Especially because I really dropped the ball on my blogging, so I figured I better make some very interesting ones! I hope you find them so, and maybe try out one of my uses!
Here is a photo of my handsome and tolerant boyfriend out at the lavender farm with me!
See the fields in the background! Not to mention they had bee hives that made lavender honey! The lavender was so fragrant that the bees didn't even care that I was wearing bright colors and moving around them.
Once I got the lavender home, I hung it in small bunches, upside down in a cool, dry area, for a couple of days. Once it seemed dry, I harvested the buds, which are seen below!
This is about half of what I picked! I really wish I would have picked more after seeing all the great uses for lavender.
I will start this blog out with the most basic use of lavender, for a more herbal remedy to help relax, and calm the body and mind. Many people enjoy making dream pillows to sleep on or little sachets for their delicates drawer. When I was at the lavender farm, I bought a pack of drawstring mesh bags to give to a few people to use their lavender however they please. They can put that in their pillow case, in their underwear draw, keep it next to their bed to smell when they feel stressed or have a headache, or even put a few buds in the back tub!
Of course I could not resist the hot pink baggies! they look so pretty with the delicate purple buds in them!
I will be making a few more posts of the other uses for lavender as well! Keep an eye out for them soon as my sincere apologies for neglecting my blog!
Stay cool!
