This is só true! Your house stops being a "show room" when you Homestead.
Drying and preserving space is valuable.
▪︎~Bushveld Bella 🏡~▪︎

You know you’re a homesteader when your kitchen stops looking like a showroom and starts looking like a biological research station. If you walk into a house and see these 10 signs, you’re home (or at least somewhere that always smells like fresh bread and soil).

1. ​The Sink is "Occupied": You haven't seen the bottom of your sink in weeks, but it's not dishes, it's Egyptian Walking Onions taking a bath or a mountain of carrots undergoing "dirt extraction."

2. ​The Great Indoor Egg Hunt: You find eggs in the most "un-egg" places. In a tea mug? On top of the microwave? In your hoodie pocket? It’s like Easter every day, but with more risk of breakage.

3. ​The Sourdough has a Name (and a Personality): You’ve realized you spend more time feeding and talking to your starter, "Sir-Bakes-A-Lot," than you do your actual pets.

4. ​Mason Jars are the Local Currency: You don’t see glass containers; you see gold. If someone returns a jar, they are a true friend. If they return it clean, they are family.

5. ​"Is it Spoiled or Fermenting?": There is a constant, mysterious bubbling sound coming from the corner. It’s either a science experiment or the best sauerkraut you’ve ever tasted. There is no middle ground.

6. ​Seed Packets are the New Wallpaper: You have more seed packets than you have spice jars. They’re on the fridge, in the junk drawer, and somehow, there’s a packet of kale seeds in your sock drawer.

7. ​Dirt is a Decorative Choice: You’ve stopped apologizing for the "terroir" on the floor. It’s not a mess; it’s just the garden coming inside to visit.

8. ​The "Drying" Phase: Every available hook, nail, and cabinet handle is currently hosting a bunch of herbs, flowers, or garlic. It’s like living in a very fragrant forest.

9. ​The Calendar is a Planting Guide: Your calendar doesn’t track dentist appointments; it tracks moon phases, last frost dates, and the exact day the "Meat Kings" need to move to the tractor.

10. ​The "Farm-to-Table" Wardrobe: You’ve gone to the grocery store in mud-caked boots and a shirt with a mysterious smudge on it, only to realize... you don't even care. You're just there for the extra canning salt.

Elke botteltjie Ina Lessing begin met 'n vrug, of groente.
Dan kom die hande. Die afweeg. Die kook. Die roer. Die proeëry. Die bottel en etiket.
Daar is geen 'maak gou' knoppie nie. Geen masjien wat die liefde kan vervang wat in elke stap ingaan nie.
As jy 'n bottel Ina Lessing oopmaak, proe jy nie net konfyt of blatjang of piekel nie. Jy proe die tyd wat opsetlik, met sorg, daarin gegaan het.

Dankie dat jy dit waardeer. Dankie dat jy ons deel van jou tafel maak.

Watter Ina Lessing-produk het al lank 'n plekkie in jou kombuis?

Die waarheid kom...

My kinders, luister tog na my
en d**k hieroor, en bid daarby...
Dat elk' kan wis,
wàt waarheid is.
..nie nodig om onsself te breek
om te bewys (voor wie, vir wat?)
dat daar genoeg 'goed' in ons steek.
Hý ken ons hart in liefde - laat
die waarheid kom
vir elkeen.
..nie minderwaardig as elk sy
beperkings insien en bely
en binne sy talente bly -
dis hoe die Heer ons stuur en lei.
Die waarheid kom
vir elkeen.
..nié anderman se skulde dra,
deur toe te maak wat oop moet kom.
Dit baar net kwaad én maak dit groot -
stoot van die wal af in die sloot.
Die waarheid kom
vir elkeen.
..my sonde is my eie skuld -
Mý daad, mý verantwoord'likheid,
Mý plig en mý aanspreeklikheid.
Wil ek nie hoor nie, sal ek voel...
Dié waarheid kom
vir elkeen.

Laat ons mekaar in liefde help,
terug na Gód's liefde, Sý gebod.
Ons' almal vondelinge tot,
in Hóm, die volle Waarheid kom
vir elkeen wat
opreg dit soek.

Dis Hý wat gee wat elk' moet dra,
wat insig skenk, aan dié wat vra -
dat élk kan wis,
wat werklik is...

"My kinders, laat ons nie liefhê met woorde of met die tong nie, maar met die daad en in waarheid.
En hieraan weet ons dat ons uit die waarheid is; en ons sal ons harte voor Hom gerusstel,
want as ons hart ons veroordeel, God is meer as ons hart, en Hy weet alles."
(1 Johannes 3:11-24)

This is good for men and women! If I can give you a tip 💡- when you strain your Rosemary Oil, start the next bottle...👍

I also prefer Sweet Almond Oil, and I can't help myself when I put the Rosemary in the bottle to crush it a bit.

How can you work with Herbs an not release that amazing fragrance 🤔🤩❓️ The IMPORTANT thing is - use what you have, if you have Olive Oil use that.

You can even buy a small bottle of COCONUT at the Pharmacy - that WILL work. You only have to store it in a warm place in colder weather.

In my posts I share what I've done and what I have tried. You can add Bergamot Essence to your Oil when you apply it. As well as, add Bergamot in your Shampoo.

If you are in 🥵 Menopause, Peri-menopause, having hectic PMS symptoms affecting your hair, or especially for the men struggling with thinning hair and it could potentially reverse baldness.

Its not a given - depending on how long you've waited, your weekly hair care routine, your diet, your health, supplements you take, smoking, alcohol use, Prescription meds... the list 📝is long.

🌻But this will be a good time to try and make a list- what can you take control of again?

🌻Where is your general health heading?

🌻What changes can you make?

🌻Starting with your hair could give you the boost you need!

THIS MONTH, I have decided to share various tips on HAIR HEALTH. What I do, what I've done for years - thus, for me - tried and tested...

On second thought, I will continue until I have shared all my tips. Because winter lies ahead and we are going to need to give extra feed and care.

I will be sharing various NATURAL and CHEAP HAIR - Remedies, masks, feed, DYE (natural, not chemical), supplements in the form of Teas and even how I cut my own hair. ✂️

For months I was in denial on how Menopause ravaged my body, not to mention my hair. 😬
It's bad...
After a hectic fall out... my new hair growth is Gray.

This weekend I am considering to cut my own hair and to dye. Because I haven't dyed for almost 2 years and gray is more prevalent I might have to dye twice, 7 days apart and mix a batch that I have never used before...

What I love about dyeing with natural dye is that you get a very natural looking dye that lifts out your natural tones beautifully.

Start looking around in your garden or container planting if you live in a flat - you dont need to buy herbs. Ask around... instead of just asking someone- BARTER.

SWOP them with something they want or help them with something they need done.

I really do hope you enjoy the video and find it interesting and inspiring.

🤷‍♀️ You wouldn't know if you don't try.

My hope is that you will enjoy the content I share and that it gives you the courage to try.

‼️Disclaimer:

💢 I'm not a Specialist and you should always do your own research and talk to your Medical Practitioner in charge of your Medical care.

💢 Always test a small patch, either your scalp or hair before applying everything broadly all over.

If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen holding a jar of infused rosemary oil wondering… “Okay, now what?” — this video is for you.Today we’re taking that simpl...

I do... and I am happier because of it!
The Word says that we must become like the little children if we want to inherit the Kingdom.

Om geloof te hê soos ń kind,
te sien met die oë van ń kind,
te d**k soos ń kind.

Baie keer d**k ek dit is om ń sagte hart te hê...
ń Hart van vlees.
Onaangeraak, of nie aangetas deur dinge in die wêreld nie!

Om EENVOUDIG te wees, to be simple - beteken nie "common" nie. Voor die wêreld die vrugte van die Gees probeer afbreek en verwoes.

This works! Actually with any plant which stem turns "Woody". I've tried it several times...

Normally I can't grow things from cuttings... but, with this method you can!
