Refreshment in Refuge
by Gina Burgess
I missed my regular posting this week due to heavy school schedule. I got my research proposal turned in and am able to relax just a bit. Have you ever had that muscle tension, bone crushing kind of pressure that you just could not relax the hair on your head? Well, this recipe I have had for ever and a day should help you to relax, take it easy, and get a good night's rest.
In honor of the Holidays, I dug up this recipe again and am re-posting it. I hope you enjoy :)
