4. 4

   Note:.

5. 5

   -I use an old 125 ml olive oil container with a secure top for traveling. No leaking! For my trip, I needed 2 of these to last me.

6. 6

   - Use extreme caution when exiting from shower or bath tub as your feet might slip.

7. 7

   -I am super sensitive to anything that contains Sodium Laurel Sulphite. This sudsing agent is in anything that "bubbles" (soap, hair shampoo, bubble bath, toothpaste and some foods) This product, in it's commercial form is used to de-grease airplanes. In it's pure form, it will burn the skin. So, when looking for products, check the ingredients and usually SLS is the second ingredient. There are liquid soaps on the market that do not have this ingredient and they are better for sensitive skin. Look in health foods stores or there are a lot of companies that sell this product on line

8. 8

   - Tea Tree Essential Oil has numerous (wonderful) properties for healing troubled skin. I always carry this when I travel for any cuts or scrapes. I would use caution where applying this eso. This could burn very sensitive skin. Dilute it with some olive oil before applying or do a patch test first.

9. 9

   - The No-Seems are tiny bugs that are in the sand. I get multiple bites on my feet and ankles that can take up to 6 weeks to heal. My feet and ankles can swell up to another shoe size. For these nasty critters, I found two homeopathic pills to help with the bug bites. I take these 3 days before I travel. They are Apis Mellifica and Ledum Palustre. (you can find them in health food stores) Afer taking these pills the bugs stay away and I have minimal bites. I highly recommend these and they have become "holiday" savors for me!
