I have tried this hair mask "Syoss - Nutrition oil care" and my hair is more soft and smells like flowers. So I am truly happy with the purchase.
Anyway I want to share with my readers something interesting I have found on the internet. It could be useful if you care about your hair!

Foods For Hair growth

Thyroid dysfunction can be a cause of hair loss. If that is the case, then eat foods rich in iodine and vitamin A. Eat vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, mustard, soy beans, peanuts, pine nuts, spinach, turnips and oils such as flax, walnut or pumpkin seed.A low-fat diet can help in slowing down the baldness process in men. A high-fat, meat-based diet raises testosterone levels, and that may adversely affect hair follicles.

If you are anemic, then take iron rich foods.

Foods high in protein. can encourage hair growth. Foods high in protein include cheese, beans, lentils, yogurt, brewer's yeast, soy products, eggs and fish. Soy protein stimulates hair growth, so eat tofu and drink soy milk, which are good sources of soy protein.

Silica can slow hair loss. Use silica shampoo. Silica is found in potato skin, peppers, cucumbers, bean sprouts, etc.

My favorite gem

"Amethyst has the ability to transform lower vibrations into higher resonance and act as a healing energy at all levels of mind, body, and spirit.  Amethyst is universally considered to be a powerful superconductor crystal.  It is scientifically proven to deliver the steadiest most absorbable long wave far infrared rays for healing"

Rainy day

It's raining outside so I will spend the afternoon cleaning the house and later watching "The new adventures of Old Christine" and "How I met your mother". *lazy*


Only for portuguese people: For tarot readings you could contact me by email or message on facebook and I'll answer as soon as I can!

Wish a good day to my readers.

Because I could not stop for Death – 
He kindly stopped for me –  
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –  
And Immortality.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility – 

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –  
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –  
We passed the Setting Sun – 

Or rather – He passed us – 
The Dews drew quivering and chill – 
For only Gossamer, my Gown – 
My Tippet – only Tulle – 

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground – 
The Roof was scarcely visible – 
The Cornice – in the Ground – 

Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads 
Were toward Eternity.

In some rituals you could also anointing the candles with special oils. These oils you could buy in every magic shop or you could make your own.
I have a very interesting book of Scott Cunningham (The complete book of incense, oils and brews) which explains all that process of making oils, inks and herb baths. If you have any interest in that topic you probably should buy it.

Herb recipe II

This morning I woke up at 5am with a weird feeling about today. Guess I was right! Have no inspiration to finish some works and also have one book report to do.

Well, here is a mixture for nervous cases like hysteria from a book of Raymond Buckland:

Nerve mixture:
Tine, of Pimpernel—Vz oz.
Mint Water (Menths virdis)—iVz oz.
Tine. Valerian—1 dr.
Comp. Tine. Cardamon—Vz oz.
Mix well. Dose: 2 tablespoonsful, 3
times a day.

Valerian is easy to find in every herbal store but I warn you the smell of valerian is not so good anyway that's very effective.

If you find the mixture too difficult you also could make just a simple valerian tea.
