knob galore

hello and welcome to my blog. I would aprear that I have two blogs, please go to eleneetha.blogspot.com
sorry about the confusion, I must have done something weird and now it is what it is.
Ha! Like my whole life:)
Hey, everything is going our way.
Be smart and be aware of yourself and do not be afraid of the truth.
It will set you free.
thank you

the best bath in all of time and space

doesn't really exist because the combinations are endless. You can add salt or shea butter or herbs or clay.
Today this blend took me away, made me feel safe and I smell amazing now without added oil or butter.
1 Tablespoon 50/50 shea/ avocado oil
3 drops neroli
1 drop sandalwood
10 drops patchouli

Allow the oils to melt with the hot clean bath water and then sink yourself in there. I used patchouli soap in addition to the oil blend. You can use any soap you deem fit.
Have a nice bath and relax your heart and mind.
thank you

propolis

Big talk about a simple little healer. Propolis is a resinous goo which which is used as a sealant in the hive. and so much more. made up of about 50 constituents, mostly resin, waxes and essential oils. Highly anti fungal and super amazing as no two hives make up the same composition of propolis and taking the vibration of the flowers where they live. And speaking of vibes, propolis reduces the amount of vibration in the actual vibration in the hive..so cool.

the rabbit better to be like bunnies

It is all about the home and family and raising our children with some sort of integrity.
Now with the full moon we can reflect on what we have brought to this moment from the last cycle and from the past much further back.
The idea with The Rabbit is that one must remain humble and enjoy each moment.
Be happy not for what we have but how warm we are with our company and how we impress others with our behavior.
We are delicate like bunnies too so this is a perfect year to eat more salad. Eat one salad for a meal. Eat some kale with lemon and take a little apple cider vinegar with your salad. It is a perfect way to reflect on the Year of The Rabbit~

Anastasia's Super Fine Garden Salad
chop up organic lettuce
organic broccoli
organic kale (not too much)
organic carrots
one sweet onion (organic)
fresh organic parsley
a few basil leaves
cracked black pepper
olive oil
apple cider vinegar
50/50 (remember you want to get the apple cider in you, not necessarily make a salad dressing, besides kale loves acid..it is perfect)
sea salt of choice..I love Celtic right now!

Be well
OOXX

we're getting ready

we're getting ready
we're so excited
everything is wonderful
and feels brand new
even though we worked
we studied
we tried
we learned there are no favorites
only truth and the third eye
look with in
yes, there in your self
and get to know that power
which guides you day and night
and feeds every hungry cell with knowledge and light:)

by me
little ""a in this case because I am not a writer, I am a soap maker, what do I know?


I know soap making and that is enough for me.
I make potions because I like oil on my skin and since it is still cold and I can ship butters until May, I aim to make some skin potions and butters which hopefully knock your socks off.

Today I begin with some neroli and pink grapefruit oils.
The cream is shea butter and avocado oil based with a little beeswax to hold them together. Not too much, just enough to make a cream.
And when was it that you said no to neroli with grapefruit (pink that is)? Always open and always bright and cheery. I like honest and I love no fear and no tears!
this is what I want for you and me.
Facing frightening situations with and open mind and fearless heart.
Eating properly prepared foods crafted by someone who loves you not some 16 year old kid in a fry factory.
Use good and natural cleansers, for your house cleaners and your sacred bod.

Crazie Annie's Floor Cleaner

1 Tablespoon soap suds ( basil soap in my home) gets rid of old unnecessary stuff and lets new money in. What could be better?
* I usually make the suds in my hand and fill my bucket with the rinse water, the whole idea being making a soap solution of some sort.
1 Tablespoon orange oil
a few drops basil oil
a good splash of vinegar (apple cider)

Add more water if you need to.
Start with the East part if your house.

I like this so much that I am going to make a soap just for cleaning your home with 100% extra virgin coconut oil:)
Have a good day!
Thank You
Anastasia

come to me part two

The last time I made a come to me potion, I was inspired by Mystic Medusa (my favorite astrologer), and it was good but I really should have connected better with the blend. You know make it something I would love to use. I went all out and blended something with the traditional "love" oils, rose, ylang, patchouli, and i put some carnation in there too. It was lovely, but I find that when I make soap just for my muse so to speak, it always lacks something.
This time I followed the recipe like a pig and made both soap and potion.
Equal parts of rose, sandalwood, cinnamon bark and few drops frankincense to hold her, to lead her in to accepting all her boons.
Yes, I said boons.

The recipe is 36 oz extra virgin cold pressed olive oil
13 ounces extra virgin organic coconut oil
11 ounces water
10 mls each
rose sandal,patch, cinnamon~
20 drops frankincense

Make it yourself if you want to but I have these spectacular bars right here right now.

may you use one to accept all your gifts with grace and worthiness
may you follow prosperous paths
may you have a shield of psychic protection

Thank you.

Saturn retro again?

Wow, is this planet going to settle in Libra and be content? Have you noticed lately that you are constantly being met with fiscal challenges?
Face it head on honey. Get organized and get your little beautiful ancient and new little bottles of oils straight and bless every single thing you already have.
This is the best time to greet each day without fear.

Here is my message today from TUT;

Hypothetically, if you'd like to be able to spend $1,000,000 a year, Anastasia, perhaps on yourself, or maybe to shower upon your favorite charities (incidentally, either will have me beaming), don't you think as part of defining the end result you ought to know just how much you'd be spending, on average, per day? I mean, you wouldn't buy a car without peeking through its windows, would you? The details are crucial. You owe it to yourself to make sure it's exactly what you want.

$2,739.73.

Right. Not nearly enough.

See what I mean?

Think bigger -
The Universe


This is just one thing Mystic says;

If peeps try to push your boundaries, you hold fast, but stay tranquil. This is the whole
point of set-and-forget boundaries.
www.mysticmedusa.com

I just love mystic. She is brilliant to me and her daily horoscopes are delicious!



I am going to organize the shop a bit more this year. Some my old ideas are coming back to me now. I love soap making and I love scrubs and I love butters and oils. I love Argon oil and Marula oil.
People will ask me now and again, "why don't you make that purple lavender soap anymore?"
I had one which I stamped with the word "lavender", it was really cool. I lost it somehow and now I am pondering on carving one of my own. Yea, it will look gnarly but so what..I am an eccentric, right?
The purple thing, no. I like the soap to take on the glow of the oils and the color of the botanicals. I mean, remember that nettle soap? It stayed green all the way. The jasmine blood orange is almost purple, it is so interesting.



Gods and goddesses have been pushed, pulled, shoved, tugged, and finally, ignored, they are still remembered whenever the seasons change.
The moon is going dark and I am all about the pomegranate.

It Isn't Just The Moon

We know that living in a tower is no place to be unless of course you have a flash flood coming through your whole neighborhood and devastating all at once.
There is your precious house you have been cleaning like a mad woman or there, there is your collection of creams, essential oils, your car and house, down the river.
That is Saturn Pluto for you.
I learned a long time ago of Pluto's effects. How there can be destruction. Pluto is about desire and any means to attainment for some. For others Pluto is about facing loss and being graceful about it. How does Saturn come in to play?
Saturn in Libra is more like an antagonist in all this. On the one hand you have the ability to organize your life and on the other you must also face facts and come up with a better plan. Especially if you are dishonest somehow. Every action you take and every word you say will effect your next..and so on and so on:)
And talk about opportunities to really expand your understanding. It comes out of nowhere and you are suddenly in an all knowing moment.
"I thrust my higher mind to guide me always"
Thank you

the moon

is doing weird stuff right now and causing some heated thoughts. It is ok to say what is on your mind and make a place for yourself in the world.
There is such a surge of energy and feelings are out of control. I am thinking it is better to give in and just do your job. Even if it means giving up facebook to wash the dishes.
I love facebook. It gives me a chance to communicate with people that like the same things I do, mostly :)
To me someone I haven't physically met who is in Australia making seaweed cream the real way and writing about it seems fascinating. Or to read a fine story which someone posted makes me happy while I drink my breakfast blend coffee.

Anyone having skin issues? Figures as Saturn makes his way through Libra...we're talking Libra stuff; kidney, lung, skin too:)
Get some arnica gel and see how it soothes your skin. I like this one with st. johns wort and white willow bark. This one is really good and you'll find it easily at any health market. Whole Foods has it.

It is my favorite thing right now besides DHA. If you have a job like mine where you run all day, DHA may be something you could try. It helps you focus, especially if you are hormonal in any way. I don't know about you, but dang, sometimes I run out of mental steam.

Mask:
ground calendula
white clay
organic ground oats
equal measures of each and
a few drops eucalyptus

Speaking of which, calendula~ What a nice thing she is, this flower of power. Bright, "sunny rich" with the smell of sumer. Healing to sensitive skin and surprisingly, she is a rich sourse of Lutein. Good for the eyes, lutein is! (again related to kidney lung)

http://www.etsy.com/listing/58870730/ravintsara-rosemary-soap-with-calendula

organic cold pressed coconut oil
high quality olive oil
calendula infused in olive for a duration of time
calendula essential oil
eucalyptus essential oil
a splash of rosemary and essential oil of ravintsara

Now take a shower with some good soap, will ya!
OOXX
