Foot Scrub
"Baking Soda is an odor remover and is slightly abrasive so it works well as a scrub (though not as good as fine sand). Lavender and Lemon stated in the recipe are Lavender essential oil and Lemon essential oil. You may substitute Sweet or Bitter Orange Essential oil for the Lemon Essential oil."

Very nice scrub...if you want "scrubbier" you can add a tablespoon of corn meal. -
I hate wearing socks, so my feet are constantly exposed. On top of that, I've got dry skin, so I'm not about to win any foot beauty contests. This scrub really works wonders. I made it at the end of a long day at work and an endless bus ride home where I had to stand the whole time. The lemon oil really wakes up your tired feet while at the same time the lavender oil soothes them. Instead of the tea tree oil I used a drop of clary sage oil for my dry skin. Next time I'm going to try Molly's suggestion of adding some cornmeal for a really good slough! Thanks, V-nut, this one is going to become a regular habit!

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been.
I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking.
I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are.

The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize.
I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!!
Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too!
In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means :
(A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic
I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste).
If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
