Green tea for your health

Green tea is the ultimate beverage for a fresh complexion, it's even better for our skin than water.

It is a natural remedy for acne and pimples. Green tea also prevents the pores from clogging up, and the skin becomes inflamed.

Many countries uses green tea as a medicine, so drink green tea daily to strengthen the body's protection against the harmful effects that can ruin your beauty.

Green tea is also good for headaches, body aches, digestion and to fight depression. It strengthens your immune system and has a detoxifying function. Modern Studies show that green tea may prevent or slow the growth of cancer, good for weight loss, help reduce high cholesterol, strengthen the immune system, work as an antibacterial, help sunburn, hives and caries and few other things. This is because green tea contains volatile oils, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, caffeine, polyphenols and antioxidants.

Green tea may prolong life, at least if you are from Japan. In a population study involved over 40,000 adults Japanese, and they were followed for a period of eleven years (1995-2005). When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, it was made only for seven years (1995-2001).

Since green tea is very sensitive of heat,  you should not use boiling water. Boil your water and let it cool for a few minutes before you put in your tea. The water should be 75-78 degrees.

You can also drink your tea cold. Brew a big batch and store in the fridge, but no longer than 10 days.

If you use you a tea bag into your tea, do not throw it away when you're done.

It can be used as the mask, or scrub. Very good and effective on the skin.

Watch this youtube clip showing how you recycle your old tea bag.

Have a heavenly day!

Homemade hairmask

As you now know, I advocate natural products for the body.
I like to take care of myself and use ingredients available in my kitchen.
Today I'll tell you about a hairmask I usually do for myself. It makes my hair feel great and I avoid unnecessary chemicals. Furthermore, the products are always at home, so when I suddenly am in the mood of taking care of myself a little bit extra, or when I notice that my hair feels brittle and dry. I do this nice and lovely hairmask. This I can make any number of times.
I found this on youtube and here you can easily follow instructions. See here!

The ingredients for the hairmask is:

* 1 egg yolk
* 1 tsp honey
* 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
* 3 tsp mayonnaise
* 1 tsp olive oil

Mix all ingredients with a fork in a bowl. Spread out all over your hair and wrap a towel or plastic wrap. Leave for at least 30 minutes. Preferably longer. Rinse and then wash your hair as usual.

The egg white that is left over I use as a facial mask. First I clean my face carefully. Then I use a facial scrub, not necessary but it gives better results. After that I apply the leftover white from the egg and leave it on my face for about 15 minutes before rinsing off.

To make a total relaxing time for myself I lay down comfortably, a couple of slices of cucumber on my eyes and then I put on meditation guidance. After this I feel fresh and awake.

Have a nice time and a refreshing day!

Saffron is a spice that gives our food a beautiful yellow color. The aroma of saffron is usually described as reminiscent of metallic honey with grassy and hay top notes, and its flavor as well, hay and slightly bitter.
