One Last Word

Recently, Husby and I made the 'Snowbird' decision to spend some of the GREAT CANADIAN WINTER (Deliberately capitalized because . . . yikes!) somewhere warm.
We had had an unusually busy November and December and were feeling . . . run down.
The thought of the darkest/coldest part of the winter made us feel tired.
Just that.
Tired.
Thus, the decision to follow the sun.
We wandered about in unusual places, hearing strongly accented English and French in delightfully cadenced tones.
We shopped.
Ate way too much.
And we floated in blue-green Caribbean water.
The two of us returned six weeks later renewed.
This morning I was reading an article about the benefits of salt water.
Natural salt water.
And I quote:
Salt water is said to benefit your skin in the following eleven ways:

• Closes open pores
• Soaks up excess oil
• Balances oil production
• Kills acne-causing bacteria
• Diminishes scars
• Heals scrapes and cuts
• Exfoliates dead skin cells
• Restores skin’s natural pH
• Improves skin barrier function
• Enhances hydration
• Reduces inflammation

I would add one more:
Floating in Natural Salt Water for extend periods of time restores . . . everything.
I highly recommend it.
That is all.

Tolley Beach. So-named because there was literally no one else there!

Happily salt-encrusted Snowbirds.
