honey

HONEY......best remedy for skin problems

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

I have found this great paper/ article about hone on interney while warming up myself for work today. i thought i should share it with you ladies out there who suffer a lot with daily skin problem.

So, here you go.............Discover a few ancient secrets, right here

Honey Bath: Add 1/4 cup or so of honey to your bath. Mmmm—sweet, silky, and luscious skin.

Honey Cleansing Scrub: Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.

Skin Toner: Puree an apple with one tablespoon honey in a blender. Apply this mixture for face and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water. This makes a great toner.

Firming Face Mask: Whisk together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon glycerin and enough flour to form a paste (approximately 1/4 cup). Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Smoothing Skin Lotion: Mix 1 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub into hands, elbows, heels and anywhere that feels dry.
Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with water. If you have a dry skin, take one tablespoon honey in a bowl and add one teaspoon milk.
Mix well and smooth it over face. Rinse off with lukewarm water after ten minutes. Your skin will feel soft instantly.

Hair Shine: Stir 1 teaspoon honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. Blondes may wish to add a squeeze of lemon. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.

Hair Conditioner: Mix half a cup of honey with two tablespoons olive oil. If your hair is very dry, add a three tablespoon. Section off your hair and coat it well with the mixture.
Cover your hair with a shower cap so you don't mess up the entire house. In addition, the shower cap traps heat from your scalp, enabling the oils to penetrate further. Wash off after half an hour.

observing night

Ramadan is almost going.......

Friday, September 26, 2008

Assalam u alaikum everyone!!!!!!

it's been a long time since i posted here. My tough routine(managing job, hubby and daughter) hardly allow me to write anything. Still i manage to read lots of other sisters blog cuz it makes me happy to see other girls doing what i wanted to do and i enjoy a lot reading their blogs and the way they update us hijabis with the latest fashion trendz while respecting the limits we have to observe as hijabis.

Today is the 25th night of ramadan and i am trying to observe it by doing adhkar and reading serat-un-nabi (s.a.w) cuz unfortunately i can't pray for some reason just like some other sisters. my sis
beautifulmuslimah just posted a very good advice for the ladies suffering like me specially in the month of ramadan. Thanks Alix..........GOD bless you!!!!!!!

I am taking a break to get the sleepy sahar out of me cuz i have to observe till suhoor inshaAllah. My habibi has gone with friends to a darsgah (a place where they use to gather for adhkaar and get religious lectures) to pray and observe the night and my princess is sleeping peacefully though she is having fever and cough these days (May Allah ta'llah give her good health soon) i m very upset for her health.

Please pray for me that Allah ta'llah forgive me for all my sins that i made in this month and accept my fasts. I know i didn't get enough from this month because of my worldly busy routine. I am very upset on this, my work timings are not reduced cuz we work with our UK office and my daughter demands all my time when i reach home till she sleeps.

anyways, i think all working mothers feel the same. ok, i think my princess is getting up, so, i better go see her and continue dhikr as i was doing. I will b posting regularly inshaAllah from now onwards.

see you guys
Fe Aman Allah
