New passion: Herbal Tinctures

Herbal tinctures have been on my mind for a while now and I was always researching up on how to make them and what they do etc.
So last night I got the urge to make one, a lavender tincture. I have been slightly scared to make one of these because I didn't know if I could do it plus I didn't know what herb to use.
Now I have to wait 5 weeks to see if it turns out alright and yes I will be making an entry about that lol, after 1 day you can already see the colour changing it is so interesting to see :P

Imbolc

Imbolc is coming up soon, people normally celebrate it on the 1st/2nd February. I like to celebrate these festivals with 3 days, so I will be celebrating it on the full moon which is on 30th January up to 1st February.
I know I will be meditating within the 3 days, also some spring cleaning (I hope) and maybe a nice walk and hopefully I will find something nice that represents the festival :)

Anyways, I thought to come on here and share this and the incense (see other entry) and to say that I hope you all have a wonderful Imbolc :) (and if you celebrate anything else on that day then I hope you have a wonderful day)

Imbolc Incense



Finally made my Imbolc incense, didn't think I would do it as my coffee grinder hadn't arrived, but it did today so I made some incense to try it out :)

Didn't really use any measurements, just took a wild guess with everything..Sometimes things turn out better like that :P
Anyways, here is what I put in the incense in case anyone wants to use it :) Enjoy


Imbolc Incense
Myrrh
Jasmine
Basil
Sandalwood

Things just need to take time

Really should be asleep right now, but I just had to come on here and write about this.

As you all probably know my passion for making homemade bath products is starting to get bigger and little bit more better than when I first started these things, I have decided that I should end up selling these products. I have tried this before and always rushed into too fast and always fell flat on my face. But this time I am gonna try and take this slowly and make sure that everything is in order. I really want to make this work but my fear has already started to kick in and every time I try to do something it goes wrong, so this is why I am trying to go slow..So I know my products and myself are gonna be OK.

I have made a facebook page, so I can update on what is happening and to help me keep focused. My items will be mainly sold in my partners shop, which he is working on at this moment, but I am hoping to sell them online. I am already thinking of future plans but will make sure I keep to the now :)

This is basically my dream and I have been trying to get a shop up and running for 4 years, but like I said I always fell flat on my face so now I think is the right time. I am making sure what herb is safe and what is not...I have noticed some people haven't even been doing that and they have just went flying ahead, which has made me annoyed and feeling a little upset but I know I am doing the right thing by taking it easy. It is the best way to do things, just wish I thought that all the time but I guess I am just excited to do things that I love lol.

Anyways, I really should go to sleep now. I will post the link (here) of the shop for anyone to check out ;)
(I love my little logo, which I made in 10 minutes lol :P)

Such a good vibe tonight

I just love the feeling when you finally make a video that you feel is important or will help someone in some way. It is like you can actually breathe and think properly now lol.
I had wanted to make a video of my views and points on how not to get scammed by any spiritual healer. I know it cant always work like that but they may help in the long run.

So the video is done and is now live, yay!



and this is all I have to report :)
Hope it is a good day/evening/night for everyone out there :)
