Hi All, today I have the pleasure of introducing you to my guest blogger Ruth!

Groovy and Helpful Post!

Well, I was thinking the other day about what I should do as a blog post this week when 

a girl friend asked me what I put in my natural hair rinse. 

From that point on I decided to share with her and you my natural hair rinse recipe. 

At the moment I normally use a natural based shampoo and conditioner but I like to give my head and hair a bit of a healthy boost by putting a rinse through it and leaving it in for a few hours to really soak in and then I wash it out normally. 

I have found that my hair is slowly getting healthier as I do this so I am really happy to share 

this with you and hope you find it helpful in some way.

So, here is my natural herb & flower healthy hair rinse recipe that you 

can easy make from the garden.

NOTE: If you can't find these ingredients don't worry, I use what I have in my garden so use your imagination and see what you can find.

Lavender   Smells beautiful and is a good conditioner

Mint   a good cleanser

Coconut Oil   Helps promote hair growth and strengthens hair

Honey   Feeds hair for stronger hair

Lemon   Cleans hair and scalp while also bringing out light highlights

Chamomile   Good for healing damaged hair, scalp and skin. Also brings out light highlights

Sage, Pineapple Sage   A natural deodorant that helps close pores

Rose Hip   Helps feed hair

Rose Petals   Softens and feeds hair

Calendula  Super herb, helps feed hair and skin

Rosemary   Conditions and gives shine to hair

Jasmine   Smells beautiful

Elder Flower   Moisturises hair and skin, also whitens skin

As I said, these are all ingredients that I have in my garden, there are so many other great herbs and flowers that God has created that you can put in your hair, do some research and see what you have in your garden to give your hair a healthy boost.

P.S.

Here's some other things you can also try for healthy hair or skin!

Almonds, Avocados, Parsley, Apricots, Colts foot, Comfy, Cucumber, Fennel, Lady's Mantle, Linden Flower, Lettuce, Marigold, Marshmallow, Nettle, Onions, Papaw, Poppy Petals, Spinach, Thyme, Violets, Tomatoes, Yarrow and the list can go on.

Hi all, sorry it's been a little while since I blogged last. There are just so
many wonderful things to make and share but not always enough time to do it all!

All that said, today I had a little time up my sleeve and decided to try my hand
at making my own hair clips. It was a fun and easy task with a pretty hair clip 
for my church outfits as a result.

P.S This was not my church outfit!

Step One

First of I went looking for some leftover bits and pieces to make my hair clip out of.

I found a short bit of lace, a thick bobby pin and a pearl bead.

With my supplies I headed to my sewing room for a pair of scissors, a needle and thread.

After threading my needle I folded back one end of the lace onto it's self and 

stitched it down giving me a nice edge to work with.

I then weaved my needle through the bottom of my piece of lace so that I could gather it. (NOTE, If you want to use a piece of fabric, just do big stitches along the bottom).

I kept weaving, checking every now and then if I had gone far enough by pulling on my thread and gathering the lace. When my lace formed a nice flower-like circle when I gathered it, I knew I had gone far enough.

Now that my lace piece is gathered I cut off the extra lace leaving enough to fold it back on it's self and stitch it down onto the other lace.

Once I stitched down my end I put in a few more stitches to hold everything together.

Whoolah! A pretty flower.

While I still had my needle, I slipped my pearl bead onto my thread and stitched in onto my new flower. I also put a few extra stitches in here to make sure my bead does not come loose.
