Got Blue?
Roman chamomile, blue chamomile, cape chamomile, blue cypress, yarrow.....the list goes on but these are 5 of the sparkling blue essential oils that offer us all kinds of healing potential.
I made a blue blend the other day for a friend who was in pain and it was really effective.
No More Blues
10 drops German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
15 drops Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)
20 drops Cape Chamomile (Eriocephalus punctulatus)
2 oz. aloe vera gel
1 oz. German chamomile hydrosol
1/2 -teaspoon guar gum
Warm the aloe in a double boiler. Once warm (not boiling) sprinkle the guar gum and stir. Add the aloe/guar gum mixture and the rest of the ingredients to a small bowl and use an immersion (stick) blender to blend the essential oils, aloe and hydrosol.
The result will be a slightly thick, cooling, aromatic gel to reduce pain and inflammation.
Alternate Essential Oil Recipe for No More Blues:
10 drops Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
15 drops Blue Cypress (Callitris intratropica)
20 drops Cape Chamomile (Eriocephalus punctulatus)
2 oz. aloe vera gel
1 oz. German chamomile hydrosol
1/2-teaspoon guar gum

Facebook Help Center
This morning I read a short article on Mashable about Facebook's new help center redesign. I use Facbook a lot so I went to take a look. The new design is so much clearer and more user friendly that I actually took a long look around.
There is a well organized section on getting your business page established. If you don't have a business page, this would be a great time to start one!
I also appreciated the section on how to start a group.
The navagation of the new help center is really easy to use and offers all the information you need to support your business on Facebook.
