Steam Room Benefits

I hope that everyone is having a Marvelous Monday!

Since I have completed P90X (results will be posted soon), I decided to switch it up a bit and head to the gym for a month. I have had my membership to my local gym for about 2 years now and I have never used the steam room. Well I decided that I would give it a try. I have been doing 15 minute sessions after my workouts. The benefits are wonderful and I will continue to keep this as part of my workout regimen. My skin looks healthier and really clear! Also, my scalp and hair have been reaping the benefits of the steam room as well.

After leaving the steam room I go straight to the sink and do a facial scrub with St. Ives Apricot scrub. Then I rinse with cool water to close my pores. All I can say is Wow! I work out at the gym four days a week, but I do the scrub no more than three out of the four days I am there.

While I am in the steam room, I do scalp massages as well as face massages. After leaving the steam room I do facial scrubs, as stated before, and I also close the cuticles of my hair with cool water. To do this I just run cool water in the palms of my hands and rub it down the hair shaft until I feel as though I have completed my entire head of hair. I plan on incorporating deep conditioning treatments for my hair while in the steam room in the near future.

If you haven't given your local steam room a try, I suggest that you do so. I really like the results of the steam room all the way around.

That's all for now.

Take care!

Today's Word with Joel and Victoria

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share an encouraging word from Joel and Victoria with you all. Have a wonderful day!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
…the Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters…"
(2 Samuel 5:20, AMP)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
God wants to give you a breakthrough—a sudden burst of His favor; an explosion of His goodness. He wants to release His power in such a way that it overwhelms you and drives out your enemies!

Maybe you've been praying about a relationship for years, and suddenly, things get into place. That's a breakthrough. Or you were trying to get a certain job. They said there were no openings; but suddenly, they call you back and you get the job. That's another breakthrough. Perhaps you've struggled with an addiction for a long time, but then something happens and it's not a struggle anymore. Those are all breakthroughs.

No matter what you've been facing, no matter how impossible things look, know this: the God of the breakthrough wants to visit your house. Get ready! Look for His favor and goodness. Remember, God rewards the people who seek after Him. So keep expecting, keep believing because the God of the breakthrough is ready to overwhelm you with His goodness today!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, today I am expecting Your goodness. I am looking for Your favor. I'm trusting that You, the God of the breakthrough, are working mightily on my behalf. Help me to live a life pleasing to You as I wait for Your hand to move mightily in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
