health journal (exercise, diet, yoga)

[farm108]

I'm opening this thread for everyone. It's a health journal. I'll write in it sharing different healthy recipes that I prepare, things that I eat, drink etc. I will also write about working out, what I do/did. I will share articles or documentaries regarding health. Also recipes for homemade creams and lotions.

Other people can post here and share their stories, recipes, books suggestions and so on.

Lavender infused oil, for face (facial oil).

- dried lavender flowers;
- organic almond oil. (You can order it online in a small jar for aprox. $8);
- a small jar (dark in color).

Fill the jar 1/2 with dried lavender flowers. Pour in the oil and make sure the flowers are covered. Put the lid on. Leave it to infuse for 4-6 weeks storing it in a dark cold place. Shake it during that time a little once in a while. After 4-6 weeks, strain it into a dark jar. Use the clear lavender oil as a facial oil, make up removal or in a body cream (if you want to make one).

Positive affirmation, forgiveness:

“Today I forgive all those who have ever offended me. I give my love to all thirsty hearts, both to those who love me and those who do not love me.” - Paramahansa Yogananda
