How to Create a Beautiful and Effective Facial Toner with Lavender

← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Let’s connect to nature

To make this facial toner was one of my most favourite things this summer. To cut the lavender, which I grew in my garden, felt and smelled amazing.

To bundle the lavender and to hang it up to dry feels like just a joy. And then you have some weeks to look at the lavender bundles decorating your home and enjoy their magic in your rooms.

Once they are fully dried, the little flower pedals start to come off the branch, so you’ll know when it’s time to process them. 🙂

I had two relatively small bushes of lavender this year and decided to make the facial toner and keep some of the lavender to put into my bath, which is another thing that makes me incredibly happy, each time I do.

The only other ingredient you need for the facial toner is vinegar. I used a nice white wine vinegar.

You simply put some of the dried lavender in a jar and cover it with vinegar, and then you let it sit for some weeks, shake it occasionally and see how it slowly to turns pink.

You can see my results below. It works super well to cleanse the face.

INGREDIENTS Lavender Facial Toner:

a handful of dried lavender & white wine vinegar to cover

Instructions:

  1. Pick lavender
  2. Hang lavender up to dry.
  3. Once dried, put lavender into a jar and cover with vinegar. Close jar.
  4. Let the jar sit for at least two weeks, gently shaking it regularly.
  5. Filter out lavender and fill into bottles.

Apply and enjoy your new facial toner!

I love flowers. And flowers love me.

And I really don’t know if I could live without them – they can improve our lives in so many ways.

I picked this recipe for the PURPOSE chapter because lavender corresponds with our colour for this month, purple, but also because I believe it’s part of our purpose as humans to see ourselves as a part of nature and the natural world again.

And making a nice facial toner infused with the magic of real life flowers, no artificial preservatives needed, is a wonderful way to practice that.

I hope you enjoy!

Ritual: Connecting without Recreational Drugs

Let’s make new friends – while being sober.

Drinking alcohol seems like such a normal part of the lives of many. Just looking for stock photos of ‘friends’, it’s difficult to find pictures without alcoholic beverages in them.

We get offered free drinks at restaurants, and often people act as if you are insulting them, if you don’t choose to have a drink with them. But we don’t have to be an alcoholic to not want to drink. We may simply wish not to cause unnatural highs and lows, that don’t serve us.

How can we overcome loneliness? 🩷

Let’s explore more of what we are wishing for and see how we can overcome loneliness – individually and collectively.

Because we do all need each other. Friendships can bring us closer to our shadows, and they can help us heal. More friends are not necessarily better than a few good ones – and in the end, it all boils down to what we really wish for.
What’s that for you?

What would an ideal friendship look like for you?

In this lesson, we think about friendships past and present and what makes them great and also what makes us great friends.

And then we also look at the different friendship archetypes to see how to make sure that we are covered in all areas when forming new friendships now.

Why does it get easier when we self-actualize together?

All problems in our world can be solved by raising our consciousness.

Because the higher the consciousness, the more we realize we’re all one, and that we all benefit from rising together, from helping each other to thrive as our unique selves.

So, in today’s lesson, we are going to explore this and how we can support each other in practical ways.

How to set our intentions

Let’s look at how to set our intentions for ourselves and to support others with theirs.

Setting intentions and supporting others with theirs is a spiritual practice as well, as it can teach us how not to limit ourselves and others, and it can help us to act in non-judgemental loving and supportive ways.
