Fresh Organic Garden Herb Tea Hair Rinse & Avocado Mask Snack


Amor Milagre Fresh Garden Herb Tea Hair Rinse Organic Vegan Non-Toxic natural beauty Recipe amormilagre.com

Today, we are strolling through our children’s garden to find plants for an herbal hair rinse.  Rosemary, lavender, anise hyssop, peppermint, thyme, and sage.  Garden fresh flavours and scents of the Earth.  Organic and pure, perfect in design, healthy and comforting, brew to cleanse hair, skin, mind, body, heart, and Soul.  Baby-and-Me bath with tea leaves.  A fortunate present moment together.  Nothing wasted.  Grown for good health, animals, and bees.  A Dear One’s adventure.  A garden of life!

Amor Milagre Fresh Garden Herb Tea Hair Rinse Organic Vegan Non-Toxic natural beauty Recipe amormilagre.com

Garden Herb Hair Rinse

Pick fresh organic herbs (no toxic sprays/chemicals/unnatural soil, use non-GMO plant seeds).  Steep in hot water until golden.  Breathe in the herbal steam.  Strain herbs to use later for more tea or use in the bath.  Drink some of this nourishing tea and/or add it into a bowl full of fresh, cool water.  Rinse hair in shower/bathtub for a natural clean routine.  Return plants back to the garden to compost when done.  The fresh herbal scents will awaken your senses, letting in light, resting in openness, while keeping your hair, scalp, skin, and all healthy.  Soften and condition hair and skin, if desired, with natural foods, like avocado below.  Inside and out.

Water is the best way to clean.  Start children off in life with habits that say:  “You are wonderful just the way you are!  Stay natural, be purely you!”  (More positive inspiration for all ages is featured in my books, artwork, organic recipe lifestyle journal, all in The Shop at Dove Cottage, and amormilagre.com.

Amor Milagre Fresh Avocado Face Mask Snacks Baby & Me Organic Vegan Non-Toxic natural beauty Recipe amormilagre.com

Avocado Hair & Skin Mask

A fresh mask for all ages.  This is especially fun for kids to try this tactile, healthy bonding beauty tip.  (Be aware of food allergies, as always).  Mash up avocado, set aside most of it for the snack, and smooth some on face and hair, a little will do for children.  Eat the avocado-wrap snack while the mask is on.  Add in seeds, dried fruit, nuts, olives, and/or beans.  Rest easy, and if with children, laugh and imagine funny green face/hair adventures.  Rinse off gently.  This beautifully coloured yellow-green routine is memorable and inspires more of the same, healthy, enjoyable habits for you and your Dear Ones.  More garden shares are coming soon!  xo ~Amor Milagre

Wild Rose Petal Bath

Amor Milagre Presents Wild Rose Petal Bath organic home, garden, healthy lifestyle amormilagre.com

Evening kitchen dancing in misty tones.  Dusty cinnamon cranberries bake, scenting the air warmly.  A walk where the wild roses roam, gently gathering fallen petals, so naturally pleasing and delicate.  The word ‘sweet’ was named for you.  A bath runs away into the night stars.  Twirling and swirling, the petals ride on faerie water tides.  Sweet is this bath, and noses giggle with petals that stick.  Look at those rosy cheeks, oh one fell into the water!  Laughs and unwound senses breathe.  Pajama families dance and sing into dreams:  light, loving, and airy.  In the morning, float out in vast Nature in the calming beauty that we all are.  Ocean, lake, pond, river, pool, or puddle.  Water is life!  Keep it healthy for all, clean it up, and stay natural.  Water, Earth, Air.  Feel it.  Be natural, be bare, be true, be purely you!  Live in the light!  ~Amor Milagre

Wild rose petals soothe the body and mind, unwind headaches, and heal the skin.  The sweet scent is entirely beneficial for the soul.

More ways of feeling connected with Nature are featured in my original children’s book collection and in my upcoming organic beauty and healthy lifestyle books, exclusively here at amormilagre.com.

**We gathered fallen wild rose petals, with no toxic sprays/chemicals/unnatural soil, use non-GMO plant seeds/plants.

Organic Stone Circle Garden

Amor Milagre Presents Stone Circle Garden organic home & garden sunflower amormilagre.com

A simple circle of Nature’s stones and organic compost makes magic in your garden and soul.  Let the glorious rain wash and nurture perennial wildflower seeds to surprise next season’s bees, while organic herbs sprout in the meantime, for little ones to taste on misty morning walks.  Temporary or permanent, to grow in beauty, this easy-to-design garden is a delight for the senses outside and seen from inside the home, too.  A little film to match below.  ~Amor Milagre PS Gardening ideas are also woven into my original children’s books!

Amor Milagre Presents Stone Circle Garden Film, Organic Home & Garden from Amor Milagre: Ethical Gift Shop on Vimeo.

How To:  Place a stick or garden stake at the center of where you want your garden.  Tie a string around it, and figure out how large of a circumference you’d like your garden to be.  Measure the radius amount and wrap that length of the string to another stick.  Trace the circle on the ground in the dirt or mark with stones.  This is a quick, natural, non-toxic way to mark out a garden.  You can insert more sticks/stakes to vertically visualize your circle garden, connecting with string, or start laying stones down in a circle.  Add organic compost and plant seeds and plants.  Et voila!  Let the rain help your plants grow very strong.  Water new plants in, and later water if really needed, but Nature knows best and grows best with natural rain rhythms.  Use saved rainwater in barrels and homemade organic compost for best results and ethical gardening practices.  Enjoy your blooms and edible organic foods every year.  This makes a beautiful winter garden structure as well.  You can build up the stones as high or thick as you like.  Ours is temporary so it is simply laid out.  Use garden stones, because they already live there and look more natural with plants.

Nature’s colours, shapes, and textures are varied and are all the more beautiful for it, humans included.  A great lesson for designing or appreciating anything/anyone:  natural, healthy, and unique.  More organic Home & Garden how to’s are featured in my upcoming ethical, healthy, organic lifestyle books.

Favourite Tools Part 2 Organic Natural Beauty

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

Tools are everywhere.  From your hands, feet, mind, heart, soul, expressions, and body to your hat, spoons, musical instruments, food, sun, moon, and pencils, everything is a tool to help us inspire positivity.  Every room in our home stores our favourite tools.  In the kitchen, a wooden spoon is always there, ready to use.  Screwdrivers and hammers dot the basement as we finish a room.  Paint brushes dry out by the sink, while lamps await our touch so they can shine their light for us.  Notebooks excitedly lay and turn pages for new stories and friends to be invented.  Hats shade our eyes, as we walk in the deer tracks in the snow, meditating in nature.  What are your favourite tools?

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

In the kitchen:  the wooden spoon, a sharp knife, fresh food, and a favourite pot.  When you have favourites, you don’t need anything else.  Everything in our home is our favourite.  Minimal belongings help us to be organized, uncluttered, and serene.  Old things are mended or sold, donated, or given as a gift to someone who sees it as their favourite.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

Gravity is a great tool when paired with some great techniques.  A twist in the hand, and you have fresh, ripe fruit.  Wild ones eat fallen fruit, seeds, nuts, and plants.  The wind spreads seeds everywhere as a wonderful transportation system/ride.  Nature works together, and we try to have the things in our home work together with us, respecting nature.  We make as much as we can by hand.  This has been a goal of mine since birth.  I always wanted to learn how to make everything.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

Babies learn to use natural tools such as their voice, energy, and body.  If we teach them gently, they will live, think, and love gently, too.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

So many tools to help us do what we like.  Umbrellas, for baby and me, take us on a tour of a world under water droplets and reflective light.  When paired with natural rubber rain boots, a grand adventure is upon us.  Saved and stored foods bide us time to cook with all year long.  With our tools come the processes, and then the results, adapting to our ever changing tastes.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

Scissors snip hair to keep healthy habits fresh.  Sconces shine sweetly on a dimmer sweet on the eyes, not too often on cloudy days, as I paint starry skies and ocean waves.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

Just like choosing fresh ingredients for baking and cooking, tools must fulfill their destined purpose, function, ergonomics, and feel good to use.  A tool that gives you splinters needs the help of another tool to smooth it out, making it safe for your hands.  This gentle mending can be applied to everything from relationships to learning new things.  If you’re stuck, try something else.  Light and shade, in balance, are healthy for the nervous system and for good rest, following Nature’s clock.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

From paint brushes and chisels to pencils, we use a large number of tools every day.  We take care of our tools so they work for us for a very long time.  Then they can be passed on to work for others, too.

Amor Milagre Favorite Tools 1 art studio atelier office kitchen homeschooling workshop family organic vegan Art & Design amormilagre.com

Colours colours everywhere!  I use art and design as a tool to work with moods and emotions.  I arrange artwork to create a feeling for each space.  Wallpaper and bedding.  Interiors & exteriors.  Garden plant design.  Children’s book nursery illustrations.  Custom house paint colours.  Mixing colours is a large part of what I do.  These primary coloured watercolour paints were found on a trip to Hungary at one of the last remaining pigment mills that uses water power.  Good craftsmanship for any tool lends ease of use.  I only have to use a tiny bit of these colours to mix extraordinary hues.  A knife that is sharp slices a tomato gently and nicely.  It’s not crushed and the user is not strained.  Take care of your tools so they take care of you.  Ergonomics are important, especially for constant use.  How is your body aligned when using your favourite tools?

To read more about our favourite tools and organization for a beautiful day, please check back for our upcoming lifestyle and design books.  Our book collection is coming very soon.  I source responsible paper and materials.  All books are made to order and handmade with love and care by me.  I sign each book and can write custom messages to your dear ones.  More on this soon!
