Why use a vinegar rinse on your hair… especially in the Spring?
This simple little mixture of infused vinegar and water smooths the hair cuticle and cleanses buildup. If you are like me and work from home, you are on autopilot most days, so a little herbal vinegar hair rinse self care is always a good thing!

Using white or apple cider vinegar after shampooing your hair is an excellent way to revitalize its texture.

Supplies Needed
*Pint-sized Mason Jar
*Plastic Wrap
*Cheesecloth
*1/4 cup herbs of choice
*Apple Cider Vinegar

Herbs to Use :
Dark Hair: equal parts dried nettle and rosemary
Light Hair: equal parts dried chamomile and calendula
Red Hair: equal parts hibiscus and rose

To Make the Rinse
*Place herbs in mason jar.
*Cover herbs with apple cider vinegar to about one inch above herbs.
*Cover the jar with plastic wrap and seal the jar with a normal lid.
*Allow herbs to soak for 3 weeks minimum.. just be sure to shake every so often.
*When ready to use, strain the herbs through cheesecloth and be sure to squeeze out the liquid.

How to Use your Infused Vinegar.........

Before you shower, place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the infused vinegar into a non-breakable cup. After you have washed your hair, dilute the infused vinegar with warm water in the cup. Slowly pour the diluted vinegar over your hair, being sure to cover as much of it as possible. Work the infused vinegar through your hair and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

You can use this 1-2 times per week. Just watch your use as vinegar can dry your hair out.

The aroma of vinegar will fade as your hair dries. 😊

☀️Happy Hump Day!

🌤️Busy day today, but made it out to see a spectacular sunset after a humid overcast.

I hope everyone had a great day today…. The weekend is a little bit closer!

🌸Sunday Vibes🌸

Today is about relaxing, laundry, enjoying the fireplace (that ends soon with Spring marching it’s way in!) and getting ready for the week.

Yesterday was Queensferry Ren Faire. Sadly, no pictures. It was so cold my toes where still numb when I got home! This is Spring around here…. You never know what the weather will do!

I hope everyone is having the weekend they need!

Happy almost end of Monday.

I have been a little absent due to my own clumsiness. I was cleaning this weekend and somehow scratched my cornea.. most definitely did not feel good. I don’t recommend it. 😁

I am much better this evening. I made it outside to gather some chickweed, but more about this little beautiful plant tomorrow.

Hope everyone here in the US is surviving daylight savings time!

❤️

Happy Friday!

It sure has been a long week, so tonight’s comfort food is garlic honey chicken and scallion pancakes.

Going to get on comfy clothes, settle in, watch Project Wolf Hunting and have dinner. What are your plans?

Happy rainy Wednesday.

It has been a rainy dreary day today. I wanted to just curl up in bed and read, which did not happen.

So, tonight, it is a fire in the fireplace, a little Body Balance and yummy Oyakodon and watching Somebody.

Remember, tomorrow is Friday Eve, a little closer to the weekend everyone ❤️

Stay well my friends! P.S. if you happen to sleep horribly tonight, remember there’s a full moon tomorrow. It’s totally the moon’s fault, not mine. 🤗

Happy Monday everyone. Sleepless Sunday night has me wishing I was anywhere but work, but that beach would definitely be better!

Today was a slow Sunday, marked by lots of cooking and a nice long afternoon walk at the Pecan Grove. Sunday, for me, is about getting ready for the week ahead; food for the week, doing laundry, work preparation…. But I also make time for myself. Going for a long walk, yoga, reading a good book, and a nice long bath with bath melts. Making time for myself is an important part of getting ready for the upcoming week. How does everyone else getting ready for the work week? I hope everyone has a great week!

I wonder if this is the equivalent of us hoomans sticking our feet out from under the covers when we sleep? I don’t… too many Steven King books read late at night. My feet stay nice and save under the covers!

Japan Cherry Blossom Festival- not this year, but Spring 2024. I was talking with a friend tonight about this trip. She thought it sounded scary to go by myself, but I told her you can’t live in fear of things, even traveling by yourself. This is on my bucket list,along with staying at Korakukan Onsen. I can’t wait (an entire year!). cherryblossomfestival
