I try to stick to routine as much as possible @TAB Mental illness is a vata disease in Ayurveda and it responds to routine. Vata can get turbulent its like both wind and water combined which is why I don't do stimulants like caffeine anymore. Would rather be in a state of calm. Ever since I gave up coffee and cocoa have never looked back. It would be nice to indulge in caffeine but I do better omitting it. Vata rules creativity and you are more creative pacifying vata.
Yes I bought a lot at Woolies, the prices really have gone up! I prefer shopping online as I can edit my cart for what is essential only but even then it can be difficult. The prices still go up! I haven't checked my medicine prices but my mad meds got reduced to 28 tablets a month I think and not 30. That was a long time ago.
Just had a shower and styled my hair. Love my DIY thermal heat protectant hair spritz. It contains everything big brands have minus the chemicals and price tag. I surprise myself with styling as my hair really does well on it. It only contains 3 things - aloe vera water, aloe vera gel and castor oil. Wish I could make my own hair volumizer powder, that would be a good idea. I did check the ingredients on the label. May go try making my own lol

I was buying this and it cost me $28 @TAB
Just found a recipe from AI that uses baby (talc free) powder, bicarb and rosemary essential oil. It would save me quite a bit of money each month. They say for lighter hair you can add kaolin clay. For added hold/texture add bentonite clay or rice starch

That will keep you busy in the garden @TAB you will love growing your own things it is lovely having soil through your hands! I'm just back from a walk. It was warm out there. Just doing blood irradiation then will put clothes on the line. The hair volumizer is a powder not a spray. I don't know how much of it I use each month (not much as its still full) but I don't think its worth the price. Can buy a years supply worth by making my own. Don't know how good it will be but will give it a go! Its very satisfying making your own.
