Tomatoes From the Table to the Spa-Create Your Own Gardener’s Spa
By Mindy McIntosh-Shetter
This time every year I am up to my gardening elbows with all that goes into managing a garden.
This includes mulching, weeding, planting, picking, and my favorite and not so favorite chore that is canning.
All this work on top of the many hats I already where can leave me feeling and looking like a 350-year-old gnome with bad hair.
What is a gardener/canner to do? The garden cannot wait when the vegetables are in their prime for me to take a mental health day. The solution to my problem is a trip to my own gardener’s spa created from my own tomato garden.
The following recipes are a start to any homemade spa treatment. Tomatoes in general are used to treat oily skin to normal skin and as a skin lightener. So prop up your feet, read a good book, have a nice treat and enjoy one of these spa treatments using tomatoes.
