Lemon Balm, Fresh Herb to Try



I use this fresh green herb in cleaning and beauty products.  It's packed with antioxidant properties that can relieve everything from a head cold to indigestion.  This green herb has a beautiful subtle fragrance that can be served in a beverage, mixed into a food dish, and of course brewed for an herbal tea. 

For the home; try tossing a few leaves in the toilet, or creating a combo of other flowers and herbs for potpourri or bath sachets to add a zing of freshness to the bathroom. 

This herb can also be mixed into a shampoo or conditioner, facial cleanser, or body spray.  Another option is to just toss a few sprigs into the bath water for an herbal body cleanse.

Consider growing your own lemon balm in your outdoor (or indoor) garden), or purchase dry lemon balm from the store.  It's reasonably priced, so it will be well worth the little money with all of the uses you will find.

Self Care- Make it a Habit

Self care habits in progress. I feel so good when I take time out to treat myself. It pleases me  even more when the practice is inexpensive. Polishing my nails, at-home facial, or sometimes a lengthy shower or bath.  It's extremely important to make time for yourself. I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling  overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care.  Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html
