My Lush Henna Experience

I am going to start by saying that this was my first time using Henna. I have nothing to compare this experience to, and can also claim that I am far from an expert when it comes to Henna. Based off the information I gathered from the Web and You Tube experiences, I believe the Lush Henna is a much simpler, cleaner process, plus the smell is bearable-actually pleasant in my opinion. If you don't wish to dye your hair jet black, like myself, Lush Henna provides several other coloring options, like brown and red. I created the mixture by pouring boiling water over the blocks, which I placed in a ceramic bowl. I gradually added additional blocks, poured more water, and continued stirring until it took the appearance of a brownie batter texture. I decided to use the entire Henna block since my hair is pretty thick. The portion you choose to use is obviously based on the length and texture of your hair. I slathered it on my entire head while wearing rubber gloves. I then wra...

Rooibos- Healing With Tea

Rooibos (Roy-boos) tea, or African red tea, has been a popular drink amongst South Africans for generations. More recently, it has become a favorite tea across the world and has now made its way into my home. It was suggested to me as a natural remedy for my allergy attacks, brought on by the outdoors. I noticed a huge improvement, and almost instantly. I have also experienced positive changes with my digestive system. Needless to say, I'm a fan! This tea is packed with antioxiodants, has a pretty nice taste, and has very few, if any side effects. The only that I have read about were a possible uspet or nauseated feeling and or loose stool- may occur when you first drink it. However, most people have no side effects. It's caffeine free and can pretty much be consumed all day every day, as it only helps the system inside and out. The more, the better, as your body will love it!! Red tea can works on all parts of the body- healing and preventing illnesses and diseases,...
