Green fingers love spell

For all of those who have loved and lost, and tried again to to the point of giving up... here's a little helping green fingered hand.



Sowing the seed of love, to attract a special kind of lover :

This spell demonstrates how pouring your love into a little basil plant will ensure a strong love with someone. 

You will need:
A small pot
some earth
some basil seeds

On a waxing moon in late spring or summer, take a few basil seeds and sow them carefully in one or two small pots or containers. As you sow them, sing a sweet song or think loving thoughts, and feel the love entering into your life. Water the seeds lovingly each day until they germinate, saying as you do:
"Sono innamorata, Grazie"

When the seedlings appear, take great care of them, especially if the weather is cold. Place them on a suny windowsill. You mustn't let them die and never use these special plants for cooking, for they are sacred to love.

You will meet a special love within a few months - perhaps the love of your life...

Its all about the laundry

Finding a good laundry detergent has been an absolute mission for both myself and my youngest daughter.

We both suffered badly from eczema, to the point were my daughter at the age of 4 had to have her arms bandaged to stop her from scratching her already cracked bleeding skin. I might as well be dragging her through a bush of nails and needles, that was how bad it had got.

We tried everything the Doctors told us to use on and off prescription. Nothing seemed to work. So I started on a Mothers mission to find a solution.

From diet to creams, from shampoos, soaps and laundry detergents. Since then I haven't looked back.

I now have a healthy, happy 9 year old that can now get on with her day normally, without screaming out in pain.

I am going to share with you all the laundry powder that I now make from scratch, as we don't want to use all those nasty chemical based products, especially on our most prized possessions that have the  most sensitive of skins... our children.

What you will need:
Borax Substitute... this is not BORAX and is completely safe 2.5kg you can find this down the laundry isle
Soda crystals 2kg ... laundry isle
Bicarbonate of soda. (not the baking soda as this has other things in it) try looking on eBay or Amazon to buy this item in bulk as its cheap)
1kg chlorine free oxygenated bleach (this one is optional)
125g - 150g natural soap (for a natural soap you can find this in my shop here:

I shall write up a later post on how to make your own natural soap.

For fragrance you can use whatever essential oil of your choice, I like sweet orange as you can get this one quite cheaply. I add approx 40 drops per wash.

Well there you go! Natural laundry powder!!
