Am learning to make my own body scrubs, facials and take care of myself in the best way I can. A trip to Nerfertari this evening earned me a bottle of an Amazing essential with lavender scents. Am going to get myself a massive container of a body scrub. I will share with you my recipe, its originally from Bianca,
Lavender & Olive oil body scrub: Sugar grains ( rough ones are best for a good scrub), A tint of lavender essential oils ( You can use pure, dried lavender plant- gives the scrub a good scent), Olive oil (enough to keep the solution together) some honey to keep grains together.
I have been using this body scrub for the past two months and I can vouch for it; that it is worth it. It cleans the skin leaving it moist and in no need for lotion and lasts at least two days if you shower using only water and no soap.
As this year ends, Am reminded of the great things in life, Family, I have not seen my family this christmas but I love them, I have talked to them several times a week and am grateful for the love we share. I am reminded of friends, friends who are caring and those that careless- am learning that I am all these things. I Am thankful for a wonderful year, a year in which I have learned to love and let go, a year in which I have learned to give and take ( still learning to take) for it is only when I can that I can honestly love deeply. Am grateful for the opportunities I have had this year, to see more of the world, to get to know new people and to study as hard as I could. I am thankful for the resources that have come my way and for the support and comfort I have received.
Christmas was great, I decorated a tree all by myself, Meghan and I went Christmas shopping all at Attaba, on Jewish Street- that was fun! had a christmas dinner with friends and exchanged presents. Am thankful for friends yet I missed my family deeply.
As this year comes to an end, I am hopeful for an even better year ahead!
