Skin just all kinds of flawless!!!

I need a teapot like you used in the video! Mind sharing where you purchased it?

Nice video. I wanna know where you got that tea kettle from as well please.

Hey ladies, I believe I got it from amazon a few years ago. I couldnt find the exact ones, but found some pretty cute alternatives.

Very frothy, yet creamy once the bubbles settled from me using my immersion blender.

This looks amazing. I’ve been toying with the idea of switching to black soap for my body - I’ve been looking for a pre-made alternative to dove sensitive skin soap but have found many natural bars irritating or drying :/ what brand of black soap do you use for your base ?

@water_n_oil Also wanted to let you know of another surprise discovery I made that I was sharing with another member. Fenugreek healed then cleared up my DS's eczema patches within a few hours. It's been a full week now, and the patches are smooth and I haven't caught him scratching.
Whoaaa, how are you using it? DD2 scratches like an addict. I need to make a new batch of her shea mix. CeraVe has been helping smooth her skin but the two together work better.

just did a mini haul of some more herbs/powders from HennaSooq. As I mentioned before I plan to start using more infused oils and glosses, full herb pack for henna + indigo coloring only (which I’m thinking bout doing sometime this week maybe Wed)


I want to make two oils, plan to infuse 4 weeks (or minimum of 1 week before I begin to use) - one penetrating for pre-poo or oil rinses - growth, thickness, etc. and one to use after washing for regular scalp massages and sealing with my shea butter that smells wonderful. all powders included below are now in my possession :)



penetrating, growth oil mix for oil rinses:
  • 1/3 cup each of olive oil + coconut oil + avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons Fenugreek seeds + 2 tablespoons bhringraj + 2 tablespoons aloe Vera powder + 2 tablespoons henna + 1 tablespoons Amla + 1 tablespoons Brahmi
  • 10 drops of ylang ylang and/or lavender EO

nourishing, moisturizing, good smelling oil mix for scalp massages/sealing on clean hair:
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower or Avocado Oil + 1/4 cup olive oil + 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons rose petal + 2 tablespoons aloe vera + 1 tablespoons bhringraj + 1 tablespoons brahmi
  • 10 drops EO: lavender or rose or jasmine

open to suggestions/critics.

It was a pure accident. I was deep conditioning my hair with the Fenugreek conditioner I made and he came over to me reaching for me to pick him up. I still had conditioner on my hands, so I just rubbed it on his legs so i could pick him up. LOL. That night, when I went to change his pamper...the redness was gone and the patch was completely clear. I was like



So then I made a fenugreek tea and sprayed his leg and thighs again and look Sis....

The ends of the straw are where the patches are. (Well were) You can barely see them. Just last week they were bleeding and inflamed. I'm just so happy. I know you know how hurtful it is when they are in pain and there is not mucn you can do. I hope this helps you and any other mommy out there in similar situations. Probably would work well on any dry skin/scalp conditions too.

@ElevatedEnergy omgoodness, will make a batch tonight! Thank you! It's awful when she scratches. There have been times were she dug really deep (thankfully not in a while though). That dc you made looked heavenly btw.

Thank you. Do you have Tamanu oil? My research was showing that it was good for eczema too and my deep conditioner has it in there now that I think about it. Try tamanu with the fenugreek spray if you have it, if not then fenugreek alone still would work wonders. Keep me updated!

Sure do. The mix I make for her is just shea, tamnu, and jbco. Will report back once I start using the fenugreek.
