Panda and I share the same color hair. Unfortunately it also came with the same scalp problem. Oily -sometimes itchy scalp and dry hair ends. Frog and Lil' Man have that light blond-brown hair and all 3 have a small spot of eczema behind the ears with lil' man having patches on his cheeks.
Since I have begun rinsing Panda and my hair with a Rosemary tea, I have seen drastic results with her eczema and my dry ends. Split ends were horrible- a week after snipping off they were back. Rosemary will darken hair over time (even grey gets covered). Being 33 and already noticing a few, I like the idea of natural hair color and even better -healthy hair.
This is our hair rinse recipe and the rosemary which I buy in bulk (3.25 ounces) at the Flower Factory for under $2! We also steam our faces with the reusing of the rosemary after the first batch for the hair rinse.
1/3to 1/2 cup dried rosemary in a 4 cups water to boil- let steep 20 minutes, drain through filter into jar and reuse the rosemary for another batch of the infusion to add to the jar or split amongst jars.
Be sure to rinse out the tub or sink you use this in. It will leave spots but will come off with a light wiping.
Most children and adults enjoy oranges. (I rarely do). But the Navel oranges are a favorite snack for my girls. We now use a cheese grater to save the orange peel for body care. We use it in sea salt body scrubs, face masks, etc. And while drying makes the kitchen smell so nice. The white ramekin contains grated peel from 1 navel orange. The jar has peel from 4. When dried it drastically shrinks, but you do not need much. Just a small teaspoon amount . And be sure to wash off your oranges before grating. Set out to dry on the fridge top for a few days then place into jar with lid for later use.
My compost gets the pith and inner rinds. I will be using a muslin cloth to dab the infusion on Frog's and Lil' man's skin spots. I hope it helps like it did for Panda.
Beautiful temperatures but sloppy ground make slippery stepping outside this morning.
Second batch of sap from our maple trees has been collected in just 4 days. I have 4 buckets collecting it from 2 trees. This red bucket one gives out the most sap in a small time frame.
After filling up the enameled canner pot, it boils down to maybe 1 1/2 to 2 cups of Maple syrup. Another first for us and it will become a pre~Spring ritual from now on.
Somebody is jealous of the new babies "mommy" brought home...
Grizzle is constantly after our attention when the chicks are out. The girls are watching the new"Kit Kitteridge" movie and Grizzle who enjoys on occasion some T.V was upset this was as close as she could get to cuddle with the girls while they had a few chicks out. See those sad eyes? Poor thing acts like no one pays her attention- ever.. Personally I think it may have something to do with how she cannot mother hen them with umm... bottom cleanings like the last batch. She is good at gently nudging them back to where I put them on the floor after washing a few pasty bottoms. Good Girl!
I have a new dog bed in the works for Grizzle, some more homemade goodness for the body to be made and of course good eats to whip up all before heading back to bed tonight...
Got a full day but I will end it with...
Sweet Dreams,
