It has been a year I have been using Melaleuca’s range of SLS-free products in the hope of seeing some improvements in the condition of my extremely dry skin. And I am glad to say that I have seen remarkable improvement to my skin. My skin does not have the ‘tightness’ and dryness after each bath. And my grossly cracked heels and sole of feet have made a dramatic recovery. The cracked heels and flaky and ‘opened’ skin on the soles of my feet have slowly closed. The key to recovery is to stay away from shampoos and soaps with SLS. And to keep my itchy hands off my heels and feet too! I use Renew Body Wash during shower and Renew Intensive Skin Therapy to moisturize my skin. In addition, I have gotten rid of all shampoos and bar soaps that contain SLS. That’s really good riddance and I am glad I made this decision.

When I have the time, I shall snap some pix of my healed heels and feet and compare them with the pre-Melaleuca feet pictures.

Rascal #2 had tummy ache and lay on the bed.  Rascal #3 ran to her sister and hugged her tummy. I told #3 to massage some T36 C5 Melaleuca tea tree oil on her che che’s tummy. She did and gave her che che a good 5-minute tummy massage.  I don’t think I have the patience to rub her tummy for 5 minutes but Cass did!  Now the pain is gone! They may fight and bicker all the time but they still care for each other very much 🙂

My poor girls woke up with mozzie bites all over their limbs this morning. I saw a few mozzies buzzing and flying around the bedroom. I vowed to kill the predators when I returned from our Sunday outing! And thanks to sol u guard, I killed 3 bloated mozzies today, effortlessly. I just aimed n sprayed and saw the flers stuck to the wall. So happy!! Lol!

The other night, I killed one big cockroach with my life saviour – Sol U Guard! In case you don’t know, I have a terrible phobia of cockroaches. I feel so much ‘safer’ at home now with Sol U Guard 😀

Just one or two sprays and the buzzing predator got stuck to the wall and died instantly!

With this huge cockroach, I think I sprayed about 5 times before the roach turned on its back and I continued spraying like a mad woman just to make sure that it was 100% dead *evil*!

I have really heavy menses ever since I had children.  Before the kids came along, I had PCOS and would only get my menses 3-4 times in a year and even if my AF came, it was very light.  During those pre-children days, I was dying to have regular AF every month coz if that happened, it would be a sign of balanced hormones and planning a pregnancy would be easy. But as fate had it, it was not easy for me…. at all!   Long story cut short, my monthly AF now is very heavy in most months. It is so heavy that even wearing double extra long pads during night time would not contain the AF from seeping out.

The below picture is a common sight every month, on the second day of my AF, first thing in the morning.  This morning was terrible. Though I had lined my bed with another piece of bedsheet, the blood seeped through my boxer pants, the extra bedsheet, the bedsheet and the mattress protector.  When I felt something cold and wet on the bed at 6am, I jumped out of bed. Horror of all horrors!  I quickly washed myself up first.  Then sprayed Pre-Spot from Melaleuca on the blood on my boxer pants, ripped off all the sheets from my mattress and kept spraying Pre-Spot like a lunatic… then sprayed Sol-U-Guard on my mattress, washed the blood away briefly under running tap water and dumped all the stained sheets and clothes in the washing machine.

Half an hour later after the washing machine cycle….. I could not be happier when I checked all the soiled clothing and sheets.  Not a tinge of blood stain was on my new boxer pants and the mattress protector.  So happy!!!

By the way, Pre-Spot is very helpful in removing oil stains, curry stains and black dirt stains from my hubs’ shirts.   He runs a food and beverage business and coming back with stains on his white shirts is very common. Thanks to Pre-Spot, his white shirts are still white!

This is the picture of my badly injured palms, after a trip-and-fall on the road when I was jogging in the morning.  That was one of the worst mishaps that had happened to me, after the stroller accident where Cass and I fell on the road when I was jogging with her in the stroller four years ago. Cass was only 7 months old.

A month later, my palms are 100% healed, thanks to Melagel from Melaleuca!

No one would have believed that just a month ago, the palms had such terrible open wounds. Love my Melagel!

I recently joined Melaleuca as a member.  The main reason why I joined Melaleuca is because I wanted to try Renew Intensive Skin Therapy lotion to rescue my extremely dry skin and horrendously bad cracked heel and feet.   Melaleuca is a company that manufactures and sells products that are safe and natural, free from parabens, SLS (sodium laureth sulfate), and other harmful chemicals that have been proven to cause cancer. Since I now have to do all the household cleaning myself, it is only a wise decision to invest in some household cleaning products that have no harsh chemicals that will harm my health and that of my kids.

Here’s my first batch of Melaleuca products.

After a month of using Renew, I can see vast improvement in my skin, especially on my rough and dry hands and sole of my feet, as well as my heels.  Renew is by far the best skin lotion I have ever tried and it is even safe for children. The proprietary ingredient in Renew is tea tree oil. It is said that tea tree oil is more calming and effective than aloe vera. They claim tea tree oil is nature’s miracle solution to whatever ails you. The consistency of Renew Lotion is not very thick, yet powerful!  It goes on nice and smooth after you’ve rubbed it on your skin. You skin does feel softer and moisturized after you put it on.

I am pretty confident that my cracked heel and sole of feet will be treated if I continue to apply Renew and provided my itchy hands stay off my heels and stop peeling the dry skin LOL!
