20 BENEFITS OF ROSE WATER

-


I made Rose water back in May and since then I have been reaping the benefits.  With winter in full force and as I skin turns to ash, I have turned to rose water.  In doing so I thought why not share with you guys some of the benefits in using rose water.  After all the beautiful Cleopatra used this in her beauty routine.  How can one go wrong?

  1. Rose water has antibacterial properties which help heal wounds, cuts, and aids in the helping of scars.   
  2. Hyrdation properties.  Rose water helps to hydrate and moisture your skin.  
  3. Rose water helps to balance your skin's pH.  
  4.  With balanced pH and the moisturizing properties rose water helps to calm itchy skin, whether due to dry skin or minor skin irrationals.
  5. The astringent properties can help to open your pores which will reduce acne or other skin issues.
  6. Using rose water can help with redness by reducing the size of capercaillies.  
  7. The antioxidants help to reduce signs of aging.
  8. The aroma of rose water helps brightens your mood.
  9. Since rose water has pH balancing qualities it also helps with eczema and other dry skin issues.
  10. The scent of rose water can help to relax you so applying some before bed or on your bed may help you sleep.
  11. Rose water can also be used as a hair conditioner due to its natural qualities of moisturizing and balancing your pH levels.
  12. Since rose water is a mood enhancer it can help with anxiety.  Just apply a bit to your temples, wrists, or feet.
  13. Rose water can help soothe a sore throat.
  14. Applying some rose water to your temples, forehead and the nape of your neck may reduce and relieve a headache. 
  15. Rose water may help digestive issues. 
  16. Dapping some on a sunburn can alleviate sunburn pain.
  17. Due to rose water's anti-inflammatory properties, it can also relieve puffiness.  
  18. Do you have sensitive skin?  It helps with any allergic issues or breakouts due to allergies.
  19. Rose water can refreshen your skin.
  20. Rose water helps with cell regeneration.  

Now you can see how beneficial rose water can be to your daily health.  Once you have some made you can use it straight by applying with a cottonball.  You can use it in a spray bottle to mist yourself.  I like keeping mine in the fridge so in the summer it is a nice cool way to spritz myself.  You can make a mask for your face or exfoliate.

Rose water is so good for you.  Why not whip yourself up some today?


I hope you have found this refreshing.  

ENJOY!!

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   I have never canned tomato soup.  I really have never thoug

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit and makes it taste so much more like Ortega.   COPY CAT ORTEGA TAC

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not drink and label your seeds.  It is funny how things turn out becau
