Arabian Nights

Here's something I wrote for the holy month of Ramadan which will embrace us soon.

Arabian nights our magical time

Arabian nights come when needed most,

A spiritual enlightenment enforced by oath

A sacrifice of the day but increased blessings by night

Our body martyred for our spirit to take flight

A deep sense of belief in our religion heightened

Families come together in unison and bonds tightened

We speak of the holiest month of months

When our holiest book of books had been revealed

How lucky are we to open those verses that to others are sealed

Arabian nights warm with whispers of angels

Arabian nights fierce with the mercy of god

We might not be those who live day to day as we should

But deep in our heart he is there and we are understood

The Aroma of childhood memories of celebration

It’s the time we get them back out of isolation

The time of pure hearts and innocent thoughts

The time of selfless sacrifice and true heritage

Arabian nights when all wickedness are behind barred doors

When we are offered changing tides and sins are washed off our shores

We aspire to be better in our heart

And every year we are given a clean start

We welcome you Arabian night with open arms

Soon to be Ramadan Mubarak to all

Avo Good For the Heart and soul and not to forget Style

So all of a sudden I’ve acquired a fascination for Avocado pears, we heading for winter in beautiful South Africa and seeing these wonderful fruits at our every turn it gave me the inspiration for this Beauty tip!  Yes, not for the belly but for beauty.

Ancient Aztec, Mayan and Inca Beauties believed that the avocado fed the skin from without as well as within. The elegant Avocado holds a treasure of vitamins, minerals and natural oils.

Consider these nutriments in the avocado: Vitamins A, C, E, iron, potassium, niacin, pantothenic acid and its natural emollients. Plus protein not usually found in fruit. And no cholesterol, of course. Avocado skin color will vary from season to season

Avocado skin care is completely relevant to today's trend toward the use of natural organic substances. Here is a thoroughly safe, chemically free approach to being more beautiful.

Some are the ancient secrets and others sent from all over the world but here are the favorites. Every formula is easy to prepare in your own kitchen.

The other ingredients, besides the avocado, can be found in most refrigerators or cupboards. Have fun, be natural, and be beautiful!

How To prepare your Avocado For Beauty Care

The avocado you use should be fully ripe. You may store your ripe avocados in the refrigerator, but never put this delicate fruit in the freezer. It might just die of shock.

How do you know when the avocado is ripe? Hold it in the palm of your hand and gently press it with your fingers. A ripe fruit will yield to your touch. It will open easily, peel evenly and reveal its glorious green-gold interior.

When the beauty formula calls for MASHED or PUREED pulp the procedure is quite simple. Peel your avocado (or one-half) and remove the pit. Your avocado can now be PUREED or MASHED by any of these methods: the fork, the blender,the food processor or the sieve.

The avocado like any other organic matter, is perishable and therefore should be made up freshly for each treatment.

To prevent the avocado or its mixture with other ingredients from darkening while stored in your refrigerator, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the avocado mixture so as not to expose the mixture to air. The usual method of adding lemon or lime juice for this purpose may be too harsh for skins which are dry or sensitive.

Avocado Facial Cleanser

Beat the yolk of an egg until it is light and frothy, add a half cup of milk and the mashed half of a ripe peeled avocado. A blender is handy here, but if you don't have one, beat the mixture with a fork until you have a thin cream or lotion-like consistency. Apply on squares of cotton as you would any other cleanser. You may also use this deep cleanser after ordinary soap and water, if your skin is normal. It's quite effective against pollution and grime. Therefore, it's a very pure method of keeping your complexion free of pollutants which can interfere with normal skin function.

Since the formula is perishable, we suggest making it every other day and storing it in the refrigerator between uses.

Avocado Moisturizer

The inside of the avocado peel is actually valuable. The precious oil hidden away in the peel of the avocado is also a wonderful facial moisturizer. To be technical, the oil contains a humectant, a substance that holds moisture.

Straw Berry delight

Ah I stumbled upon this great organic skin care concoction! STRAWBERRIES so Devine and great for the skin , I have incorporated some trends which I associate strawberries with, hope you like.

Quickest Strawberry Scrub Ever
Strawberry’s main skin-pleasing ingredient is alpha-hydroxy acid, a great little substance that helps us slough off dead skin cells so that new, youthful skin is revealed. Here’s a ridiculously easy way to get some of strawberry’s benefits in a New York minute: just cut a berry in half, rub it over your face, and let it sit there for a few minutes, then rinse. Instantly softer, smoother skin!

Sweet Strawberry and Cream Mask
This recipe is so delicious–with berries, cream, and honey–that you might be tempted to eat it instead of putting on your face, but give it a try. It will leave your skin so soft and beautiful: strawberries and cream mask.

Strawberry Foot Scrub
Feet can use a little help in summer, when sandals expose rough dead skin for all to see. This easy scrub helps slough it all away:

INGREDIENTS
8 strawberries
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoons kosher salt

Mix ingredients into a paste, massage well into feet, then rinse and dry.

Dewani case set back

NRI honeymoon murder case: Shrien Dewani gets temporary relief

Non Resident Indian (NRI) businessman Shrien Dewani got some temporary relief as the British High Court on Friday halted, on mental health grounds, his extradition to South Africa to face trial for the murder of his wife in a fake car-jacking during the couple's honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010. The ruling comes amidst doubts being raised about 32-year-old Shrien's involvement in the murder following the revelation of new CCTV footage by the BBC last night.
