Nourishing Homemade Hair Masks

Homemade hair mask

Whether you are in an area going into Winter or Summer, you hair always deserves to be taken care of. Part of that beauty regime should be a hair treatment at least once a week, depending on the condition of your hair, however this can end up being rather expensive.

So I found a couple of really great, simple recipes on Beauty Advices that use ingredients that you can find in your pantry or store cupboard. Natural remedies like honey, Castor oil, olive oil, mayonnaise and vinegar can make even the most brittle hair come to life.

Get The Jump On Winter With A Honey Lemon Tea

At the beginning of school season and the change in the weather, all it takes is for one person to get the sniffles before the whole family is out for the count.

To prevent or lessen the damage done by colds that can be prevented, Catherine from A Little Life has kindly posted a recipe for the Honey Lemon Tea she first tasted at a Korean friends house. Add slices of ginger and it would make the perfect house warming or hostess gift during the chilly winter months.

Deal With Not Quite Ripe Apricots

Sylvie is a lady after my own heart, I am a fan of anything dolloped with or sinking into thick gorgeous yoghurt (Greek or otherwise). Sylvie was tempted by a couple of early, not quite ripe apricots at her local market, however when she got the little darlings home, she found she was too impatient to let them ripen all on their own. So she helped the flavour along a little, by poaching them in white wine, a vanilla pod and honey.

Sylvie’s recipe for Poached apricots is available on her blog, Gourmand In The Kitchen

Creamed Honey For Breakfast

If you have the opportunity to get farm fresh honey, you have got to try making your own creamed honey. Creamed honey, also known as whipped, churned or spun honey, is just fresh honey that has been whipped to a thick creamy consistency.
