TEMAZCAL

MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A TEMAZCAL IS. IN MEXICO, THIS TRADITION AGED BACK TO THE TIME BEFORE THE SPANIARDS ARRIVED. IT WAS A RITUAL PERFORMED BY THE HIGH PRIESTS, THE WARRIORS, THE CHIEFS AND PREGNANT WOMEN. THESE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO COULD ENTER A TEMAZCAL AND ENJOY A VAPOUR BATH WITH NATURAL HERBS AND MUSIC. MEDITATION ALSO OCCURED DURING THIS PROCESS AND WHEN THE CELEBRANTS LEFT THE STRUCTURE WHICH WAS BUILT LIKE AN IGLOO OF SOME SORT, IT WAS TO A RE BORN LIFE. AS IF THEY HAD BEEN IN THE WOMB OF A WOMAN. THUS, THE MAYAS BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING VERY GOOD. TODAY WE ARE TOLD THERE ARE MANY HEALTH BENEFITS TO TAKING A TEMAZCAL.

SO WHERE CAN YOU TAKE ONE IF YOU ARE IN BELIZE? COME ON DOWN TO COROZAL AND ASK FOR PREHISPANIC COROZAL. OUR SPA HAS THE ONLY TEMAZCAL IN THE DISTRICT AND WE ARE RIGHT ON THE BAY JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE MEMORIAL PARK OFF MIAMI BEACH ROAD. ITS AN EXPERIENCE YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS.

WE WELCOME YOU!!

If your fingers and nails are stained from nicotine or dark nail polish, use a toothbrush and whitening toothpaste to scrub the stains away.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Taking Care of Longer Hair

If you're trying to grow your hair out, start using a wide-toothed comb on your hair while it's wet. Using brushes as your hair gets longer can lead to frizz and split ends.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Stylish Eyeshadow

Even if you're just doing simple makeup, ideally you should use three shades of eyeshadow. Use the darkest color on the lid, the lightest just below the brow bone, and fill the rest with the medium shade.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Filing Your Nails

Whether you're going for an in-home manicure or just want to clean up your nails, make sure you file correctly. Don't file your nails back and forth, as you may be accustomed to doing -- instead, file from side to side, in one direction. Also, make sure your nails are shaped into oval tips.
