A half cup of raw oatmeal
¼ cup of natural white milk
¼ cup of chopped cucumber
2 TS (teaspoon) of organic coriander oil

Mix and blend all the above ingredients into a blender for a minute with medium strength. You can measure it by yourself to continue blend it or stop it until the mixture is smooth and well mixed. Then, pour it out into a clean bowl and apply directly to your face and neck skin from about fifteen to twenty minutes. I usually clean it after a half our if I have many spare time to spend but then it is all up to you guys. After that, you can clean your face.

Fight your acne with Coriander Paste

For you who recently fight acnes and/ or having blemished skin, you can try this at home easily.

1 TS of fresh lemongrass
2 TS of organic coriander oil
1 TS of chamomile
1 cup of cool water

How?

Mix all the paste ingredients above in a clean blender glass (remember that every tool you use in making organic remedies has to be clean), an blend it with high strength until smooth and create a paste form. Apply the paste to your clean skin for about fifteen to twenty minutes. End by cleansing face thorughly with facial cleanser and that is all.

A blend of Rice and Coriander Face Mask

To boost the benefit of Coriander, I usually mix between rice and Coriander. As it has been proven that rice is rich with anti-aging property and the Coriander oil as well.

What do you need?

2 Teaspoon of Fresh Coriander oil
2 Tablespoon of fresh plain yoghurt
2 Tablespoon of cold aloe vera gel
1 Tablespoon of plain milk powder
1 Tablespoon of rice powder
2 Tablespoon of white kaolin clay

How?

First, clean with water all the ingredients before used. Blend well Coriander oil, plain yoghurt, and aloe vera gel using food processor or juice blender until smooth. You just need to mix them all in only 1 minute, but if you think that the mixture is still less smooth, you can blend it again until smooth. Then, mix the mixture with the plain milk powder, white Kaolin klay and rice powder, stir it well with tool.

Last, apply the mask onto your face and let it dry for about fifteen to twenty minutes. You can read, listen to music or anything you like while waiting. Rinse your face after and use face moisturizer. For additional information, white kaolin clay is very good to absorb all the dirt on your face and leave your skin supple like a baby’s skin.

You must know that the origins of the mandarin tree can be traced in China. It was named after the high officials of the former Chinese Empire.

Its pleasant and sweet aroma is helpful in preventing depression and grief. Its properties facilitate it to ease distress and also make it act as a gentle sedative.

What Mandarin Oil can do for you?
Mandarin oil is the solution for several symptoms and problems. The list of its benefits can be little bit overwhelming, but trust me you really want to know all about it. To being with, you can use it as natural cleaner around your house. Just a few drop of oil in some water will clean away all the dirt.

The organic properties of mandarin oil will help in cleaning and disinfecting the items or rooms. It is especially useful for children’s room, where you would not use the products having high percentage of harmful chemicals.
Moreover, it helps in the prevention of stretch marks. You can mix mandarin oil with a carrier oil like safflower oil (check my other blog post, if you want to read about it), sweet almond, or grape seed extract, and rub it on your belly everyday while you are expecting. Checkout the recipe below.

You definitely need some sort of carrier to absorb the oil and then let it mix in the water, this is the reason we used milk. I actually felt very relaxed when I tried it.

Ideal herb for skin care

Back with another essential oil post. You know what? In this generation, we have amazing companies who provide us with great quality oil but there is one oil that is super powerful: “Calendula oil”.

Calendula essential oil is another kind of oil. It has been extracted from the flower.

We have seen the usage of that kind of oil in cooking, but most of the people are scared of using this on their skin. Just because they think it could be harmful. But after medical research and experiments, it has been proved that it will not harm our skin, it even makes it healthier. (YEAH!).

Benefits:

It contains a great amount of moisturizer so it overcomes our dryness of skin, and the problem most of the people have split skin stuff, it resolves that as well without any pain.
It also helps when you are injured. Yes! You can use it on your bruises and swelling. It helps in the reduction of pain and swelling.
If some insect has bit you, then do not worry. Just apply some Calendula essential oil on the affected area and it will heal in no time.

Do you know that Calendula essential oil possesses therapeutic qualities?

Its medical benefits have been explored since centuries. It also has antioxidant properties. As an antioxidant, it protects the body from any damage that can be caused by аn іmmunо-suррrеssіng funсtіоn саllеd oxidants. If you combine it with olive oil, it becomes excellent salve even for serious burns, bruises, and cuts.

DIY Calendula Homemade Lotion

170gm cup Almond or olive oil
85gm calendula oil
85gm beeswax
Optional: 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil

Instructions

Combine ingredients in a pint sized or larger glass jar. I have a mason jar that I keep just for making lotions and lotion bars, or you can even reuse a glass jar from pickles, olives or other foods.
Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and place over medium heat. Put a lid on the jar loosely and place in the pan with the water.
As the water heats, the ingredients in the jar will start to melt. Shake or stir occasionally to incorporate. When all ingredients are completely melted, pour into whatever jar or tin you will use for storage. Small mason jars (8 ounces) are great for this. It will not pump well in a lotion pump!
Use as you would regular lotion. This has a longer shelf life than some homemade lotion recipes since all ingredients are already shelf stable and not water is added. Use within 6 months for best moisturizing benefits.

Although Calendula essential oil is very beneficial, I would recommend to use it carefully.

Ever tried making homemade lotion? How did it go? Tell me in the comments below and thank you so much for your support!

How to Prevent Dry Skin with Organic Macadamia Oil?

29 Comments / Be Inspired, Lifestyle, Natural Beauty, Natural Remedies / By Amanda

Many people suffer from dry skin problems during the winters. The reason behind this is the dryness in the air during this particular season. However, there are lots of other people for whom skin dryness is a continual problem. They are born with this type of skin and the application of cosmetics or soaps on it make the skin still rougher.

Macadamia oil offers beautify benefits for your skin. In addition to its moisturizing benefits, this nutrient-dense oil is packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids that protect your skin and promote healing following sunburn or other types of skin damage. As an added bonus, macadamia oil imitates your skin’s natural oils, making it an ideal match for maintaining your glow.

Although the Macadamia oil is quite thick and feels oily to the touch, it’s quickly absorbed into the skin, and it doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy or oily In addition to fill your skin with moisture, using macadamia nut oil topically firms your skin while maintaining a young shine The sum of palmitoleic acid that naturally occurs in your skin reduce as you age. By using macadamia oil, you repair your skin’s palmitoleic acid levels and reduce your skin’s rate of deterioration while keeping your skin tight and disappointing wrinkle formation.

Natural Anti-aging / Dry Skin Serum

You know by now how I love Jojoba Oil in my daily skin routine, and carrots and avocado when it comes to my homemade mask. Guess what!? Macadamia nut oil contains the highest level of Palmitoleic Acid than any other plant oil (about 24%). Palmitoleic Acid has many anti ageing properties, some of which have even been found to slow the rate at which our skin older.

The secret of Edamame

Healthy, Shiny Hair

Light and non greasy and loaded Macadamia Oil with several vitamins and minerals, it’s a great alternative to refill dry and frizzled hair. It’s quickly and easily absorbed by the hair follicle and your scalp, making a great treatment for dandruff even as ensuring silky smooth shiny hair – root to tip!

Leave it in over night for a strong hair treatment that will improve the overall condition of your hair and encourage your hair growth. Personally, it remains me of Ayurveda powders that also helps strengthen your hair!

Say Good bye to weak Nails

No one likes the look of broken, weak nails and torn cuticles. A small amount of macadamia oil warmed in the microwave, rubbed around the base of the finger nail can soften and moisturize the cuticles, help in preventing damage. This will not only help in improve the condition of the cuticles, but will also result in stronger, healthier nails with regular treatment.

Saturday Relaxation with Dead Salt and Ginger

Some tips : You deserve a massage! But it doesn’t have to cost a wealth…Set up a quiet, peaceful corner with some candles and calm music, add some necessary oils to your macadamia nut oil and treat yourself to an at home aromatherapy massage. Try lavender oil, rosewood or chamomile oil for a calming effect after a long week at work.

***Naughty Treat

Everyone deserves something a little bit appalling from time to time…so after you’ve treated your hair, nails, skin, indulged in the delicious Macadamia oil and Carrot Face Mask and aroma therapy massage, treat your taste flower to some Dark Chocolate coated Macadamia Nuts….everything in control right?! 😉

Beautiful Words.

20 Comments / Be Inspired, Lifestyle / By Amanda

If you are still feeling frazzled after the Summer festivities or if the recent cold weather is getting to you, what could be better than a weekend of pure indulgence?

I suggest to warm up our soul with simple yet beautiful words I stumbled upon a few weeks back.

A beautiful poem written and published by SainstWest.

She brings me to ecstasy

Visually
Ethically

Every time she’s next to me
Physically
Breathlessly

I need her more than air to breathe
Sharing me
There with me

Nothing less than heavenly
Readily
Steadily

——

Wishing you all an amazing and relaxing week end.
