing, remineralizing, soothing, bentonite clay is ideal for soft and gentle cleaning of the skin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let´s go to the recipe!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Soothing facial cleanser</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 heaping tablespoons of bentonite clay</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cup rolled oats</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tbsp of chamomile (or 1 organic chamomile teabag)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a few drops of chamomile essential oil (optional)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a coffee grinder or mortar, grind the oats and chamomile into a fine powder. Make sure that both oats and chamomile are organically grown, they are available in any herbalist. If you do not have chamomile, you can use a bag of chamomile tea, just add the content to oat mixture and clay. In my case, as I had a very good mixture of chamomile and rose, I prefered to grind a handful. As I always say, don´t hesitate to improvise!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mix all ingredients, the essential oil is optional, I added about 5 droplets.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Store in an airtight mason jar.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At the time of use, put a little in the palm of your hand, moisten the face and gently massage with this mixture all over your face (avoiding the eye area) for a few seconds and rinse with abundant water.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you like it and you feel encouraged to try it!! I wish you have a wonderful and memorable summer!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hola!! Hoy comenzamos la semana con un post diferente, hace tiempo que no comentábamos algún producto, llevo tiempo utilizando este aceite y quería compartir con vosotros este "descubrimiento": un aceite totalmente natural, compuesto de una mezcla de hierbas y plantas, con efecto frío, y por lo tanto, además de ser un excelente producto capilar, es ideal para masajes, hidratar la piel y reducir los signos del cansancio, fatiga, estrés... Y además, es muy económico y fácil de conseguir!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Entre sus ingredientes, todos naturales, incluye:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>aceite de amla</b>: quizás lo hayáis probado o escuchado hablar de él, se vende en todas las tiendas de productos asiáticos y africanos. Es un aceite natural, derivado del extracto de amla o grosella de India, que fortalece el cabello y previene la aparición de canas, suaviza y protege el cabello, mejora notoriamente su aspecto y reduce el encrespamiento.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>japa pushpa <i style="font-weight: normal;">(<span style="line-height: 30px;">Hibiscus rosasinensis)</span></i>:</b> promueve el crecimiento del cabello y promueve la aparición de cabello en zonas de calvicie</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>bhringaraj </b>(Eclipta alba) conocida como Hierba de Tago: controla la caída del cabello y cura la alopecia</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>sailaja </b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Parmelia peralta)</span></i></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">: </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">combate el dolor de cabeza y ejerce un efecto frío</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>kshir kakoli <i style="font-weight: normal;">(Fritillaria roylie)</i>: </b>hierba revitalizante que calma el dolor de cabeza y la tensión gracias al efecto frío que produce</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>pudina ka phool </b><i>(Mentha arvensis)</i><b>: </b>efectivo analgésico natural, actúa sobre todo tipo de dolores, especialmente musculares y reduce la fatiga mental. Es un gran anti-inflamatorio.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>nagarmotha </b>(cyperus rotundus)<b>: </b>analgésico, anti-inflamatorio, alivia el dolor de cabeza, estimula el crecimiento del cabello, ejerce un efecto frío</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>jequirity </b><i>(Abrus precatorius)</i><b>: </b>altamente curativo y calmante para problemas de piel y previene la caída prematura del cabello</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>lata kasturi </b>(<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #2e2f2d; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;">Hibiscus Abelmoschus)</span>: </b>revitalizante con efecto frío, equilibra la temperatura corporal, muy utilizado en cosmética para la elaboración de cremas, jabones, ungüentos, por sus propiedades astringentes y curativas, y en aromaterapia para combatir situaciones de estrés, depresión, angustia y ansiedad. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como veis, de la combinación de todas estas hierbas y plantas obtenemos dos principales (aunque no únicos) beneficios: </span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">este aceite es <b>ideal para el cabello</b>, promueve su crecimiento, mejora su aspecto, combate la alopecia y cura problemas del cuero cabelludo. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">si sufrís de <b>piernas cansadas o dolores de cabeza </b>ocasionado por situaciones de estrés y agotamiento, este aceite actúa como gel efecto frío, que, a la vez que desinflama, relaja y revitaliza, reduciendo la sensación de cansancio y fatiga, tanto física como mental.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En mi caso, utilizo este aceite una vez a la semana, como mascarilla capilar, antes del lavado, y me encanta la suavidad y brillo que aporta al cabello, así como reduce el efecto frizz que tanto me fastidia. Pero os confieso que cuando vi por primera vez este aceite, lo compré porque necesitaba algún producto que tuviese un efecto frío porque a menudo sufro del síndrome de piernas inquietas, y he comprobado que los masajes que producen efecto frío son muy calmantes en estas situaciones, pero siempre me frena el hecho que todos los productos que hay en el mercado contienen una lista larguísima de químicos altamente tóxicos. En el caso de este aceite, es algo natural y proporciona el mismo efecto frío a la vez que calmante, anti-inflamatorio, hidratante y relajante... es decir, todas son ventajas!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os animo a que investiguéis por Internet y si os apetece, lo probéis y ya me contaréis si os ha dado los mismos buenos resultados que a mí! Creo que lo encontraréis en cualquier tienda de alimentación india, pakistaní, árabe, aquí en Valencia es muy sencillo de encontrar y su precio ronda los 3 euros.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os deseo una muy feliz semana y nos vemos el jueves, con un nuevo post de cosmética y salud! </span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found this all-natural oil an excellent ally of cosmetics. Among its ingredients, all natural, includes:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>amla oil</b>: perhaps you have tried it or heard about it, it´s sold in most Asian and African products stores. It is a natural oil, derived from the extract of amla or Indian gooseberries, which strengthens hair and prevents graying, softens and protects hair, dramatically improves its appearance and reduces frizz.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">japa pushpa </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>(<span style="line-height: 30px;">Hibiscus rosasinensis)</span></i>:</span> promotes hair growth and removes baldness.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">bhringaraj <span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>(Eclipta alba)</i></span>:</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> controls hair loss and cures alopecia</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sailaja <i style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(Parmelia peralta)</span></i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">: relieves headaches and has a cooling effect</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">kshir Kakoli </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>(Fritillaria roylie)</i></span></span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">: revitalizing herb that calms headache and tension thanks to the cooling effect produced.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">pudina ka phool <i style="font-weight: normal;">(Mentha arvensis)</i>:</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> effective natural analgesic, acts on all kinds of pain, especially muscle pains and reduces mental fatigue. It's a great anti-inflammatory.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nagarmotha </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(Cyperus rotundus): analgesic, anti-inflammatory, relieves headaches, stimulates hair growth, has a cooling effect</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">jequirity<i style="font-weight: normal;"> (Abrus precatorius)</i>:</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Highly healing and soothing for skin problems and prevents premature hair loss</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">lata kasturi</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <i>(Hibiscus Abelmoschus)</i>: revitalizing cold effect, balances body temperature, widely used in cosmetics for the preparation of creams, soaps, ointments, for its astringent and healing properties, and used in aromatherapy to combat stress, depression, anxiety and nervousness.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you see, the combination of all these herbs and plants get two main (but not only) benefits:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">this oil is <b>ideal for hair</b>, as it promotes growth, improves its appearance, cure alopecia and scalp problems.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">if you suffer from <b>restless legs or headache or any pain caused by stress and fatigue</b>, this oil acts as cooling gel, which, while lessen swelling, also relax and revitalizes, reducing the sensation of tiredness and fatigue, both physical and mental.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my case, I use this oil once a week, as a <b>hair mask</b> before washing, and I love the softness and shine that gives to my hair and how it reduces frizz. But I confess that when I first saw this oil, I bought it because I needed a product with a cooling effect because I often suffer from restless leg syndrome and have found that massaging with a cooling gel is very calming in these situations, but always stops me the fact that all products on the market contain a long list of highly toxic chemicals. In the case of this oil, it is natural and provides the same cooling effect while soothing, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and calming ... that is, all are advantages!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta receta pertenece a <b><span style="color: #274e13;">"El gran libro de los cereales, semillas y legumbres"</span></b> de Molly Brown y es uno de mis recetarios favoritos, todas las recetas incluyen, como su nombre lo dice, cereales, semillas y legumbres de todos los tipos, desde garbanzos o arroz hasta bulgur, cuscus o quinoa... hay de todo, y de todos los tipos: dulces, entrantes, platos principales, lo que os podáis imaginar. Me gusta mucho la sencillez de los platos, casi todos son muy fáciles de preparar, muy saludables y nutritivos, y me encanta su fotografía limpia y sencilla, donde la estrella es el plato y no los accesorios (como está tan de moda en algunos blogs de cocina).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os animo a haceros con este libro, si tenéis la oportunidad, se encuentra en cualquier librería y su precio ronda los 20 euros.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En casa comemos mucho pan casero, y los panes que contienen semillas y frutos secos son nuestros favoritos, así que cuando vi esta receta supe que nos encantaría, y así fue. Es una mezcla de pan y pastel, dulce pero que no empalaga en absoluto, y esa mezcla de frutos y azúcar moreno le da un sabor único. Es ideal para la hora del café!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os cuento la receta original y a continuación algunas modificaciones que yo he hecho.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Pan de dátiles y frutos secos</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Ingredientes:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">175 gr dátiles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">50 gr orejones deshidratados</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">175 gr mantequilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">175 gr azúcar moreno</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 huevo ligeramente batido</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">100 gr harina de trigo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">125 gr harina integral</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cta polvo de hornear</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 pizca de nuez moscada</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 pizca de canela</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">50 gr de nueces troceadas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 y 1/2 cda semillas de chía y 1/2 cda para espolvorear</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ralladura de naranja</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Preparación:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En una cacerola pequeña pondremos los dátiles y orejones en 125 ml de agua, una vez rompa el hervor, bajamos el fuego y dejamos cocer durante 15 minutos. Retiramos del fuego y dejamos templar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Calentamos el horno a 180º. Forramos un molde con papel de horno.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Derretimos la mantequilla unos segundos al microondas, dejamos templar, y echamos en la cacerola sobre los dátiles con su agua. Añadimos el azúcar, la ralladura de naranja y el huevo batido. Mezclamos hasta integrar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En un cuenco amplio tamizamos las harina junto con el polvo de hornear, la canela y la nuez moscada. Agregamos las semillas de chia y las nueces. Hacemos un hoyo en el centro y vertemos la mezcla de dátiles. Mezclamos todo cuidadosamente. Colocamos en el molde. espolvoreamos con las semillas de chia y llevamos al horno durante 1 hora y 15 minutos aproximadamente.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Mis variaciones:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como no me gustan los orejones, los sustituí por una mezcla de frutos del bosque, fresas y arándanos deshidratados, que herví junto con los dátiles. Agregué bastante más cantidad de frutos que en la receta original.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como no me quedaban semillas de chia en casa, las sustituí por semillas de amapola, lino y sésamo, tanto dentro de la masa como para espolvorear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como la primera vez que probé esta receta hice estas variaciones y nos encantó, siempre la realizo de esta manera y nunca de la forma original. Os animo a dejar volar vuestra imaginación!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como veis es una receta sencilla y saludable, si no os gustan los frutos del bosque podéis utilizar sólo frutos secos, como nueces, almendras, anacardos, cacahuetes. Personalmente me gusta mucho incluir semillas, como sésamo, amapola, girasol, lino, calabaza... creo que esta receta es muy versátil y admite muchas variaciones. Ya me contareis si la probáis y que combinaciones se os ocurren!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que estés pasando una muy buena semana y os deseo que cada uno de vuestros días estén llenos de paz, luz y armonía!! Nos vemos el lunes!! </span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">175 gr dates</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">50g dried apricots</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">175 gr butter</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">175 gr brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 egg, lightly beaten</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">100 g wheat flour</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">125 g whole wheat flour</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 pinch of nutmeg</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 pinch of cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">50g chopped walnuts</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds and 1/2 tbsp to sprinkle</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">orange zest</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Preparation:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a small saucepan place dates and dried apricots in 125 ml of water, once it boils, lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let temper.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Heat the oven to 180 degrees. Cover a mould with baking paper.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Melt the butter in the microwave for a few seconds, let temper, and add to the dates in the saucepan. Add brown sugar, orange zest and beaten egg. Mix until blended.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a large bowl sift the flours with the baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add chia seeds and nuts. Make a hole in the center and pour the mixture of dates. Mix everything carefully. Place in the mould, sprinkle with chia seeds and take to the oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>My variations:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I don´t like dried apricots, I substituted by a mixture of fruits of the forest, dried strawberries and blueberries, which I boiled with dates. I added a quite a lot more fruits than in the original recipe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I didn´t have chia seeds at home, I replaced them with poppy seeds, flax and sesame, both in the batter and to sprinkle.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like the first time I tried this recipe I did these variations and loved it, I always make it in the same way and never as in the original recipe. I encourage you to let your imagination fly!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see it´s a simple, healthy recipe, if you don´t like berries, you can use walnuts, almonds, cashews, peanuts. I personally like seeds, like sesame, poppy, sunflower, flax, pumpkin seeds, so I always add a handfull whenever the recipe allows me... I think this recipe is very versatile and supports many variations. Please tell me if you give it a go, and which combinations come to your mind!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you're having a very good week and I wish that each of your days be filled with peace, love and harmony!! See you on Monday!! </span><br />

I´m so happy to come back!! Sorry for this long absence, I really wanted to post at least a couple of times, but the whirl of moving and so many changes and so much work pending stopped me. I am -quite- really maniacal about cleanliness and order and the inability to have control over so much chaos has really stressed me. I still have so much to do, the new house is really beautiful and so roomy, but requires hard work and hours to clean. And although I am far from over, I wanted to publish this Monday. And talking about cleaning, I want to share with you some of my recipes for homemade soap.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que hayáis pasado un muy bonito fin de semana! Qué alegría volver!! Lo siento por esta larga ausencia, realmente quería ir publicando aunque fuese un par de veces, pero la vorágine de la mudanza y tantos cambios y tanto tanto trabajo pendiente me lo impidió. Soy -bastante- demasiado maniática de la limpieza y el orden y el hecho de no poder tener control sobre tanto caos me ha generado una tensión tremenda. Aún me queda mucho por hacer, la casa nueva es muy bonita y muy espaciosa, pero requiere mucho trabajo y horas y horas de limpiar. Y aunque estoy lejos de acabar, quería publicar este lunes sí o sí. Y ya que hablamos de limpieza, quiero compartir con vosotras algunas de mis recetas de jabón casero.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Por razones de tiempo y para no hacerlo muy pesado, explicaré el paso a paso de la receta y os ruego que los sigáis a rajatabla si vais a poner en práctica esta receta, y no os saltéis ningún paso ni desestiméis ninguna medida de seguridad. Cuando trabajamos con sosa caústica hay que ser muy prudente y trabajar con precaución.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este es mi jabón favorito para lavar la ropa, pero también lo utilizamos para todo, ducha, cabello, etc... He probado muchas recetas de jabón de Castilla, y ésta es la que mejor resultado nos ha dado, por su cremosidad recuerda a un jabón del estilo del Dove, super suave, totalmente recomendado para pieles sensibles y atópicas, casos de eczema, psoriasis, cualquier problema de piel en general. Ideal para bebés, y para el lavado de su ropa.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Materiales necesarios:</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">báscula</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">un cubo plástico amplio</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">cuchara de madera o palo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">guantes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">gafas protectoras</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">moldes (pueden ser de plástico o silicona)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">una manta o trapos</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ingredientes:</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">97 gr sosa cáustica (se vende en cualquier supermercado)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">207 gr agua</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">760 gr aceite de oliva virgen </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5% sobreengrasado</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">32% concentración</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Procedimiento:</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Imprescindible utilizar una báscula y realizar todas las mediciones escrupulosamente. Utilizamos guantes y gafas protectoras en todo momento.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este primer paso lo realizaremos en un sitio con buena ventilación, como ser cerca de una ventana, o en el jardín, o en la cocina cerca de la campana de aire. En un recipiente amplio de plástico echamos el agua y a continuación la sosa. con mucho cuidado de no salpicar, con una cuchara de madera o un palo mezclamos hasta diluir. Nos apartamos porque saldrán gases tóxicos, y no tocamos el cuenco porque se calentará mucho. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esperamos unos minutos hasta que entibia (debería llegar a los 40º), unos 30 minutos serán suficientes. Vamos agregando muy poco a poco el aceite, mezclando con la cuchara de madera, os aconsejo utilizar una batidora de mano, acelera el proceso muchísimo. Mezclando a mano podremos estar unas 2 hs, descansando y volviendo a mezclar, mientras que con una batidora de mano sólo harán falta unos 10 minutos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Veremos que la mezcla empieza a espesar, cuando adquiera la textura cremosa, habrá alcanzado el punto de traza, aquí podemos incorporar los aceites esenciales que queramos, mezclamos suavemente y ya podemos verter en los moldes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Una vez en los moldes, cubrimos con film y tapamos con una manta, para que mantenga el calor y continúe el proceso. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dejamos reposar unas 24 hs, y ya podemos destapar y desmoldar. Si vemos que aún le falta consistencia y que al desmoldar, podría romperse, lo dejamos otras 24 hs, hasta que esté firme y sólido. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este el momento de dejar que el jabón se cure, durante mínimo unas 6 semanas dejaremos secar el jabón, y pasado ese tiempo ya podremos utilizarlo y disfrutar de sus innumerables beneficios.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/elixir-de-lavanda.html" target="_blank">este otro post</a>, encontraréis en la sección de comentarios, la receta de mi jabón de lavanda, yo suelo utilizar esa receta como base para cualquier jabón corporal porque en casa nos gusta mucho la espuma y cremosidad que aporta, si os animáis os invito a probarlo también.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si deseáis cambiar las proporciones o ingredientes, hay que ser muy riguroso en las medidas y proporciones, por lo que os recomiendo utilizar la <a href="http://calc.mendrulandia.net/" target="_blank">calculadora de saponificación </a>de <a href="http://www.mendrulandia.es/" target="_blank">mendrulandia</a> y también visitar su foro, donde encontraréis mucha información. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os puedo asegurar que una vez que probéis el jabón casero y natural, no querréis utilizar ningún otro jabón, no sólo vuestra piel y vuestra ropa lo agradecerá, sino que ahorraréis dinero y disfrutaréis mucho preparándolo, sólo el jabonero conoce el verdadero placer de hacer su propio jabón!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que os animéis, y ya me contaréis si este no es el verdadero jabón de la abuela, sin químicos, ni colorantes, ni aromatizantes, ni nada de nada artificial!! os animo a leer la composición de cualquier jabón "natural" que encontréis en el mercado y luego decidme si puede competir en "naturalidad" con éste que hoy os presento ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Un besito y que tengáis una maravillosa semana!! Os echaba mucho de menos!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will explain the step by step of this recipe and I hope you follow them to the letter if you´re going to give this recipe a go, and please don´t skip any step and follow all the security measures. When working with caustic soda we have to be very careful and work with</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> caution.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my favorite soap for washing clothes, but we also use it for everything, shower, hair, etc ... I have tried many recipes of Castile soap, and this is, for me, the best one I´ve ever tried, its creaminess looks like a Dove soap, it is also super gentle, fully recommended for sensitive and atopic skin, treating eczema, psoriasis or any skin problems. Ideal for babies, and washing their clothes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">scales</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a large plastic bucket</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">97 gr lye (sold in supermarkets)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">207 gr water</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">760 gr virgin olive oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5% superfatted</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">32% concentration</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Procedure:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We must use scales and perform all the measurements carefully. Use gloves and goggles while working.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This first step will be done in a place with good ventilation, such as near a window, or in the garden or in the kitchen near the exhaust fan. Pour the water in a large plastic container and then carefully pour the soda, blending with a wooden spoon or stick until dilute the mix. Move away for a while to avoid the inhalation of toxic gases, and don´t touch the bowl because it will be hot.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wait a few minutes until warmed (it should reach around 40 degrees), about 30 minutes will sufficient. Slowly start adding the olive oil, mixing with the wooden spoon, I advise you to use a hand mixer, as it greatly speeds up the process. Mixing by hand can take about 2 hours, resting and blending from time to time, while with a hand mixer it will only take about 10 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You will see that the mixture begins to thicken, when it gets a creamy texture, trace will be achieved. Now you can add your essential oils, mixing gently and it´s time to pour into moulds.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once in the moulds, wrap them with plastic film and cover with a blanket to keep the warmth and let your soap continue its process.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let stand about 24 hours, and now you can uncover and unmold. If you see that still lacks consistency and it could break if we unmold it, leave for another 24 hours, until firm and solid.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the time to let the soap cure, for at least 6 weeks we´ll let our soap to dry, and after that time we can start using it and enjoying its many benefits.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/elixir-de-lavanda.html" target="_blank">this other post</a>, you will find in the comments section, the recipe of my lavender soap, I often use this recipe as a base for any body soap because at home we really like its bubbles and creaminess it brings, if you feel like making soap I invite you to try this one too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you want to change the proportions or ingredients you have to be very rigorous in the measurements and proportions, so I recommend you use the <a href="http://calc.mendrulandia.net/?lg=en" target="_blank">saponification calculator</a> and also visit its forum, where you will find a lot of information.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can assure you that once you try the homemade natural soap, you will not want to use any other soap, not only your skin and your clothes will thank you, you will also save a lot of money and you will enjoy a lot preparing it, only the soap maker knows the true pleasure of making his own soap!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you feel encouraged, and you´ll tell me if this is not the grandma´s real soap, no chemicals, no artificial colors or flavors, nothing artificial!! I encourage you to read the composition of any "natural" soap that you find in the market and then tell me if it can compete in "natural" with this homemade soap ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wish you a wonderful week ahead!!! I really missed you all!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you're having a nice week, mine is really complicated, with hard work and a lot of changes, so I will do my best to be here and update the blog, hope you understand if you find I´m little slow updating or commenting!! If all goes well, it will be only a matter of a week and we´ll be back with even more energy!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last Monday I shared my homemade toothpaste recipe and as I promised, today I´m sharing one of my favorite deodorant recipes. There are many good ones, and I'll share those which gave me the best results. Today´s deodorant is a stick, but with a texture that on contact with the skin becomes creamy, it´s so gentle and you can perfume it as you like. This one smells of lavender, but you can also use rosemary, bergamot or lemon essential oil. I recommend you also use a few drops of tea tree essential oil.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This recipe is super simple, as always, and you get it ready in a couple of minutes with just very few ingredients!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que esteis pasando una bonita semana, la mía viene muy complicada, con mucho trabajo y muchos cambios, así que haré todo lo posible por estar por aquí y actualizar el blog, espero que comprendáis si tardo un poco tanto en actualizar como en responder. Si todo va bien, será sólo cuestión de una semana y volveré con más energía aún!!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El lunes pasado compartíamos la receta casera de dentífrico y como os prometía, hoy toca compartir una de mis recetas favoritas de desodorante. Hay muchas y muy buenas, ya os iré contando las que mejor resultado me han dado. Este que os presento hoy es en formato sólido, pero con una textura que al contacto con la piel se vuelve cremosa, es muy suave con la piel y podéis darle el aroma que más os guste. Este en concreto huele a lavanda, pero podemos utilizar aceite esencial de romero, bergamota o limón, por ejemplo. Os recomiendo utilizar también unas gotitas de aceite esencial de árbol del te. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La receta como siempre es super sencilla y se prepara en un par de minutos y con muy pocos ingredientes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Desodorante casero y natural</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ingredientes:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 cdas cera de abejas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/4 cda manteca de karité o manteca de cacao</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/4 cda aceite de coco</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cda arcilla blanca</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cda bicarbonato de sodio o maicena</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">10 gotas de aceite esencial de limón, o lavanda, bergamota o romero</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 gotas de aceite esencial de árbol del te</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Necesitamos cualquier envase de desodorante en barra, yo os recomiendo reciclar envases que se han acabado, son los mejores recipientes que podamos utilizar. Lo limpiamos bien, retirando cualquier excedente. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A baño maría derretimos la cera de abejas junto a la manteca de karité (o de cacao), cuando se han disuelto retiramos del fuego e incorporamos el aceite de coco. Removemos hasta integrar y disolver todo, agregamos los demás ingredientes. Vertemos en el envase y llevamos a la nevera unos minutos hasta solidificar. Retiramos de la nevera y dejamos reposar un día, para asentar los ingredientes. Y ya podemos utilizar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si tenéis la piel muy sensible en lugar de bicarbonato podeis utilizar maicena, pero yo os aconsejo probar primero con el bicarbonato, por sus grandes propiedades antisépticas y desodorantes. Al ser muy poca cantidad, mezclada con el aceite de coco que es un poderoso calmante de la piel irritada, es ideal incluso para las pieles más sensibles (yo doy fe de ello!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si el clima donde vivís es frío, os recomiendo rebajar la proporción de cera de abejas, incrementando ligeramente la de aceite de coco, para conseguir la textura más cremosa. Esta receta es ideal para climas cálidos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como os decía, podéis incorporar el aceite esencial que prefiráis, pero si es posible, no dejéis de incluir el aceite esencial del árbol del té, por ser un antibacteriano natural y un excelente fungicida, balsámico y desodorante.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os animo a que probéis esta receta, en próximos post os contaré otras posibilidades y desodorantes en otros formatos, que estoy segura os ayudarán a dar el paso hacia una cosmética plenamente natural. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si aún lo dudáis, os invito a leer la temible lista de ingredientes de cualquier desodorante comercial y a que indaguéis en Internet acerca de la estrecha relación entre el uso de desodorantes químicos y la aparición de ciertas enfermedades. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">También veréis que nuestro desodorante además de ser muy efectivo, devolverá la salud a vuestras axilas y una piel suave y libre de irritaciones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como siempre, me despido deseándoos lo mejor y una semana llena de paz, luz y armonía! </span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Homemade & natural deodorant stick</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ingredients:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tbsp beeswax</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/4 tbsp shea butter or cocoa butter</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 1/4 tbsp coconut oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 tbsp bentonite clay</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 tsp baking soda or cornstarch</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">10 drops of essential oil (you can use lemon, lavender, bergamot or rosemary)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 drops of tea tree essential oil </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can reuse any clean deodorant stick container.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a double boiler, mix beeswax</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> with shea butter (or cocoa butter) until dissolved, remove from heat and add the coconut oil. Stir until blended, add the rest of ingredients. Pour into the container and place in the fridge for a few minutes to solidify. Remove from the fridge and let stand one day to settle the ingredients. Now it´s ready to be used.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have very sensitive skin instead of baking soda you can use cornstarch, but I advise you to try first with baking soda, for its great antiseptic and deodorant properties. As it´s such a small quantity, and also mixed with coconut oil which is a powerful soothing irritated skin, it is ideal for even the most sensitive skin (I can vouch for this!).</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If the weather is cold where you live, I recommend reducing the proportion of beeswax, slightly increasing the coconut oil, to get the most creamy texture. This recipe is ideal for warm climates.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I said, you can add the essential oil you prefer, but if possible, try to include tea tree essential oil, as it´s an excellent natural antibacterial and antifungal, balsamic and deodorant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I encourage you to try this recipe, in next post I will share other possibilities and deodorants in other formats, I'm sure it will help you to step into a completely natural cosmetics. If you still doubt, I invite you to read the formidable list of ingredients of any commercial deodorant and search on the Internet about the close relationship between the use of chemical deodorants and the occurrence of certain diseases. You will also see that our deodorant besides being very effective, will return health to your armpits and a smooth skin free of irritation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As always, I say goodbye wishing you the very best and a week full of peace, light and harmony!</span><br />

In our mission to start getting rid of so many petroleum products, there are two that are absolutely necessary to remove from our lives: toothpaste and deodorant. Perhaps they are the products that cost us most to replace, and yet, the most benefits will bring to our lives, first, because they are one of our most daily used daily cosmetics, and second, because they are the ones that most penetrate our body and more harmful too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
Hoy empezamos la semana luciendo nuestra mejor sonrisa... y nunca mejor dicho, ya que el post de hoy trata sobre productos naturales de higiene bucal. En nuestra misión de irnos deshaciendo de tantos y tantos productos derivados del petróleo, hay dos que son absolutamente necesarios que quitemos de nuestras vidas: el dentífrico y el desodorante. Es quizás de los productos que más nos cuesta reemplazar, y sin embargo, los que más beneficios aportarán a nuestra vida, en primer lugar, porque son los que más utilizamos a diario, y segundo, porque son los que más penetran en nuestro organismo y más perjudiciales son.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dicho todo esto, os animo a cambiar a productos naturales, y tened en cuenta que, lamentablemente, hay pocos (aunque sí muy buenos) productos naturales en el mercado, y desconfiad de cualquier producto que diga "eco", "bio", "natural"... especialmente si los venden en el super... basta leer la composición para ver qué lista tan larga de palabras y siglas raras... un tip para escoger bien es buscar los productos que tengan la <b>menor lista posible de ingredientes y que en su mayoría estén escritos en latín</b> (porque derivan de plantas y hierbas y eso es lo que buscamos!). Alejaos de cualquier producto que diga PEG, palabras que contengan "fenol" y "fenil", etc.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y si os animáis, hoy comparto mi receta de pasta de dientes, que llevo utilizando desde hace casi un año y me ha dado excelentes resultados. También os mostraré dos modelos de cepillo de dientes, naturales, ecológicos y que dan un muy buen resultado.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Empecemos por la <b><span style="color: #38761d;">crema de dientes</span></b>, yo la utilizo en un bote pequeño de cristal pero se puede poner en cualquier dosificador o tubo similar al de cualquier dentífrico (los envases se venden en cualquier herbolario y son muy baratos pero podéis utilizar un bote pequeño sin problemas).</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Veréis que esta crema dental se compone básicamente de aceite de coco, bicarbonato y menta. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El <b>aceite de coco</b> gracias a su poder <b>antimicrobiano</b>, previene las caries de manera natural, elimina el mal aliento y reduce el riesgo de dientes picados y gingivitis. El bicarbonato, por su parte, es un remedio natural por excelencia para <b>blanquear</b> los dientes y combatir el mal aliento. Combinado con el aceite de coco, realiza una suave exfoliación, eliminando manchas y dando brillo a los dientes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La menta es un potente <b>antiséptico</b>, por su olor y sabor, combate la halitosis, la sequedad bucal y reduce la incidencia de caries y gingivitis</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tenemos entonces 3 super aliados que además de sencillos de encontrar son muy económicos, digamos que por el precio de dos envases de dentífrico natural comercial compraremos todos los ingredientes para hacer botes y botes y botes de nuestra propia crema, que además es tan efectiva como cualquier marca comercial natural.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mezclamos los ingredientes para obtener una pasta, si hace falta, diluimos el aceite de coco, hasta integrar. Reservamos en un bote de cristal con tapa hermética. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La stevia es opcional, si necesitáis un sabor dulce en la crema, especialmente para los niños. En casa no la agregamos a la preparación y sabe muy bien igual. No me gustan los sabores fuertes y por eso utilizo sólo 10 gotas de aceite de menta, pero la receta original lleva unas cuantas gotas más. Si no os gusta la menta, podéis sustituirlo por otro aceite esencial (manzanilla, eucalipto, limón...).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para su uso, simplemente extendemos una pequeña cantidad en el cepillo de dientes y utilizamos como cualquier dentrífico.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A continuación os muestro algunas alternativas al <b><span style="color: #274e13;">cepillo de dientes</span></b>. El primero es un cepillo tradicional pero <b>elaborado en madera y bambú</b>, un material muy resistente y renovable, 100% biodegradable. Libre de bisfenola, que es un compuesto plástico perjudicial para la salud. El bambú<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"> tiene propiedades <b>antimicrobianas</b>, lo que hace que no se desarrollen bacterias.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y por último, el<b> <span style="color: #274e13;">siwak</span></b>, quizás lo conozcáis, se utiliza en Oriente Medio y Asia desde tiempo inmemoriales, pero se ha extendido mucho por todo el mundo en los últimos años. Es una ramita de un arbusto silvestre llamado Arak, la "salvadora pérsica", que nace en suelos muy secos y cargados de minerales. Es un <b>efectivo bactericida</b>, elimina el sarro y los problemas de encías, como la piorrea y la gingivitis. <b>Altamente antiséptica y calmante</b>, se han encontrado <b>19 sustancias beneficiosas</b> para la salud dental, entre otros: antisépticos naturales de acción bactericida; ácido tánico, un astringente que refuerza y protege las encías; aceites esenciales aromáticos que favorecen la salivación y digestión; vitamina C; sales minerales que endurecen el esmalte; minerales que remineralizan el esmalte; saponinas, que disuelven la suciedad; taninos y flavonoides, entre muchos otras propiedades...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El uso del siwak, además de mantener los dientes </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">limpios y sanos, elimina la placa dental, blanquea los dientes, elimina el mal aliento, mejora el sentido del gusto y ayuda a la digestión, por mencionar algunos de sus beneficios.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Se compra en cualquier tienda de productos árabes, librerías, carnicerías, supermercados. Para utilizarlo, lo remojaremos unas horas en agua para ablandarlo, y con ayuda de un cuchillo, separaremos unos 2cm de corteza de uno de los extremos, dando la forma de cepillo, como se aprecia en la foto. Frotaremos los dientes uno a uno con el siwak desde el borde de las encías hacia el filo de los dientes, y aclaramos. Desde el primer uso se aprecian los resultados, los dientes quedan muy suaves y limpios desde la primera aplicación.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today we´re starting the week showing our best smile... and never better, because today's post is about natural oral care products. In our mission to start getting rid of so many petroleum products, there are two that are absolutely necessary to remove from our lives: toothpaste and deodorant. Perhaps they are the products that cost us most to replace, and yet, the most benefits will bring to our lives, first, because they are one of our most daily used daily cosmetics, and second, because they are the ones that most penetrate our body and more harmful too.</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Therefore, I encourage you to switch to natural products, and be aware that, unfortunately, there are few natural products on the market, although you can find high quality as well, but distrust of any product that says `eco´, `bio´, `natural´... especially if they´re sold in the supermarket... just read the composition and you´ll find a long list with weird words and initials... A tip to choose well is to look for products with the minimun list of ingredients and most of them are written in Latin (because they are derived from plants and herbs and that is what we want!). Stay away from any product that says PEG, words that contain "phenol" and "phenyl", etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And if you´re already motivated, today I´m sharing my toothpaste recipe, which I've been using for nearly a year and has given me great results. I will also show two models of natural, ecological toothbrush which give a very good result.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">Let's start with the</span><b><span style="color: #274e13;"> toothpaste</span></b><span style="color: #990000;">, it is rather than a cream, I store it in a small glass jar but you can keep it in any dispenser or similar to any toothpaste tube.</span></span></div>
<br style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" />
<br style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You will see that this toothpaste is basically composed of coconut oil, baking soda and mint.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Coconut oil due to its <b>antimicrobial power</b>, naturally prevents tooth decay, eliminates bad breath and reduces the risk of tooth decay and gingivitis. Baking soda, meanwhile, is a natural remedy for teeth<b> whitening</b> par excellence and also fights bad breath. Combined with coconut oil, makes a gentle scrub, removing stains and giving shine to the teeth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Peppermint is a strong <b>antiseptic</b>, its smell and taste combats halitosis, dry mouth and reduces the incidence of caries and gingivitis</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /><br />So we have 3 super allies also simple to find at the market, also very cheap, just think that for the price of two packets of commercial natural toothpaste you may buy all the ingredients to make jars and jars and jars of our own cream, which is also as effective as any natural trademark.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /><b>Homemade & natural Toothpaste</b><br /><br />3 tbsp Pure virgin coconut oil<br />3 tbsp baking soda<br />10 drops peppermint essential oil<br />few drops of stevia to sweeten (optional)<br /><br /><br />Mix the ingredients to a paste, if necessary dilute the coconut oil until blended. Store in a small glass jar with a tight lid.<br />Stevia is optional, if you need a sweet taste in the toothpaste, especially for children. At home we don´t add it to the preparation and tastes great alike. I don´t like strong flavors and so I use only 10 drops of peppermint essential oil, but the original recipe uses a few more drops. If you don´t like mint, you can substitute for another essential oil (chamomile, eucalyptus, lemon...).<br /><br /><br />To use, simply extend a small amount on the toothbrush and use like any toothpaste.</span></span><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now I want to share some alternatives to the</span><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> toothbrush</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. The first one, is a traditional brush but <b>made of wood and bamboo,</b> a highly durable and renewable material, 100% biodegradable. Bisfenola free, which is an unhealthy plastic compound. Bamboo has <b>antimicrobial properties</b>, which prevents bacteria from growing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><span style="color: #990000;">And finally, the</span><span style="color: #274e13;"> siwak</span><span style="color: #990000;">, perhaps you know it yet, from time immemorial it has been used in Middle East and Asia, but has spread extensively around the world in recent years. It is a stick of a wild shrub called Arak, "saving Persian", born in very dry soils and it is full of minerals. It is an effective <b>bactericide</b>, removes plaque and gum problems, such as gingivitis and pyorrhea. <b>Highly antiseptic and soothing</b>, with 19 dental health beneficial substances found in it, such as: <b>natural antiseptic bactericidal action</b>; tannic acid, an astringent that strengthens and protects the gums; aromatic essential oils that promote salivation and digestion; vitamin C; minerals that harden the enamel; <b>remineralizes</b> enamel minerals; saponins, which dissolve dirt; tannins and flavonoids, among many other properties...</span><br /><span style="color: #990000;">Siwak use, while maintaining clean and healthy teeth, removes plaque, whitens teeth, eliminates bad breath, improves the taste and helps digestion, to mention a few of its benefits.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
<br />You can buy it at any arab or asian products stores, such as bookstores, butcher´s shops, supermarkets. To use, just soak the siwak for some hours to soften, and with a knife separate the bark 2cm of one end, giving the brush shape, as shown in the picture. Rub the teeth one on one with the siwak from the edge of the gums towards the edge of the teeth, and rinse. You will notice the results since the first use, teeth are very smooth and clean from the first application.<br /><br /><br />I hope you find today's post interesting and inspires you to try out some of these alternatives, or all of them, or just start choosing any natural product free of fluoride, sulfites, sulfates, glycerine...<br />Due to lack of time, the rest of this month I'll be posting on Monday and Thursday, so I send you a big hug, wishing you a very happy week and we´ll meet on another post on Thursday!</span></span></div>

It is ideal to carry in the bag and enjoy during a trip or a walk, when we feel the urgent need to peck at something light to regain strength or even stave off hunger.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Despedimos la semana con algo dulce, pero no os asustéis que no tiene muchas calorías y es muy saludable. Es ideal para llevar en el bolso y disfrutar durante el viaje o un paseo, cuando sentimos la imperiosa necesidad de picotear algo ligero para reponer fuerzas y a la vez calmar el gusanillo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta será la primera de otras entradas que iré publicando sobre snacks rápidos y saludables, iré compartiendo diferentes recetas de barritas energéticas, pero hoy me apetecía compartir estos snacks, que son absolutamente deliciosos, nutritivos, saludables y energéticos. Os recomiendo probarlos junto a una taza de café, sabe a gloria!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La receta es super sencilla y la podéis adaptar a lo que tengáis por casa, como siempre. Yo utilicé chocolate negro puro Valor, que es de mis favoritos, pero podéis utilizar cualquier tipo de chocolate, aunque el negro es el mejor y más saludable. También utilicé una mezcla de semillas que suelo utilizar cuando hago pan, y que contiene: semillas de sésamo, lino y amapola, almendras horneadas y almendras laminadas, nueces, pipas de girasol y calabaza y un puñado de arándanos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Se pueden agregar pasas, frutos secos, fruta deshidratada, avena molida o en copos, cereales... lo que más os guste!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y se preparan en 5 minutos!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta es mi receta:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Snacks de chocolate y frutos secos</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">100 gr de chocolate puro </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">arándanos deshidratados</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">almendras enteras y laminadas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">nueces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">semillas (lino, sesámo, amapola, girasol, calabaza...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A baño maría derretiremos el chocolate, podéis utilizar chocolate en tableta o en pepitas. Removemos continuamente hasta que el chocolate está cremoso. Se puede hacer en el microondas, en intervalos muy breves. Sobre una lámina de papel del horno, colocaremos el chocolate de a cucharadas, de tamaño similar a una moneda. Dejamos templar un poco y espolvoreamos con las semillas, presionando muy suavemente para adherirlas. Colocamos en cada snack una almendra, una nuez y unos arándanos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dejamos solidificar en la nevera, durante unos minutos. Una vez sólidos, los guardamos en un recipiente hermético para que no absorba los olores de la nevera. Y a disfrutar!!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This will be the first of some other post about healthy snacks, I´ll be sharing some energy bars recipes soon, but today I want to share these snacks, which are absolutely delicious, nutritious, healthy and energetic. I recommend you try them with a cup of coffee, it tastes heavenly!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a super easy recipe and you can adapt to what you have at home, as usual. I used pure dark chocolate, which is my favorite, even though you can use any chocolate, dark chocolate is the best and healthiest. I also used the blend of seeds I usually prepare when I make bread, which contains: sesame, linseed and poppy seed, baked and sliced almonds, walnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, and a handful of blueberries.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can add raisins, nuts, cashews, dried fruit, oatmeal, cheerios, popcorn... whatever you like!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And what is best, you´ll get them prepared in 5 minutes!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my recipe:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chocolate and nuts</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">100 gr of pure dark chocolate</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">dried blueberries</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">almonds</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">nuts</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">seeds (flax, sesame, poppy, sunflower, pumpkin...)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Melt the chocolate in a double boiler stirring constantly. It can be done in the microwave, in very short intervals. On a piece of wax paper make chocolate circles with a spoon, should be the size of a coin. Let temper a bit and place the trail mix, pressing very gently to adhere. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let it dry in the fridge for a few minutes. And enjoy!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Loaded with healthy unsaturated fats, protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamin E, and other essential vitamins and minerals, you will love these delicious energy bites and will be a great and nutritious ally to keep hunger at bay and snack between meals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With this sweet recipe I say goodbye for today and I wish you a very sweet weekend!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Creo que ya os he comentado el maravilloso efecto de la <b>bergamota</b> sobre el sistema nervioso y el estado de ánimo, es uno de los aceites esenciales más completos <b>a nivel del humor y la sensibilidad, </b>generando<b> energía positiva</b> y actuando como poderoso analgésico.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este aceite maravilloso actúa fundamentalmente a nivel nervioso, <b>reduciendo la sensación de estrés, abatimiento, debilidad, irritabilidad e ira</b>. También, por su poder analgésico, es <b>altamente calmante</b>, ideal para indigestiones nerviosas (cuando comemos con nervios y sentimos calambres abdominales, flatulencias y malestar en general, masajearemos la zona abdominal con una gotita de este aceite). Podemos aplicarlo con un suave masaje sobre cualquier zona dolorida, especialmente recomendado para combatir dolores musculares y dolores de cabeza.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ante situaciones nerviosas y cansancio general, poner una gotita de este aceite en un pañuelo e inhalarlo, nos producirá un alivio inmediato y despejará nuestra mente.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">También es un poderoso cicatrizante, diluido en agua destilada, ayuda a desinfectar y cicatrizar heridas, así como reducir y eliminar manchas y cicatrices.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Respecto al <b>aceite esencial de lavanda</b>, poco queda por mencionar nuevo en este blog, tanto y tanto hemos hablado ya! Llamado el "rey de los aceites esenciales", debe su alto rango a sus inmensas propiedades: antiséptico, sedante, relajante, regenerador, antiespasmódico, potenciador... no le falta de nada!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A nivel de aromaterapia, este aceite esencial es <b>altamente relajante, ayuda a disipar cualquier tensión nerviosa y estrés.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Simplemente en un bote pequeño con roll-on diluiremos 10 gotas de aceite esencial de lavanda, 10 gotas de aceite esencial de bergamota y completaremos con aceite de almendras dulces. Dejamos reposar una noche y al día siguiente tendremos este maravilloso elixir. Cuando lo necesitamos, simplemente aplicamos en las sienes, cerca de la nariz, detrás de las orejas, en las muñecas...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si necesitamos un extra, inhalamos profundamente su delicioso aroma. Es ideal para llevar en el bolsillo o el bolso, y tener uno también cerca de la mesita de noche.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si no tenemos un bote con roll-on a mano, podemos echar un par de gotas de ambos aceites esenciales en un algodoncillo o pañuelo e inhalarlo. El alivio es inmediato, ya lo veréis!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Imaginaos esta combinación y su efecto sobre nuestro organismo en un día que nos sintamos un poco cabizbajos, nerviosos, con signos de ansiedad, o nos estemos enfrentando a alguna situación de estrés o fatiga mental... el alivio que genera sólo se puede explicar a través de la experiencia, hay que probarlo para comprenderlo!! En esta época de exámenes es un aliado increíble para afrontar la presión, el cansancio y la ansiedad que estas pruebas provocan... así como relajar la mente y conciliar el sueño. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think I have already mentioned the wonderful effect of <b>bergamot</b> on the nervous system and mood, it is one of the most complete essential oils relating to <b>humor and sensitivity, generating positive energy</b> and acting as a powerful analgesic.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This wonderful oil acts primarily on the nervous system,<b> reducing feelings of stress, depression, weakness, irritability and anger.</b> It also has an analgesic power, it´s <b>highly soothing</b>, perfect for nervous indigestion (when we eat with nerves and feel abdominal cramps, flatulence and abdominal malaise, just massage this area with a drop of this oil). We can also apply it with a gentle massage on any painful area, especially recommended to combat muscle pain and headaches.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To nerve situations and general fatigue, put a drop of this oil on a tissue and inhale, breathing deeply, it will produce immediate relief and will clear our mind.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is also a powerful healing, diluted in distilled water, it helps to disinfect and heal wounds and reduce and eliminate blemishes and scars.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Regarding to<b> lavender essential oil</b>, so much we have already mentioned in this blog about its great properties! Called the `king of essential oils´, owes its high ranking to its immense properties: antiseptic, sedative, relaxing, regenerating, antispasmodic, enhancer ... not lack anything!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In terms of aromatherapy, this essential oil is <b>highly relaxing, it helps dissipate any nervous tension and stress.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just blend in a small roll-on bottle 10 drops of lavender essential oil, 10 drops of bergamot essential oil and fill with sweet almond oil. Let stand overnight and the next day you will have this wonderful elixir. When you need simply apply at the temples, near the nose, behind the ears, wrists...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you need an extra, inhale deeply this delicious aroma. It is ideal to carry in your pocket or bag, and have one near the night table too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you don´t have any roll-on bottle on hand, just put a couple of drops of these essential oils in a handkerchief and inhale. The relief is immediate, and you will see it!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Imagine this combination and its effect on our body on a day we feel a little downhearted, nervous, with signs of anxiety, or we're facing a situation of stress or mental fatigue... the relief you may feel can be explained only through experience, you must try it to understand!! In this period of exams it is an great ally to deal with the pressure, fatigue and anxiety that these tests cause... and also relax the mind and help to sleep better.</span></div>

May I tell you more?</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que hayáis disfrutado de un precioso fin de semana y hayáis podido recargar las pilas para recibir junio con los brazos abiertos y la mejor de las sonrisas!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El post de hoy es puro verano! temporada de fresas y de ensaladas... y de este vinagre con un suave sabor a fresas, una delicia para aliñar cualquier tipo de ensalada, y si sois como yo y os vais un poco más allá, es también un tónico facial increíble! Os cuento más?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si pasáis cada tanto por el blog, habréis visto ya cuántas cosas maceramos!! aceites de todos los tipos con rosas y flores y hierbas... y vinagres con diferentes frutas, hierbas y especias... hoy os propongo un vinagre arómatico que dará un toque muy especial a cualquier preparación y que además de comestible, es cosmético, porque a las grandes bondades del vinagre sobre la piel, se suman las propiedades de la fresa, un excelente antioxidante y depurativo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ya hemos comentado en este blog los grandes beneficios del vinagre de manzana como tónico facial, nuestro gran aliado para regular el ph de la piel, limpiarla de impurezas y tonificar y calmar la piel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Las fresas por su parte ayudan a unificar el tono de la piel, hidratar y tonificar, siendo un gran antioxidante.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como <b>tónico,</b> lo utilizaremos diluido en agua mineral o destilada, empezaremos diluyendo una parte de vinagre en 3 partes de agua, y lo aplicaremos como cualquier tónico facial. Conforme nos vamos acostumbrando, podemos ir igualando la proporción de vinagre y agua, y finalmente podremos utilizar el vinagre sin diluir, directamente sobre el rostro. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Es recomendable no saltarse estos pasos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pero como veréis esta infusión es tan deliciosa, que os aconsejo probarla como aliño de ensaladas, estoy segura que os encantará ese ligero toque a fresas!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La preparación no puede ser más sencilla, simplemente rebanaremos unas pocas fresas maduras y bien lavadas y secas, las colocamos en un bote de cristal (limpio y seco) y cubrimos con vinagre de manzana, que previamente habremos calentado a fuego medio, sin llegar a hervir. Cerramos herméticamente y dejamos reposar una semana. Una vez pasado ese tiempo ya tendremos nuestro delicioso y aromático vinagre!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you stop by this blog from time to time, you have seen how many things we´ve infused!! different types of oils with roses, flowers and herbs... and vinegar with different fruits, herbs and spices... today I propose an aromatic vinegar to give a special touch to any preparation and apart from edible, it is also cosmetic, not only because of the great benefits of vinegar on the skin, but also all strawberry properties are added, such an excellent purifier and antioxidant!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have already commented on this blog the great benefits of apple cider vinegar as a facial toner, our great ally to regulate the pH of the skin, cleanse of impurities and tone and soothe the skin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Strawberries in turn help unify the skin tone, moisturize and tone, it is a great antioxidant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a toner, use it diluted in filtered or distilled water, start diluting one part vinegar to 3 parts water and apply it like any facial toner. As you get used to it, you can go equaling the ratio of vinegar and water, and finally you can use undiluted vinegar directly on your face.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is advisable not to skip these steps.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But as you will see this infused vinegar is so delicious, I recommend you to try it as a salad dressing too, I'm sure you will love this aromatic of strawberries!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The preparation can´t be easier, just slice some ripe strawberries, place in a mason jar and cover with apple cider vinegar that we previously heated over medium heat, without boiling</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. Close tightly and let it settle one week, and you will get a delicious and aromatic vinegar!</span><br />

Me encanta despedir la semana con este exfoliante, tan dulce, tan blanco y tan aromático... antes de probarlo ya me gustaba, esas florecillas de lavanda mezcladas en la blanca dulzura del azúcar, tenía que ser un exfoliante maravilloso... y lo es!! cuando lo probé supe que sería un básico indispensable en mis productos de baño. Vamos a la receta, porque este exfoliante de lavanda y romero no necesita introducción!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Exfoliante de lavanda y romero:</b><br />
<br />
<i>Ingredientes:</i><br />
<br />
2 tazas de azúcar<br />
1/4 taza de aceite de coco (o de almendras)<br />
1/4 taza de oleato de romero (o aceite de oliva virgen extra)<br />
10 gotas de aceite esencial de lavanda<br />
un puñado de flores secas de lavanda<br />
<br />
<i>Preparación:</i><br />
<br />
Simplemente mezclaremos el azúcar con los aceites, yo utilicé una mezcla de aceite de coco (en estado cremoso) y oleato de romero (<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/infusing-olive-oil.html" target="_blank">en este post</a> podéis leer cómo prepararlo), si no tenéis, podéis mezclar aceite de almendras con aceite de oliva virgen extra, o utilizar solamente el tipo de aceite que tengáis por casa.<br />
<br />
Cuando la mezcla ya tiene un aspecto arenoso, ligeramente húmedo, agregamos algunas gotas de aceite esencial de lavanda, mezclamos nuevamente y agregamos unas flores secas de lavanda (se compran en cualquier herbolario (lo encontraréis como "espliego", incluso en Tiger venden). Si no encontráis, no es indispensable agregarlas, pero os lo recomiendo porque os encantará el resultado aún más. Las flores secas al contacto con el aceite y luego con el agua al masajear sobre la piel, liberan toda su esencia y no os imagináis cómo huelen!!<br />
<br />
Guardamos en un bote de cristal y dejamos asentar las esencias y aromas durante una noche, y al día siguiente ya podemos utilizar este exfoliante. Con esta receta nos saldrá una cantidad abundante, por lo que tendremos para muchos meses y también puede ser un detalle bonito y original para regalar.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Se puede utilizar por todo el cuerpo, incluido el rostro y los labios. Siempre recordad que las exfoliaciones deben hacerse sobre la piel húmeda, con suaves masajes circulares. Puede irritar un poco la piel al inicio, y producir cierta comezón, pero es totalmente normal y se pasa rápidamente. En cualquier caso si persiste, interrumpid el tratamiento porque puede darse el caso de que se trate de una reacción alérgica al aceite esencial de lavanda (no es habitual, pero puede suceder).<br />
<br />
Con este exfoliante eliminamos las células muertas, dejando la piel limpia y fresca, a la vez que hidratada por el efecto del aceite de almendras y el de romero que es un gran calmante y antioxidante.<br />
<br />
Os animo a que lo probéis, es infinitamente más económico que cualquier exfoliante comercial y muchísimo más saludable! Muy feliz fin de semana para todos!!<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">Lavender sugar scrub</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: #990000;">Ingredients:</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">2 cups white sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">1/4 cup coconut (or sweet almond) oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">1/4 cup rosemary infused oil (or extra virgin olive oil)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">10 drops lavender essential oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">a handful of dried lavender flowers</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;"><i>Preparation:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">Simply mix the sugar with oils, I used a mixture of coconut oil and rosemary infused oil (in<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/infusing-olive-oil.html" target="_blank"> this post</a> you can read how to prepare it), you can also mix almond oil with extra virgin olive oil, or just only use the type of oil you have at home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">When the mixture looks sandy and slightly wet, add a few drops of lavender essential oil, blend again and add some dried lavender flowers ( you can buy them at any herbalist). If you don´t find, it is not really important to add them, but I recommend it because you will love the results even more. The dry flowers on contact with oil and then with water while massaging the skin will release all their essence and you can´t imagine how deliciously they smell !!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">Store in a mason jar and let the scents and flavors settle overnight. With this recipe we will get a generous amount, so we have for many months and can also be a nice and original gift detail.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">It can be used throughout the body, including face and lips. Always remember that scrubs should be done on wet skin with gentle circular movements. It can irritate the skin a little at the start, and produce some itching, but it is completely normal and passes quickly. In any case if it persists, interrupt the treatment because it might be an allergic reaction to lavender essential oil (not usual, but it can happen).</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">With this scrub we remove dead cells, leaving the skin clean and fresh, while moisturized by the effect of almond oil and rosemary, which is a great soothing and antioxidant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;">I encourage you to try it, it is infinitely cheaper than any commercial scrub and also much healthier! Have a very happy weekend!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>

Una de las que mas me piden es esta crema super hidratante, que en casa llamamos <b><a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/crema-curativa-para-manos.html" target="_blank">"la neutrógena"</a></b>, porque es super curativa y reparadora. Últimamente la estoy utilizando muchísimo en los pies por las noches, porque es increíble cómo hidrata. También la utilizamos para curar heridas y suavizar la piel cuando está muy seca.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Let´s turn now to the </span><b style="color: #990000;">creams</b><span style="color: #990000;"> section</span><span style="color: #990000;">, and here we have many options, depending on the use we want to give and the treatment area. One of the most demanding creams is this super-moisturizing. At home we call it <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/crema-curativa-para-manos.html" target="_blank">`</a></span><b style="color: #990000;"><a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/crema-curativa-para-manos.html" target="_blank">the Neutrogena´</a></b><span style="color: #990000;"> because it is super healing and restorative. Lately I'm using it a lot on my feet at night, because it's amazing how it moisturizes. We also use it to heal wounds and soothe the skin when it is very dry.</span><br />

Para el cabello, nada mejor que esta <b><a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/coconut-lemon-soft-body-cream.html" target="_blank">crema de coco y limón</a>,</b> no sólo huele fenomenal, sino que las propiedades antisépticas del limón potencian los beneficios del aceite de coco, aportando brillo, suavidad, y ayudando a obtener unos bonitos reflejos de sol. Déjala actuar antes del lavado, y para potenciar su efecto, déjala toda la noche.<br />
Esta crema es tan versátil que se puede aplicar por todo el cuerpo.<br />

En el ámbito doméstico, el aceite de coco es un gran aliado para<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/wood-nourishing-cream.html" target="_blank"> <b>tratar la madera</b></a>, un poquito de aceite de coco y verás cómo potencia y restaura la belleza natural de tus muebles de madera!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">In the domestic scope, coconut oil is a great ally to<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/wood-nourishing-cream.html" target="_blank"> <b>treat wood</b>,</a> a minimun amount of coconut oil and it will restore the natural beauty of your wooden furniture!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
Para acabar, aunque queda mucho por mencionar sobre el aceite de coco y muchos productos que ya iremos publicando, no me quiero despedir sin contaros un tip de belleza que me encanta y se ha vuelto para mí insustituible. <b><span style="color: #351c75;">El aceite de coco es el mejor desmaquillante</span></b> que podáis probar, una vez que le deis una oportunidad no querréis volver a los productos desmaquillantes que se venden en el mercado. Es absolutamente ideal para quitar cualquier maquillaje, incluida la máscara de pestañas.<br />
Elimina el maquillaje, hidrata la piel y limpia en profundidad. Sin mencionar que os estaréis ahorrando un dinerillo en productos, y evitando un sinfín de químicos totalmente innecesarios sobre vuestra piel!<br />
Espero que como yo, os volváis coco-adictas y disfrutéis de sus grandes beneficios!! Probadlo y compartid vuestra experiencia con todos!!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Finally, although much remains to mention about coconut oil and many products about which we will be posting soon, I don´t want to finish without sharing a beauty tip that I really love and has become irreplaceable for me. </span><b style="color: #990000;">Coconut oil is the best makeup remover that you will ever try</b><span style="color: #990000;">, once you give it a chance you won´t want to return to the comercial cleansing products. It is absolutely ideal for removing any makeup, including mascara.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">It removes makeup, while cleans and moisturizes the skin in depth. No need to mention that you might be saving some money on products and avoiding endless totally unnecessary chemicals on your skin!</span><br />
I hope you become cocodicted, like me, and start enjoying its great benefits!! Give it a go and share your experience with everybody!!<br />

I've been really immersed in household chores and I remembered that I had to share the recipe of my all-natural & homemade "Mr Clean", my very best multipurpose cleaner that smells so delicious and doesn´t contain any toxic ingredient... What's more, if you drink it, you would enjoy its health benefits (but don´t drink it!) </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I was looking forward to Monday to share this post!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que hayáis pasado un muy feliz fin de semana! yo he estado de limpieza (como no!) y sumergida en el mundo de los quehaceres domésticos me acordé que tenía que compartir la receta de mi "don limpio" casero, mi particular limpiador que huele tan delicioso y no contiene ningún tipo de producto tóxico... es más, si os lo bebieras, os beneficiarían sus propiedades (pero no os lo bebáis!!). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Por lo tanto estaba deseando que llegara el lunes para compartir este post!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sé que el viernes pasado por mucho que os hablase de los beneficios de la mascarilla de arcilla y vinagre, su apariencia, vamos, no entraba por los ojos jejee, pero es que es tan buena!! con esta receta de mi limpiador casero no sucede eso, porque es buenísimo y además luce bien! Es más, mientras lo tengo macerando, siempre lo dejo en los estantes visibles de la cocina, porque verlo da gusto!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Hace unos meses os comenté que para limpiar utilizo "<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/sacando-provecho-al-vinagre-de-manzana.html" target="_blank">vinagre de naranja"</a> (que no es más que un vinagre de manzana macerado por 2 semanas con pieles de naranja), nada quita la grasa y da brillo como este producto. Diluido en agua, quita las manchas de cal de la bañera, los grifos, la mampara, deja los cristales limpios y brillantes por mucho tiempo, y los suelos con un brillo y un aspecto increíble, todo pasa la prueba del algodón, os lo aseguro!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Llevo años utilizando este limpiador, pero hace un tiempo fui un poco más allá y para cambiar el perfume, empecé a agregar otras plantas, frutas, hierbas y especias al vinagre y el resultado es simplemente maravilloso!! Si es que parece perfume!! nada queda del penetrante olor del vinagre!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
He hecho varias combinaciones, y os la recomiendo todas, la mezcla de aromas es sencillamente increíble! </span><br />

La preparación es muy sencilla, basta con recolectar pieles de naranja, limón, pomelo, lima, lo que prefiráis (yo las voy guardando en un recipiente hermético o en una bolsa con cierre zip en la nevera hasta que tengo suficiente cantidad). Combinamos con algunas hierbas frescas (tomillo, romero, hierbabuena, menta...), y especias (clavos, unas vainas de vainilla, unas ramas de canela, anís de estrella...) y rellenamos botes de cristal con estas combinaciones y vinagre de manzana (o vinagre blanco) hasta cubrir. Dejamos macerar mínimo 2 semanas y colamos, reservando el líquido, que diluiremos en un poco de agua (para que no esté tan concentrado). Yo prefiero utilizarlo en un vaporizador, para facilitarme la tarea.</span><br />

Os animo a que lo probéis, nada quita la grasa y limpia en profundidad como el vinagre, y el toque cítrico potencia aún más su acción desengrasante, a la vez que perfuma la casa durante todo el día.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Es sencillísimo, os ahorraréis un dinero en productos de limpieza y estaréis utilizando un producto que no es para nada tóxico, y que como os he dicho, os lo podríais beber y estoy segura que estaría buenísimo!! ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Althought last Friday I talked so much about the benefits of clay and vinegar facial mask, its appearance wasn´t attractive at all and wasn´t really eye-catching :D but it has so many benefits!! With this recipe of my homemade cleaner, however, it doesn´t happen the same, because it's great and it looks so good! Moreover, while I keep it macerating, I always leave it on visible shelves in the kitchen, because I find it really decorative!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Some months ago I told you that I always use a homemade <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/sacando-provecho-al-vinagre-de-manzana.html" target="_blank">"orange vinegar" cleaner </a>(which is nothing else than apple cider vinegar infused for 2 weeks with orange peels), nothing removes grease and shines like this product. Diluted in water, removes limescale from bathtubs, faucets, shower doors, leaves clean and sparkling windows for a long time, and really shine and clean floors, everything shines and smells deliciously!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I´ve been using this cleaner for years, but a while ago I went a little further and in order to change the perfume, I started adding other plants, fruits, herbs and spices to the vinegar and the result is just wonderful!! If it seems like fragrance!! nothing remains from the penetrating smell of vinegar!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I've done different combinations, and I recommend you try all of them, the aroma mixture is simply amazing!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The preparation is really easy, just collect orange, lemon, grapefruit or lime peels (I'm keep them in an airtight container or zip lock bag in the fridge until I have enough). Combine with some fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, mint, peppermint ...) and spices (cloves, vanilla pods, some cinnamon sticks, star anise ...) and fill mason jars with these combinations and white or apple cider vinegar. Let infuse at least 2 weeks and then strain, reserving the liquid. Use it diluted in some water (so that it is not as concentrated). I prefer to use it in a vaporizer, to ease me the job.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I encourage you to try it out, nothing removes grease and cleans so good as vinegar, and this citrus twist enhances its degreasing action, while perfumes the house for the whole day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's so easy, you will save lot of money on cleaning products and you will be using a product that it isn´t toxic at all, in fact, you could even drink it and I´m sure it would be delicious!! ;)</span><br />

<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love clay-based masks, my favorite is the pink kaolin because it is very smooth, not only it doesn´t irritate sensitive skin but it also calms a lot. With French clay instead I have a love / hate relationship... as I don´t always get the desired results, but when a recipe with French clay works for me, the result is simply wonderful. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Before starting this anti-aging mask I had a feeling it would be very good but it was start mixing the ingredients, and I was completely sure that it would become my favorite facial mask!! Its texture is completely like a mousse, very fresh, fluffy, lovely and it smells great!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Me encantan las mascarillas a base de arcilla, mi favorita es la arcilla rosa porque es muy suave, no sólo no irrita la piel sensible sino que la calma muchísimo. Con la arcilla verde en cambio tengo una relación de amor / odio... no siempre consigo el resultado deseado, pero cuando una receta con arcilla verde me funciona, el resultado es maravilloso. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Antes de empezar con esta mascarilla anti-edad tenía la sensación que sería muy buena pero fue empezar a mezclar los ingredientes, y sentir que se convertiría en mi mascarilla preferida!! Su textura es totalmente como una mousse, muy fresca, esponjosa, una maravilla y huele genial!!! </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La receta como siempre es super sencilla, con unos pocos ingredientes y si alguno os falta, sentiros libres de sustituirlo por otro, si no tenéis aceite de rosa mosqueta, podéis utilizar aceite de oliva, o de almendras dulces, o de argán. Y si no tenéis aceite esencial de bergamota, podéis utilizar cualquier otro aceite esencial (por ejemplo lavanda, manzanilla, árbol del te, limón, geranio...). La textura de mousse supongo que se debe a la combinación de la arcilla con el vinagre de manzana, se transforma en una crema super esponjosa y suave, nada parecido a la aspereza de la arcilla!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vamos a los ingredientes!!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ingredientes:</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 cdas de vinagre ecológico de manzana </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cda de miel cruda</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 ctas arcilla verde</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 cdas de aceite de rosa mosqueta</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5 gotas de aceite esencial de bergamota </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mezclar todos los ingredientes en un cuenco que no sea metálico, porque la arcilla reacciona con el metal, utilizaremos un cuenco de barro, cristal, madera o cerámica, y una cuchara también de madera o cerámica. Integrar muy bien. Si la mezcla es muy sólida, agregar un poco más de vinagre hasta conseguir una textura muy cremosa.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aplicar con las manos sobre el cutis limpio y seco, y dejar actuar durante 15 a 20 minutos. Pasado ese tiempo retirar con los dedos la mascarilla, aclarar con abundante agua tibia e hidratar.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para acabar, un breve resumen de sus maravillosos beneficios que la convierten en un elixir de juventud:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">arcilla </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">posee grandes propiedades desinflamantes y desinfectantes, además ayuda a eliminar toxinas acumuladas bajo la piel, absorbe la grasa e impurezas de la piel y favorece la circulación sanguínea. La arcilla mejora e iguala el tono de la piel, reduciendo y eliminando pequeñas arrugas y recuperando el tono muscular, dejando la piel más tersa y flexible. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">miel </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">es un excelente antioxidante, previene la acción de los radicales libres (causante de la flaccidez, arrugas, manchas...), rica en enzimas y aminoácidos esenciales para conservar la piel joven. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El <b>vinagre de manzana</b> restaura la vitalidad de la piel, ayuda a eliminar las manchas de la edad, espinillas, acné, desbloquea los poros y permite que la piel respire libremente, gracias a sus propiedades antibacterianas, antifúngicas y antivirales.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El <b>aceite de rosa mosqueta</b> es el aceite más potente para regenerar la piel, cicatrizar heridas, disminuir arrugar y reducir los efectos dañinos del sol, altamente hidratante, aporta una gran cantidad de antioxidantes y rejuvenece la piel.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como veis nos sobran razones para llamar a esta mascarilla <b>elixir de juventud</b>!! Como con todos los tratamientos, es importante ser constante y repetir la aplicación una o dos veces a la semana para empezar a percibir grandes avances, pero os aseguro que una sola aplicación alcanzará para enamoraros y disfrutar de un resultado que os encantará! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que encontréis un ratito en este fin de semana para probarla y me contéis qué tal y si os ha gustado tanto como a mí! Que paséis un muy muy feliz fin de semana!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This recipe as always is super simple, with few ingredients and if any don´t have all of them, feel free to substitute for another, if you don´t have rosehip oil at home, you can use olive oil or sweet almonds oil, or argan oil instead. And if you don´t have bergamot essential oil, you can use any other essential oil (eg lavender, chamomile, tea tree, lemon, geranium...). I guess this mousse texture is due to the combination of clay with apple cider vinegar, it´s like a super fluffy and soft cream, nothing like the roughness of the clay!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let´s go to the ingredients !!</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Anti-aging mask:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ingredients:</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tbsp raw honey</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tsp green clay</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tbsp oil rosehip</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5 drops bergamot essential oil </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mix all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl, this is very important because clay reacts with metal, so use a glass, wooden or ceramic pot, and also a wooden or ceramic spoon. Blend everything. If the mixture is too strong, add some more drops of vinegar to get a very creamy texture.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apply using your hands on clean and dry skin clean, and leave for 15-20 minutes. After that time remove the mask with your fingers, rinse with warm water and moisturize.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, I just want to mention why we say it is anti-aging:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Clay</b> has large inflammatory and disinfectant properties, it also helps eliminate toxins accumulated under the skin, absorbs oil and impurities from the skin and promotes blood circulation. Clay improves and evens skin tone, reducing and eliminating wrinkles and regaining muscle tone, leaving the skin smooth and flexible.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Honey</b> is an excellent antioxidant, prevents the action of free radicals (causing flaccidity, wrinkles, spots...), rich in enzymes and essential amino acids to keep skin young.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Apple cider vinegar</b> restores the skin vitality, it helps remove age spots, pimples, acne, unclogs pores and allows the skin to breathe freely, thanks to its antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral traits.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Rosehip oil</b> is the most powerful oil to regenerate skin, heals wounds, reduces wrinkles and reduces the harmful effects of sun, it´s a highly moisturizing oil, with lots of antioxidants which rejuvenates the skin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As we see, there are too many reasons to call this mask <b>`elixir of youth´</b>!! As with all treatments, it is important to be persevering and repeat the application once or twice a week to start to perceive great progress, but I assure you that one application will be enough to fall in love with it and you will love the result!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you find a some minutes during this weekend to give this mask a go and tell me your opinion, and if you just liked it as much as I do! Wish you have a very very happy weekend!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I opened the season of balconies and windows open wide (surely you too) and I´m always looking for useful and natural tips to drive insects away (and repelling them from my body too), I eventually discovered that not only I attract mosquitoes, I am also particularly attractive to ants, wasps, bees and the whole family of flies and midges.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This DIY is ideal for terraces and balconies, but also to acclimate any room, I like so much its rustic yet romantic touch and I confess that it smells amazing. If you put this lovely jar closer to your nose, you will feel carried to a fresh grass field on a sunny day in Spring!! And when you light the candle, I can´t explain with words!! It is such a delicious and relaxing scent and apparently mosquitoes hate it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sí, parece contradictorio o al menos poco compatible, romántico y repelente no pega en absoluto! pero qué escenario romántico puede producirse si tenemos unos molestos mosquitos zumbando insoportablemente a nuestro alrededor? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He inaugurado la temporada de balcones y ventanas abiertas de par en par (seguro que vosotros también) y siempre estoy buscando consejos útiles y naturales para ahuyentar (y repeler de mi cuerpo) los insectos (con el tiempo he descubierto que no sólo atraigo mosquitos, también soy especialmente atractiva para hormigas, avispas, abejas y toda la familia de las moscas y las mosquitas). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este diy es ideal para la terraza, pero también para ambientar cualquier habitación, su toque rústico y a la vez romántico me gusta mucho y además os confieso que huele increíble. Si os acercáis un poco al bote es un olor a campo y hierba fresca!! y cuando encendéis la vela, ya no hay palabras!! es un aroma muy relajante y que, al parecer, los mosquitos detestan!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta es sólo una idea, podéis (y debéis) dejar volar la imaginación y seguro haréis unos repelentes mil veces más bonitos y románticos que éstos... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Necesitaremos unas velas de las que flotan en el agua (se consiguen en cualquier bazar de los chinos!, pero aseguraos que dice "flotante" si no, no nos vale!), unas hojas de hierbabuena o menta, unas ramitas de romero, unas rodajas de limón, lima, naranja... y unas gotas de aceite esencial de limón, o citronella, o menta, o bergamota... si no tenéis aceite esencial, podríais utilizar una vela de citronella, pero no os lo recomiendo porque he leído sus ingredientes y son todo menos naturales! el aceite esencial es cierto que no es muy económico (os gastaréis unos 10 euros) pero como sólo se utilizan unas gotitas, os durará un año entero o más!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ponemos estos ingredientes en un bote de cristal con agua, mezclamos y colocamos la vela. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ya de por sí huele increíble, al día siguiente os aseguro que huele aún mejor, y dura muchos muchos días. Al encender la vela, el calor entibia el agua y se desprende un aroma que no os puedo contar con palabras!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Estoy esperando acabar esta vela, para hacer una nueva versión con hojas de limonero y naranjo y citronella, tiene que oler fenomenal!!</span><br />

This is just an idea, you can (and must) let your imagination fly and surely you will create the cutest and most romantic repellents!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For this DIY, you´ll need some floating candles (available at any dollar/pound store, but make sure the package says "floating" candle), some mint or peppermint leaves, some sprigs of rosemary, some slices of lemon, lime, orange... and a few drops of lemon, citronella, mint or bergamot essential oil... if you don´t have any essential oil, you could use a citronella candle, but I don´t recommend it because I read its ingredients and it´s anything but natural! the essential oil is admittedly not very economical (you might spend about 10 euros) but as only a few drops are used, it will last a year or more!</span><br />

Here it has been really hot, and with summer arrives one of my most feared tortures: foot blisters and rubbing! I love to wear sandals and wedges, every year I succumb to the new tempting shoes that stores offer, and after a couple of uses I fall into my harsh reality: a pair of walks and my feet are full of blisters, chafing and real grooves in my feet...</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No matter the quality of the shoe, whether it is leather or synthetic, if it is closed or open, with strips or laces, breathable or not ... everything hurts me!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I returned to my foot soaks, and my foot care kit, that it´s really comforting. And when I was in my little homemade spa, I realized that I had never shared this recipe on this blog!! I thought to publish a couple of months ago and I forgot completely, so I think today is a good time, we don´t need to have our feet damaged to enjoy this care, which is highly moisturizing and nourishing. I shared before a green tea foot spa recipe, you can see it <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/spa-casero-para-pies.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Anyway, I´m sure you´ll love this <b>Himalayan sal & sugar scrub</b> and this c<b>hamomile & coconut oil moisturizing cream. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;">Espero que hayáis disfrutado mucho del fin de semana!! Por aquí hemos pasado mucho calor, y con ello una de mis torturas veraniegas: los pies! Me encanta llevar sandalias y cuñas, cada año sucumbo a los nuevos modelos de calzado tan tentadores que nos ofrecen las tiendas, y luego de un par de usos caigo en mi cruda realidad: un par de caminatas y mis pies se llenan de ampollas, rozaduras y verdaderos surcos en carne viva...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Da igual la calidad del zapato, si es piel o sintético, si es cerrado o abierto, si tiene tiras o lazos, si es transpirable o no... todo me hace daño!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Así que he vuelto a mis baños de pies, y a mi kit de cuidados para pies, que realmente los reconforta. Y cuando estaba en mi particular spa, me di cuenta que nunca había compartido esta receta en el blog!! Pensaba publicarlo hace un par de meses y se me olvidó completamente, creo que hoy es una buena ocasión, no hace falta tener los pies maltratados para disfrutar de estos cuidados, que son altamente hidratantes y nutritivos. Ya he compartido antes un spa de té verde para pies, podéis verlo<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/spa-casero-para-pies.html" target="_blank"> aquí</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este kit se compone de un <b><span style="color: #274e13;">exfoliante a base de aceite de coco, azúcar moreno y sal del himalaya</span></b> (podéis utilizar sal marina), una <b><span style="color: #274e13;">piedra exfoliante hecha de terracotta</span></b>, y una <b><span style="color: #274e13;">crema hidratante a base de aceite de coco y aceite esencial de manzanilla</span></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como veis, es un kit de recuperación de la piel, eliminación de impurezas y pieles muertas, e hidratación intensa. Por ello, es ideal para todo tipo de pies!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si queréis intensificar los resultados, os recomiendo realizar antes un baño de pies, mezclando un puñado de sal gorda y bicarbonato en un cubo con agua tibia, podéis agregar unas gotas de aceite esencial de lavanda y árbol del te o un manojo de manzanilla o flores secas de lavanda. Si lo preferís podéis agregar unas <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/homemade-bath-salts.html" target="_blank">bombas de baño como éstas</a> o este <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/spa-casero-para-pies.html" target="_blank">baño de pies</a> que os propuse hace un tiempo. Y reposar allí los pies durante unos 20 minutos. Así curaremos las heridas y ampollas y evitaremos cualquier infección, también ablandaremos las pieles muertas y durezas, y será más fácil eliminarlas, además de la sensación de comfort que sentirán vuestros días al cabo de un día de mucha actividad!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Exfoliante para pies:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 cdas de aceite de coco </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 cdas miel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/4 taza de aceite de oliva (yo utilicé oleato de caléndula)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 taza azúcar moreno</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 taza sal del himalaya (o sal marina fina)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">unas gotas de aceite esencial del árbol del te</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mezclamos todos los ingredientes, podemos agregar más aceite de oliva si la mezcla no se integra lo suficiente (depende un poco de la temperatura donde viváis). Si donde vivís el aceite de coco es sólido, lo podéis batir e integrar al resto de ingredientes, si en cambio hace calor y el aceite es líquido, mejor dejarlo tal cual e integrarlo de forma líquida a los ingredientes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Este exfoliante es ideal para pies, el grano gordo del azúcar moreno junto con el fino de la sal ejerce una exfoliación intensa pero delicada a la vez, suavizando durezas y eliminando pieles muertas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lo aplicaremos realizando un suave masaje, insistiendo en las zonas donde hayan durezas y sequedad. El aceite de coco y el aceite de oliva (o cualquier macerado que tengáis) garantiza una alta hidratación, y el aceite esencial del árbol del te es gran antibacteriano y fungicida.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A continuación frotaremos con la piedra de terracotta, la podéis encontrar en herbolarios y tiendas de productos naturales. Podéis utilizar una piedra pomez también. Lo que me gusta de esta piedra de terracotta es su suavidad y que no hace ningún daño a la piel, pero elimina las pieles muertas de manera muy efectiva y ablanda todas las durezas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y por último hidratamos con esta crema casera y maravillosa de coco y manzanilla, que dejaremos actuar toda la noche:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Crema de coco:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">aceite de coco</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">aceite de oliva (u oleato de manzanilla)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">maicena</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">aceite esencial de manzanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">vitamina E opcional</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No he puesto cantidades porque se hace un poco a ojo y dependerá mucho del clima en que viváis. Si estáis en un clima cálido, por encima de los 25º, vuestro aceite de coco será líquido, en ese caso mezclaremos todos los ingredientes hasta obtener una pasta, refrigeraremos hasta solidificar y batiremos con la batidora eléctrica hasta obtener una textura cremosa. Yo utilicé 1/2 taza de aceite de coco y oliva (mezclados), 1 cda maicena y 10 gotas de aceite esencial. Se puede conservar en el frigorífico para conservar su textura original, pero no es obligatorio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Si en cambio vivís en un clima más frío, y vuestro aceite de coco se presenta en estado sólido, bastará agregar el aceite de oliva y el aceite esencial y batir con batidora, hasta obtener una textura similar a la nata montada, no hará falta incorporar la maicena. Conservar fuera de la nevera. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aplicar en todo el pie, en el momento de ir a la cama, realizando un suave masaje y dejar hidratar durante toda la noche.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En casos agudos de sequedad y falta de hidratación, un método muy efectivo es embadurnar </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">el pie con una cantidad generosa de crema y poner el pie en una bolsa plástica, dejar unas cuantas horas (o toda la noche) y a la mañana siguiente la piel habrá recuperado su belleza y suavidad!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This kit consists of a <b>Himalayan salt, coconut oil & brown sugar scrub</b>, a <b>terracotta pumice stone</b>, and a <b>moisturizing cream made from coconut oil and chamomile essential oil.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you see, it is a recovery skin kit, removes calluses and dead skin, and gives intense moisturizing. Therefore, it is ideal for all types of feet!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you want to intensify the results, I recommend taking a foot soak before, mixing a handful of coarse salt and baking soda in a bucket with warm water, you can add a few drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil or a bunch of dried chamomile or lavender. If you prefer you can add some <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/homemade-bath-salts.html" target="_blank">bath bombs like these</a> or this <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/spa-casero-para-pies.html" target="_blank">green tea foot soak</a> that I posted some time ago. Soak your feet for about 20 minutes. This will heal wounds and blisters and avoid any infection, it will also soften hard skin and calluses, and will make easier to remove them, apart from the feeling of comfort that your feet will experience after a busy day!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Foot scrub:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 Tbsp coconut oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 Tbsp honey</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/4 cup olive oil (I used calendula infused oil)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cup brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cup Himalayan salt (or fine sea salt)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a few drops of trea tree essential oil </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mix all ingredients, you can add more olive oil if the mixture is not well integrated (it depends on where the climate). If where you live coconut oil is in its solid state, you can whip and then icorporate the rest of ingredients. If coconut oil is liquid, just mix all ingredients together, without whipping.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This scrub is ideal for feet, the coarse granulate brown sugar mixed with fine sea salt make a strong but gentle exfoliation while softening hardness and removing dead skin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We will apply a gentle massage, insisting in hard and dry areas. Coconut oil and olive oil (or any oil you have infused) ensure high hydration and tea tree essential oil is a great antibacterial and fungicidal .</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then rub with terracotta pumice stone, you can find it in health food and natural food stores. You can also use a regular pumice stone. What I like about this terracota stone is how soft it is, and also that it doesn´t harm the skin, removes dead skin and softens hard skin as well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And finally let´s moisturize with this wonderful homemade chamomile & coconut oil cream:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Camomile & coconut oil moisturizing cream:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">coconut oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">olive oil (or chamomile infused oil)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">cornstarch</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">chamomile essential oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vitamin E optional</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven´t set quantities because it gets a little eye and depend greatly on the climate in which you live. If you are in a warm climate, above 25 degrees, your coconut oil will be liquid, then mix all ingredients to a paste, cool to solidify and then beat with electric mixer until creamy. I used 1/2 cup coconut and olive oil (mixed), 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 10 drops of essential oil. It can be store in the fridge to mantain its original texture, but it´s not required.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If instead you live in a colder climate, and your coconut oil comes in solid state, simply add the olive oil and essential oil and beat with mixer until mixture looks like whipped cream, you will not need to incorporate cornstarch. Keep out of the fridge.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apply along the entire foot, at the time of going to bed, with a gentle massage and leave hydrate overnight.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In acute cases of dryness and lack of hydration, a very effective method is to smear your foot with a generous amount of cream and put your foot in a plastic bag, leaving for a few hours (or overnight) and the next morning your skin will recover its beauty and softness!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can´t explain exactly why but today´s post makes me feel a little like Martha Stewart :D or Martha Stewart´s apprentice at least :D</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I got the idea of starting a blog it was clear to me that it should have two foundations in its philosophy:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">everything should be as natural as possible, hence the theme of the blog `<i>Don´t put on your skin what you would never put on your plate´</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">everything should be very easy to prepare, simple and with minimum ingredients possible </span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625;">En fin, cuando se me ocurrió llevar adelante un blog quería que tuviera dos pilares fundamentales en su filosofía de ser:</span></div>
<ul style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: 27.0833339691162px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em 2.5em; padding: 0px;">

<li style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"><span data-mce-style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> que todo fuese muy sencillo de preparar, simple y con los mínimos ingredientes posible</span></span></li>

</div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lo que más me gustó de esta receta es que sólo lleva 3 ingredientes mezclados y congelados, no hay más! Y además la textura, con un sencillo truco que os comentaré, no es cristalizada sino apenas crujiente, pero suave y tierna. Es una explosión de sabor y texturas al morder!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Polos de fresa</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ingredientes:</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 tazas de fresas cortadas</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 cdas de azúcar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cda de zumo de limón</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Preparación:</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Con esta receta salen 8 polos (medianos).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vamos a triturar sólo un poco (sin que se deshagan del todo) una taza de fresas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reservamos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Trituramos ahora las otras 2 tazas de fresas con el azúcar y el zumo de limón. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mezclamos todo y vertemos en moldes de polos, si no tenéis podéis utilizar vasitos de plástico, o cualquier molde que os guste su forma. Si váis a utilizar vasitos de plástico, podéis cubrirlos con film y pinchar un palito para que se sujete y quede erguido al congelar.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Llevamos al congelador. Es mejor dejarlo unas cuantas horas (no hagáis como yo que soy impaciente).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para desmoldar, si el molde es rígido pondremos unos instantes bajo del grifo y el polo se desprenderá fácilmente. Si el molde es de silicona, no tendremos ninguna dificultad.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os puedo asegurar que esta técnica de triturar un poco menos una parte de las fresas aporta una textura increíble, y el sabor es delicioso! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que disfrutéis de un hermoso fin de semana y probéis esta receta, hoy no hay excusas!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I really wanted to share this post because, at least here in Valencia, days have become horribly stuffy. Besides, we also are in strawberry season, so it´s a perfect time to prepare this recipe, which, as I said before, it can´t be easier and it´s a good chance to be made by children, so if you have any junior masterchef at home, put him to work!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
What I like about this recipe is that it only takes 3 ingredients mixed and frozen, nothing else! And its soft texture, not crystallized at all but just crunchy, yet soft and tender. It is an explosion of flavors and textures in your mouth!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Let´s go to the recipe!</span><br />

<b>Strawberry popsicles</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<i>Ingredients:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 cups ripe fresh strawberries (sliced)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 Tbsp sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 Tbsp lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<i>Preparation:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This recipe makes 8 (medium size) popsicles </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In a blender, place only one cup of strawberries, and blend on lowest setting, don´t blend too much only until <span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.400000005960465px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">small pieces of strawberries are still visible. Set aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now blend the remaining 2 cups of strawberries with sugar and lemon juice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Combine everything and pour into popsicle molds, you can also use plastic cups, or any ice cube tray you have handy. If you´re using plastic cups, you can put some plastic wrap film over the top of your mold and punch a stick through, creating a small hole that is just the right size to keep the stick standing</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Place in the freezer for a few hours.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To unmold the finished popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the mold until the handle can be easily pulled out of the mold or set the molds or cups in warm water for a few seconds.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I can tell you that this tip of keeping a portion of semi-blended strawberries provides the popsicles an incredible texture, and the taste is so delicious!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I hope you enjoy a beautiful weekend and give this recipe a go!</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Taking advantage that I was running out of rosemary infused oil, which I use so much, it came to my mind the idea to discuss with you its many benefits and since it is so easy to prepare I encourage you to do it too!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Aprovechando que se me estaba acabando el oleato de romero, al que tantos usos le doy, se me ocurrió comentar con vosotros sus innumerables beneficios y ya que es tan sencillo de preparar animaros a hacerlo también!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">El romero es una hierba aromática muy extendida y fácil de conseguir y recolectar. Podemos encontrar romero fresco prácticamente en cualquier supermercado y en cualquier paseo por el campo -incluso lo veréis en jardines y zonas verdes de las ciudades. Como sólo necesitaremos un poco, bastará con cortar algunas ramas y utilizarlas, cuanto más frescas mejor (aunque también se puede preparar con romero seco).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">En post anteriores he mencionado los beneficios del romero y he mostrado diferentes usos (en<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/exfoliante-de-manos-de-romero-y-naranja.html" target="_blank"> exfoliantes</a>, <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/kit-casero-de-relajacion.html" target="_blank">aceites de masaje</a>, <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/coconut-milk-rosemary-conditioner.html" target="_blank">mascarillas</a>, <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/irresistible-chocolate-parte-i.html" target="_blank">jabones</a>...), así que no me extenderé mucho en sus propiedades, sólo destacar que es <b>un excelente antioxidante, gran aliado para curar y prevenir todo tipo de problemas de piel, uñas y cabello</b>. En aromaterapia se utiliza para <b>tratar estados de ansiedad y mejorar el estado anímico y reducir los niveles de estrés.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">El oleato de romero es simplemente la maceración del romero en un aceite portador, que puede ser aceite de oliva virgen extra, aceite de almendras dulces, argán, etc. A mí personalmente me gusta hacerlo con un aceite de oliva de buena calidad y extracción en frío.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nos aseguraremos que tanto el romero como el recipiente que utilicemos estén limpios y sin restos de humedad, porque eso enranciaría el oleato. Si no estamos seguros si el romero es de cultivo ecológico, lo mejor será lavarlo bien, y remojar en agua con unas gotitas de alcohol, aclarar y volver a lavar. Secar, eliminar toda la humedad y rellenar el bote de cristal, que también estará limpio y seco. Rellenamos con aceite, hasta cubrir totalmente el romero, lo mejor es llenar el recipiente, para asegurarnos que el aire no enranciará el aceite. También podéis agregar unas gotas de vitamina E, pero es opcional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cerrar herméticamente y reservar en un sitio fresco. Aquí hay dos opciones, si vivís en una zona muy calurosa, lo mejor sería guardar en un armario, alejado de cualquier fuente de calor. Si el clima os lo permite y no hace mucho calor, podéis guardarlo en un lugar donde reciba un poco de luz de sol y luz de la noche (luz de luna). Yo utilizo este método durante los meses más frescos. En verano en Valencia, prefiero reservarlo en un armario de la cocina o en mi habitación (que es el sitio más fresco) y donde aún así recibe un poco de luz.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cada dos o tres días sacudiremos un poco el recipiente, para que el romero se impregne totalmente. Dejamos macerar mínimo 40 días, al cabo de ese tiempo, abriremos el recipiente, filtramos el aceite y lo guardamos en un bote limpio de cristal, y reservamos en un sitio fresco y alejado de la luz. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ya podemos utilizar el oleato como queramos:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- aplicando directamente unas gotas en el cabello, como <b>mascarilla capilar</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- como <b>aceite de masaje</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- en la <b>elaboración de jabones, cremas, exfoliantes, lociones, bálsamos labiales...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- como <b>aceite corporal</b>, después de la ducha, <b>como hidratante</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- <b>sobre heridas, eccema, problemas cutáneos</b>, aplicado directamente sobre la zona</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bueno, yo es que le doy muchísimo uso, porque <b>huele fenomenal y es altamente curativo</b>. Si nos duelen los músculos luego de un esfuerzo, o tenemos una contractura, un suave masaje con este aceite hará milagros.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">También podéis sustituir el romero por cualquier otra hierba (lavanda, manzanilla, caléndula, hipérico...) o pieles de naranja, limón, pomelo... por nombrar unos pocos ejemplos, que además son mis favoritos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que probéis a hacerlo en casa, os encantará el resultado, para mí es mucho mejor que cualquier crema o mascarilla comercial que haya podido probar, y además con la confianza de no estar llenando mi cuerpo de tóxicos, sustancias cancerígenas, aditivos, estabilizantes, emulsionantes... totalmente prescindibles y de los que conviene huir siempre que podamos!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rosemary is a very common and easy to obtain and collect aromatic plant. We can find fresh rosemary in almost all supermarkets or when taking a walk in the countryside, or even in urban green areas you can also find rosemary bushes. As you will only need a little, simply cut some branches and use them, the more fresh the best will be (although this infused oil can be prepared with dried rosemary).</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In previous post I mentioned the benefits of rosemary and have shown different uses (in <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/exfoliante-de-manos-de-romero-y-naranja.html" target="_blank">scrubs</a>, <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/kit-casero-de-relajacion.html" target="_blank">massage oils</a>, <a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/coconut-milk-rosemary-conditioner.html" target="_blank">masks</a>,<a href="http://sano-sanisimo.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/irresistible-chocolate-parte-i.html" target="_blank"> soaps</a>...), so I will not go into its properties so much, only emphasize that it is <b>an excellent antioxidant, great ally to heal and prevent all kinds of skin problems, nails and hair</b></span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. In aromatherapy it is used to <b>treat states of anxiety and improve mood and reduce stress levels.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rosemary infused oil consists simply of macerating rosemary in a carrier oil, which can be extra virgin olive oil, sweet almonds oil, argan oil, etc. Personally I prefer using a good first cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We will ensure that both the rosemary and the mason jar we use are clean and free of moisture, to prevent rancidity. </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If we are not sure if the rosemary is organic, you'd better wash it well, soak in water with a few drops of alcohol, rinse and wash again. Dry, remove all moisture and fill the mason jar, which will also be clean and dry. Fill with oil to completely cover the rosemary, it is best to fill the jar to the fullest, to ensure air will not make the oil become stale. You can also add a few drops of vitamin E, but is optional.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Close tightly and keep in a cool place. He have two options here, if you live in a very hot area, it would be best kept in a cupboard away from any heat source. If the weather allows you and it´s not too hot, you can place it in a location where it can receive some sunlight and moonlight. I use this method during the cooler months. In summer in Valencia, I prefer to place it in a kitchen cabinet or in my room (which is the coolest place) and where it still gets some sunlight during the day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Every two or three days shake the mason jar a little to fully permeate rosemary. Let macerate at least 40 days, after that time, we will open the jar, filter the oil and store it in a clean mason jar, keep it in a cool place away from light.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We can now use the infused oil as we want:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Directly applying a few drops on hair, as <b>hair mask</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- As a <b>massage oil</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- In the <b>preparation of soaps, creams, scrubs, lotions, lip balms</b>...</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- As <b>body lotion, </b>after the shower, as a<b> moisturizer</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- <b>On wounds, eczema, scratches, skin problems,</b> applied directly to the area</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, I give it a lot of uses! <b>It smells great and it is really healing</b>. If we suffer from muscles aches after an effort, or a contracture, a gentle massage with this oil will do wonders.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can also replace rosemary with any other herb (lavender, chamomile, calendula, hypericum ...) or orange, lemon or grapefruit peels ... to name a few examples, which are my favorites too.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you all had a wonderful weekend !! Mine has been exhausting, I wonder how my week will be if I´ve just started it feeling tired !! : D</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last week I suffered a lot with mosquitoes, and have been studying seriously how to combat them. I found several methods, I tried out the ones that convinced me most, and I will share in future posts all the recipes that have given me the best results.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A week ago I had a terrible experience with a mosquito, it literally ate me! not only it didn´t leave a piece of my body without biting ... can you believe there was only one mosquito in the room?? I think it bit me for hurt, because it was impossible it continued physiologically hungry!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To sum up, unable to kill it, I spent the night searching on the Internet<b> natural and homemade repellents</b> and the next morning I got on with them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I absolutely refuse to use commercial insecticides and repellents because they are all really toxic, I will not go deep on this issue but you can search the Internet for its harmful effects on people, pets and plants.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I´m going to share three methods to keep mosquitoes at bay, dissuade them from entering the house and do not bite us. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Espero que hayáis pasado un maravilloso fin de semana!! El mío ha sido agotador, con lo cual me pregunto como remontaré la semana si ya la comienzo cansada!! :D </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta última semana he sufrido muchísimo con los mosquitos, y he estado estudiando seriamente cómo combatirlos. He encontrado varios métodos, he probado los que más me convencían, compartiré en próximos posts los que me han dado mejor resultado.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hace una semana tuve una terrible experiencia con un mosquito, literalmente me comió! no dejó un sólo trocito de mi cuerpo sin picar... os podéis creer que había sólo un mosquito en la habitación?? yo creo que ya picaba por hacer daño, porque era fisiológicamente imposible que siguiera teniendo hambre!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Total que, ante la imposibilidad de matarlo, me pasé la noche buscando <b>repelentes caseros y naturales</b> en Internet y a la mañana siguiente me puse manos a la obra. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Me niego rotundamente a utilizar insecticidas y repelentes comerciales porque todos son absolutamente tóxicos, no me extenderé en este tema pero podéis buscar en Internet sus efectos nocivos sobre las personas, mascotas y plantas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Os cuento 3 métodos para mantener los mosquitos a raya, disuadirlos de entrar en casa y que no nos piquen. Vamos en ese orden!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Para evitar que entren en casa, un método aparentemente muy efectivo es tener cerca de las ventanas plantas y hierbas aromáticas. Yo tengo un pequeño jardín aromático con tomillo, romero y albahaca, otro con hierbabuena y menta, y otro con plantas de lavanda... supongo que esto ha ayudado a que no entren los mosquitos en el salón... pero no estoy segura si es por esta razón o no, lo cierto es que he leído en muchos sitios que tener plantas aromáticas disuade a los mosquitos de entrar.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Es buena idea colocar alguna plantita de citronella, que también los ahuyenta.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Otro método que me ha encantado porque huele fenomenal y hace las veces de ambientador, es <b>este difusor</b>, que se utiliza como cualquier mikado, pero sin los aromatizadores y químicos que estos productos contienen. Solo utilizaremos aceite esencial, un poquito de alcohol y aceite de almendras. Aquí tenemos varias opciones y podemos combinar los aceites como nos guste o tengamos por casa. Para ahuyentar mosquitos el aceite de citronella, o de limón, o hierba limón o menta son ideales! Realmente funciona!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Esta es la receta que yo he creado -luego de buscar y probar diferentes combinaciones:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Difusor casero repelente de mosquitos:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">aceite de almendras dulces (o cualquier otro aceite portador)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">unas gotas de alcohol 96º</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">unas gotas de aceite esencial de limón (o citronella)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">aceite esencial de bergamota (opcional)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">aceite esencial de menta (opcional)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">palitos de bambú</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mezclamos los ingredientes en un recipiente pequeño y dejamos reposar un día. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Podéis utilizar los aceites esenciales que más os gusten, yo quería estrenar el de bergamota, que huele fenomenal y tiene muchísimas propiedades en la aromaterapia. Es muy refrescante, ideal para el verano, y además tiene un efecto equilibrador y tonificante en el sistema nervioso, ideal contra las molestias psicológicas, la ansiedad, la depresión... es un gran estimulante del buen humor y la positividad! Casi lo mismo sucede con el aceite esencial de menta. Es una combinación genial!</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Abrimos y colocamos los difusores, que serán unas varas de bambú o rattan, o en su defecto unos palillos de brocheta a los que habremos cortado las puntas.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Como veis tiene unos toques muy cítricos que perfuman de una manera deliciosa, resulta una fragancia muy relajante y nada excesiva.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cuando disminuye el aroma, bastará con remover un poco el líquido y dar vuelta los palillos, que se impregnarán poco a poco con los aceites.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y por último un repelente muy efectivo, que es lo que estoy utilizando después de aquella fatídica noche, es simplemente colocar <b>una gotita de aceite esencial de limón</b> en las zonas calientes del cuerpo, o los puntos estratégicos (antebrazos, muñecas, tobillos... en fin, donde os suelan picar, pero sólo una gotita por zona, sin excederse).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Veréis que los mosquitos ni se os acercan. Al parecer detestan el olor a limón :D</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To prevent mosquitoes entering home, a seemingly very effective method is to place <b>herb plants </b>near windows. I have a small herb garden with thyme, rosemary and basil, another window box with spearmint and peppermint plants, and another with lavender plants ... I guess this has helped to keep mosquitoes out of the living room ... but I'm not sure whether it is for this reason or not, the fact is that I have read in many places that having aromatic plants blocks mosquitoes from entering.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's a good idea to keep a citronella plant, which also drives them away. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another method that has pleased me because it smells great and it´s an excellent air freshener as well, is <b>this diffuser</b>, which is used like any Mikado, but without the fresheners and chemicals these products contain. Only use essential oil, some drops of alcohol and oil. Here we have several options and we can bend essential oils as we prefer or have at home. To ward off mosquitoes, lemongrass, lemon or mint essential oils are great! They really work!</span></div>
</div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the recipe I created -after searching and trying out different combinations:</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Homemade mosquito repellent diffuser:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">sweet almonds oil (as carrier oil)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">some drops of alcohol 96º</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">some drops of Lemon (or lemongrass) essential oil</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">some drops of bergamot essential oil (optional)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">some drops of Peppermint essential oil (optional)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">bamboo sticks</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mix the ingredients in a small glass container and let stand one day.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Open and place the diffusers.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enjoy this delicious citrus scented aroma, it is a very relaxing fragrance and not excessive at all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can use the essential oils you prefer. I wanted to use my bergamot essential oil, which smells great and has many properties in aromatherapy. It is very refreshing, perfect for summer, and also has a balancing and toning effect on the nervous system against psychological great discomfort, anxiety, depression ... it is a great stimulant of humor and positivity! peppermint essential oil has similar benefits as well.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you notice the scent decreases, simply remove some fluid and turn the sticks, which are gradually permeate with oils.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And finally a very effective repellent, which is what I'm using after that fateful night: simply place <b>a drop of lemon essential oil </b>in warm areas of the body, or the strategic points (forearms, wrists, ankles ... in short, where mosquitoes usually bite you, but only place just one droplet per area).</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You will see that mosquitoes won´t come again. Apparently they hate the smell of lemon: D</span><br />
