Homemade honey cinnamon nutmeg mask

Yesterday I decide to pamper my self with this cinnamon, honey, nutmeg mask and it was wonderful.
These spices are not just for flavoring your baking, it's also anti-inflammatories and great for soothing skin. Nutmeg and honey act as natural anti-inflammatories {reduces swelling and redness in skin}. They’re also great for soothing acne scars and preventing infection.In addition, the nutmeg and cinnamon also work to exfoliate your skin when you wash this mask off.” Thank you collegefashion.net for this info which is actually where I found this.
Recipe:
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp honey
Direction: mix all ingredients in a bowl, it will form a thick paste, it will be little gridy, apply mask to face and leave on for 30 minutes you will sence a little tingling, remove with warm water. Apply moisturizer immediately. Your face will have a shine and soaft as a baby's bottom.

Food and supplement that help build your brain


Red Wine:

Wine and health is an issue of considerable discussion and research. Wine has a long history of use as an early form of medication, being recommended variously as a safe alternative to drinking water, an antiseptic for treating wounds, a digestive aid, and as a cure for a wide range of ailments including lethargy, diarrhea, and pain from child birth.[2]

Ancient Egyptian Papyri and Sumerian tablets dating back to 2200 BC detail the medicinal role of wine, making it the world's oldest documented man-made medicine.[3] Wine continued to play a major role in medicine until the late 19th and early 20th century, when changing opinions and medical research on alcohol and alcoholism cast doubt on the role of wine as part of a healthy lifestyle and diet.

In the late 20th and early 21st century, fueled in part by public interest in reports by the United States news broadcast 60 Minutes on the so-called "French Paradox", the medical establishment began to re-evaluate the role of moderate wine consumption in health. Everything in moderation, women should drink five ounces of red wine per day, which is equivalent of one glass of wine, and for men is two glass of wine per day. Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red wine and dark chocolate, has long been associated with the prevention of heart disease and other health benefits.For moderate drinkers, medical research indicates moderate wine consumption may lower the mortality rate and risk of heart disease.[medical citation needed] Studies have shown that moderate wine drinking can improve the balance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad" cholesterol) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL "good" cholesterol), which has been theorized as to clean up or remove LDL from blocking arteries.[27] The main cause of heart attacks and the pain of angina is the lack of oxygen caused by blood clots and atheromatous plaque build up in the arteries. The alcohol in wine has anticoagulant properties that limits blood clotting by making the platelets in the blood less prone to stick together and reducing the levels of fibrin protein that binds them together.[28][medical citation needed]However these anticoagulant properties of wine only stay in the system for a maximum of 24 hours after consumption.[medical citation needed] While having a glass of wine the night before may lower the risk of having a heart attack the next day, there is still the potential of long-term effects of alcohol. These anticoagulant properties can also be amplified adversely by binge drinking, with the individual becoming over-anticoagulated and at increase risk of a stroke or heart

Autumn




I love this time of the year, it's warm and full of color. It will put a smile on your face even when you don't feel like it. I enjoy picking up the fallen leaves from the grounds as I walk in the morning, it reminds me of how creative God is and how much he love's us.
