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!

Eight Gift Ideas For Hanukkah With Lilla Rose Hair Jewelry

Here are eight combinations of hair jewelry accessories, using the flexi clip, hair band, upin, bobby pin, and hair stick selections, that ladies and girls can mix and match to create bundles for gifting or to coordinate with a Hanukkah celebration dress or outfit.

  1. The Tree of Life silver flexi clip and the Pearl hair band are a classic look. The Tree of Life gold tone flexi clip is also available, although might not pair as well with the Pearl hair band alone.
  2. The Pearl hair band and the Tiffany hair sticks are also a classy vintage combination.
  3. The Victoria hair band paired with the Arwen dangle flexi clip would be filled with sparkle while remaining a classic.
  4. Goldie hair band could be used in a hair band roll with Gaddiel or Open Leaves bobby pins, or the brass tone bow flexi clip.
  5. Since up to three Lilla Rose hairbands bead strands could be attached to one elastic, how about pairing the Sparkling Silver and Crystal hairbands by twisting them together, and using the Claire dangle flexi in a bun or French twist, or even a half up?
  6. The Crystal hairband also pairs nicely with Winter Wonder flexi clips on a blue or blue and white plaid scarf or in hair. The upins are also a dazzling accessory for a half up or whole bun or twist too.
  7. The Antique Gold upins and Gold Cluster hairband are also a lovely combination.
  8. There are also badge clips in limited supply which are beautiful gifts, perhaps for those ladies who work with children or are synagogue greeters as a show of appreciation.

Any of these products are great stand alone gifts, but the mix and match combinations are also limitless. There are other style designs on the Lilla Rose website to consider as well, including the Aviva braided leather and hair stick clips, or upins.

Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish customers and friends.

As always,

Blessings,

Deb
