    Craft, Home and Garden Ideas

    Lavender & Chamomile Bath Melts


    YOU WILL NEED:
    50g organic shea butter
    50g organic cocoa butter
    2 drops of lavender essential oil (per melt)
    1 teaspoon of dried lavender flowers
    1 teaspoon of organic chamomile tea


    METHOD:
    1. Finely grate your cocoa butter and add to a glass bowl. Add your shea butter to the grated mixture.
    2. Place your glass bowl on top of a pan of hot water and stir until melted then take off the heat.
    3. Open a teabag of organic chamomile tea and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of it into the mix.
    4. Sprinkle your dried lavender into the mix and give it all a good stir.
    5. Gently pour your molten mix into silicone moulds (you can also use ice cube trays but I find the melts easier to remove from silicone). I like to use small pretty shapes such as flower moulds that are designed for chocolate.
    6. Add your essential oil (in this case lavender) to the moulds.
    7. Put your melts into the fridge to harden up for about an hour.
    8. Pop your melts out their mould and store in a pretty glass jar.


    HOW TO USE:
    Pop one bath melt in a warm bath and wait for it to dissolve. Be careful as the cocoa butter can make your bath quite slippery. If you don’t want your bath to be covered in lavender flowers and chamomile you can always place your bath melt in a muslin cloth bag.


    VARIATIONS:
    Feel free to adapt this recipe to suit your own personal preference and tastes. Other great combinations include lemon and orange with grated lemon zest or shredded rose petals and geranium essential oil.

    Plants soak up pesticides and cannot be washed off! "90% of lettuce tests positive for 47 different pesticides and 57 different chemical residues." BUY ORGANIC! Copy & Repost Everywhere!
    It's a great science experiment for kids, but a sobering message for parents.

    What kind of future are we giving to our children?

    "Only 5–10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetic defects, whereas the remaining 90–95% have their roots in the environment and lifestyle."

    Cancer is a Preventable Disease that Requires Major Lifestyle Changes

    Plants aren't just coated with pesticides.

    "90% of lettuce tests positive for 47 different pesticides and 57 different chemical residues." PAN Pesticide Use Info for Head Lettuce

    Plants soak up pesticides.

    And no amount of washing is going to remove substances that are embedded in their tissues.

    11 Important Skills For Preppers

    The Survival Woman
    Backdoor Survival
    March 7th, 2013
    Reader Views: 2,169
    Comments (10)

    There comes a time when every prepper will say enough with all of the food and enough with all of the gear. I do not know how to adequately articulate what I mean but after a year of seeking out the best stuff at the best price you just might want to stop – at least for awhile – and focus on something else.

    When you get to that point – and hopefully a whole lot sooner – you will want to start working on the important skills that will carry your through when faced with hard times. Today I would like to share my own list of important skills for preppers.

    11 IMPORTANT SKILLS FOR PREPPERS

    1. Interpersonal Skills
    Interpersonal skills are sometimes referred to as people skills, social skills or communication skills. But regardless of what you call it, interpersonal skills will dictate your ability to work with others in a positive and productive manner. By getting along with others, you will be able to build good community relationships and will become known as a responsible and honest person who can be trusted.
    Having strong interpersonal or social skills will be invaluable when it comes to bartering for goods or services or for controlling a potentially deadly situation with reason instead of force.

    2. Problem Solving
    The ability to think on your feet is going to be critical following a disaster or collapse.

    In practical terms, this means that you will need to very quickly evaluate a situation and come up with the best possible coping strategy for surviving under dire if not incomprehensible circumstances. You will need the ability to assess the risks you face and to act accordingly.

    3. Home Arts
    Having the ability to cook from scratch, preserve your home-grown food, sew (or mend) your own clothing and maintain a clean and sanitary living environment will be critical to your health and well-being.

    In modern times, we have become reliant on others to tend to our basic needs, whether from the supermarket, the mall or even the local power and water company. Learning to get by on your own without modern conveniences will allow you to live more comfortably and to focus on the more important matter of staying safe.

    4. Perseverance
    Perseverance is often described as having the steadfastness to do something despite the difficulty in achieving success. Hard times or not, this is the skill that will give you the will to keep on going no matter what. It will allow you to focus on the future – and hopefully better times – rather than staying stuck in the moment when all may not be perfect.Perseverance is a choice and a habit that will allow you to set small goals that are attainable which will lead to optimism and ultimately a sense of accomplishment.

    5. Frugality
    Being careful in the use of resources makes good sense. This applies not only to consumables but also to the use of time. Avoiding waste and eliminating costly habits will result in a simpler life, yes, but a life that is more likely to be filled with spiritual abundance.

    6. First Aid
    It goes without saying that knowing how to administer first aid can save lives. Basic wound care, suturing skills and even a knowledge of herbal home remedies can make a difference in whether your loved ones will make it through a crisis.

    7. Gardening
    Whether your grow a simple plot of greens or maintain a mini-farm on an acre or two, knowing how to grow your own food will allow you to supplement any food supplies that you have in your pantry. Learn to work and develop whatever land you have so that you can grow vegetables and fruits that will feed your family and possibly provide edible currency for barter in a SHTF situation.
    8. Basic Fix-It Skills
    Knowing how to pound a nail and operate a hand saw are just two of the many fix-it skills that will help you make repairs once you begin the recovery process. Plumbing, welding, electrical and general carpentry skills will always be in demand and will give you a marketable skill that will make you valuable to the community. (The book Brushfire Plague described this well.)

    9. Defense
    Whether you choose a stun gun, pepper spray, a knife or a firearm, get to know your defensive weapon well so that you can defend what is yours in a safe and sane manner.

    10. Compassion for Others
    Caring for others when they cannot fend for themselves is the human thing to do. Following a disaster or collapse, there are going to be people that are vulnerable. They may be children, they may be elderly or they may simply be lost or separated from their loved ones.

    Having the heart and compassion to deal with those that are physically or emotionally hurt is the right thing to do as long as you can do so without compromising your own safety. Be prepared to deal with the frightened and to assist them in finding their way to safety.

    11. Know Yourself
    Acknowledge your strengths and your weaknesses as well as your passions and your fears. Be strong in your faith and in your willingness to fail as well you willingness and desire to succeed.

    THE FINAL WORD
    Focusing on skills can provide a welcome break from the sometimes frantic and often times obsessive need to acquire food, gear and supplies. Taking the time to think through the personal qualities that will guarantee survival is something that we all need to do from time to time. Doing so will make you realize how much you have that is non-tangible but of great value none-the-less.

    Keep in mind, though, that with any list, this is only a start. With a modicum of thought, many more skills can be added to this list. How about you – what skills would you add to this list?

    Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!
