The Benefits Of Rosewater On Hair

I’ve been using a few different Rosewater brands in my hair for a couple of months, and really like the softness that has been added to my “wiry hard earned silvers.” With straighter hair, it’s also added some body if I also am able to twist my hair into a bun. I like beachy waves!

One of the parts of my new hair care routine is also to wrap my hair in a bamboo cotton hair towel. Much of my hair drying now is from the hair towel, then mostly air drying during the day, and styling with Lilla Rose hair clips. but even if I choose to blow dry, these other two items, the bamboo hair towel, and the rosewater have been serving to protect my hair from excessive heat from the blow dryer.

Lilla Rose released a new rosewater hair hydrosol, and I have to say that is of much higher quality than the other brands I’ve been using. The presence of “real rose” is obvious without leaving a heavy scent–I am scent adverse, even natural ones.

I comb out my snarls, spray the rosewater, massage it in or re-brush, and walk away for a while. I come back to shinier, more manageable, softer hair that I then style.

You can DIY make your own rosewater! But finding organic rose petals and creating the conditions to create the hydrosol and bottle steam drops sounds long, laborious, and not worth the trouble for a 2 oz bottle to me! The hydrosol, when protected in the amber glass bottle from light, will last up to a year. And truly…the only ingredients in this are water and rose petals.

Lilla Rose’s certified organic rose water is steam distilled Bulgarian rose petals, creating a lovely and delicate hydrosol spray in a 2oz glass bottle. It has benefits beyond hair care too! It benefits skin.

Create a lovely gift set of Rosewater, with a swerve or other hair accessory, and a bamboo hair towel or branded brush/comb set to create pampering gift for a lovely lady in your life during a holiday, for a birthday, or other special occasion!

Everything is coming up Roses!

Egg Casserole: Duck Eggs and Riced Cauliflower

There are a lot of opinions about how to have a healthy hair and scalp. Not all of the advice given is based on science or research. Testing for cosmetics and hair products is done by manufacturers selling the product. The FDA gets involved only when there is a problem with a product.

This blog and post contain affiliate links. An affiliate link means that, at no extra cost to you, when you click through a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission which allows this blog to remain active and for LoveLeavingLegacy to give back. 

In my newly published, free downloadable e-book, I list Twenty-Three Tips For seeking a Healthier Scalp and Hair. The tips involve use of hair tools, how to keep the tools, towels, and pillowcases clean, best hair care practices, hair hygiene, and best health care practices in diet.

You can access the free ebook here. It subscribes you to my LoveLeavingLegacy with Lilla Rose newsletter also.

A while back, I posted my recipe for Duck Egg Casserole, which we love and make often. The casserole is super filling, and we love it for dinner. Our duck does lays about one egg/day, so we have this casserole every 12-18 eggs. *chuckle* At least that way, we don’t eat it too often. It’s definitely a high protein meal! It is yummy with a side of fruit salad and homemade bread.

It’s also really forgiving. When we made this the other night, we used 18 eggs instead. Note how they are slightly larger than a chicken egg. And this makes a 15×11 pan of casserole!

This variation substitutes 20 oz of riced cauliflower, chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéd in butter or oil instead of using hashbrowns.

Here is the original recipe with the substitution made:

Ingredients: 

12 Duck Eggs, whisked
24 oz small curd cottage cheese
20 oz riced cauliflower, sautéd with garlic and onion
1 lb turkey bacon crumbled/cooked with one diced onion
16 oz frozen broccoli
3-4 c shredded cheddar cheese
2+ tsp garlic powder (to taste, really. We use a lot more than 2 tsp)
Black pepper to taste
Enough liquid/milk to combine all ingredients together, approx 1-2 cups

Directions:

Stir all ingredients together, adding milk if needed. Pour into 15×11 greased Pyrex casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown around edges and throughout the top, about an hour. Serve with whole wheat bread or rolls.

Serves 8-10.

You might have heard the buzz over in the Lilla Rose Stylists Facebook group. Ok. Probably not unless you are in the group, and I’d for you to be! Enrollment information is here!

But, in all seriousness, Lilla Rose just rolled out a new selling style feature for Stylists called Social Street Fairs. I’m not able to sell outside of Michigan or to sell only to sales tax free states for the time being, but if you join my customer group, you will see what items I have available that you will not find on my website! It is exciting!

 

Here is a preview of what could be there! No guarantees anything is available, and these are only available to my group, but come on over and see anyway!

LoveLeavingLegacy With Lilla Rose and Small Business Saturday 2017

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

I’ve said this before here on this blog, but I just posted on Sassy Direct: “LoveLeavingLegacy with Lilla Rose is a small family business. At vendor events and Style Boutiques, I work alongside my children. They really are the Why  behind the reason we do the business, and it’s not just to increase our family time. I use my small Lilla Rose business to teach my children hands on practical business skills as part of our homeschooling program. We also use our business to fundraise for waiting children with Down syndrome. (and we currently have a fundraiser Lilla Rose Style Boutique open for that!).  It also allows me to continue to stay home, and to look to the future. I want to be available to my children as they begin their own families, or to help them as they need it. I also want to do short term missions and to travel. So, building the business now is for our family and for my marriage! It is for our future, and planning for it begins now! “

That being said, I do a lot of our business online. The children aren’t really part of that side of the business. I blog on Sassy Direct, on LoveLeavingLegacy, and manage social media business building. I supervise a growing team of Lilla Rose Stylists.

During this #shopsmall #smallbusinessSaturday, a business doesn’t get much smaller than a family based website business! There is no store front to visit other than a website, the blogs, or the social media outlets! But that shouldn’t discount personalized customer service and attention to detail one usually gets from shopping small!

So come join me (us!) as we offer you personalized customer service while you #shopsmall with LoveLeavingLegacy with Lilla Rose hair accessories!

It includes one each of the following styles: Extra Small Bow Flexi, Small Celtic Knot Flexi, a Roses Hairband, with Brunette Elastic, a Chain for converting the hairband to a necklace, an 8 pack of Classic Nickel Bobby Pins, and a Swerve Single Upin in nickel. These items are also sold separately, just not for the fabulous limited offer of $34 at 60% off. 

If you are seeking to create your own bundle, the Adora flexi clip is still 30% off, and the Victoria hair band is 10% off. These two look absolutely stunning together, and would be a classy gift combination!

If you are seeking the holiday BLING, consider the $4/pair Crimson Joy bobby pins! Pair those with the 10% off Crimson Joy flexi clip, hairsticks, and/or Upins, and you have created your own gift set!
