How to Use Herbs : Rosemary

Hwello there. We have talked about rosemary and its uses in a previous post. If you haven't read it, please click here: Rosemary

Now I shall provide some spells, tonics, recipes and etc on where you can utilize it. Let us begin :)

Author's Note: From I noticed a part is usually a teaspoon. You can add more according to your needs, but I would always start with that measurement first.

Alchemist Formula for Binding:

One part benzoin gum (Saturn, binding)

One part patchouli (Saturn,binding)

One part Solomon's seal (Saturn, protective)

One part rosemary oil (Saturn, protective)

One part frankincense oil (Sun, success)

Mental Focus Magical Tea:

I part rosemary

1/2 part spearmint

1 cup of boiling water

Mix herbs in a small jar

To brew, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of the herbal blend.

Steep for 5 - 7 minute. Strain and drink.

Spells:

Remembrance for Lost Love (Heartache Healer)

6 drops of rosemary oil

3 drops of peppermint oil

1 drop of lavender oil

White candle

Add the oil to the top of the candle, one at a time, in a clockwise direction around the wick.

LIght the candle and gaze into the flame

Visualize your fond memories of the person who left your life. As you do this say, "I thank you for the time we had together, I thank you for the love we shared, I thank you for being an important part of my life. We have parted, we move on, we remember. I wish you the best life has to offer and hope you have found happiness."

Allow the candle to burn out of its own and dispose of the remaining wax away from your home or bury it in the spot you and the past partner enjoyed together.

Broom Cleansing Spell

 Use one or any combination of the following botanicals: broom, cedar,fennel, hyssop, rosemary, sage, vervain.

Arrange the botanicals and tie them to the bottom of a branch withraffia, visualizing, charging and knotting. (Any branch may be used,however an ash branch is considered particularly powerful.)

Sprinkle with salted water or any preferred purification formula.

Sweep the area.

Disassemble the broom outside, away from the cleansed space.

 Bury the components in the ground or toss them into living waters, flowing away from you.

Ghost Keep Away Spell (Boundary Line Spell)

Place three peeled cloves of garlic in a bowl, together with one handful of sea salt and one handful of fresh rosemary leaves.

Grind and mash the ingredients together.

Sprinkle them to create a boundary, as needed.

Bad Habits Bath

Add the following to a tub filled with warm water:

Essential oil of clary sage

Essential oil of frankincense

Essential oil of lavender

Essential oil of lemongrass or May Chang

Essential oil of rosemary

Enter the bath and inhale the fragrance, and accompany with affirmations and positive visualizations.

Kitchen Witch Recipes:

Super-Quick Bonus Recipe for Gwion’s Red Onion Pickle Bliss

Fills one pint-sized jar

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes to cool in the fridge

1 medium red onion

3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup water

10 black peppercorns

2/3 cup white wine vinegar,

rice vinegar, or apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 sprig rosemary

1 clove garlic, peeled and halved

Slice the onion very thinly and place it in your clean, dry jar. Set it aside.

Add the rest of the ingredients to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil until the sugar has fully dissolved. Stir carefully so you don’t break the rosemary. The sprig is in there to add flavour, and you’ll discard it before the next step.

Let the pickling mixture (the water, vinegar, and spices) cool down for about 10 minutes. Discard the sprig of rosemary and pour the remaining

ingredients into the jar of onions. Make sure all of the onions are submerged

in the picking liquid. If you have to, use a spoon to push the onions down in the jar. Seal the jar and put it in the fridge to cool. The onions are ready to eat once they are cool, about 30 minutes.

Serve them on avocado toast, burgers, salads, or just with a fork straight out of the jar. Remember to kiss your partner or partners before eating the onions out of the jar, unless they’re into pungent kisses.

Goat for a God: Roasted Goat Leg with Grape Molasses

Great for Deities: Dionysus, Pan and Thor

Serves : 6

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes

1 goat leg (about 3 pounds)

1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon cumin

2 teaspoons black pepper

4 tablespoons grape molasses

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon coriander

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

1 cup white wine + one glass for sipping and toasting while cooking (use mead if you're cooking this for Thor)

1 bay leaf

2 large carrots, chopped into

1" chunks

1 celery root, peeled and chopped into 1" cubes

Open the bottle of white wine or mead and take a hefty drink. (This is optional but deities do like when you drink with them but they can respect if you don't partake.)

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Liberally season the goat leg with salt and pepper.

Rub the minced garlic all over the goat leg too. If it helps, poke a few holes in the goat leg so you can get the garlic right into the meat.

Place the rosemary sprigs and bay leaf in the bottom of a large roasting pan and put the goat leg right on top. Add the carrots and celery root around the edges. Pour the olive oil all over the goat and rub it around. Coat the carrots and celery root too.

Pour the white wine around the bottom of the roasting pan.

Loosely cover with kitchen foil and put the whole pan into the oven for 2 hours.

About an hour and forty-five minutes into the cooking process, it’s time to make the glaze.

Mix the grape molasses—which is a super-condensed syrup made of grape must—in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, the coriander, and the cumin. You can substitute honey for the grape molasses if for Thor.

At the two-hour mark, pull the roasting pan out of the oven and paint the goat with the grape (or honey) and spice glaze.

Pop the goat and veggies, uncovered, back into the oven for another 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145° F.

When you’re ready to serve this dish, scoop the veggies into a bowl (fornow) and put the goat leg on a platter. If you have access to one, get a cedar plank and serve the goat on it.

Medical Tonics and Infusions:

Infusion- An infusion is the simplest way to prepare the more delicate aerial parts of plants, especially leaves and flowers, for use as a medicine or as a revitalizing or relaxing drink. It is made in a similar way to tea, using either a single herb or a combination of herbs, and may be drunk hot or cold.

Pot Infusion

For a cup:

1 tsp (2–3 g) dried or 2 tsp (4–6 g) fresh herb (or mixture of herbs) to a cup of water

For a pot:

20 g dried herb or 30 g fresh herb (or a mixture of different herbs) to 2 cups (500 ml) of water

Warm the pot, then add the herb.

Pour in water that has just boiled, replace the lid, and infuse for 10 minutes.

Strain some of the infusion into a cup. A teaspoon of honey may be added if desired.

Storage:

Store in a covered jug in a refrigerator or cool place for up to 24 hours.

Tonic Making

Standard Quantity:

200 g dried or 300 g fresh herb chopped into small pieces to 1 quart (1 liter) alcohol—vodka of 35–40% alcohol is ideal, although rum hides the taste of bitter or unpalatable herbs

Standard Dosage:

Take 1 tsp (5 ml) 2 –3 times a day diluted in 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp (25 ml) of water or fruit juice.

Place the herb in a large, clean glass jar and pour on the alcohol, ensuring that the herb is covered. Close and label the jar.

Shake well for 1–2 minutes and store in a cool dark place for 10–14 days, shaking the jar every 1–2 days.

Set up the wine press, placing a muslin or nylon mesh bag securely inside. Pour in the mixture and collect the liquid in the jug.

Slowly close the wine press, extracting the remaining liquid from the herbs until no more drips appear. Discard the leftover herbs.

Pour the tincture into clean, dark glass bottles using a funnel. When full, stopper with a cork or screw top and label the bottles.

Storage:

Store in sterilized, dark glass bottles in a cool dark place for up to 2 years. An amber glass jar is the best option.

Sorry this post is so long @_@ But please enjoy and use wisely. Bye byes~

Chapter Warnings: Explicitly mature content, 18+ only, talk about masturbation, separation angst,

Series Masterlist 

Series Summary:

You are neighbors with Austin Butler on the Gold Coast of Australia just prior to shooting Elvis. You become just friends because he is taken. However, after he is single again, you both find out just how attracted you are to one another and things get unrelentingly hot.

SERIES WARNING: Explicitly mature content, 18+ only,  here there be lemons.

Authors Notes: I started writing this while remodeling my kitchen, so that informed the slightly quirky narrative. It starts slow, but once it heats up, it is on fire. I have tried to pull facts from RL as much as I could, but obviously there are some assumptions and flat out dreamy wishes  involved here. 

Chapter 38: Letters from the Ice

8.25.2020

Hey babe! 

So, yay email! Hopefully this will work for us. :) But the internet is SO SLOW. Even with barely anyone here it took 10 min for my email to load. I am told by the winterers that trying to upload a video is all but impossible. But a picture *can* go through. Thank the local deity that we don’t have to super old school it and use carrier penguins! Yay! Well we finally made it to McMurdo. I can’t believe it’s been a whole month since I’ve seen you, well except for the phone calls in Christchurch. It feels like the band aid is really ripped off now. I’m just trying to breathe through it. I hope you are staying busy or at least distracted. I am excited to finally be here after 5 days of delayed flights as is the rest of my group. We’ve taken to calling ourselves a flock. I have no idea why. So I’ve got a room all to myself right now, but we’ll see how many people show up for the mainbody season in October, I may or may not have a roommate. So, there I was trying to get settled and I opened my big suitcase and found the books and the dark chocolate and the candles and the little bottle of essential oil blend. Fuck it smells like you. It made me cry and smile at the same time. Thank you baby. This is a classic pic me in front of the station sign. It looks darker than it was, but we only had 4 hours of sunlight and there was a storm coming. Wow, I thought I'd been through blizzards at home. This was nothing compared to what they got here! I’d send you a photo. But it’s literally just white.

I do have a confession to make. You remember that freakin’ hot phone sex we had during my quarantine? Yeah… um.. I recorded the audio, yup, every time. I’m gonna listen to your amazing voice telling me to touch myself. I think I’ll lube up my butt plug you gave me and push it into my ass imagining it’s you. Fuck I miss you. I miss your body next to mine at night and your cock in me in the morning. I love you Aus, I miss you. All the kisses for you. ~Your Kitten

8/26/20

Kitten!!!  I’m so stoked that we still get to keep in touch. Even if only over email. That pic of you in front of the sign feels surreal. I can't even tell it's you with all the layers! The landscape looks so desolate. I’m so glad you found my gifts, that’s just stuff I don’t like to live without, kinda like you. I’m not liking living without you. Although I’m STILL finding post-it notes. You little fiend, putting them in all my clothes. Makes me smile and cry too. I did get some exciting news though. Baz, as you know, has been checking up on me since you left. I really love him, he is such a marvelous soul. Anyway he told me yesterday that we will start rehearsals next week and filming is slated to start up again in mid to late September. Thank God, I gotta have something to focus on other than this empty apartment. I’m just waiting for the rest of the crew to get back in country, then I’ll be too busy to think. Also, I’m gonna talk to your Uncle Roy this week and make sure I can still stay here. Baz says the studio will give me a stipend for the apartment and I’ll just pass that along to him. That reminds me, Kate said she had not seen anything related to us from Marissa’s channel and that she would be willing to have a meeting with her, but she won’t make any guarantees. I have a confession too, I went and developed those couple rolls of film we'd taken. It was so fucking sad that you weren’t there to play with while I waited for them to dry. Anyway, You know how I wasn’t sleeping in our bedroom yet? Well, I put the photos I took of you up all over our bedroom and it finally let me sleep in there alone, although I might’ve cried myself to sleep just a little. When I woke up hard I had those gorgeous pictures of you in that black dress to jerk off to. Fuck you are hot and fuck I miss you so much. Oh my god, just reading that you are fucking your ass with my butt plug has me hard, you are such a naughty Kitten. I might have to keep track of how naughty you are and punish you accordingly when I see you next. I wish you were here to suck this hard cock right now. I think when I finish I’ll stroke myself while looking at those closeups of you and imagine your luscious lips wrapped around me. I’d send you a pic of it, but I’m terrified it could get out somehow. I love you more, I miss you terribly, only 187 more days to go.. Roughly. ~Your Aus

9.20.20

Hello my love,  So how’s things? Are you ready? I’m so excited for you to start filming again. You got this babe! I believe in you! (forehead kisses) There were satellite issues again when I tried to call you last night. I’m so sad we keep getting hosed on our phone calls. Soon you’ll be too busy to take a call from me! We are pretty solidly in the groove of our workday, that’s 6 days a week. I’m on the day shift right now and it’s been a bunch of maintenance checks and rebuilds on buildings and answering calls for service. There is a big build that got delayed due to covid, but we will be starting on that pretty soon. The food is surprisingly good. The galley really loves their themes. Taco Tuesday, Asian Nights, Sunday Brunch. The pizza is pretty good too! It’s not a woodfired oven made by the hands of angels good, but when you want pizza, it’ll do. Made a good group of friends, though we are all weird misfits here it seems. Do you remember when people had to talk to each other instead of stare at their phones? It’s like that here, since there isn’t wifi, not that it would work right. It’s amazing how old school it feels, it’s kind of wonderful. Probably sounds like torture to you my shy, introverted darling.

Most of the people here are guys. It’s like 70/30. I’m the only woman in my department, not like that’s new to me. The first day I showed up for work the foreman asked if I was in the wrong place. They tried to give me shit at first until I out-hammered them all in a nailing race. Just a dumb little competition thing. But it stopped them from fucking with me. Yeah, I know my stuff assholes! Lol! Now we are all good. Except for Joe, I do not like Joe. He just rubs me wrong and won’t let the girl thing go. We may have to have a little come-to-Jesus meeting during which I emasculate him with the claw on my purple hammer! The other women I’ve met have also been surprised by the overall disappointing behavior from some of these guys. There is a saying on the ice- “Antarctica: Full of badass women and mediocre men.” This is true. Not all the guys are that way though, some of them are nice and those are the ones that get laid. Yeah, there are a lot of hookups happening and there are free condoms, like, everywhere. No one here is as interesting or as sexy as my man though. Plus, you spoiled me with not having to use condoms. I miss your skin on mine, I miss your lips on mine, I miss your cock in my mouth. Since I don’t have a roommate yet, I think I’ll light your candle, put on the sexy music playlist we used to fuck to and add some of that EO to my wrists. I’m going to suck on my dildo. I’ll start slow just licking the tip, I’ll imagine your hand in my hair and your sky blue eyes watching every flick of my tongue. I’ll make sure my lips are good and wet before I slide it down my throat. And I’ll be fucking myself with my vibrator, the one that's curved. The only thoughts I'll have in my mind are ‘it’s your cock in my mouth, it’s your hand on my pussy, it’s you, it’s you, it’s you’. I’m gonna cum so hard, moaning around your imagined cock in my mouth, I may have to do it twice. God I miss you. Tell me more about how you jerk off to pictures of me, that is so damn hot. I’m just imagining you stroking yourself, playing with the tip a little. Damn. ~Your Slutty Kitty

 9/22/20

My bad, bad Kitty, I do not know how you do it, but are you aware of how fucking sexy you are? Even just via email you get me so riled up. How do you take the mere 26 letters of the alphabet and make them into these sexy fucking pictures in my head?! I miss my cock in your mouth too, I miss you laying out on the bed with your legs wide and my head buried between them. I don’t have anything to lick and pretend is your pussy, but I promise I will make up for it when I see you next. Oh lord I gotta go take care of this massively hard co

9/22/20

Hey love,  Sorry, I hit send without meaning to! You got me so hot I wasn’t thinking clearly. It didn’t take me long baby, I used that coconut oil from just before you left. The scent totally put me right back there with you on your knees devouring my cock. That reminds me, I need to get that dress dry-cleaned… It’s stopped smelling like you now so… I suppose it’s time. I’m ready- ish, the last 6 months made me feel like all the Elvis sunk into my bones. I’ve been working like a fiend with Baz and Polly and Irene and Erik. They have all commented on how it’s different now, more natural. My day is so full of Elvis again it’s hard to think about anything else. I’m so nervous all over again. I’m waking up at 3 again. I miss you. Not just for the sex baby, but you. You make me better. Please keep trying to call, my PA on set will have my phone when I don’t. I put one of your pics up in my trailer, btw, one of the clothed ones. I kiss my fingers and touch it every time I leave and say hello to it when I come in. People that see me do it still don't know who you are, (Baz and Tom are good secret keepers). That last article with the pics of you and I at the airport really threw them all off. I think Kate told me that the paps were searching the passenger lists for all outgoing planes to Europe that day to see if they could figure out who you were. It's fun to keep them guessing. I totally get the hooking up, happens on set too. People are people. I’m not worried about you Kitten. How’s your demon though… she doin’ ok? Getting out of hand at all… pun intended! Ok, early call in the morning. I love you so much. 160 days +/- ~ton Roi

10.11.20

My darling man,  FUCK I am still riding the high from talking to you last week! I can’t believe I caught you in your trailer too! I’m sorry I couldn’t play sexy games back with you because the phone was too public on my end. I loved you telling me how you were stroking yourself though and how you came on your stomach. I went right back to my room, to rub one out. Damn. Luckily my new roommate was at work. She asked me when she moved in why I had a pic of you and me on the wall by my desk. I told her I was in love with you. It was so funny, she sat down on the couch and started talking about you like we were in middle school. ‘ He’s so dreamy and I hear he broke up with his girlfriend and is dating a French woman!’ “was that the only time you met him?” Oh my god, it was all I could do to not laugh in her face. I’m sorry baby, I had to tell her. I hope you aren’t mad! I still don’t think she believes me, even after I showed her pictures of us (appropriately clothed of course). I appreciate you asking after that sexy bitch in my head. She is doing fine, staying on her lead. None of these people would satisfy her anyway. She’s too far gone for you. :) My daily horniness level has chilled out since I’ve not been getting fucked by you on the regular, though there are times! Oh and fun news! I’m going to be setting up a few field camps in a couple weeks, so I won’t be in touch much after halloween -ish. But I WILL be out on the literal ice. Think warm thoughts for me! At least I will get away from Joe! He is still a dick.

~your naughty Kitten (for different reasons)

10/12/20

Kitten,  Of course I’m not mad! Once you are back I want the whole world to know that you are mine and I am yours. Also, Kate set up a meeting with your cousin Marissa. I talked to her and got her info when I talked to Uncle Roy. (He still refuses to let me pay him.) Kate was impressed by her and is planning on offering her a paid internship. Love you baby, go conquer that ice! ~Aus

(Please read the following letter with a deep southern accent of yore) Twenty fifth day of October in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty My darling Austin, I pray that this electronic mail finds you healthy and hale. I have been feeling dashed about by the trials and travails of my good work here on the deep continent. We no longer are a sleepy little hamlet of a mere 200 people. Oh no! A veritable influx of learned people hath arrived, swelling our little cold town to over 800! The light has arisen indeed as we currently receive a joyful 15 hours of sunlight each blessed day. My dear roommate Tabitha seems to have accepted the love that exists between us, my dear Austin, since she overheard our delightful conversation on the telephone a scant few days ago. Indeed it seems she has spread our information to the other members of the kitchen staff as one of the good ladies asked me about it the other day as I procured my nourishment. The person in question didn’t know you, but was happy to know I was dating someone, since apparently the rumor had been circulating that I was a person uninterested, sexually that is. The very idea! My darling Austin, I shall be leaving in two days time for my quest on the ice. It will be my pleasure to erect structures providing temporary shelter from which the good men and women of science may illicit new and exciting information about this oft times perplexing world that humanity calls home. And before you query, yes, I must confess my dear Mr. Butler, I have been imbibing in the devil's drink and yes my loins still burn for you. Pray for me, dear man, that I may endure such hardships that may come and be delivered forthwith into your awaiting arms. With all my love and tenderness. Miss Kitten P.S. Sorry about drunk-as-fuck girl up there, she is just being silly. Can’t wait to fuck your brains out again! Love you -She Demon

10/26/20

Kitten,  You are so weird. I fucking love it and you. I’m so glad you are mine. Filming is so far so good. I barely have time to think, which is perfect. Also, I was eating a mango in the kitchen last night. You know how you cut the side off and score it then turn it inside out? Well, I decided just to eat it off the rind like that, instead of cut the chunks out. And all of a sudden it was like eating your dripping pussy. I am slightly ashamed to say that I dropped my pants right there and jerked off with the coconut oil. The juice was dripping down my chin and chest and onto my cock. Oh, My. God. It was the best one yet. I’ll have to do it for you (to you?) when you get back. Needless to say, a whole new world has opened up to me. I WILL be buying more mangoes. I may not be able to see one without getting aroused from here on out. I think I’ll go have the other half now…

Good luck doing bang! bang! construction things on the ice! Stay safe and warm. I’ll talk to you when you get back. Forever yours- Austin

10.27.20

Aus-  Oh, Mangoes… Damn. Now I fucking want mangoes. Freshies are like currency down here, I haven’t seen a mango though. Just so you know, that last letter was a bet between me and Tabs. We did karaoke that night and I got a little sloshed and started talking in accents. She didn’t think I would do it. Lol! I tried calling you a few min ago, but no answer. I’m leaving in an hour. I’ll email and try to call when I’m back! Oh and come to find out that Joe thought he was flirting with me the whole time, he likes me. Was about to pull my pigtails, I suspect. Boys are so weird. I confronted him and he confessed he was crushing on me pretty hard. I told him about you ( not by name) and that I wasn’t available (plus I would fucking break him). He seems to have backed off and will hopefully treat me like a person. So yay! Growth! Love you tons, Tally ho! Kitten

10/28/20

Darling,  It breaks my heart that I missed hearing your voice. I really needed it too. We filmed some gut wrenching stuff this week and I just needed you. I love you, I love you, I love you. Austin 124 +/-

 11.22.20

Sweet, sweet man, I love you too! I’m sorry you had a tough week and I wasn’t there for you. I promise after this, I will never be more than a text away from you again. I hope it’s gotten better! I’m going to try calling tonight when I get off work. Thank god I’m back though! We had a crazy, crazy time. We got caught in a freak storm at Amundsen-Scott. We were supposed to be there for like a day to get supplies and such. We ended up there for 5 days! But after that things cleared up, it was amazing. We set up 5 different camps. Everything from simple temporary polar escapes on wooden platforms to actual shelters that will have to stand up for the rest of the season if not longer. One was at a penguin rookery! They were adorable and came right up to us! Miss you love, hopefully we will talk soon! ~Kitten

11/23/20

Babe,  Those pictures with you and the penguins are unreal! I can't believe they just walked up to you. It blows my mind that anything can live down there. How are things with Joe? Did he actually change his behavior? I would say ‘do you need me to come down there?’ but I know you got this, my amazing, strong sexy beast of a woman. I hope I can pick up when you call next. Missing hearing your voice broke my heart. ~Aus 98+/- (Why is this taking so damn long! You should be in my arms.)

 12.14.20

Dear darling Austin, Thank god we got to talk last week, I was really worried about you. Digging into the pain about your mom… I just wish I was there to hold you tight, like she would’ve been. I know I didn’t know her, but from everything you’ve said, I know I would have adored her. (hugs, hugs and more hugs) I got your package yesterday! I opened it without thinking, thank god all the things in it were wrapped! Except for the mangoes… fuck baby. They are perfectly ripe right now, if a little frozen. I’m gonna go eat some mango pussy. Would you like that? watching me eat pussy….

Did you get my package yet? It might be a bit silly. But you can open it when you get it. :) We have been digging into this new building since I got back. The guys worked on all the steel pieces and I’m lead on the framing team. It’s definitely different from what I’ve been used to doing. But I’m finding that all my skills are actually helpful because I know the pieces that come next, so I don’t let the crew fuck things up for the electricians and plumbers and drywallers that will be coming behind us in the future. I miss you baby, I know we keep saying that to each other, so much that it’s like saying something over and over again and the shape of it feels odd in your mouth all of a sudden. But even though I have made great friends here and am in a routine that pulls me from day to day, it would be perfect if you were here with me. With you on my arm, no one would try to pull my pigtails! Love you with all my heart ~Kitten

12/25/20

Baby Doll,  Merry Christmas!! Babe, I did get your package, and I didn’t open in until this morning. Why would you say it’s silly? It’s amazing. You painted this? I am going to take it in and have it framed so I can hang it up. Wow. If you ever wanted to stop doing construction, you could be a professional artist. Tom and Rita have invited a bunch of us up to their place for dinner. I’m about to go get ready but just wanted to tell you that yes, I get it. Saying it gets old, but it doesn't mean we don’t feel it still. Yeah, mom would’ve adored you right back. I fucking miss you. I fucking love you. And holy fuck yes on watching you eat pussy, mango or otherwise.

66 days +/- (can we make time move faster?) ~Your own personal elf- Austin

12.25.20

Dear Austin,  Merry Christmas!! I loved your gifts, they are perfect for here! Lip balm and sunscreen and the warmest, silliest socks. That mini humidifier is sitting on my bedside table as we speak! The running gloves for under my big ones are going to be a game changer! Now I can do fiddly bits without my fingers getting cold! Although it’s a ridiculously balmy 25 degrees Celsius out there right now. I don’t even bring my red parka out right now! Today I joined the Antarctic Polar bear club. Yup I plunged into barely above freezing water in my underwear, no not the unicorn ones, I actually had some polar bear ones I brought just for this! I was nothing if not on theme! It was fucking cold. And exhilarating! But I’m not sure I want to do it again. Luckily we went right into the sauna to warm up! Love you ever so much, give Tom and Rita my love! ~Your Xmas Kitten

1/1/21

My sweet Kitten, Thank you for the phone call, oh my god I needed it. I’m feeling so worn out, even though we kinda had this week off and I’ve been just sleeping as much as I can and going to the beach with other cast members, it’s just not the same without my best girl next to me. (that’s you, btw) I wish I had you with me last night to kiss. I did end up kissing Olivia, but it was just a new years eve peck thing, plus it’s not like we’ve not kissed on set. Is that weird for you? I’ve never asked you about it. Love you so much, it hurts. I def need a kiss on my heart. 59 days +/- ~Yours, Austin

Austin, When I see you, you are gonna get all the kisses on every part of you. Real talk babe: where I’d like to be there to remind you what my kisses are like and reap the benefits if you get turned on, kissing on set doesn't bug me, that’s just part of acting. Didn’t Elvis kiss like all the girls in the audience? Super-spreader much? Ha! TBH, I pecked a few people too when we counted down to midnight. How do you feel about that? Wow, that looks super passive aggressive. I’m def not meaning it that way. Just wondering cuz we’ve never talked about it and I don’t think our games with Loki or ‘the guy from Brisbane’ count as talking about it! Now actually making out with someone like not for work (that’s a crazy sentence right there!)… that we’d def have to talk about. I mean… mostly because I would want to be a part of something hot like that. FOMO!!! On a different note, I sang in Icestock last night. It’s the annual McMurdo music festival. There were comedians and skits and mini plays and bands and a chili cook off! I sang a bunch of stuff with some guys, we had to rehearse on our off time but it was super fun! I had my buddy video it. I’m gonna put it on a USB stick and send it to you, just for fun! There is some other stuff on there too, just for you, including my polar plunge! God we needed a party too. The grind was getting to us all. Yeah we have 24 hours of daylight, but I never knew I’d miss the stars so much! We are about to head into Vessel Season, that means extra people in town, mostly Kiwi and US military, to help unload the massive supply ships. From what I understand we will be pulled to help. I love you baby, soon hunny, soon I miss YOUR kisses ~Kitten

 1/8/21

My darling love, Happy Elvis’ birthday! He would've been 86. We had a huge birthday cake on set today. I don’t really care about pecks like that, plus you are too French for me to get up in arms about that. I do feel the same way you do about making out. If you are gonna make out with someone, I want to be there too. If it’s a girl, I def want to be there. That would be hot. We filmed a kissing scene today between young Elvis and younger Priscilla. It really made me miss you so much. I definitely channeled our first kiss into the work. Remember, on the couch? This might be weird to say, but no one kisses me like you do. Love and miss you, 52 days +/- ~Aus

1/25/21

Kitten,  Honey, I have a confession. We were rehearsing one of the big shows where Elvis goes into the audience and kisses all the girls. I had to talk my own demon out of taking home an extra and fucking her silly. She looked just enough like you and she was staring at me all dreamy eyed when I was on stage. Then I had to kiss all these women in the audience and I was all worked up. I’m sorry babe, know that I didn’t do anything or even talk to her. But we talked about being honest with one another and I feel better with you knowing. No I’m not asking if I can do anything with her, it was just like a perfect storm to turn me on. Honestly I’ve been too exhausted and terrified to really feel horny lately, so it kinda took me by surprise. I’m so sorry if this makes you mad. Know I love you and I’m not gonna do anything to screw up what we have. ~Austin 35 days +/- (I can wait, I swear)

1.26.21

Babe,  Love you, not mad. Will respond more when I have time! ~Your best girl

1.31.21

Ok my love,  First of all, I’m sorry this took so long to reply to. It’s been so busy here I’ve not had time. Secondly, I’m not mad. You are human, despite your intrusive thoughts to the contrary. Being attracted to people is just a part of being human. It actually feels really good that you were comfy enough to tell me how you are feeling. Thank you for trusting me. I have this ideal thought in my head that I’d want to be cool with a sorta semi-permeable relationship. Like yeah, making out with a women with you would be hot… fuck I think making out with a man with you would blow my fucking mind. (would you be down for that? Kissing a guy?) But I know I’m not cool with either of us just fucking others at will, at least not when we are this far away. How could you reclaim me, or I you, when these miles exist between us? Share someone with you? Sure, but we need to actually sit down and talk about it face to face. When I'm back and we’ve talked and you and I have had our fill of one another, if that girl is game and we get along… I’m down to try it out, baby. If you are even interested in that. There are a few cute Airmen here, but my demon seems to be slumbering. Remember, the less I get the less I want it. It could also be the fucking 10-12 hour days we’ve been putting in! Which is VERY different from fucking 10-12 hours a day.  Remember our first 72 hours? Damn that was amazing. I love you baby, now and forever, Your lover- Kitten

2/4/21

Amazing woman of my dreams,  How are you so fucking cool, do you know how hard I had to work to get my other gf’s to be cool about kissing on set, let alone talk about sharing a person. This whole thing makes me love you even more. How do I feel about kissing a guy? I think it depends on the guy. But it doesn’t squick me out or anything. Honestly right now, if it meant getting to hold you in my arms, I’d do it and more in a heartbeat. And for the record, I don’t think I could ever ‘get my fill’ of you babe. I love you so much, 25 days +/- (is that fucking real, only 25 days???) Devoted to you- Austin

2.25.21

Babe,  Oh my god! I am so done helping unload and reload ships! Give me my fucking hammer and let me pound something! So I have some shitty news. Y’know how, on the phone we were talking about my departure date being end of February and being back with you by March 1st. Well, I got my departure date, it’s not until March 10th, and I can’t move it up. They even offered me a bonus to stay overwinter, but I declined. As cool as it’s been I need to get off the ice and into your arms. So I won't be back on the Gold Coast until March 12th at the earliest. I don’t know if I have to quarantine. I have to arrange for my stuff to be shipped to Greece in that time as well. You say you have to leave for London mid March. I’m freaking out that I might miss you. I’m gonna try to call tomorrow so we can talk about it. Fuck this sucks, Love you so much ~Kitten

Finding Your Perfect Match: The Best Natural Deodorants for Women

Are you tired of the harsh chemicals found in traditional deodorants? You're not alone! More women are turning to eco-friendly personal care products that align with their values and cater to sensitive skin. In this guide, we’ll explore the best natural deodorant for women available today, focusing on their formulations, scents, and suitability for sensitive skin. Whether you're an eco-conscious consumer or a health enthusiast, this comprehensive resource will help you find your perfect match.

Why Choose Natural Deodorants?

Best natural deodorant for women has gained popularity for good reasons. They promise the same freshness as their conventional counterparts but without potentially harmful ingredients. Many conventional deodorants contain aluminum, parabens, and artificial fragrances, which can be irritating. Natural deodorants offer a safer alternative, often incorporating gentle ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oils.

Choosing a natural deodorant is not just about avoiding chemicals. It's a lifestyle choice for many women. Eco-conscious consumers appreciate that these products are often packaged in environmentally friendly materials. Health enthusiasts are drawn to products that support their wellness goals. And for those with sensitive skin, natural deodorants can be a game-changer, reducing irritation and providing gentle care.

Opting for natural deodorants also means supporting brands that value sustainability. Many companies producing these products focus on ethical sourcing and manufacturing processes. This commitment to quality and the planet resonates with today's informed consumers who seek transparency and authenticity in their beauty products.

Understanding Key Ingredients

When selecting the best natural deodorant, understanding key ingredients is crucial. Coconut oil, for instance, is a popular choice for its antimicrobial properties, which help combat odor-causing bacteria. Shea butter adds a moisturizing element, keeping the skin soft and smooth. Essential oils not only provide pleasant scents but also offer additional benefits, such as soothing irritation or enhancing mood.

Baking soda is another common ingredient in natural deodorants, known for its ability to neutralize odors. However, some people with sensitive skin may find it irritating. In such cases, magnesium hydroxide or activated charcoal can be excellent alternatives, providing odor control without the potential for irritation.

It's important to note that the best natural deodorant for women may require a transition period. Your body might take a few weeks to adjust, but the end result is worth it. During this time, you might experience increased perspiration, but this is temporary as your body detoxifies from conventional deodorant ingredients.

Top-Rated Natural Deodorants for Every Woman

Finding the best natural deodorant for your needs involves considering your preferences and skin type. Here are some top-rated options that cater to a variety of requirements:

Schmidt's Natural Deodorant - Known for its effective odor protection and natural formula, Schmidt's offers a range of scents derived from essential oils. It's vegan and cruelty-free, making it a favorite among eco-conscious consumers.

Native Deodorant - This brand is praised for its simple ingredient list and wide range of inviting scents. It's free from aluminum and parabens, providing reliable protection throughout the day.

Kopari Coconut Deodorant - Featuring coconut oil as a star ingredient, Kopari's deodorant is ideal for sensitive skin. Its light coconut scent is refreshing and tropical, evoking a sense of beachy bliss.

Each of these brands offers a unique blend of ingredients and scents, ensuring there's something for everyone. By experimenting with these options, you can discover the perfect match for your lifestyle and preferences.

Tailoring Deodorant Choices to Sensitive Skin

For individuals with sensitive skin, finding the right deodorant can be challenging. Fortunately, several natural options cater specifically to sensitive skin needs. When choosing a product, look for formulas that are free from baking soda, which can be irritating for some people. Instead, opt for options that include soothing ingredients like chamomile, aloe vera, or calendula.

For example, Freedom Natural Deodorant offers a gentle formula that's free from harsh chemicals, providing effective odor control without causing irritation. Another great option is Primal Pit Paste, which uses arrowroot powder and magnesium to keep you fresh without compromising comfort.

Always perform a patch test before committing to a new deodorant. Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours to ensure there's no adverse reaction. This precaution can save you from discomfort and help you find the ideal product more efficiently.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness in Personal Care

Switching to eco-friendly deodorants is not just about personal well-being; it's also about supporting a healthier planet. Many natural deodorant brands prioritize sustainable practices, from sourcing ingredients responsibly to using recyclable packaging.

Brands like Rise are leading the charge in eco-friendly personal care. Rise offers deodorants packaged in biodegradable cardboard, reducing plastic waste significantly. Ethique takes it a step further with solid deodorant bars, free from plastic packaging altogether.

By choosing these products, you contribute to reducing environmental impact while enjoying effective personal care solutions. It's a win-win for you and the planet!

Navigating the Scent Spectrum

One of the joys of exploring natural deodorants is the vast array of scents available. From invigorating citrus to calming lavender, there's a scent for every preference. Choosing the right fragrance can elevate your daily routine and complement your personal style.

Consider your lifestyle and scent preferences when selecting a deodorant. If you prefer a subtle fragrance, opt for something with gentle floral or herbal notes. For an invigorating boost, citrus or minty scents can provide a refreshing start to your day.

Experiment with different scents to find one that resonates with you. Many brands offer sample sizes or travel kits, allowing you to try various options before committing to a full-sized product.

Debunking Myths About Natural Deodorants

Despite their growing popularity, natural deodorants are often misunderstood. Some myths suggest that they are less effective than conventional options, but this is far from the truth. Natural deodorants work by neutralizing odors rather than blocking sweat, allowing your body to regulate temperature naturally.

Another myth is that natural deodorants don't provide long-lasting protection. While there may be a transition period, once your body adjusts, these products can offer all-day freshness. It's important to reapply if needed, especially during hot weather or intense physical activity.

By debunking these myths, more women can feel confident in making the switch to natural deodorants. The benefits far outweigh any misconceptions, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional antiperspirants.

The Role of Packaging in Sustainable Choices

Packaging plays a significant role in the sustainability of personal care products. Many consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases and seek products with eco-friendly packaging.

Opt for natural deodorants that use recyclable or biodegradable materials. Brands like Wild and By Humankind offer refillable options that reduce waste and promote sustainability.

By choosing products with thoughtful packaging, you contribute to reducing plastic pollution and promote a cleaner environment. It's a small change that can make a big difference in the world.

Supporting Brands with Shared Values

When selecting natural deodorants, consider supporting brands that align with your values. Look for companies that prioritize sustainability, ethical sourcing, and cruelty-free practices.

Brands like Lush and Ursa Major are committed to creating products that are kind to both consumers and the planet. By supporting these brands, you contribute to a more ethical and sustainable beauty industry.

Researching a brand's ethos and practices can help you make informed choices that resonate with your values. Together, they can create positive change through conscious consumerism.

Transitioning to Natural Deodorants: What to Expect

Transitioning to natural deodorants might require some patience as your body adjusts. Initially, you may experience increased sweating and odor as your body detoxifies from conventional products. This phase typically lasts a few weeks but can vary depending on individual factors.

During this time, stay hydrated and wear breathable fabrics to minimize discomfort. Reapply your natural deodorant as needed, especially after exercise or during hot weather.

Once you've made the switch, you'll likely notice a positive difference in how your underarms feel. Natural deodorants promote healthy skin and allow your body to function naturally.

Conclusion

Switching to natural deodorants is more than just a trend; it's a lifestyle choice that aligns with health, sustainability, and personal well-being values. By choosing the best natural deodorant for your needs, you can enjoy effective odor protection without compromising your health or the planet.

Explore the options mentioned in this guide and consider experimenting with different scents and formulations. Remember, the right deodorant is out there waiting to become a staple in your daily routine.

For those interested in further exploring the world of eco-friendly personal care, consider joining online communities or following beauty bloggers who share tips and recommendations. Together, they can promote a healthier, more sustainable approach to personal care.

Pre Natal Massage

Your Secret Weapon for a Blissful Pregnancy

What exactly is prenatal massage? Simply put, it’s a specialized type of massage therapy tailored specifically for pregnant women. The main goal? To help you relax, ease those aches and pains, and generally make you feel really good when you need it most

Why You Might Want to Give It a Try

Now, you might be thinking, “Do I really need another thing on my pregnancy to-do list?” Trust me, this is one item you’ll be glad you added. Here’s why:

Stress? What Stress? Prenatal massage is like hitting the pause button on all that stress. It helps lower cortisol and boosts feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine. The result? You’ll feel calmer, more relaxed, and better equipped to handle whatever pregnancy throws your way.

Goodbye, Aches and Pains Let’s face it – growing a human can be uncomfortable. Your back aches, your hips hurt, and your ankles swell. Prenatal massage can help alleviate these discomforts, targeting those sore spots and helping you feel more like yourself again.

Sleep Like a Baby (Before You Have One) If you’re tossing and turning at night, prenatal massage might be your ticket. By helping you relax and easing physical discomfort, it can improve your sleep quality.

Swelling Edema is a common pregnancy complaint. Prenatal massage can help stimulate blood and lymph circulation, potentially reducing swelling in your legs, ankles, and feet.

Emotional Wellbeing Boost Regular prenatal massages can help boost your mood, reduce anxiety, and even lower the risk of depression. It’s like a mini vacation for your mind and body.

When to Start and How Often to Go

So, if you’re sold on the idea of prenatal massage then you need to make a start. But when should you start, and how often should you book the sessions? Most experts recommend waiting until the second trimester to start prenatal massage. Why? Well, the first trimester can be a bit touch-and-go, and it’s generally best to wait until things have settled down a bit.

Once you hit that second-trimester, aim for a massage every two weeks. As you move into the third trimester and things get a bit more uncomfortable, you might want to up it to weekly sessions. But remember, every pregnancy is different, so listen to your body and your healthcare provider.

Choosing the Right Oils for Your Massage

The right massage oil can make all the difference, and when you’re pregnant, you want to be extra careful about what you’re putting on your body.

Carrier oils are the base of any good massage oil blend. Some pregnancy-friendly options include:

Sweet Almond Oil: Great for all skin types and super moisturizing.

Jojoba Oil: Mimics your skin’s natural oils and absorbs easily.

Coconut Oil: Perfect if you’ve got dry skin (plus, it smells amazing).

Avocado Oil: Another great choice for dry or sensitive skin.

If you want to kick things up a notch, you can add a few drops of essential oils to your carrier oil. But proceed with caution – not all essential oils are pregnancy-safe. Some good options include:

Lavender: The ultimate relaxation oil.

Chamomile: Great for calming both mind and body.

Ginger: Can help with nausea (hello, morning sickness relief!).

Always check with your healthcare provider before using essential oils, and make sure they’re properly diluted in your carrier oil. If in doubt, just leave it out.

Safety First: What to Know Before You Go

While prenatal massage is generally safe for most pregnant women, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Choose a Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist: This isn’t the time to hit up your regular spa. Look for someone who’s specifically trained in prenatal massage techniques.

Position Matters: You’ll likely spend most of your massage on your side, supported by pillows. This position is safe for you and comfy for baby.

Communicate: Let your therapist know about any discomfort, and don’t be shy about asking for adjustments.

Avoid Certain Areas: A good prenatal massage therapist will know to avoid certain pressure points that could potentially stimulate contractions.

Check with Your Doc: If you have a high-risk pregnancy or any complications, get the all-clear from your healthcare provider first.

What to Expect During Your Session

Alright, so you’ve booked your first prenatal massage. What can you expect? Here’s a quick rundown:

Comfort is Key: Your therapist will help you get comfortable, usually on your side with plenty of pillow support.

It’s All About You: The massage will focus on areas that typically bother pregnant women – think lower back, hips, legs, and feet.

Pressure Check: The pressure will likely be gentler than what you’re used to in regular massages. If you want more (or less) pressure, just speak up!

Duration: Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, but some places offer longer options if you’re feeling indulgent.

Hydration Station: Drink plenty of water before and after your massage to help flush out toxins and keep you hydrated.

DIY Massage at Home

Can’t make it to the spa? No worries! You can still reap some of the benefits of prenatal massage at home. Here are some tips for you a partner/friend/relative.:

Use gentle, sweeping strokes on the back and legs.

Focus on areas of tension, like the lower back and shoulders.

Use a tennis ball to gently roll out knots in your back (just avoid the spine).

Don’t forget your feet – they’re doing a lot of extra work these days!

Remember, home massages should be gentle and relaxing. If you’re unsure about anything, check with your healthcare provider or a certified prenatal massage therapist.

When to Skip the Massage

As amazing as prenatal massage is, there are times when it’s best to take a rain check:

If you’re experiencing severe morning sickness

If you have any bleeding or spotting

If you’re at high risk for preterm labor

If you have high blood pressure or preeclampsia

If you have any sudden, severe swelling

When in doubt, always check with your healthcare provider.

The Bottom Line

Prenatal massage can be a fantastic addition to your pregnancy self-care routine. It’s not just about pampering yourself (although that’s a nice bonus!) – it’s about taking care of your body and mind during this incredible journey.

Remember, every pregnancy is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. Listen to your body, talk to your healthcare provider, and do what feels right for you. Whether you’re booking regular spa sessions or having your partner give you a gentle foot rub at home, any form of prenatal massage can help you feel more relaxed, comfortable, and connected to your changing body.

So go ahead and at least give it a try?

Jasmine Bliss: Transform Your Lips with Nature’s Most Luxurious Balm

Lip care is a crucial part of any beauty routine, but it's often one of the most overlooked. Our lips are delicate, lacking the oil glands that keep the rest of our skin hydrated, making them especially prone to dryness and cracking. To keep your lips soft, supple, and healthy, it’s essential to use the right products—and a jasmine-infused lip balm might just be the perfect choice.

Why Jasmine Lip Balm?

Jasmine is more than just a beautifully fragrant flower; it has powerful benefits for your skin. When used in a lip balm, jasmine offers both hydration and healing properties, making it an ideal ingredient for maintaining lip health.

Jasmine oil is rich in antioxidants, which help to combat the effects of environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV exposure. These antioxidants work to protect your lips from damage and premature aging, ensuring they stay smooth and youthful. Additionally, jasmine’s natural anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for soothing irritated or chapped lips.

The calming scent of jasmine also plays a role in its appeal. Aromatherapy has long utilized jasmine to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Applying jasmine lip balm not only nourishes your lips but also provides a subtle mood boost, making it a treat for both your senses and your skin.

How to Maximize the Benefits of Jasmine Lip Balm

To get the most out of your jasmine lip balm, it's important to incorporate it into your daily routine correctly. Start by applying the balm regularly, not just when your lips feel dry. Consistent use helps maintain moisture levels and prevent dryness from setting in. Applying jasmine lip balm before bed is particularly effective, as it allows the balm to work overnight, ensuring you wake up with soft, hydrated lips.

For even better results, consider exfoliating your lips once or twice a week. Dead skin cells can accumulate on the surface, preventing the balm from fully absorbing. Use a gentle lip scrub or a soft toothbrush to exfoliate, then immediately apply jasmine lip balm to lock in moisture and promote healing.
