I always say, never sleep with someone you wouldn’t want to be. ~Lisa Chase Patterson

Pay attention to whom you share your intimate energy with. Intimacy at this level intertwines your aural energy with the aural energy of the other person. These powerful connections, regardless of how insignificant you think they are, leave spiritual debris, particularly within people who do not practice any type of cleansing, physical, emotional or otherwise. The more you interact intimately withsomeone, the deeper the connection and the more of their aura is intertwined with yours.
Imagine the confused aura of someone who sleeps with multiple people and carries around these multiple energies? What they may not realize is that others can feel that energy which can repel positive energy and attract negative energy into your life.

Yes.

The Women's Business Council (Via Sista Talk)

Sun, 27 May 2012 15:24:54 +0100

I received this email from SistaTalk sharing information on a (yet another) new initiative from the UK Government which is aimed at increasing women’s contribution to the business world. It seems positive in theory and I think that any woman in business should be aware of what is being proposed. Please read and share.

About the Women’s Business Council

The council is an informal advisory body which will look at ways of maximising women’s contribution to economic growth. The council, chaired by Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, CEO at MITIE, will assess priorities in challenging the barriers that women face in playing a full part in business and the workplace.

Words from the Home Secretary

In launching the council on 2 May 2012, Home Secretary Theresa May said:

“Women are at the heart of Britain’s economic future and we need to do all we can to help them achieve their full potential. I am delighted to launch the Women’s Business Council and look forward to hearing their advice on how we can help women maximise their many talents and give our economy a welcome boost.”

“

If you want to make a living at what you love to do, you have to accept the same basic premise everybody in business must accept; the purpose of a business is to be in business at this time next year.

The purpose of a good business is to be better, more profitable, and more likely to survie with every succeeding Schedule C (tax return) you fill out.

Imanmade Natural Skincare

The latest of my Natural Loves is Imanmade, a new Skincare range made with Natural, Fairtrade ingredients.

I’ve been a big fan of the Imanmade range since its creation almost two years ago, in a cosy little kitchen in East London.

Its creator, Iman has been mixing and blending her own creams, lotions and oils for personal use since 2008; the Imanmade brand came about after many unsuccessful attempts to remedy Her own skin complaints, as well as those of her young sons.

The range is slowly starting to expand, and so far the products available to buy at the Imanmade Etsy store are;

Nourishing Body Butters

Peppermint Lip Balm

Face Oil (launches next week)

It’s a tough call for me to pick my favourite products from the Imanmade range; they’re all fantastic, but I’m going to share a few thoughts with you here.

Nourishing Body Butter

The first of the Imanmade range, these Butters are whipped to perfection and are meltingly soft.

The base ingredients for the Original Butter include Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Jojoba and Virgin Coconut Oils. There are also two naturally fragranced Butters available; Lavender & Neroli and my personal favourite, Monoi.

The Imanmade Nourishing Body Butter does exactly what it says on the label.

I use this as an all-over moisturiser (and even in my hair) on dry skin, and straight from the Shower. The Butters absorb really well; as I mentioned before they’re really soft - there’s no need to warm them up to a pliable consistency, something that you need to do with other brands.

The subtle fragrance of the Lavender & Neroli and the Monoi Butters lasts, and all of the Butters leave your skin feeling soft and well moisturised throughout the day or night, with a really nice, non-greasy sheen.

All Imanmade Nourishing Body Butters are available in 30g, 85g and 175g jars.

Peppermint Lip Balm

I love me a good Lip Balm and I think I may have found my Holy Grail!

The Imanmade Peppermint Lip Balm contains Mango Butter and Vitamin E. Bonuses for me are that it’s very light, it’s not greasy and doesn’t leave your lips looking glossy. The minty fragrance isn’t too overpowering (I hate when You can taste Lip Balm) and its texture isn’t ‘bitty’ like some other Mint Lip Balms that I’ve tried.

I find that this Lip Balm lasts quite well too; I keep one by my bed, and after a slick before bedtime, this pretty much stays on until the morning.

Face Oil

I started using the Imanmade Face Oil as part of the Oil Cleansing Method last year, and I was really pleased with the results.

Now, I use the Face Oil as a Primer under my make-up (yes, it’s that light), and in place of a Night Cream. Again, I can’t fault the staying power of Imanmade products; the Face Oil really moisturises and gives a nice, healthy glow to the skin. It doesn’t leave your face feeling greasy or looking shiny, and it doesn’t leave your pores feeling clogged up.

Blended with one of my favourite oils (Sweet Almond), the Imanmade Face Oil also contains Jojoba and Wheatgerm Oils, as well as Vitamin E.

The Imanmade Face Oil will be available online next week.

I genuinely cannot praise the Imanmade range enough.

For ingredients, it’s on point. Imanmade uses 100% Natural Butters and Essential Oils.

For quality, again each product is fantastic. The Butters in particular claim to ‘soften and protect dry, sensitive skin’ and do exactly that.

All products in the Imanmade range are suitable for Vegans.

On price, I’m very impressed. An 85g jar of Body Butter costs just £7, and a little really does go a long way, owing to the richness of it.

Overall Rating: 10 out of 10
