On today’s Global Good Soul Vibration Podcast let’s make a facial mask with a banana. This facial recipe is refreshing and so wonderfully relaxing. You can make facials at home with ease with all sorts of ingredients that you have around the home. This fabulous recipe reflects a wealth of age-old wisdom, and will leave any type of skin feeling refreshed and pampered. There’s just nothing like giving yourself this easy-to-make facial using ingredients that are likely to be in your kitchen year-round. The ingredients will nourish, soothe, and gently exfoliate your skin. And they sound good enough to eat! A simple mix of ingredients go as follows:

1 banana, just ripe
1 tablespoon honey
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon wheat germ oil
1 tablespoon finely powdered oats
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, if mask will not be used immediately)
1 drop each rose and melissa essential oils (optional)
1. Peel and mash banana. Add honey, egg yolk, wheat germ oil, oats, and lemon juice, if used, and mash further to form a smooth, creamy paste.
2. If mask is too thick, add a bit of distilled water, and stir until smooth.
3. Add essential oils last, and stir to mix well.
4. To use, apply to clean face and neck, avoiding eye and mouth areas. Rest for 10 minutes, or longer if your skin is very dry. Rinse with warm water, and follow with toner and moisturizer, if desired. Use mask within a few hours of making.

Happy Guru 015 - Sunburn

Getting a bad dose of summer sun can be more than painful. It’s also deadly. Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world and, on a national scale, more melanomas are reported in Queensland than anywhere else. Such a high rate of skin cancer in Australia may be attributable to a number of things: attitude, geological circumstance and Australian’s love of the outdoors. There are three main types of the skin cancer. Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC) are the most common type of skin cancer. They usually take months, even years to develop and, unlike melanomas, are less likely to affect other organs and, in turn, result in death. The Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the second most predominant type of skin cancer. They are readily treatable. The last and most dangerous of skin cancers, also the least common, is the malignant melanoma. These occur as moles or sunspots and will grow in size. The melanoma is a mutation of healthy cells in the skin and the deeper they sit in the epidermis (upper layers of skin), the harder they are to treat. In today’s show we look at easing the pain of sunburn and remind you (as a bare minimum) to wear a hat and good sunscreen protection. This podcast was proudly brought to you by www.happyguru.com.

Combating Fleas on your furry friend can be a nightmare. I have tried so many different flea treatments for my dog and they all seem to be as lame as the last attempt. On today’s show I’d like to share a remedy that seems to work a treat and the best part of all is that you can make it at home yourself from essential oils. So, not only does this treatment work an absolute treat, but it comes at a fraction of the cost of those commercial applications and it’s also an organic alternative to pharmaceutical products.

Merriam-Webster’s Word Of The Year 2007

January 2nd, 2008

Thousands of you took part in the search for Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2007, and the vast majority of you chose a small word that packs a pretty big punch. The word you’ve selected hasn’t found its way into a regular Merriam-Webster dictionary yet—but its inclusion in our online Open Dictionary, along with the top honors it’s now been awarded—might just improve its chances. This year’s winning word first became popular in competitive online gaming forums as part of what is known as l33t (”leet,” or “elite”) speak—an esoteric computer hacker language in which numbers and symbols are put together to look like letters. Although the double “o” in the word is usually represented by double zeroes, the exclamation is also known to be an acronym for “we owned the other team”—again stemming from the gaming community.

Merriam-Webster’s #1 Word of the Year for 2007 based on votes from visitors to our Web site:

w00t (interjection)
expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word “yay”
w00t! I won the contest!
