Today is tea Day. Fall has arrived in Oslo and it's getting colder. Lucky I'm prepared as I harvested leaves and some berries to dry and make this years garden-berry tea. I gathered green leaves from blackberry, black currant, red currant, wild strawberries Melissa and added in a few berries too. I let the green leaves air dry on a rack in my kitchen. I dried the berries at 70 degrees Celsius in the oven. When the leaves was dry I crushed them and added the crushed leaves and dry berries to a glass jar with an airtight lid. If you enjoyed this recipe for homemade garden berry tea, maybe you'll like my recipe for peppermint tea from the garden too. You'll find it HERE. ...
DIY Kaffe peeling
🇬🇧English👇🏻 Hei og god mandag! Idag tenkte jeg å dele oppskrift på en finfin hjemmelagd peeling-krem lagd av sheasmør, kokkosolje, eteriske oljer og kaffe. Hvordan er det med sommer-huden din? Er den klar for høstlige dager eller er den litt tørr og bitt av sol og bading og sommervarme? Det er aldri feil å skrubbe av litt døde hudceller for å gi huden fin glød og mulighet for dannelse av nye, friske hudceller. Denne hjemmelagde skrubben er både skånsom, effektiv og gir god næring til huden. Visste du at kaffebønner inneholder mye fett som er kjempebra for tørr hud. I denne peelingkremen er det også frankincense eterisk olje som beskytter cellene og er veldig bra for huden, hjelper mot arr og elding av huden og copaiba som forsterker ...
Instant sunshine popsicles ☀️
Peppermint-Melissa tea popsicles with Caramelised kumquat Wow! How cool is that?!? To make popsicles of tea made from your own homegrown garden herbs!! I love herbal tea made of peppermint and Melissa - it’s fresh, cooling and uplifting. It works perfect both as warm tea and ice tea, so if you have some leftovers after making tea in your tea pot, don’t throw it away! And as a bonus melissa and peppermint both have some wonderful medical properties. Soothing, calming, antibacterial, supporting digestion and so on. So, I got this idea it might be yummy to make iced tea popsicles. I had a few kumquat from my friends greenhouse and I wanted to use these for something fun. Citrus are all uplifting and works as instant sunshine. So this ...
Canned Yellow hot chilli peppers 💥
🇳🇴👇🏻 Chilli peppers are some amazing and stunning "fruits" and plants. They come in sooo many different types and shapes and colors ... I'm always stunned when I realise there are even more chillies out there I even didn't know existed. Now, I have this wonderful friend and neighbor - and almost every summer I get the pleasure and honour of looking after her garden and greenhouse when she's off for vacation. Her greenhouse is filled with tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and chilli of all kinds. Needless to say I looove soaking in all this borrowed goodness. And even better; she is the kindest and most generous person I know .... so she tells me I need pick veggies and herbs and flowers and chilli 🌶 while "babysitting " the ...
Kirsebærsaft 🍒 cherry “lemonade” syrup
English👇🏻 God mandag!! Jeg håper du har hatt en riktig god helg. Jeg har kost meg med aktiviteter som gjør meg glad og gir energi. Jeg har vært sammen med familien, venner og de jeg er glad i, og jeg har høstet og syltet og saftet og tatt vare på gaver fra naturen og hagen. Det gjør meg alltid utrolig glad når jeg ser at frukt og bær og grønnsaker modnes og vi kan bruke det til å lage ting som vi kan glede oss over på kjøkkenet. Idag har jeg lyst til å dele min oppskrift på kirsebærsaft. Jeg har et lite tre med sure kirsebær i hagen og i år ga det lille treet så mye bær at det ble 5 flasker saft. Hurra! Kirsebær er veldig takknemlige bær å lage saft av. Saften blir god, vakker farge og den holder seg godt. Selv bruker jeg en ...

Natural spray for natural beautiful looking hair
A few days ago I went to a party with some girl friends - it was so good seeing them and we chatted like girls do ... you know like talking about everything from saving the world, to every day life, kids, lifestyle... and then all of a sudden one of the girls complimented my hair. It made me so happy! Actually quite a few people have complimented my hair lately... and it's not because I just came out from the hair dresser ... because I didn't. So I thought maybe it's because I actually have hair now ... something I didn't two years ago when I was totally bold after chemotherapy.... maybe it's because I've grown my hair longer this year? But no. She told me my hair looks so youthful, shining and fresh, like I was 20 or something. So she made ...
DIY softening Foot salve
I love walking barefoot during summer feeling the grass or the soil or the sand under my feet makes me feel grounded or somehow closer to nature. Are you a barefoot walker? Does your feet get dry and does the skin crack during summertime? Maybe your feet need some love and care ? Today I want to share my favourite homemade foot salve with you. I definitely need to give my feet some extra love from time to time ... I mean they do a great job carrying me around all day ... and the skin gets dry and cracks if I don't take foot soak, use the foot scrub and use my footsalve. Cracked skin on the heel comes from dry, dead skin cells building up, so it's important to scrub the feet well before adding the salve. This salve is made from 100% ...
