My grandmother's chicken soup - her own recipe - just carrot, celery, onion, chicken, garlic, parsley and plenty of black pepper. This soup definately makes me sweat!
My Lavender pillow - I put in microwave for about a mintue and wrap around my shoulder. The heat feels so good and it relaxes my shoulder, mind and of course it made me feel sleepy.
