(my previous account with 16,000 + followers was hacked last year…im really sad about this as it was my main account and very important to me, so Ive had to start from scratch but please show some love and follow me for great home workouts from a ballerina :)
💛 Thank you to you all for your beautiful support of my channel so far, and please do consider subscribing for weekly slow living videos, it means the world.
This week, Im feeling very inspired with the start of Springtime! It feels like a fresh and brand new start to life, so much needed...
I cleaned my home, visited my favourite place in the world, decided on some major life changes for the future and also made a rosemary hair rinse and vanilla extract.
I really hope your enjoy this little vlog, I love sharing with you all.
Much love,
Lika xx
~Rosemary Hair Rinse: for around 1L
-5 - 6 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or dried if thats what you have)
-just over 1L of water, as some will evaporate in the process
Simmer the rosemary for around 20 mins or until the branches loose their colour and the water is a dark brown colour, and its done!
You can use this as a daily spray in your hair, or like me, I use about a cup after washing my hair on my ''wash days''. I rub it into my hair and scalp and dont wash off. I find its been making my hair feel alot stronger in general.
~Vanilla Extract: makes 500ml
-5 -6 good qaulity vanilla pods
-any vodka, brandy or rum (dont use any flavoured vodka though as you dont want other extra flavours interfering with the vanilla)
Simply slice open the vanilla pods to release more flavour, add them to a container and cover completely with your alcohol.
Leave for at least 6 - 8 weeks, although I leave mine for around 3 months normally before using. Then its ready!
