Hot Body Scrub

I feel most awake on the days that I've done a hot body scrub.

Skin is the largest organ in the body and it is responsible for something like one quarter of the body’s detoxification each day. Not to sound too woo-woo (I've been saying that a lot lately) but we're covered in dead skin cells and scrubbing them away makes me feel waaaaaay less clogged up both physically and emotionally.

It's simple: Take a wash cloth and run it under steaming water. Once it's hot, take it to your legs. Rub in circular motions towards your heart and work your way up till you've scrubbed your whole body. Run the washcloth under the faucet every little bit so that the cloth stays hot. Take a shower when you're done. If you don't they say the skin cells will make you itchy, and that's kinda gross.
