So basically you're saying that dave needs to buy me a flower bouquet that includes roses, primroses, hibuscus, marigolds and cornflowers? Yea. That's exactly what you're saying...
ReplyDeleteHaha ;)
Happy Wednesday iva!
Educational post--I have heard something similar about marigolds as well.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to all of those wonderful things, they also make girls think you really dig them and it makes them more willing to roll around for a little while.

ReplyDeleteLOVE Marigold which is similar to Calendula (actually my mums name Nevenka..which is a Serbian name means Marigold) so we are big on Calendula and MArigold extract in this house!!
ReplyDeletebring on the flowers! who knew they did more than look gorgeous and smell divine!
ReplyDeletei think i need some cornflower!
not really related, but i love the smell of jasmine. it is POSITIVELY INTOXICATING! i have some outside my bedroom, and when there is a breeze in the spring and summer, the smell wafts in and drives me out of my mind! delightful! it puts me in a good mood instantly!
i just love nature, it never ceases to amaze me...

Thank you for this post. An excellent and cheap way to incoporate rose into your beauty routine is to buy rose water (for cooking) from a mid eastern food shop. Make sure it is water and syrup, you can add a couple drops of it to water when you rinse your face off, it acts as a toner.
ReplyDeleteWell this just proves I need more flowers around the house :)
ReplyDeleteOh I need to print this off for the Hubby!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is really into making things - like face wash, lotions, etc. - using herbs and/or flowers, especially roses. I love this kind of stuff. It smells GREAT! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It's great to know these things! :)

Wow, these posts are really interesting! Most beauty blogs are 100% flogging a product or regurgitating out the same old info, but any products you mention are relevant and interesting, and so many of these useful beauty tips, I have never read before. I'll definitely be trying the natural teeth whitening. Thanks!
