Shea Butter Oil Rubdown for
Relaxing…
Moisturize while you heal the mind
Summertime and the living is easy with Shea (cont)
A
few steps to the kitchen, dripping small amounts of water on the carpet as I go. A few more to the microwave where I heat up the solid shea
just long enough to liquefy. Though I want it very warm, I don’t want it so hot as to kill the natural ingredients that I will need to work
its magic on my body, on my skin.
Once my shea is melted, its back to the still steamy
rest-room-turned-spa where I slowly begin to rub down from head to toe, from toe to head, then back again. I pay special attention to the
feet, which yelled at me earlier in the week for not—how did they say it “taking better care”.
Since this is my time and I have all night, I don’t
use the towel to dry off. Instead I let this semi-precious African shea blend in directly with the beads of water shimmering on my skin, skin
so moist and elastic and ready for an evening of nothing but…but…pampering.
If Teddy were here, he would surely be singing, “Rub
me down in some hot oils baby…Show me how…” You know the rest.
But instead, Ms Horn is winding down and belching out
“The man you were meant so much to me…” (Accent on the word “meant”. Ah…relationships.)
Rituals
My weekly shea-skins ritual now concluded; the fantasy break vanished -- though the relaxed thoughts now more empowered to make their way
to the surface of my consciousness. The tenseness in my neck vanished too, having received a heavenly massage in the rub down phase. Tonight
it was the pure unscented shea butter. Next week I will order some scented mango shea to spice it up even more.
Already I am beginning to replay
the bath scene in my mind.
Tomorrow morning I will ready for devotions,
church or whatever…

100% pure shea. For other non medicinal uses, as long as you have at least 15% shea in the products, it should work out
fine.
