About Me

Long time, no blogpost. The reason for that is that my boyfriend and I moved house two weeks ago, and we still don't have internet -.- Above that, there's just sooo much to do in the house and so much to buy (or thrift if possible), and at the moment we still eat from tiny plates using my kids cutlery from when I was a child 😂

Anyway.

After chopping off and donating 30 centimeters of my hair it was time for me to try out new hairstyles to match the shortness of my graduated bob. I do love my new hair length (it's sooo low maintenance and still looks like you've styled your hair, lol), but it was a little bit of a challenge to find a variety of different hairstyles to switch up my day-to-day look.

Here are 8 easy hairstyles for chin-length hair and medium-short bobs :)

I have been using medicinal clay for many years now, and I love it for its detoxifying and re-mineralizing properties. In this blog post I want to show you how to use healing clay for a cleansing face mask as well as for a detoxifying and re-mineralizing drink.

What is healing clay?

Medicinal or healing clay is an edible, natural, mineral powder obtained from loess (a type of clay), and therefore has a slightly earthy taste. Depending on its origin, healing clay contains different proportions of minerals such as silica, calcium, aluminium, magnesium and sodium salts, silicon, iron oxide, manganese compounds and phosphates. Basically, it's dirt!

Externally, healing clay is used for skin problems such as impurities, oily skin, acne, eczema, and skin wounds in general. Used internally, healing clay can relieve heartburn, digestive problems and diarrhea, among other things.

The way medicinal clay works is it pulls toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides) out of your body. What this means is it adsorbs the toxins by producing a negative electric charge once it's hydrated and attracting the toxins to its extensive surface area where they adhere like flies to sticky paper; then it absorbs the toxins, taking them like a sponge. Yay for dirt!
