Before buying a wooden porch swing, it’s important to make sure that the swing you are buying meets a number of important criteria. Here is a list of what you should look for in a swing, along with some reasons why it’s critical.
Hand Made - A hand made swing is certainly a must when buying a porch swing. This is because each piece is individually crafted, ensuring better cuts and a smoother finish.
Cypress - Cypress has been called the “eternal wood” because of its ability to stand up to the elements. A cypress swing is as durable as teak, while being as little as one-tenth the price! Don’t buy a swing made from exotic woods only to watch it rot on your porch.
Size - Be sure that the porch swing you choose is the correct size to fit on your porch, and to fit the number of people you expect to be swinging on it.
Accessories - Would you like your swing to have a cup holder? An interesting question, perhaps, but certainly something to think about. What will you want with you while on your porch swing? Keep that in mind when looking at what’s available.
The Porch Swings I Love Most
Of course, I have a very strong preference in porch swings. There is one particular artisan who builds beautiful, durable porch swings from Cypress. His name is Ted Leger (pronounced Lay-shay), and he’s based in Louisiana (where a lot of cypress trees grow). All of his swings are hand made, and he can ship anywhere in the USA.
I strongly recommend you view the variety of wooden porch swings he has available.

Now that I use natural bath products I find myself researching the origin or history for the different essential oils used in soap making. I learned about one of my favorite scents; lavender. The Lavender Comfrey Soap that I use is made from Bulgarian lavender which is known world wide for its healing benefits as well as its clean, sweet floral fragrance. Lavender essential oil is known to be a analgesic, antidepressant, antiseptic, and antiviral as well as a bactericide, decongestant, deodorant, and fungicide. Lavender has been used for centuries for healing the likes of acne, athlete foot, indigestion, migraine relief, healing burns and insect bites. stiff joints and sore muscles, sunburns and more. It has also been used as a disinfectant and insect repellent.
A great pleasure for me is to soak in a bath with all natural Lavender scented Bath Salts
The Goat Milk Soaps that I use is handmade with 50% olive oil and fresh pasteurized goats milk. The best thing about this soap is that it is naturally moisturizing and gentle to your skin.
It has been said that Cleopatra use to bathe in milk. I am sure that there are many woman who followed Cleopatra using milk in her bath as well as some men although they might not admit to take milk baths. Milk contains a natural presence of lactic acid as well as alphy hydroxy that are known for softening and removing dead skin cells.
By far the most interesting findings were the essential oil used in Tea Tree Soap. The mystique of this oil can be traced back to folklore of the Bunjalung Aboriginal tribe. Elder tribesmen told travelers of miraculous lagoons with healing waters that were thought to be a gift from their god. Scientific study revealed that the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia (commonly known as Tea Tree) had fallen into the water to create a naturally antiseptic bath. Tea Tree Soap makes a great medicinal soap for cuts and scrapes as well as a multi-purpose antibacterial and facial soap for every day use.
My son uses Tea Tree Soap and it appears to have calmed the flare ups.

The name medical spa suggests that a medical professional is always on staff; however this is not always true. In fact, it is becoming more and more evident that the medical spa field is lead more by Clinical Estheticians than medical practitioners.
The medical spa is the home to the well-educated clinical estheticians who can treat and care for the skin, as well as battle the effects of aging and sun damage with a wide selection of available non-invasive procedures. Although it is useful to have a medical practitioner available on staff to perform minimally invasive procedures such as injectable fillers like Botox, collagen and restyling, this usually can be supplemented with an accommodating mutual relationship with a nearby physician. Though there are clients who desire more invasive procedures, the exceptional results that can be achieved with non-invasive alternatives from a Clinical Esthetician are nothing less than extraordinary.
Although it may make you feel less anxious and more at ease knowing that a medical professional is in office while you are receiving your non-invasive skin treatments, you can rest assure that a reputable licensed Clinical Estheticians has received the utmost training required by the state that they are licensed in. Hours and hours of thorough training and tests have been completed before receiving certification. So lay back and relax knowing that you are in the hands of a caring professional that will make you look outwardly how beautiful you feel inwardly.
