Relax your mouth with the Yoga moment.  It sounds a bit kooky but it WILL release some stress.

Episode #7 includes: "Green" homemade bath salts, Get to know the Neti pot, the Beauty found in a can of vegetarian chili and best of all the elusive Paul of "Paul's picks" gives and interview.

We are all sick here in Snailwell.  The people, the houses and the drains.  I find myself a little jaded with Earth day when I find an environmental nightmare in the middle of our local Earth Day festival.

Enjoy the first half of an intimate interview with Paul of Snailwell Gazette 'zine fame and his equally well known wife Gaynor.

Make your own eco friendly (and cheap!) bath salts by combining 2/3 a container of Epsom salts with 1/3 a container of powdered milk and add the essential oil/s of your choice.  Shake, rattle and roll until well combined.  I suggest trying the lavender/lemon oil combination or the ylang ylang/patchuli combo.  Add to bath under running water and enjoy!

In the Yoga moment the neti pot is explored.  Clear your sinuses and reduce allergy irritants among other things by filling this small pot full of warm salt water (1 tsp neti or pure sea salt/ one liter warm water). Then insert the spout of the pot into your upper nostril with your head turned sideways and tilted forehead down over a sink. Pour the water into your nostril.  It will come gently out your other nostril.  If the water comes into your throat, tilt forehead a little further down.  Close nostril in which the water was poured and blow other nostril into sink.  Repeat other side.  Blow nose well and for Pete's sake clean your sink!

Veggi mama explores the beauty found in a can of vegetarian chili.  Find the recipes on the podcast along with more vegetarian family friendly recipes on www.veggiemamacooks.wordpress.com .

Thanks to the Podsafe Music network.  This week we heard from, Tommy the Silent with Blind, Apryle Dalmacio with On the Other Side, 3 Feet Up with Always is Always, Can't Hate the Hater and Untie your Head.
