🦟 Natural Mosquito repellent...

With our South African summer coming into full bloom, the mosquitoes have their little zappers ready.

There are quite a few recipes out there, and I can share a few more if you’d like, but I truly believe in this one — I’ve been making it for the past few years every mosquito season.

This is my own natural mosquito repellent — made without any harmful ingredients, only pure goodness for your skin. It is also easy to make and affordable:

Ingredients:

Aqueous cream (non scented)
5 drops of lavender 100% essential oil (repel mozzies, soothe the skin and calm the mind)
5 drops of eucalyptus 100% essential oil (powerful natural repellent in combination with lemon)
5 drops of lemon 100% essential oil

Instructions:

Fill a 100ml empty container glass or plastic with Aqueous cream.
Drop the essential oils in the Aqueous cream.
Mix everything very well.
Apply once or twice throughout the night, to the areas of your body where the mozzies love to launch their little zappers.


Make sure to keep a lid on the container and store at room temperature.

Headache Balm...

I know I already touched on the headache issue, but I just love the use of natural remedies and essential oils. I truly believe in the power of natural remedies and wholeheartedly stand behind their use.

If your headache is so intense that you feel as though your head is about to explode, this balm comes to the rescue to help soothe the pain. This balm is recommended for: throbbing, pounding, or nervous tension headaches.

-3 tbsp shea butter, refined
-1 tbsp jojoba base oil
-15 drops each of the following essential oils: peppermint; rosemary; Roman chamomile
-10 drops lavender essential oil
-5 drops sweet marjoran essential oil

In a saucepan over low heat or in a double boiler, warm the shea butter and the base oil until the shea butter is just melted.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, stirring a few times.
Add the essential oils and stir again.
Store in a glass or plastic container and cap.
Place in the refrigerator to harden overnight.
The finished product will have a pastelike, buttery consistency.

Note:

Once melted, shea butter can remain liquid for many hours, even for days. The shea butter doesn't
thicken into a solid balm if left at a warm room temperature overnight, so best to refrigerate it.
By morning the texture is pleasantly firm. You can then remove the jar from the refrigerator and allow it to warm to room temperature to get the perfect buttery texture.

No refrigeration is required, but for maximum freshness and potency, please use within 1 year.

Application:

Massage a small amount of balm wherever your head hurts or you feel painful, muscle tension, temples, forehead, back of neck, or shoulders. Use not more than 3 times a day.

3. Know Your Soil Type:

Soil texture affects how water drains and how well plants grow.

Clay soil:
Heavy, holds moisture longer — great for moisture-loving plants like Zantedeschia, Waterberry, and Papyrus.

Sandy soil:
Light, drains quickly — ideal for indigenous plants, succulents, and Mediterranean species such as Lavender, Aloes, and Olive trees.

Loam soil: The perfect balance — rich, crumbly, and holds just enough moisture.

Chalky soil: Stony, rocky and alkaline soil with larger particles than other soil types. It does not keep many nutrients and drains quickly.

Silty soil: Soft and soapy, holds moisture and is usually very rich in nutrients.

Peaty soil:
This soil is acidic and can be very wet. It is high in organic matter and can improve drainage in other soil types, but needs its acidity balanced for most plants.

💡 Tip: Improve poor soil by adding humus or compost to boost nutrients and texture.


4. Consider Your Location:

Your region plays a huge role in plant choice:

Coastal areas: Deal with salty winds and sandy, nutrient-poor soil.
Use wind-tolerant hedges to temper breezes (but don’t block them completely).
Choose salt- and wind-resistant plants.

Inland areas: Often experience frost in winter.
Opt for frost-hardy plants that can handle cooler temperatures.


5. Choose Your Plants:

This is the fun part! 🌸
Spend some time exploring your local nursery:

Take notes and photos of the plants you like.
Snap a picture of the label for key details such as:
Preferred position (sun/shade)
Mature size (height and width)
Flower color and bloom time
Whether it’s evergreen or deciduous
