Balance... Walking The Tight Rope

Sometimes life seems to be pulling us from left to right and we often find it hard to stay centered. We feel torn between being in our "current" reality and the one we truly long for. We want only to feel comfortable in our own skin... To not have to go out into a world where we sometimes have to wear mask's in order to make it in a society that wants us to tow the line, look a certain way, speak a certain way, act a certain way, etc...

I know that I, on more than one occasion have struggled with this very feeling. I at times just want to say, "the heck with this job", or whatever the situation may be. But for whatever reason I find it is not the best possible time for me to bow out in that moment.
In these times I often feel anxious, tense and irritable. I find it hard to focus and I become impatient in my own process and with processes of those around me.

But eventually an intuitive feeling starts to stir in more core. It is often accompanied by an actual physical sensation. The muscles that wrap around my waist, abdomen and back that keep my center upright, are listening to that intuitive voice inside. The intuitive and physical are telling me that it is time for me to stop the struggle and listen. They are telling me to take stock of my posture...Pull it together! Am I even breathing properly?

I soften the muscles in my face, pull my head out of my shoulders, close my eyes and take a long deep breath. As I exhale I visualize the tension, the uncertainty and doubt slowly leaving my mind, my body, my being.

I regain my balance and return to my tightrope walk with the nimbleness of a Prima ballerina. I continue along a path that, though may be a little wobbly at the moment will eventually lead me to exactly where I need to be. And in this moment... it is the only reality I need to be in. The reality where I know it all passes, and things are not as bleak as I may sometimes envisioned them. Balance is what was needed. Listening to my higher self, using my mind to decipher the clues and allowing body to follow is what enables me to regain it.

The key to beautiful hydrated skin...

Moisture saving Shea Butter is the main ingredient in Ella Mae's Seventh Child's Hair and Body Butters. But did you know that Shea butter is actually a great sealant? That's why I recommend using Number 7 Essentials Be Well Oil after showering or shampooing but BEFORE Using the Shea Body Butter! Using Shea Butters before moisturizing may make certain skin and hair types more vulnerable to dryness because it's harder for moisture to penetrate it.








My regimen once or twice a week:
*Cleanse
*Exfoliate
*Moisturize
*Seal

After showering exfoliate using a liberal amount of On~Nee Raw Honey Body Scrub to the entire body paying close attention to areas of concern... elbows, knees and heels of the feet. Rinse remaining scrub away under warm water. You will feel the jojoba and essential oils on the skin but this is okay! Most of the oils will penetrate into the skin while you're toweling off.

Apply a small amount of 7 Essentials Be Well Oil while skin is still warm, slightly damp and pores are wider from the steam of your shower, this allows greater absorption. Massage excess into skin.

When needed, use a small amount of Ella Mae's Seventh Child's Body Butter in the palm of your hand. Rub hands together to warm and soften the Shea butter. The heat of your hands also releases the therapeutic aroma and benefits of the essential oils in all three products.
The Shea butter helps to seal in the moisture and beneficial essential oils. You'll love the way your skin looks and feels!

I recommend this regimen once or twice a week before getting into bed. Honestly, you may not always need the Shea butter. The oils in the On~Nee Raw Honey Scrub and the 7 Essentials Be Well Oil may be all that's needed, especially in the warmer months when the skins sebum production is higher.

If you are one of my au`natural diva's and are using the Shea Butter as a hair treatment( My relaxed diva's can use small amounts of Ella Mae's Hair and Body Butters and 7 Essential Oil on your hair too!) I also recommend using the 7 Essential Oil before applying a small amount of Butter to your hair. Again, this seals in moisture and the beneficial essentials oils and a little goes a long way!


Also... A word of caution to those of you with nut allergies... Shea Butter Does come from the Karite Nut! If you are concerned you might have a reaction to any product containing Shea please test a small area of skin before using larger amounts!

As Always... Be You ... Live You... Love You!

Essentials... Constituting or being part of the essence of something; inherent.

Today is a new day! Today is also the official launching of Ella Mae's Seventh Child!... Products that are inspired by all things natural! They are products also inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of my mother Ella Mae Price.

My mother was always using natural recipes she created herself with ingredients gathered from her own kitchen! When I was a child I would watch her as she applied egg and mayonnaise to moisturize her beautiful hair or vinegar as a clarifying rinse. She would use honey and oatmeal to firm and moisturize her skin long before the whole "all natural" craze began! I am a product of that creative self sufficient entrepreneurial spirit.
The need to incorporate nature into all that I do... To deal with the stresses of daily life while striving to stay connected to mother earth flows through my blood...It is who I am!

Ella Mae's Seventh Child are all natural using unrefined butters and oils. If desired, they can also be custom made to fit you and your needs. They are made in small batches to insure quality and consistency. I use blended pure essential oils in all the products, which right now include: Ella Mae's Seventh Child Hair and Body Butters, On~Nee Organic Raw Honey Scrubs, and Number 7 Essentials Be Well Oils.

Essential... Definition: Constituting or being part of the essence of something; inherent.

In my family there are Eleven... I Am Number Seven. A part of the essence of the Whole. We all constitute the essence of the Whole. We are Essential to the Whole! Take one away and we all lack.
Thus the name Ella Mae's Seventh Child.


Be Well~
