Harvesting Herbs & Plants This came from a talk by Gwen a little while ago. When the idea was raised to do a talk on herbs it seemed like a simple thing to cover but when I sat down to compile information it felt like sitting at the bottom of a very large mountain looking up into the mists. Herbalism is very in-depth and involved subject which takes years and years of study – people like Culpeper and Beyeri dedicated their lives to this wonderful and endless subject. It is my aim to do a basic introduction to the ways in which common cultivated and commonly found local wild herbs and plants can be used for healing, magical purposes and sometimes for a free tasty meal. I personally try to work with as many local plants as I can, ones grown in my own garden or gardens of friends and family or ones in the wonderful local countryside. Transporting your herbs must be done carefully to retain their valuable powers. Harvesting and Storing When to harvest Early Spring: Collect Dandelion roots Drying and Storing the plant

Eatweeds Wild Food Forager’s Guide How I Remineralized my Tooth Cavities Without Dentistry | A Real Food Lover Two years ago I went to the dentist for a cleaning. I had one small cavity in between two of my upper teeth, and one large cavity way in the back next to my wisdom tooth. The dentist recommended that I stay and immediately have those two cavities filled. I told him I was going to go home and do some research first. I don’t think anyone has ever said that to him before, because he really looked speechless there for a second. I think Doctors are pretty used to getting their way (besides, he already thinks I’m weird because of a previous argument we got into about fluoride). Contrary to popular belief, the teeth are not inanimate objects, but fully alive parts of the body. Dentin and enamel are fed from tooth building cells which transport or disperse nutrients through the dental lymph. This Aborigine Tribe had beautiful teeth and wide arches.

The Plum Eyeliner: Review: Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara You know when you've made that terrible mistake of purchasing an item but you can't undo it? That crushing feeling of knowing that you now have to haul yourself to a store to replace the bad item that you can't return but you can't give away either. A while ago I had purchased a tube of L'Oreal Voluminous False Lashes Mascara (you can check out the review here) and had it in storage till I was ready to replace my current mascara. Given the success I had with Physicians Formula recently (which is somewhat rare) and the desire to have a natural mascara, I decided to give the Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara a try. Anyhow, right off the bat the thing that I noticed and that I liked was that it definitely gave my lashes a bit of a lift and looked overall, pretty nice. How does it stand up to 8 hours? Overall, I think it's good backup to Tarte or even the L'Oreal Voluminous, but definitely not a replacement.
