Spring Cleaning:
Not Just For The Home
by Nicole Dreyer

Now that sunnier weather is on the way, (hopefully!) it’s prime time to do some spring cleaning. Sure, you can get out the vacuum cleaner and organize your kitchen cabinets, but why limit yourself to just the house? Visit these Web sites and consider cleansing the body, spirit and soul.

WWW.WOMANHT.COM
Cleanse the body...at home! Learn how to use products from your kitchen for a fun, natural home spa experience. Just make sure you aren’t expecting any guests at your house when you try these recipes. With things like tofu facials, avocado spas and a homemade slim wrap in which you rub a lemongrass blend on your stomach and then wrap yourself in plastic wrap, you’ll look your best after the treatment — not so much during.

WWW.SPIRITUAL-ENDEAVORS.ORG
Cleanse the spirit! Visit the site of this “independent nonprofit educational organization for the advancement of spiritual, holistic and environmental awareness, dedicated to expanding consciousness and awakening self knowledge.” With many links to other sites, this is an easy way to find a variety of spiritual information in one place. My favorite section is Inspirational Stories, a section of feel-good stories you sometimes get e-mailed and don’t always have time to read. Now, you can read them at your leisure and maybe even renew your faith.

WWW.SAFFRONSOUL.COM
Cleanse the soul! Visit the world of holistic healing. This site offers home remedies, music therapy, recipes and information on yoga and massage. Experiment with new foods and improve your lifestyle. Read general articles in the features section or check out those found in the women’s health section. Taking care of your soul is as important as looking after your body. Keep yourself balanced by reflecting on both this spring season.

And if you just can’t resist ... cleanse the home! Check out the site of “The Healthy Housekeeper” a nationally recognized expert on solutions for cleaning your home safely and quickly. Her “Great Tips and Ideas” section has advice on dealing with allergies and asthma and inspecting your home for health. Now is the time to open up the windows and shake off all the dust that’s accumulated over the winter.
