Make your own stress reliefs

Again sorry people i was so busy the last two weeks. Work was hectic (super good sign) Plus i'm keeping busy with my cousin's wedding and at last but not least, i finally did it! Yes i started to sell my jewellery to other people than my friends and family. See before nobody knew because i was pretty happy in my comfort zone, not taking the risk to be criticized or feel the pressure of having to impress or please people then someone made me remember that i actually like risks. I like to get out of my comfort zone. I always felt that people would think that i'm just trying to monopolize attention; ' She was a model, then an actress then a this, then a that and now she is creating jewellery' I got the feedback that a lot of people actually think that but at the end of the day, who cares?? If i'm enjoying doing that and if i get the chance to make one or two people happy then cool! It was good remembering that so the last two weeks after 9 hours work i went back home and worked on my jewellery and i stock them at Piment Boutique at belle-Rose. I'm pretty proud of myself, they look quite cute on their little display. So yeah, pop by when you have time.

So during these two weeks i thought, the next theme has got to be on stress remedies. Then while doing my little jewellery i had time to ponder on this word; STRESS! it's actually quite a STRESSFUL word when you think of it! See before people were sad, anxious, nervous, busy, under pressure, depressed now they are just STRESSED! Words are only spoken by mankind and there is a reason for us having the right to use this powerful tool so why are we using it so carelessly! The moment someone says ''I am stressed' It gives them a good excuse for acting like an ass!
I think the best remedy is to use the proper word in the appropriate situation. Instead of saying '' I'm sorry for shouting at you, i am pretty stressed'' how about changing it to ''i am a bit under pressure'' or i am a bit tired or sad or whatever. I think the words stressed would be a stigmata, or self inflicted sado mazo phenomenon. Like instead of saying i am tired you would use Stressed meaning that it can be anything in the following recorded symptoms :
Physical Symptoms
- Changes in sleep patterns
-Fatigue
- Changes in digestion -Nausea, vomitting, diarrhea
-Loss of sexual Drive
-Palpitation/Missing heartbeats
-Breathlessness
-Dizziness, sweating and trembling

Mental lapses
Lack of concentration
-Memory laspses
-Difficulty in taking decisions
-Confusion
-Panic attacks
-Disorientation

Behavioral symptoms
- Appetite changes
-eating disorders
-increased smoking
-hypochondria
- nail-biting
- fidgeting
-Restlessness

Emotional symptoms
-Bouts of depression
-Impatience or irritability
- Fits of rage
-Tearfulness
-Deterioration in personal hygiene and appearance

Are you with me? Do you get what i'm trying to say? What i mean is that the Monster invading our world, Mr Stress, must have been invented by a very lazy doctor who found it easier to categorize anything and every thing under one single topic that would give therapist a lot of money! Like when you go to a Doctor and say i have this and that they would put their pen in their mouth, look into the emptiness for a while, scribble something that only pharmacist understand and then look at you with wise small eyes and say ''YOU ARE STRESSED'' kiching kiching Rs500 thanks for your visit babye!
Ok I am probably a bit mean here... One should not say mean things about Doctors because they studied a lot and save a lot of lives. Plus they've got big houses and big cars!

What i mean is that, if we change our words a bit and pretend for a second that the word Stress does not exist, don't you think that already makes you feel a lot better. Instead of saying i am stressed just say i am sad, i have a lot of work, i am nervous about my exams. Don't you think that the fact of saying the word ''sad'' gives you a clue that what you need is something that can make you happy. If you say that you have a lot of work makes you realize that you should take shorter lunch breaks or avoid photocopy break gossips and concentrate on moving on with your work. If you say ''i am stressed'' It could be anything and everything so how would you know how to make it better and most importantly how would your surrounding know how to help you! If you say to your colleague i'm stressed she would just piss off maybe but what if you told her '' i've got a lot of work'' Maybe she will offer you to get lunch for you and bring it to you at the office or make a nice cup of tea for you while she is at it because she knows that you don't have time to go to the mess room and do it yourself. See what i mean? One can't help you if you are not precise and stress is sooooooooooo vague!

Did that help? I hope it did because it would be the ideal remedy but if it didn't here are some other remedies

I cannot give remedies for stress relief because it depends on your case. Instead i'm gonna give you remedies for some other real emotion that society has decided to ignore and give a vulgar name. And yes, stress is not an emotion! In simple biological words, stress is the state of increased arousal necessary for organism to defend itself when faced with danger. It is just the automatic fight-or-flight response in the body activated by adrenaline or other hormones. Ok enough brain wash, solutions now.

Panic attacks
Prepare a blend that you will keep in your handbag and inhale when you have a panic attack. I use it with my dog on new years eve as well, poor thing is stressed by firework sorry what i meant is ''poor thing is scared of fireworks''

You will need
3 drops of Lavender
1 drop of True melissa (ha that's the name of my cousin who is getting married)
2 drops of rose Otto

Blend them all together and put in a dark glass bottle, open and inhale whenever you feel a panic attack. Like shit deadline to submit this project in 2 hours and i havent started yet? Breath the mixture, tell everyone else at the office to shut the fuck up and let you do your work and work hard on it! (P.S i swear a lot but never tell your colleague or your boss to shut the fuck-up ok, pff that's rude)

Anxiety
If you are anxious about something it's a good sign, it means you are alive so relax and take a step back to think of the options. I was stressed Anxious when i was asked to make those jewellery for that shop coz there was money to be invested and all kind of other things but hey, if i don't sow i won't reap! So I prepared this blend for my little workshop and put it in a burner while i worked on my jewelery. You can also inhale it if it's more simple. Just put a drop of the blend on an handkerchief and take a few breaths in an out.

2 drops of May chang
3 drops of Petitgrain
1 drop of ylang ylang.

Blend them together and store in a dark glass bottle.

When you feel under pressure
Since the 8th of January i am Stressed i feel under pressure because My cousin asked me to do the speech at her wedding. I will probably use a glass of champagne or a few tequilas to calm myself down before THE moment but here is a healthier alternative
How about creating your own perfume? that can be fun! all you need is:

15 ml of Vodka
1 drop of fennel
3 drops of Geranium
2 drops of Grapefruit

mix them all together and put in a vaporizer. Here we go madame, you've got your own perfume made by you!

So how's that my darlings? Helpful? Fun? yes? no?

We'll continue with more emotions next week... We'll check-in about depression, insomnia, loss of sexual drive, bitchiness, well everything to help you feel good about life. And remember '' You have the power to attract people by being in the spiritual state of cheerfulness'' So go on smile in the inside. sing a joyful song in your head, whistle, dance and sing when you are in the traffic jam ( not when you are driving because i learn the hard way that mimicking the song it's all so quiete by Bjork is considered as Dangerous driving :-S

Just a quick sorry sorry sorry

Sorry guys havent posted last week and cant again this week...
Sooooo Fooking busy! I've been working like there is no tomorrow and been busy with a personal project after work as well....
Hopefully i'll come up with something next week
again so sooooory

Make your own Dog Biscuits

Last month was pretty sad... Panda the dog of my best friend passed and Mia, the girlfriend of Mr Parker passed as well. So this post is for them. I hope that they are both resting in peace.
Hey don't laugh ok. It's sad!

This will be a short post. Not that there are no Natural remedies for dogs but to be honest i am not sure about them. Mr Parker never gave me a positive feedback on my little experiments. But he loved the biskits. He calls it wafwaf :-)

Healthy rewards
This is a recipe from Laurel Vukovic, i have adapted it slightly to match the ingredients we have here

for lovely healthy biscuits you will need
260g whole wheat flour
110g cornmeal (Polenta)
100g sesame seed
3 eggs
60ml milk
125 chicken stock ( organic cubes will do)
2 Table spoon of Olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic

Mix the flour, cornmeal and sesame seeds in a a large bowl. Beat two eggs with the milk and add the chicken stock, olive oil and garlic. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well into a firm dough. Leave for 15 minutes.

Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll out the dough (like a pizza) and cut it into whatever shaped you like. Mr Parker likes hearts. ( i know he is probably gay) Beat the last egg and brush the biscuit with the egg.

Place the biscuits on to a lightly greased biscuit sheet and bake them in a 180C oven for 30 minutes. They are ready when they turn to a golden color. Remove the biscuit from the baking sheet and then leave to cool.

Watch their tail swing with delirious happiness when they smell it :-)

Did you know that Plain yogurt are super good for their digestion? Yes! Did you know that garlic can help fight parasites?

Massage
They love it. Warm your hands and massage their neck, their back and pay special attention to their ears. Roll your fingers softly on their ears. Mr Parker sleeps every time i give him a massage. They NEED love. They understand energy better than you think.


That's it for today... Do you want to suggest the theme for next week?

This is Mr Parker Philips, Isn't it the cutest dog ever... See how he smiles for the camera...

Make your own hair products part 2

Dude, i am like the dummy of dummies! I was so sad coz i noticed that no one viewed my ''make your own hair products part 2'' last week. Well i guess what could have helped is to post it!!!!!!!!! Only a few days ago, i noticed that i forgot to press on that lovely ''publish'' button! Can you get any more silly?
And because i am a boring girl and like to keep a certain routine, which is post every Tuesday morning at 08:30 am just after my 50th cup of tea i thought i'd keep it for today!
So here it is. Enjoy!

Avocado mask
What dry hair absolutely luuurve is a good old Avocado mask. Mash the Avocado with one egg yolk and a teaspoon of honey (you'll love the color... not!) Apply this mask on dry hair before your shampoo. Put a shower cap on your head (avoid the towel man, the paste looks like baby poo) Put some music on, do a little scrub or something while the mask rest for 15 mins. Then shampoo and apply conditioner as usual.

fooking dry hair rescue
Now if you have really, like really dry and dehydrated hair, try that one.
blend 25 drops of rosemary essential oil into 5 cl of olive oil and leave in for one hour. Then shampoo and apply conditioner as usual.
Now if you have really dry hair it's probably down to the type of products you use so be sure to apply the right product for your type of hair. If you use hair straighteners, please, for the love of God, use a thermal protector. The GHD one is perfect! Can't wait to have GHD on the Mauritian Market again!
Did i tell you the story of the biatch who stole my GHD? OK OK OK i know you had enough of that story!

Hair loss
Do you also notice hair loss when it gets warm? Or is it just me? Mr Parker (My Dog) and i have the same pattern for our hair loss. Strange! Shit it hurts to call Mr Parker a Dog! He is not a dog, he is a little lovely cudly doobly bubbly coolllyyy doodoodoodoo baba!
Okay so
To promote hair growth and keep the hair follicles healthy, you will prepare a little magic potion with the following ingredients:
1 teaspoon of jojoba oil
15 drops of Rosemary essential oil
10 drops of Cedarwood essential oil
60ml of aloe vera gel.

Combine the jojoba oil with the rosemary and cedarwood essential oils. Mix the aloe vera gel and blend. Store it in a dark bottle. each night before going to bed massage one tablespoon of the mixture into your scalp.
You might have to bare a few odd looks because of the manly smell but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!

Also, prepare this shampoo
for 250 ml of shampoo you will need. Well obviously 250 ml of shampoo! But get a neutral one like the Organic care one. You'll find it easily everywhere now. And you will need the following essential oils
30 drops of Rosemary essential oil
10 drops of Thyme essential oil
10 drops of Lavender essential oil

Blend the essential oil in the shampoo. This is your shampoo ladies and gentlemen! Massage is very important for circulation and hair growth so spend some time massaging your scalp when doing your shampoo. Close your eyes let the water massage your neck while massaging your scalp, imagine you are in Tahiti or i dunno, some other super sexy island with people riding horses at sunset on the beach. Ahem! So yeah spend some time massaging your scalp, let the mixture sit for three minutes, then rinse thoroughly. If you use a conditioner, remember, only the lengths, do not apply conditioner on the scalp! or as my old hairdresser would say, on the ''coco latete''


oily hair
Simple as abc. Just juice 2 lemons and mix to 1 liter of water and use this as final rinse after your shampoo and conditioner! Easy innit? want something more fun to prepare?
prepare your own shampoo with this:
take 1 table spoon of Green clay (pharmacies)
add a pinch of Salt (your kitchen)
Mix with some water until you get a creamy paste.
Apply to your hair and scalp. Massage for 3 minutes. ( gently you don't want to over stimulate the sebum production, it would be shooting yourself in the foot)
let it set for 15 mins and rinse with water only. For extra goodness you can add a few drops of vinegar to the final rinse water. I personally hate the smell of vinegar though. Yeah man that was a shampoo! Why because it didn't foam it means it didn't clean your hair? Bullpoo!!
You can apply some conditioner to untangle but i would personally recommend the scented oil of last week on the lengths, that will help untangle

Some shine for all hair types
Now that's a kind of servicing for your hair. The sun, pollution, smoke from ugly buses and lorries, long hours in the pool and stuff.
Ingredients:
The Mask
-2 to 3 egg yolks
-2 tablespoon of Rhum (yes, Rhum)
- 1 teaspoon of Almond oil.

The Final rinse
The juice of 2 lemons and 1 liter of water

Whisk the egg yolks, Rhum and almond oil in a creamy lovely paste. Dampen the hair and apply the preparation. Let set for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water. Warm yeah not hot. You don't want to end up with cooked egg yolks on your hair. You'll look like a giant walking scramble egg and that's not the look we want to achieve!
After you've washed the hair with water, Finish with the final rinse and dry as usual. Air dry is the best as far as i am concerned. But that's just because i have Curly hair.

That's it Folks! Enjoy! What will we be talking about next week. Oh my Dog i know, Mr Parker who is sitting on my feet and warming them told me to do something about Dogs! Agree?

Make your own hair products

So witches how did last week go? Anyone tried anything? Ok, on second thought maybe i won't want to know...
Lets go with hair today. Now that i've got hair again it's my main hobby. When we did the new bathroom, we had a special place made just for our hair products. I think i tried everything on the market. GHD, Aussi, Paul Mitchel, Nicky Clark, John Frieda,Umberto Gianini, Tony&Guy etc etc. I love hair products! Specially since i've got hair again :-)

But sometimes i make my own, Because it's fun and it works.

Dandruff

Once i a while i get dandruff, special in between seasons. I know, not glamorous and in Mauritius i can't even pretend that it's snow innit! There is only one product i know but i'm not sure about the Zinc in it. However it seems to work wonders on pimples and acne!! But i never tested it. So just for that i tend to prepare my little potions.

You will need
600ml of Apple juice ( no sugar)
600ml water
125 ml cider vinegar
5 drops of tea tree essential oils
2 Drops of Lavender Essential Oils

Mix the ingredients together and use it as a final rinse after shampoo and conditioner. You know you should use conditioner on the lengths only yeah. Once a hairdresser said, '' non non non vos cheveux vont se grainer si ze metre ca sur le coco latete'' I almost died trying not to laugh. It's mean though

Headlice

Talking about dandruff shall we go on something even more gross? Headlice!
Yeah man, i'm not a mother yet (unfortunately) But i remember first days of primary school as being the nightmare of my mum because she just knew i'd come back with head lice. Oh shut up look at me in the eyes and tell me you never had little buggers in your long hair. I looked so stupid coz she sprayed my hair and gassed me with parapoux then did two braids, Yuk! Thank god i said adios to headlice when i left primary school!

So here is a recipe for you little ones.
This should be used on children over 5 years old. Not under!
You need 50 ml of non perfumed conditioner ( i get organic Care Conditioner, i got it from ebene Way, It's the most neutral i could find on the market in Mauritius)
3 Drops of Geranium Essential oil
4 Drops of Lavender essential oil
3 drops of Tea Tree
2 drops of Neem seed carrier oil

Mix all the ingredients.

here is the procedure for the treatment

Take the blend and massage onto the scalp
Leave the mixture in the head for half and hour or up to two hours.
Cover with a plastic cap to help absorption and stop the child from touching the hair. Careful mums, the eyes will sting like crazy if they get it into the eyes. This should be taken into consideration seriously. Never let essential oils getting into the eyes or mouth and mucous (e.g, women special parts)

Then comb the hair with the lice comb and get rid of those bastards.

Then rinse and shampoo as usual.
Do the first treatment every 4 days. Until they are all gone.

Scented hair Oil
If you want to smooth fly away fizzy hair after a blow dry or after using an iron here is a blissful oil. You can also use this before hair color for even absorption and protection from chemicals
You will need
25 drops of Lavender essential oil
25 drops of Sandalwood essential oil
5 drops of Clary Sage

Mix and keep in a dark glass bottle and use a drops when needed. I love the smell of this blend. You can also use a few drops on your brush or comb for a fresh scent that will get people thinking...

There are many many more tips but that will be it for today. Next week i'll go hair type by hair type. If i did all that on what post it would be the biggest post ever because i've got loads and loads to share.

Remember to like if you liked and share if you very liked. ( That's such a strange phrase!!)

Make your own love charms

No One but Ross can do a better description of Love!


What i'm gonna share with you today has to be practiced with care. Put a hand on your heart right now and promise that you will not use it to harm your partner or future partner. Common lets do it together '' i Swear to the almighty that i will not use these information against the will of one, or to cause harm to one and that i will not discuss my spells once they are released'' Done? Lets move on now.

Ok there's gonna be two parts here. The first will be on Aromatherapy things that will make their head turn and the other one will require another level of understanding and openness to weird things. Because yes, i'm a bit of a witch too. A good one though! Are you giggling and thinking that i'm off my nuts? Well think twice cause i could make your tongue go green and rotten. That's the bullshit part, no i cant do that. What i have done though is more spiritual stuff like reiki, meditation yoga. The one thing that is the base of witchcraft is turning a ''i wish i could'' Into ''thanks for what i can''See what i mean? What's the point in moaning ohh i wish i had a nice car instead how about changing the words to Thanks for this new car i am going to get soon... Doesn't it feel somehow better? Now try that with a smile...

Ok let's go with some ''aphrodisiac'' stuff first for those who are already in a relationship and want to surprise their man. Now i am extremely sensitive with the combination of the word ''massage'' and ''sensual'' Being a model AND a massage therapist was like having the word slut tagged on my forehead. I spent a lot of energy trying to keep my integrity and make the Mauritian understand that yes i am a model but no i do not go under the desk for contracts. Yes i am a massage therapist but no i do not give ''extras'' and in both cases yes i have a boyfriend and no i dont need a sugar daddy!! It really gets to me when i say '' massage'' and people have this little smile. Because it's a noble job and it gets on my nerves if people don't respect it. This said, we can move on to the more intimate part of massage that you as a girlfriend, wife or fiancee could give to your partner given that it's in the privacy of your home and not in a spa, beauty parlor or Salon! Sorry i am really sensitive on that! :-)

A BATH FOR TWO
So here is a simple bath salt recipe for you both if you have a bath tub or if you go on a romantic trip.

You will need:
225G of sea salt
125g Baking soda
30 drops of sandalwood essential oil
10 drops of clary sage essential oil
5 drops of Rose Essential oil
2 Drops of Ylang Ylang

Combine the salt and baking soda, add the oils drop by drop. Mix well and put in an airtight container. I personally prefer glass to plastic but i cant remember why. I know there's a good reason though! When you will have your bath dissolve four to eight tablespoons of the mixture when the tub is full! Trust me, the scent is heavenly and it will totally turn their heads!

Alternatively you can go for a bath oil, if you want to spend some time cleaning the mess after. I once did that and slipped because of the traces of oil! Bad and not romantic at all!

So you will need
2 tablespoons of jojoba oil
2 tablespoons of almond oil
25 drops of sandalwood essential oil
10 drops of rose essential oil
5 drops of patchouli essential oil

Mix all the ingredients in a bottle and add a teaspoon when the bathtub is full. Enjoy and careful, slippery tub!

And one thing, in the movies you see that they have wine or champagne in the bathtub but this is quite dangerous as your body (specially your heart) is immersed in hot water and the combination of this and hot water can be pretty dangerous. And essential oils too. So how about considering a sober romantic time?

Bedroom scent
Make sure you have put a nice scent in the bedroom, cherry scent is a proven head turner but lets make it fun and do our own bedroom fragrance.

For your own room spray you will need:
300ml of orange blossom flower or 300ml of water
6 drops of bergamot essential oil
10 drops of Clary sage essential oil
2 drop of jasmine

Mix all the ingredients in a sprayer bottle and spray in the bedroom. Avoid wood furniture though.

Alternatively you can use a burner and add 3 drops of bergamot essential oils, 5 drops of clary sage and 1 drop of jasmine. Careful if you are using a candle burner. You don't want to end up having to call the firemen too. Use an electric burner, it's much safer in general.

The Massage
Jesus, i found it extremely hard to write massage here because it's going to be for a different thing than therapeutic. But let's stay cool. You understand that i am a professional right?
Ok so for the... m.a.s.s.a.g.e oil you will need

15 ml of jojoba oil
2 drops of Clary sage essential oil
1 drop of patchouli essential oil
1 drop of vetiver essential oil
2 drops of ylang ylang essential oil.

Now girls i cant tell you what to do, put some nice music on, and let your imagination guide you. But careful, avoid the eyes, and his little soldier. You don't want to end up to the hospital with a ''soldier'' inflammation and a ''little flower'' irritation if you see what i mean...


You engaged people want a little witchcraft for your lover too? Now shhh don't say that to my boyfriend but guess why we are still together after 5 years of distance relationship. Yep there is magic in the air!
A simple way to make sure they have you in mind is to find out about his birthstone and infuse it with your loving energy. But first you will need to do this little ritual to clear all other energy from the stone.
First find out about his birthstone. I can help you with that if you want me to. When you go to buy it ( there's a great feng shui shop in Quatres-Bornes where they sell crystal pendents. There is one at Phoneix Les Halles too). They have to let you hold them in your hands and chose them. Yes you need to ''feel'' that this pendent is the one. Because so many people touched them, you need to clean it and infuse your own energy.
So you'll do that
On the first day of a full moon, put the pendant in some salted water and let the magical energy of the moon cleanse the pendant. In the morning remove it from the water and place it in your left hand and cup your other hand over it. Sit with the eyes closed and visualize your happiest time with him. The way that you feel when he looks at you or when he touches you. The first day that you met, your first kiss, when he proposed maybe, your wedding if you already tied the knot. Visualize all these happy moments and let your happiness infuse the crystal. Then give it to him. If he is not the jewelery type of guy. You can get a crystal and do the same procedure and offer him to put in his office maybe. Trust me there's no magic here, it's called energy. It's as real as the wind that we can't see is real! We were made with six senses, we use only five!


All the single ladies put your hands up!
Sometimes it breaks my heart when i see some facebook status. Take it easy girls, love relationship are supposed to be good for you and fun. If someone is not made for you, let go. There is someone else out there for you. Take it eeaaasy! I am the living example for that. My husband broke up with me by sms. I took 3 days off work, cried my heart out and smiled to life again. If he didn't do that i would have never met my actual boyfriend who is a total blessing and i would have never been so happy. Yes despite him being in London and me in Mauritius. Life is good, love is good. But don't listen to lyrics of love songs. It's not real life.
Ok mum kitty has spoken.
Now these little tips have to been absorbed and done with right intention. It's not black magic, voodoo or anything evil. Its more like white magic and are more like little blessings than evil spells.
Rule number one
You have to use them with a pure heart and never use them to cause harm to others. You cannot oblige someone to love you. That's cruel for you and for him. The only way you can use it and that it will work if it is share attraction. Like if you are into this shy guy who is not making a move for example.

Rule two
Always start by visualizing yourself in a clear, white light, if you are religious ask for angels or god protection and blessing. Spend a few minutes visualizing yourself in a pure, blessed bubble of love. Shit i just realized i must sound totally diluted to you! haha But hey try it and believe 100% in whatever you do.
I got most of these spell from Raven Tempest.

I hope i can trust you to use it with caution and good intentions.

To attract a lover
You will need
1 silver necklace
1 pink quartz pendent
3 drops of lemon essential oil

First of all you need to cleanse your crystal. Put in in salted water by the window on the night of a full moon. On the following night go outside and stand beneath the moon. Rub a few drops of lemon essential oil into the pendent and then wear the necklace around your neck.
Imagine yourself in your bubble of protection for a few minutes. Then raise both of your hands toward the moon and repeat out loud

I invoke the powerful moon goddess to cast this spell.
I wish to meet a suitable partner who will enrich my life.
so shall it be

Spend has much time meditating and letting the magical powers of the moon infuse you. Then walk away without turning back. Wear the necklace until you find the one. When you have, the pendent must be buried. Do not give it to someone else.

Ok, how are we feeling? laughing your ass off or going to try it?

To Attract the person you desire
If you know the one, and you know that he is free and could be attracted to you too. Try that
Take 16 cm of green ribbon and write the initials of someone you desire with a symbol of love and a star on it. Then tie seven knots in the ribbon while repeating his name. Wear it under your clothes the next time you meet.

Alternatively try that one
Place thirteen red candles to form a circle. Sit in the middle, light the candles and envisage your desired one in front of you. After a short time blow the candles off and repeat the exercise at the same time for seven days. Again be sure you are doing that with the good intention, specially for him.

Broken hearted
Here we go that's it for single ladies. Any broken hearted here? Relax, everything is going to be fine. But to let go take a picture of both of you that was taken during the good days. Go to the beach, stand facing the sea then tear the picture in half and throw it into the water. Spend some time listening to the power of the sea and know that you have the strength to let go and be happy again. Then walk away without looking back.

Had a little argument?
This will help patch up an argument
You will need
9 heart-shaped red floating candles
a large glass bowl filled with water

Begin this spell on a Friday night. Hold the candles in your hands and energize them with loving energies and repeat the following while thinking about your lover.

Lover be safe, lover be true,
Love come back and thrill me through.
Embrace me in your arms and envelop me in your love.
Let the fire in our hearts bring back our joyous love.
so shall it be

Spend a few minutes thinking about the words you have said.
Then place all the candles into the bowl.
Light them and repeat the spell. Imagine you and your lover patching up the argument. Leave the candles to burn down naturally and safely.

Now don't go and throw a fit at him, if it was his fault you have to forgive for the spell to work. If it was yours you have to acknowledge your mistake and apologize. Always be sincere though. You can fool him But you can't fool yourself thus can't fool your spell!

Here we go ladies and if there were any gentlemen...
If there were, note that we do like to be surprised too...

I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks that we are in 2011, in my previous life i lived in Salem and they burned me for being a witch :-)
How about grounding back to normal life next week and talk about hair... Happy?

Take care and remember, to do everything with the right intentions for everyone involved, don't be a selfish bitch ok...
Muah

Make your own foot products

Foot, i can't say foot without thinking of football and the 8-2 of Sunday grrhhhhh. 8 -2! Manchester i dearly hate you!! Anyway!
Isn't feet a strange member of a beautiful human being body. I hate my feet. It's like they don't belong to me. Sometimes i look at them and i'm horrified that they actually are my real feet. I think that's a joke from my creator, like a faulty manufacturing. The first thing i do with a new baby born is to lift the duvet and check the feet. I almost passed out when i saw my sister's little feeties. As a kid it was so strange but now her's are much better. i always check for potential boyfriend's feet so that if it works out the child will get his feet, let this genetic curse die with me please God please!
Ahhhhh that's why i love shoes so much aahhhh! ahhh that's why i prefer winter to summer ahhhh! <:-O ok let's stop the palabres and nail it! Another of my lousy lines sorry :-/ If you are like me and spend 6 days a week driving all over the place bare foot, you will find that your heels tend to have hard skin. So if you want to make your man happy under the duvet you better sort that out unless you wanna wake up in the middle of the night to a ''what the fuck was that'' when your feet accidentally touch him.


C'est le pied
So you want to make them soft with these simple steps
Dilute 2 spoons of cornflour (it will help soften the skin) in a basin of warm water and soak your feet in them for 10 mins. You can also add a few drops of peppermint or spearmint essential oils for a refreshing feeling if you feel tired.
If the skin is really hard, use a pumice stone to remove the hard skin. You will often find that there are little flaky skin so scrub'em with the salt scrub recipe ( my first post)

The nails is gonna be the same tips as for the 2nd post
But one thing though, i see lots of girls with long, pointed or rounded toe nails. Careful girls, the Day you're gonna bump into something that's going to REALLY hurt! I broke a tiny tiny bit of my nail once and it took so long to fully recover and that was not even the whole nail, Just a tiny bit. The Mavala, nail hardener helped a lot there, great product. Plus if you want to avoid dis gracious and extremely painful ingrown toe nails, you should always file them square! The only time you should have them pointed is when you have a bruise in the nail bed. This way it will help avoid infection. But other than that always square. It looks so nice if you go with a dark color with nicely groomed short, glossy toe nails. All square, same length. Guys if you are watching this,studies shows that 99% of girls have men foot fetish ( the studies were carried out by Doctor Kitty Philips PHD master in super sexy feet school of technology of feet)

Cheesy feet
Talking about Guys and feet. If you tend to have smelly feet ( sorry there was no delicate way to say that, but hey, we are all human)Here are some tips to bring some fresh air in your pumps. Manchester United? This is directly addressed to you!
Prepare a Foot powder with the following ingredients:
110g of Cornflour
55g of Bicarbonate of soda
10 drops of cypress Essential oil
10 drops of Lavender essential oil
3 drops of Patchouli Essential oil

Mix the cornflour and the bicarbonate of soda together. Put the essential oils drop by drop into the powder and mix it with your clean finger or clean fork. Store in a container and let the powder sit for one week. Then you can use it to dust your feet twice daily. This particular blend will fight odour causing bacteria while the corn flour and bicarbonate of Soda will absorb perspiration.

As an alternative you can put a leaf of Sage in your ''it makes my feet smelly'' shoes.

Do you have silk sock my darling? Huh no it's just my feet.

Put 60g of cocoa butter in a small sauce pan and warm at low temperature until it melts. Remove from the heat and add 10 drops of Lemon Essential oil and 5 drops of Patchouli essential oil and store into a small Jar. Massage the cream into your feet each night. You can put on socks to maximize absorption and avoid staining your bedsheets.

For a Pedi relax here is the ideal procedure
1- Soak your feet 10-15 mins ( you can add some marbles for an auto-massage)
2- Use a foot rasp or pumice stone to remove hard skin
3- Scrub the feet (dont forget the ankles)
4- Apply a rich mask ( shit i need to give you a recipe for that! coming in a Sec)
5- File and buff
6- Take care of the Cuticles ( cuticle oil in my second post)
7- Apply the foot cream
8- Remove all traces of oil from the nails
9- Apply a nail polish ( anyone tried the spraying of oil thing?)
10- Look at those happy toes and clap your hands on your mouth in total disbelief, love and tenderness.
11- Put a sign on your forehead that he or she who will step on your feet before the nail polish is dry will get in on the cheek!

Ok here is a mask before i forget
You will need:
2 spoons of Green Clay
5 drops of lavender Essential oil
5 drops of Geranium Essential oil
15 drops of avocado oil
A nice cup of tea, coffee ( or a cocktail)
mix the Green clay with enough warm water to get a creamy paste and add the essential oils and Avocado oil. Then put the mask on your feet, avoid under the nails though. have your drink and relax 15 minutes. Take the mask off with warm water. Voila !
I personally love the Dermaphuzion Colloidal Silt Mask. It's really moisturizing. So if you are not into making all these stuff, get that one.

Here we go ladies and gentlemen that's it for today. Next week were gonna talk about Luuuuuuuurve. i'm not saying anything but there's gonna be some white magic witchcrafty things involved too. whooooo

Don't forget to ''like'' if you liked and share if you very liked!

Make your own nail and hand product

Do you remember the very first time you held your first love hand? Wasn't it strange. For me it was in the cinema, we went to see Jumanji! Remember Jumanji? I so knew it was going to be the day i'd hold his hand in the cinema, just like in the movies so i did a milk soak, yeah man, even back then it made sense to me because i saw an old movie where Cleopatra was having a milk bath to have great skin so i thought yeah, i'll do that! It was very soft indeed but i was so nervous that my hand was sweating and stuff so all he could feel was damp skin! Not too cool come to think of that now.
OK, I think Anyway is the word we are all looking for. But just out of interest, did anyone else puked after the first kiss? Just out of interest of course, not that i did. Oh no, not even almost puked in his mouth! Anyway...

Tip number one:
Always have nail polish on, yes, for the truth of the truthfulness You know this thing when you say, i'm gonna let my nails breath? Bullcrap, nails are just dead keratinized cells! what it needs though is moisture. It will tend to break without moisture if you are leaving it nude, make sure it has enough moisture for healthy and strong nails.

Oil soak for nails
To give your nails a helpful hand (haha i know it's a lousy line but i couldn't resist)
Prepare a soak of warm olive oil with a few drops of lemon essential oil and leave each hand to soak for 10 mins. It's extremely relaxing and it will leave your nails all strong, healthy and shiny.

Byebye yellow
The one thing most women do is apply color directly on the nails without even applying a base. Bad, very bad, specially the metallic finish that really dries the nails. My favorite base is Jessica. Such a shame they don't have it here. It's with rice oil and stuff.
I used to brush my nails with whitening toothpaste and it actually worked very well. But here is a more natural recipe
Mix 30 ml of fresh lemon juice in to 30 ml of orange flower water ( you can easily find that in pharmacies and even supermarket. I can't remember the brand but i know it's in a blue bottle. Keep the mixture in a clean bottle and once a day, take some of the mixture in a cotton pad and sweep over nails.
To get rid of this yellow layer you can also buff them. I kind of like Seacret buffer although their silk story is a bit over the top and a bit show off, the bottom line is that, the result is great. But if you do not Have Rs2500, you can buy single buffers everywhere. I used to sit in front of the telly and buff my nails until i went ouch coz i warmed the buffer too much from the compulsive rubbing.

Yuk cuticles
One thing i really messed up with is my cuticles, i am slave for them now coz i started to cut them and now i have to do it every time. When you have a nice nail polish it's always so disgraceful having dry and thick cuticles. So if you want to treat them instead of cutting them here is a recipe

combine the following ingredients in a small bottle and massage a few drops into your nails every night before going to bed.
30ml of Jojoba essential oil (supermarket)
2 400-IU capsules of vitamin E oil (Pharmacy)
5 drops of essential oil
5 drops of Frankinsence oil

This is one of my favorite recipe from Laurel Vukovic.

Another of her great recipe is the hand mask

Mix 1 teaspoon of almond oil + 1 teaspoon of honey + 2 drops of lavender. Massage into the hands and let it set for 15 mins then rinse with warm water.

For a flawless nail polish
Rule number One- Always eliminate all traces of oil, cream or moisture from the nails before applying nail polish.
Rule number two- always, always apply a base coat before color.
Rule number three- Do not irrigate the cuticles with polish or it will chip quickly.
Rule number Four- never apply your Nail polish outside in the sun or blow on them after or dry them by the fan, it will create air bubbles and will chip quickly.
Rule number five- if you have a Polish you like, give it some love, clean the bottle after use. if you are struggling to open, it means you've messed up. always clean your mess. And never mix with acetone.
Rule Number six- hmmm let me think, oh no that's not a rule but a tip

Tip number 1: if you are like me and do your nail every Sunday in front of the telly for and expect it to look good the whole week. Buff them before apply the nail polish. But only with the sandy surface, don't make them shiny. Polish won't ''grab'' a shiny surface. i Love Nail station polishes, their colors are very funky and easy to apply. Plus i had the same bottle of 3 years now and the polish is still great. Didn't dry up or anything

Tip number 2: Spray your nails with oil after polish application, yes oil right after. It will make them dry super fast. Or if you're too chicken to try that and think i'm talking none sense, open the tap and let cold water run on your hands
down to the nails. But honestly, oil is the best.

God that's a long post so let's keep feet for next week kay?
Hope you liked it and will try it... Feel free to share

Intro

Hey there i'm back :-)
Kitty in London blog was quite fun but i'm back in Mauritius now, my family and friends already have a hard time with me and my status updates on Facebook so i didn't want to add up by creating a blog kitty in Mauritius. My mum was quite pissed off last time when i posted ''haha my mum said Cucchi instead of Gucci'' and everyone kept taking the piss out of her after. So I thought hmmm i like to write, i like to share things i do or know so what could it be... Oh eureka, natural recipes! Yeah i can do that! I have studied that and paid quite big money for those studies, but because i got injured once i can't practice anymore as my right shoulder is wrecked, so why not at least share what i've learn!

I'm a kind of hippie deeeeep down and although i work for a cosmaceutical company and do loooove having all kind of hair products, face creams, lip balms, Scrubs i also enjoy spending a Saturday evening or a quiet Sunday making my little creams and potions and spending Hours taking care of myself. Oh shut up i'm not superficial, i do take care of my inner self so why not of my body. If my body goes all yucky where is my inner self gonna go huh?

Ok let's make this super duper clear, this is not a blog that will go 'oh cosmetics are evil, chemical products, paraben Ewaterver waterver are gonna kill you blablabla'' Sometimes nature can't do what a guy in a white overall can do. Besides, you have to be very careful with natural stuff you know so don't mess up too much. But i think that just for the fuck of it, just because it's FUN, i like doing my own products. One thing i completely disagree with is products that are tested on animals. How can you test a face cream on a rat, honestly. I remember a teacher at primary school who used to put my knickers down in front of the whole class and slap me until my bum had ''all the colors of the rainbow'' as he said. He looked like a big fat ugly nasty rat, and as his face looked like a rotten pumpkin so i don't think he used face creams so i can't see the logic of testing products on rats!

I'll try and post well before the week-end so you have time to go get your ingredients if you want to try any of recipes.

First Post, will be on body scrubs, oh yeah baby, that's gonna be good. I love a good scrub for a renewed soft skin!

Make your own Body Scrub

Ok, why do you need a scrub? well not only it feels good, but it leaves your skin all soft and silky. You know how your skin goes all dry and greyish in the winter, well you wanna get rid of those dead skin cells because it really isn't pretty.
Scrubs are also great to boost circulation, so if you have a slow circulation, cellulite or water retention, that's great for you.
One scrub a month is great.


So what you need is
-30 ml of Oil, either avocado, wheatgerm, olive oil or even cheap almond oil. Almond oil is at about Rs60 rupees in pharmacies so it's the cheapest. I take olive oil from the kitchen. Ok ok don't go get your bottle of rani oil chicks, honestly!

- Then you can do your own feel good oil by adding a few drops of essential oil. I have given you a blend below for a better skin and also to relax you. Essential oils are extremely powerful so if you are going freestyle and using your own blend, PLEASE check for contra-indication. Do not be naive and go oh it's natural so it's ok ( i was doing my coolio voice there) Essential oils if used wrongly can be pretty hazardous. Here is the blend below and completely at the bottom of this post i have put the contra indications. Do not use them if you have one of the listed contra-indication.

Here is my blend for 30 ml of oil add
* 1 drop of fennel
* 3 drops of geranium
* 2 drops of grapefruit
Never shake the mixture, simply stir with your finger of with a clean spoon.

- Then you need a handful of salt. You can use sugar as well but mind the ants! You can add a few mint leaves to it for circulation. You'll enjoy the tingly feeling of mint. Or Lavender flowers, oh i love the smell of lavender. You can easily get lavender at Espace Maison et Jardin, they are at Rs150 or something.

That's it, we have everything to make our super sexy Scrub! The piss take with us human being is that we can't reach our backs so if you wanna get it right, it might be a good idea to get somebody else to do it. Yeah i know it sucks but unless you are elastic man or have super long and flexible arms, you won't be able to do it yourself. It might get messy as well so stand on an old towel so you can shake the excess of salt in the bin easily after. You don't want to go clean the bathroom after a pampering moment do you?

So first you will apply the oil, go bit by bit, start with one leg, apply the oil, then take the salt in your hands and use circular movement to exfoliate. Gentle movements, take it easy, no need to be harsh, the salt will sting if you scratch yourself, just use medium pressure. Scrub those dry knees and spend maybe a bit more time on thighs if you have cellulite. Do not forget the ankles and the sole of the feet! Then you go for the other leg and the rest of the body. But stop, not the face!! No salt is way to coarse for the face. When you've finished take a nice shower to remove the salt just water yeah, no shower gel or soap because you want to leave a film of oil. It will feel great tomorrow!

If you want a scrub for the face you can grind almond and oats and mix it in some honey, one table spoon of honey is enough. Again in slow circular movements scrub the face, specially in the nose and chin where you might have clogged pores and black heads. Then you rinse off with a splash of cold water.

Here we go we've got our first recipe, it's an easy one just to get novices going. Plus at the date i'm posting that i don't want you to go buy expensive ingredients. Salt you can get in your kitchen, oil as well! Those two will be fine, you don't have to get essential oils now.


I know it is not relevant, but listening to Nina Simone ''My baby Just cares for me'' while doing your scrub is really fun :-)


Caution
Please check for contra-indication for the blend i've given you. If you have one of those symptoms do not use the essential oil. It's ok to use the oil alone without essential oils.


Geranium may cause irritation on sensitive skin and contra-indicated during pregnancy

Grapefruit- do not go in direct sunlight 12-24 hours after using grapefruit essential oil

Fennel- Avoid during pregnancy, alcoholism, Epilepsy and when having liver problems.

Some people will try to sell you ''perfumes'' or ''essence'' and tell you it's ok, its the same. Please slap them for me it needs to be 100% essential oils otherwise it will cause skin irritation. Once a shop assistant tried to sell me those little oil that you put in burners and she told me it was ok to use on the skin! I went completely off my nuts!

Enjoy and let me know how it went and share it if you like it...
