Daily Bible Readings
Ecclesiastes 1-4
Verse of note:
To the man, namely, who pleases Him He has given the wisdom and shrewdness to enjoy himself; and to him who displeases, He has given the urge to gather and amass—only for handing on to one who is pleasing to God.
Evening edit:
Be not overeager to go to the House of God: more acceptable is obedience than the offering of fools, for they know nothing [but] to do wrong.

Thyme Syrup With Sparkling Mineral Water & Lime
For this particular syrup I partially followed the recipe in Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide by Rosemary Gladstar (I did not measure the thyme) and decided to add a squeeze of lime (like I usually do).
Rosemary’s Famous Face Cream
In addition to what I’m currently reading, I’m also reading Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide by Rosemary Gladstar (for study). And I just recently made her face cream. I used what I had on hand so mine is a bit different.
What I changed: I used plantain & calendula infused olive oil, mango butter, & carnauba wax instead of calendula oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax.
So far, I am thoroughly enjoying it, and it feels absolutely wonderful going on. You can feel the cooling effect of the aloe vera which I absolutely love and I also love that there’s water in it (it may sound simple and sometimes we forget this but water is THE moisturizer).
So far so good. This might be a staple.
