Seven Steps to a Healthier Witch

First: Learn to stand tall and straight and you will look and feel better. Once a day remove your shoes and stand with your back to a flat wall. Your heels, bottom, back, head, shoulders and arms should all touch the wall. Now, without rising on your toes stretch up as tall as you can.

Second: Develop a natural rather than chemical scent. Switch from scented soaps, antiperspirants and deodorants to unscented ones, or use a deodorant stone. Use only a small amount of a very light scent, or an essential oil Remember, if you can smell your scent, it's too strong.

Third: Tired and sore feet affect the way you look and react towards others, so pamper them: remove dead skin, apply a lotion, keep the nails neat and wear shoes which really fit and are comfortable.

Fourth: Practice smiling often, with your eyes as well as your mouth. It can help to imagine you have secret good news. Check this in the mirror, as you don't want to look like an idiot!

Fifth: Ensure your hair is clean, shiny and well cut. A good cut saves a lot of daily fiddling and shiny hair looks a lot better than tortured and starched hair!

Sixth: Drink lots of plain water, at least 8 glasses a day. Water cleanses the whole system and gives clear eyes and skin.

Seventh: Go for a short, brisk walk every day, whatever the weather. It improves the cardio-vascular and respiratory systems, tones and strengthens the legs and gives you time to clear your head and focus your mind. Use this time to notice the natural world around you.

Excellent advice, Lady Elaine.  I might add to try to eat something natural and raw everyday.  Like an apple or other fruit, organic, even better!  I have a reputation at work because I drink herbal infusions regularly and tend to eat lots of salads, veggies and fruits.  Everyone else buys take out from McDonald's or from the pizzeria and then they complain about the high price of their cholesterol meds, or high blood pressure meds, blood thinners, etc,etc,etc!

Number 7 is easy for me, I've got a dog that needs to go out every day at 3.  I need to work on the other numbers though, especially the drinking of that much water, I might have a glass of plain water once every... other day or so.

This one is difficult for me because of my body shape. �I have a great big booty and there is no way for my heels and butt to both touch the wall with out being a bit uncomfortable. �But hey, at least I have an awesome ass:D

I do drink a lot of plain water though, we keep lots of it in the house. �I haven't been drinking as much tea as usual since its freaking hot!

As for scent I use powder fresh deodorant because it's all I can find in my price range but I almost never wear perfume and when I do its very light fragrances like Vanilla Fields.
