No Walkens

I took this week off. I wanted to get the painting I'm working on done. It's sitting here...facing the wall. My husband put it there. He said, "That's it you're starting something new." I just want to get the 1 painting done. I'm thinking he either does want me to get another painting going, or he thinks the painting I was working on sucks, and he wants me to move on. I was getting a little grumpy when I painted in a flower that didn't look right, and had to paint over it. Such is life.

Another thing on the list to get done this week was to use up my massage gift card that my husband got me for my birthday. It's just sitting there. To be honest I think it's creepy having a stranger touch all over me. Am I the only one that thinks that? I feel like I am.

He gave me a gift card to World Market, and I used that up the same weekend I got it. I actually got more than what was on the card. I love that store!

Part of me wants to regift the massage gift card. My husband's birthday is in August. He needed a huge cart to put tools in. I said, "Buy it! It's your birthday gift." I feel like saying, Since you don't really have a gift on your birthday use this...the massage card. His back hurts all the time. Mine on the other hand rarely does. When I get a massage from him it could be a 5 minute one, and I'd be happy. Longer than that I'm thinking, that's enough.

I don't mind when someone touches me. Like a pat on the back, or the shake of a hand. I just don't like long rub downs. I tried it years ago when he gave me another card. I went, got the full treatment, and left feeling like I was in a dream state. I couldn't tell if it was a yes that felt wonderful, or that was creepy, and I need to go to sleep now.

Do you like massages? Am I the only one that finds them to be creepy? 

NatraCure Arthritis Mittens Review

I recently got NatraCure Arthritis Mittens by Poly Gel to review. 

NatraCure Mitts provide relief from arthritis pain and discomfort. I use my hands so much that sometimes I need some relief. I'm on the computer a lot, crafting, painting, or doing dishes. This deep penetrating action of moist heat therapy helps. 

Cost: $19.99

The gloves are put into the microwave on both sides to heat up. You can see the starburst change from a blue to a red to show that it goes from cool to hot. 

1/2 way ready

All the way ready

I like the way that they feel! They have a gel, but also small beans (like you'd feel in a bead bag chair) inside it. This clinically proven system combines traditional heat with the state-of-the-art science of our proprietary SmartGel® Technology.

Essential Oils:

• Avocado Oil can help act as a natural anti-inflammatory.

• Soybean Oil - can help promote general bone health and act as anti-inflammatory.

• Grape Seed Oil - can help dilate blood vessels to increase circulation and reduce pain.

• Jojoba Oil - can help quickly penetrate to deliver healing properties of its partner oils.

• Mineral Oil - can help improve mobility and relieve stiffness of painful, aching joints. 

• Canola Oil - can help act as a natural anti-inflammatory with Omega-3s.

• Olive Oil - can help act as a natural pain killer with its oleocanthal compound.

It felt like my hand was getting a massage. They help improve grip, strength, and dexterity.

I do feel a little like the velcro could be stronger. It seems like the velcro could fall off already. 

Results:

• After 5-10 minutes: Increases blood circulation for pain relief, soothes stiff joints, calms muscle spasms, improves range of motion, & reduces inflammation.

• After 30 days: With regular use, stronger, more energized hands, improved dexterity, & further reduction of pain and discomfort.

This is not messy, so there is no clean up!

It is a great product for anyone that uses their hands a lot like I do. I give it a thumbs up!

 

 

If you have feet problems Poly Gel makes slippers to! I have major feet problems, and would love to try them out.

Foot or Back Massage?

Grandpa Spiehs offers to give foot massage's with lotion.

We had a circle time last week, which is time where we sit in together just to talk. We gave each other foot massage's. I bought Daddy a professional massage cream awhile back. It is the best! The boy's thought it was funny to give each other a foot massage.




Isaak said last night, "Mommy can you give my feet a back massage?" I had to laugh.
