Herbs

I am growing herbs in my container garden. Currently growing I have;
mint
basil
parsley
dill
coriander

I use herbs in my cooking but I am looking into other ways to use herbs in the home. I have far more growing than we can eat,, especially the mint and parsley as they are almost a year old plants now so have really taken off.

Last night I saw that you can put herbs in your bath and that mint is a rejuvenating herb. As I have an abundance of mint I decided to cut some and place in my bath to see if it really did smell nice/ work.

I picked a small plastic tub of mint and popped it into my bath as it was running. I have to say I couldn't actually smell the mint once it was in the water. I wonder if you need a huge amount of the mint to make the bath smell?

What uses do you have for your herbs? Other than cooking with them what else can I use my herbs for?

Shampoo rave!

Just to be clear, this is not a sponsored post. I am writing an honest review on a product I have found and love!

I have very greasy hair, I hate washing it daily yet I have not previously found any shampoo that makes my hair clean for more than 24 hours, most of them work much less. When shopping the other week I found this shampoo on sale in the 99p shop. I love a bargain and the packaging says 97% natural so it appealed to my eco-friendly wannabe side. I am very pleased with the results in the 1st wash my hair was feeling soft and non greasy so much so that I have not needed to wash it for 2-3 days at a time RESULT!

So what is this amazing shampoo? I hear you ask. Here it is;


I am doing some more reading up on their products on their website here I must say I'm liking what I have read so far; recycled packaging, plant based products, no animal testing. I also like the price I paid, the bottle I bought in the 99p shop is on the website for £3.99. What a fantastic bargain!! I would never have paid that much for it, especially with not knowing how well the product works for me. However, now I have tried it if I can't get it in the 99p shop again I would pay more for it. Now I wonder what other products I can buy.......
