Lavender water

Hello! Is anyone still out there? Sorry I have been away for so long. It's been hectic, with work, baby making and all that.

You'll be pleased to know my IBS is much better. I have given up totally on anything even closely resembling a diet/ detox/ considered eating plan and am just eating what I fancy. Even rice is on the list since I discovered when I starting reacting to it and have now decided it wasn't about the rice, it was about an emotional episode in my history.

Anyway, to keep it short and sweet today as I procrastinate from my work, I have a little recipe for you.

It's for lavender water and someone who reads this introduced me to it years ago on a trip to Australia and I made up the recipe.

You'll need:
1 spray container (you know like the ones you have indoors to spray plants)
several drops (10 probably for a 500 ml bottle but determine the level of scent you like best - start with a few drops and keep adding in) of lavender essential oil (or a mix of your favourite oils, such as geranium and lavender, lemongrass and lime, rose....)
a few drops of good quality vodka (not to swig, but to preserve your oils)
good quality water (In london that means Evian or similar, in Canberra, it means straight out of the tap)

So, put the water, oil and vodka in the spray container and presto! You have a wonderful, refreshing, natural, cleansing spray to liven up your bed linen, towels, furniture (check to make sure it's OK). Just spray a fine mist whenever you fancy.

Enjoy!
