Tea Beauty Tips

Try a cup of ginger green tea – it’s a very aromatic and spicy treat.

Rooibos tea is said to help relieve insomnia.

Herbal teas are typically decaffeinated. Some people drink infusions for various medicinal uses.

Been in the sun too long? Run your bath water with several tea bags under the spout. Use oolong, green tea, or jasmine and soak your tender skin in the fragrant water.

Tea can help keep your breath sweet!

Want your feet to smell fresh? Tea is a natural astringent and the tannic acid will help kill bacteria. Soak your feet in black tea for great results.

After you shampoo, rinse your hair with a glass of green tea mixed with some lemon juice. Leave the rinse in for silky, smooth hair.

Help ease the discomfort of an insect bite or razor burn by placing the moist green tea bag over the area. The tea properties will reduce itching and swelling.

The ritual of tea is the perfect complement for your time of prayer and mediation.

Tea comes to the aid of puffy eyes. Boil water and put two black tea bags in. Brew for five minutes, remove the bags, and press out the liquid. Place the bags in the freezer for ten minutes. Lie down and place the cooled tea bags over your eyes for ten to fifteen minutes. The eye area will look refreshed. Warm tea bags can also be used.

Beauty comes from within

I think beauty comes from within. If you're happy and look at life in the best way you can, even when there are problems, it can make you beautiful on the outside.

Your Inner Beauty NEVER needs Makeup!

Love is...

God is more interested

 in the inner beauty 

of a person 

than the outer.

God is not concerned with outward appearance. He looks into our hearts and sees our true motives and desires, what is on the inside is much more important than how we dress up the outside.

Scripture:

“Your adornment should not be an external one: braiding the hair, wearing old jewelry, or dressing in fine clothes, but rather the hidden character of the heart, expressed in the imperishable beauty of a gentle and calm disposition, which is precious in the sight of God.” ~~ 1 Peter 3:3

 "But the LORD said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because
 I have rejected him.  God does not see as a mortal, who sees the appearance. The LORD looks into the heart." ~~ 1 Samuel 16:7

Month of May

By tradition, the Catholic Church dedicates each month of the  year to a certain devotion.  In May, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary.  This devotion arose among Jesuits in Rome in the late 18th century and quickly spread throughout the Western Church.  By the time of Pope Piux IX's declaration of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854, it had become universal.  May crownings and other special May events in honor of Mary, such as public recitation of the rosary, stem from this time. 

May, Month of Mary

  As May was the month of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and June is the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, does it not follow that as May leads into June, Mary leads us to her the love of her Son, symbolized by His Sacred Heart.

Easter

Throughout the years of his active ministry, Jesus revealed the divine power at work in him through earthly parables and shared meals.  After his Resurrection from the dead, the disciples came to recognize him in the stranger who spoke to them of the Scriptures along the way when he broke bread with them.  In these post-Resurrection days, Jesus wants us to know him in the same way.  Every Mass follows the same pattern: we hear God's wisdom in the Liturgy of the Word; we taste God's love in the Liturgy of the Eucharist.



We continue to celebrate Easter.  I feel so special that Jesus gave his life for me.  My challenge now is what I can do for Him after he paid such a price for me to have the opportunity to go to heaven.  have you thought about what you might do?
