BIBLICAL BEAUTY

ARE YOU ADDICTED TO THE STRUGGLE?

2019-01-29T15:53:00.002-08:00

I had to face the realization that for some reason seriously unbeknownst to me, I HAD AN ADDICTION TO STRUGGLE. Just got this realization recently. NO MORE, I'M DONE.

What or who on earth maligned my mindset to this point? You know how I figured it out? I just took a long, hard look at my circumstances, people around me and the disproportionate levels of progression and measurable successes relative to the work and desires in my life and the lives of others.

Everything has been a struggle. I mean EVERYTHING! My mantra became biblical in that I fully embrace the scripture, "The valiant take it by force." I remember taking an acting role in minus degree weather while I had the flu. The job required me to dress in non-seasonal clothing and barely able to stand, I kept telling myself, "Just push girl. You're strong and powerful, etc., etc. That was ludicrous! I could have ended up in the hospital.

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress......NOT ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Struggle is a part of it, like an aircraft's ascent. It takes a lot of THRUST before we reach CRUISING ALTITUDE but we do reach it eventually.

"Suffering violence" doesn't embrace the struggle. On the contrary, "Valiant" people are forceful people, purposed driven people. Each power move takes it by force upward and beyond, not downward or stagnant. Valiant people make power moves and POWER MOVES are STRATEGIC.

BIBLICAL BEAUTIES, you are allowed to flow and ease into your purpose with measureable success and abundant living. So, ALLOW YOURSELF to peacefully make your next move.

What are you desiring? If you've spent half to three quarters of your life struggling to achieve your desires, it is time to stand back and revamp your strategy. Let the physical struggle go and focus on your INNER STRENGTH. (I will discuss this further in future posts.)

I'm lessening this struggle, once and for all. That's what I am going to do, starting now. `But, first, I shall relax. BYE, BYE STRUGGLE!

NEW BEGINNINGS AT ANY AGE

2019-01-26T16:21:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone:

Well, it has been a while since I last posted on my blog. SO MUCH has happened....to all us really and certainly in the world we live in.

Often, I've lamented, "All of these years have passed and I have not accomplished my life's objectives!" Panic was starting to set in.

"Time is FINITE.

I don't have forever.

When will I achieve the desires of my heart?"

It seems like the only thing increasing is AGE.

HOGWASH!!!!

While aging itself is a biological process, what it means to be “young” or “old” is socially constructed. This means that there is no inherent cultural meaning to the biological process of aging. Rather, cultures imbue youth and age with meanings.

If you are reading this BLOG, you are not done with this journey.

Let's embark upon this new season together; shall we?

NEW BEGINNINGS (By the way.....HAPPY NEW YEAR)

My intention for the Biblical Beauty Blog is to embark upon an exciting new journey of self-discovery, growth, reinvention and fulfilled desires.

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!!! Look at this Biblical Beauty Tip

What You HEAR Can Hurt or Heal. Biblical Beauty Secret No. 6

2016-03-17T13:35:00.000-07:00

There are all kinds of frequencies and vibrations all around us.

Light Waves (eyes), Sound Waves (ears), Gamma Rays, Infrared and Radio and Television Waves which can be felt.

These frequencies can be healing or abrasive. Remember the old saying, "Music hath the power to heal the savage beast." Well, the opposite is true also.

How music affects our body and brain

Music can effect hormones and can even trigger a release of endorphins - feel good chemicals. Beyond the biology and the actual responses of your body, there is scientific evidence it can affect your mind.

The most famous experiment related to this is probably the one that was performed at the University of California at Irvine. College students were assigned to three different groups. The first group listened to Mozart's sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. The second group listened to a relaxation tape. The third group listened to nothing at all. After listening, they took a Stanford-Beinet reasoning test. The results were clear -- those who had listened to Mozart had improved scores.

THE BIBLICAL BEAUTY MAINTAINS A SENSE OF PEACE, JOY AND STABILITY BY BEING ABLE TO UNWIND AND CONCENTRATE UPON GOODNESS AND THANKSGIVING. This ability will add years to our lives and bring a glow to our countenance.

Luke 19:37-40 "As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

KALE!!!! Biblical Beauty Secret Week 4

2016-01-25T14:54:00.000-08:00

KALE!!!! SUPERFOOD

Lean, Green and Packed with Nutrients.

Recently, while performing in the Off-Off Broadway show, “Songs From The Harlem River,” I met a beautiful actress named VINIE BURROWS who came out to see us.

Vinie won’t be upset when I tell you how old she is because she proudly proclaims it. She is 88 years young. I almost hit the floor when she told me. What???

She’s elegant, vital, slim and healthy. Her makeup was impeccable on skin which was dewy. Dewy at 88. Moreover, she still performs regularly, lives alone in Manhattan, walks everywhere and runs all of her own errands and folks in New York City know that running errands in the city is tantamount to a race with hurdles. http://www.vinieburrows.com

I asked her what was her secret and she said simply in addition to the constant physical activity, she drinks a cup of KALE TEA every day.

Now I know KALE has many benefits, such as;

Brain Food (Manganese)
Protects Against Heart Disease (Antioxidants; Magnesium and Potassium)
Anti-Cancer Benefits (Vitamin A, C)
Super High in Vitamin K1 (Bone health, Blood Sugar Level Regulation)
IRON, IRON and More IRON
High in Potassium (only Avocados and Bananas are higher)
Aids in WEIGHT LOSS
Anti-Inflammatory
Low in Calories

Making Kale Tea at Home

2 to 3 pieces of kale leaves
¾ cup water

Instruction:

Tear the kale leaves into small pieces. Add ¾ cup of boiling water. Let it steep for several minutes. Stir the mixture several times before drinking. Sweeten the mixture by adding organic honey.

Drink a small cup EVERY DAY.

A LITTLE EXTRA BEAUTY TREAT

Have a 1/2 cup of Walnuts for a nice afternoon snack

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, nuts are a perfect age fighting food and full of omega-3 essential fatty-acids. Walnuts and nuts in general, assist with managing cholesterol levels, improve digestive functioning, and strengthen immunity due to their rich mineral content.

In addition, research has discovered that even though nuts are a high-calorie, high-fat food, they do not encourage weight-gain. This is because nuts are filling, and after consumption, people eat less afterwards. In fact, the body does not absorb up to 20% of nuts.

BREATHING FOR BEAUTY - Biblical Beauty Secret No. 3

2016-01-21T11:18:00.000-08:00

When you can't BREATHE, nothing else matters.

Can you BREATHE for your Beauty? Absolutely!

"Most of us do not breathe deeply enough for optimal health. With shallow breathing, we diminish our oxygen intake and the amount of carbon dioxide expelled from the body, leading to a build up of toxins in the body. Breathing slowly and deeply in and out through the nose will increase the oxygenation of blood upping rejuvenation of the skin."

Deep Breathing offers many beauty benefits:

Improves Oxygen Delivery

Deep Breathing increases circulation which results in glowing skin.'

Detoxification of the entire system

Breathing exercises can eliminate harmful toxins from the body. The body is designed to release 70% of accumulated toxins through breathing. Carbon Dioxide, a natural toxin is expelled from the body's metabolic processes. Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide to cleanse the system.

Consequently, SHALLOW BREATHING makes it harder to release toxins from the system. The lungs are forced to work harder which in turn weakens the immune systems. This leads to illness and infections.

Elimination of Stress

Increased Mental Clarity

Biblical Beauties, let's commence to breathing better, deeply and consistently.

By doing the above exercise just 5 minutes a day, improvements will be quickly manifested. You will see radiant skin, calmness, clarity and.......

Weight Watchers says deep breathing will assist in WEIGHT LOSS!!!

http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=1391

One of the best known verses in the Bible is Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul." (Ruach - Hebrew words for "breath of life")

PS: FACT: Creatures that breathe slower like the elephant and the tortoise, live longer.

Lovingly,

Michèle

Shhhhh......Long Hair is Biblical -- WEEK 2 BEAUTY BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET

2016-01-14T13:05:00.000-08:00

Hi Biblical Beauties!

Today I wanted to share a Hair Biblical Beauty Secret that really isn't so secret. In fact, the secret(s) to long hair have been used in civilization since the beginning of time. Biblical scripture makes mention of hair and the glory of hair.

1 Corinthians 11:15 - But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering.

Basically the secret to beautiful hair is in CLEANSING, MAINTENANCE and PROTECTION.

CLEANSING with a mild no sulfate low ph shampoo or a "No Poo shampoo/conditioner."

MAINTENANCE which today's secret illustrates.

FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD - HOW DO WE GROW LUXURIOUS HAIR AND KEEP IT????

Based upon my research and personal experience, I've formulated an incredibly effective HAIR BEAUTY OIL to promote growth and maintenance.

BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET OIL

Black Castor Oil
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Geranium Oil
Neruli Oil
Neem Oil
Rosemary Oil
Camellia Seed Oil
Cayenne Pepper

Use 3 times weekly
Part the hair in small sections and apply the oil with a dropper (see above) on the scalp paying special attention to any thinning areas, i.e., edges and crown, etc.

Massage the scalp gently for 3 minutes

{Note to Biblical Beauties who believe in the power of the Word of God: Pray over your head! Read the scripture above, 1 Cor. 11:15. Also, I declare that my hair shall grow profusely like Absalom's hair.}

INVERSION FOR HAIR GROWTH

Inversion is a method of hanging your head upside down to bring the blood flow into the hair follicle. I found two great videos illustrating this with results. The results are purported to be:

1 Inch of Hair Growth in 7 days. (I'm going to try this on Saturday, so I will get back to you with this.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTzt3hgzyyQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDCQYt4R3eI

"And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:12

Oh yes DRINK WATER and take your vitamins!!!!

I take Hair Finity, Biotin, Vitamin D3-5000iu and a Multi B-complex.

http://www.hairfinity.com/

The Inversion Method is TEMPORARY. Our very intelligent bodies have a way of getting used to something new rather quickly and tempering off.

I've found so many "biblical" techniques for hair beauty which I will share; further establishing our credo that EVERYTHING WE NEED IS IN THE EARTH.

Lovingly,

WEEK ONE BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET (52 For the year!)

2016-01-05T13:52:00.001-08:00

THE FIRST BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET OF THE NEW YEAR IS......

HELICHRYSUM OIL(Helichrysum splendidum)

Helichrysum, the flower that contributes to “Everlasting” and “Immortal” Essential Oil, and known by the names Helichrysum Angustifolium and Helichrysum Italicum, is an European herb native to France, Italy and a few neighboring countries. This is a very costly oil and scarcely available, but unlike other essential oils which have a short shelf life, this oil can be stored for a very long time.

https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/essential-oils/health-benefits-of-helichrysum-essential-oil.html

The chemical profile of the

Veriditas Helichrysum italicum variety Serotinum,

includes a high level of :

o Neryl Acetate (over 40%), which acts as an anti-spasmodic / muscle relaxant, may serve to “unlock” old injuries and is involved in the muscular-knot-releasing effect.

o Alpha-, beta-, and gamma-curcumenes, which act as anti-inflammatory agents.

o Di-ketones, which possess superb ability to regenerate new cells and tissue.

MY PERSONAL USAGE:

First of all, let me tell you, it doesn't smell that good. It's a bit pungent. LOL However, it is so good for my skin, I just overlook that. I use this fabulous oil two ways; 1) In my homemade facial scrub formula and 2) Adding a bit to my foundation.

ANTI-INFLAMMATION FACIAL SCRUB

1/2 Cup of Jojoba oil as the carrier oil

25 uncoated Aspirin (GeriCare Aspirin - I ordered via Amazon)

1 Tablespoons of Organic Lemon Juice

25 drops of Helichrysum Oil (http://www.edensgarden.com/products/helichrysum#.VowpTfkrL-c)

Finely grind the UNCOATED Aspirin in a mortar with a pestle. The coarseness of the powder depends upon how intense you want the exfoliation to be. I like a medium grind, not too powdery.

ADD the Jojoba Oil, Organic Lemon Juice and the Helichrysum Oil to the Aspirin. Mix well.

i use this scrub about once a week. It is particularly great for breakouts, cuts and puffiness. Remarkable tightening without harsh dryness.

Before a special event, I will sleep with it on my face overnight.

ADDING TO MAKEUP FOUNDATION OR CONCEALER

I add one or two drops to my foundation on a makeup sponge. Go easy with the oil because the smell is strong and you don't want to have folks looking at you weirdly. LOL

Biblical Beauty Secret No. 1.....51 to go.

Lovingly,

Michele

We Are Back!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2016-01-05T09:37:00.001-08:00

Hello Beauties!!

3. Attended two prestigious film festivals and placed in the screenwriting and screenplay pitch categories.

4. Left a full time position in corporate and am now proudly a full time ACTRESS/WRITER/PRODUCER/DIRECTOR and am supremely joyful.

6. Taught an exciting young performer acting class at NYCastings with some of the most talented children I've ever seen.

7. Attended the New York Fashion Week shows.

What's next? Well, in March I am entering a new decade of life. (Details later.)

Biblical Beauties, I adjure all of you to TAKE THE LEAP into the lake of DESTINY.

In 2016, I promise to bring some of the most of exciting and innovative ways to turn up our lives and live far more abundantly than ever imagined. You and I will travel along this path together and by 2017, we will enjoy the fruit of our labors.

STOP THAT OLD TALK!!!!

2014-06-26T12:34:00.001-07:00

I notice that a lot of people decry getting older. They talk about aches, pains, disappointments and regrets, coulda woulda shoulda mess, etc. STOP THAT SORT OF TALK!!!! which manifests itself in decline on every level.

May I just share that getting older is a fabulous experience if you equate getting older as getting stronger, wiser, more intelligent, spiritually more advanced and physically more beautiful.

Try splitting up each personal “epoch” into a number of years, i.e., 7. So, for every 7 years, you purpose that you will improve significantly over a measurable period of time. The only difference between a 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 year old, etc. is that it just takes more effort to achieve the greater results.

Therefore, begin young to acquire the desired strength for the latter years. However, it’s never too late to start.

For me this is “BIBLICAL BEAUTY”

by definition and methodology.

Lovingly Yours,

Michele

REJUVENATION

2014-05-05T17:49:00.001-07:00

JOB 33:25 - His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth.

A BIBLICAL BEAUTY is often complimented on how young she looks. After graduating from college, I moved to New York City and shortly upon arriving there I joined a lovely church. I observed how elegant, eloquent and beautiful the Pastor's wife was. When commenting to another church member how impressed I was with her, I was informed that she never aged. I was shown pictures of her from 20 years prior to meeting her and indeed, she hadn't changed. Other church members told me that she had to be in her 60's or even 70's but she didn't look a day over 35. I never forgot that.

How does a Biblical Beauty look 30 years even 40 years younger than she is?

Wendy Ida, Personal Trainer, Body Builder, Author (Age 62)

Joshua 14:10-12 - “Now, as you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. 11 I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then. 12 So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the Lord said.”

WHAT WILL KEEP YOU ENERGIZED, STRENGTHENED AND YOUTHFUL?

BEING WHOLLY COMMITTED TO YOUR GOD-ORDAINED PURPOSE

LIVING A LIFE OF EXPECTANCY

REGENERATION VIA DAILY PRAYER AND FREQUENT FASTING

A LIFE GIVING DIET WITH "RENEWAL" ENERGY LADEN FOODS - WHOLE ORGANIC FOODS AND HGH (Human Growth Hormone) PRODUCING FOODS

THOUGHTS THAT ENERGIZE AND CONTINUALLY ELEVATE ABOVE THE ABYSMAL (NEGATIVE) THINKING OF THE WORLD (CONTINUAL RENEWING OF THE MIND TO CONFORM TO THE WORD OF GOD).

WALKING IN LOVE AND FORGIVENESS

OWNING YOUR AGE BUT NOT ALLOWING YOUR AGE TO OWN YOU

Ernestine Shepherd, Body Builder (Age 74)

As a Biblical Beauty THINKS, so is she......

Masako Mizutani is known in Japan as the lady of eternal youth.

44 years old, yet looks like a teenager.

Youthfulness is a trait of BIBLICAL BEAUTY and Rejuvenation is available to a BIBLICAL BEAUTY at any time she decides.

Lovingly,

Michele

THE POMEGRANATE - NATURAL REJUVENATION FOR BIBLICAL BEAUTY

2014-05-04T11:13:00.002-07:00

As I write this Biblical Beauty Blog post, I am basking in the aromatic fragrance of POMEGRANATE OIL which I massaged over my face, neck and décolletage. Such a heavenly fragrance. A I inhale this lovely fragrance, an indescribable peace enveloped me.

A BIBLICAL BEAUTY knows that God's natural herbs, fruits and oils are the ultimate beauty resource for healing, maintenance and rejuvenation.

One of these natural rejuvenators is the beautiful POMEGRANATE.

In the Bible (Deut. 8:8), the report of the spies sent forth to scout out the Promised Land recounted having seen a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey.

“Pomegranate, a very beautiful and majestic fruit, even has a crown. It corresponds to hod, which means majesty and glory. Hod is also related to the Hebrew word toda which means thanks and recognition.

According to Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh, hod corresponds to our immune system. A healthy immune system is able to recognize our friends from our foes, and pomegranates boost our immune system. Pomegranate seed oil causes cancer cells to self-destruct; the juice of the fruit is toxic to most breast cancer cells, yet has almost no effect on healthy cells. Pomegranate juice has also been proven to decrease heart disease by decreasing LDL ("bad cholesterol") and increased HDL ("good cholesterol").” -- (Excerpt from “The Seven Species” written by Chana B. Siegelbaum)

WOW!!!!!

8 AMAZING BENEFITS OF POMEGRANATE OIL

Cardiac Health

Skin Toning: Tones and tightens skin, helps maintain firmness and elasticity, especially breast tissue.

Infertility

Cancer Prevention

Weight Loss

Prevents Hormonal Imbalances

Relieves Muscle Aches and Inflammation

Hair Benefits: Moisturizes, Strengthens hair follicles, Nourishes, Relieves itchiness and flakes (all due to the punicic acid found in the oil).

The pomegranate is native in regions ranging from Iran through to the Himalayas in northern India. It was cultivated and naturalized over the Mediterranean region since ancient times. The pomegranate plant is a neat, rounded shrub or small tree that can grow to typically to 12 to 16 feet in height. Dwarf varieties are also known. It is usually deciduous, but in certain areas the leaves will persist on the tree. The trunk is covered by a red-brown bark, which later becomes gray. The branches are stiff, angular and often spiny. Pomegranate Carrier Oil is the result of the dried seeds, which are extracted and purified with supercritical carbon dioxide (liquid carbon dioxide).

Pomegranate Seed Carrier Oil is suitable for applications in both soap and skin care. It is often viewed as a "face oil" in that it moisturizes and nourishes dry skin. It also balances pH and after application the skin usually feels soft and smooth.

Song of Songs 4: 1-5 - 1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. 2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them. 3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. 4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

Biblical Beauty Requires Continual Care and Maintenance

2014-05-02T12:41:00.001-07:00

Yes!!! A Biblical Beauty is fearfully and wonderfully made.

That means God beheld, you, the Biblical Beauty up to the highest level of godly reverence and then joyously created you.

The incredible vessel that inhabits YOU needs your utmost care.

One of God's natural maintenance tools is WATER.
We should make sure that our bodies are irrigated with fresh, clean water.

Remember the "fable" of the search for "The Fountain of Youth?" Supposedly, conquistador Juan Ponce de León’s name was attributed to having searched for a legendary fountain of youth. This fountain was searched for unsuccessfully along the Florida coast.

Well, a modern fountain of youth has been attributed to Fiuggi, Italy, a hilltop town southeast of Rome where the residents attest to the rejuvenating properties of the waters there.

Here is an excerpt from a CNN report.

So, BIBLICAL BEAUTY drink WATER to maintain your God given vessel!

http://www.italgourmetfoods.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=96_160

And, the most important water of all.........

John 4:14 - But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Your Highness

2014-05-02T09:14:00.000-07:00

Biblical Beauty exudes Royalty no matter what status in life.

Royal Protocol:

Royal Protocol originates from the historical belief that Monarchs are chosen by God and therefore, should be treated with the upmost deference, as the closest thing on Earth they had to God. Royal protocol extends much further than common courtesy and even further than standard social etiquette, it is literally a law unto itself.

A Biblical Beauty far exceeds an earthly Monarch because.....

1 Peter 2:9: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Within a Biblical Beauty is an innate Royal. You are special to God created in His image to exist in the fullness of His love, give love and be loved.

Lovingly,

Michele

BIBLICAL BEAUTY IS..........

Fatima

Have you ever had someone just stare at you for reasons unbeknownst to even them? LOL They may say something like, "I don't know what it is about you." "Can't put my finger on it, but...." "Your beauty is unconventional, you know?"

Well, guess what, they can't describe your beauty because it goes beyond what they see. You may in fact, consider yourself an "otherworldly" beauty or even a "dangerously attractive" beauty.

Dangerous because it confounds.

Pure perhaps because it's ethereal.

Otherworldly because God has planted His indelible stamp of glory all over you and it shows!

Oooooh, I felt a SHOUT coming on.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." - Eccl. 3:11

Biblical Beauty is AGELESS

"You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you." Song of Solomon 4:7

What is "BIBLICAL BEAUTY?"

2014-05-01T10:34:00.002-07:00

Biblical Beauty is complete awareness of one's unique attractiveness

which is not dependent upon any outside standard.

BIBLICAL BEAUTY 2014

2014-05-01T10:19:00.001-07:00

Hello All,

It's a new season. I've been away quite some time and life has changed dramatically. I can't describe the energy pulsating through me except to say that God is renewing, revitalizing and even, restoring.

BIBLICAL BEAUTY IS BACK!!!!!

At the onset of this blog in 2009, I don't really think I understood what Biblical Beauty was. It's more than appearance, nutrition and attitude, BIBLICAL BEAUTY is the essence of how a woman perceives herself through God's point of view. Once that perception is received as truth, a tangible, physical, beautiful glow bursts forth.

I'm not going to predict what I will bring to the blog but rather, I will let God through me reveal exactly what BIBLICAL BEAUTY is and how we can express it in our being (thoughts, words and deeds) whether impacting the earth at large or within our individual kosmos.

Lovingly,

Michele

THE HEALING POWERS OF SUNFLOWERS

2012-08-08T09:29:00.001-07:00

Last weekend, I took a day trip to the beautiful wine country of Long Island, NY. I and my two wonderful friends, Vanessa and Lida visited Raphael Vineyards and Pindar Vineyards.

One of the attractions at Pindar was a Sunflower field where you can snip your own flowers for $1.00 per stalk. As I walked onto the field, I was immediately overwhelmed by a feeling of peace being surrounded by these lofty and stately beauties. Each flower was uniquely beautiful. The depth of color was nothing short of miraculous. I understand why Van Gogh was captivated.

I don’t like bees or yellow jackets and they were in abundance as they flitted from flower to flower. However, I suspected they wouldn’t bother me and they didn’t. I was in sync with nature and I knew it.

I sensed that something else spiritually and divinely important was occurring in this field, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I pondered for a few days…..

So, I decided to google, “sunflowers” and “healing” and EUREKA, there it was, what I had been feeling. Sunflowers are God’s “CLEANERS.” Oh my goodness! Can you believe it???? Scientists believe that sunflowers at their full height can absorb large quantities of radioactive caesium, resulting in their growing presence across the Fukushima landscape in order to help decontaminate soil after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami struck Japan’s northeast coast, leaving an estimated 23,000 dead or missing.

The yellow flowers have been planted by farmers, volunteers and officials across swathes of Fukushima prefecture in order to help the soil absorb radiation leaked from the region's damaged nuclear power plant.

The yellow flowers have been planted by farmers, volunteers and officials across swathes of Fukushima prefecture in order to help the soil absorb radiation leaked from the region's damaged nuclear power plant.

The Fukushima sunflower projects follow the lead of Chernobyl, where a large quantity of the flowers were also planted widely in the aftermath of 1986 nuclear accident.

Officials are hoping that the soil will not only benefit from the project but also the local economy, as they aim to attract a growing number of tourists back to the region with the sunflower fields.

Who knew? Wow, God knows and He let me in on it that day in the beautiful sunflower fields of Long Island, NY.

Lovingly yours,

Michele

THIEVES ESSENTIAL OIL

Germs, bacteria, viruses, etc. are becoming increasingly resistant. In fact, they are have never been stronger or more antibiotic-resistant.

TB Virus

Tuberculosis (TB), an airborne infection that attacks the lungs, is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. About 8.8 million new cases occur worldwide each year, with some 15,000 infections annually in the United States. Once largely suppressed in developed countries, virulent, drug-resistant TB has recently made a comeback.

Just recently, a man lay in an Oregon hospital diagnosed with the Bubonic Plague or "black death." He was trying to help his cat who had gotten a flea ridden rodent caught in its mouth. Fearfully, the cat bit him and the man became infected with a virus that had rarely been seen in the United States.

Bubonic Plague Virus

The bubonic plague wreaked havoc in Europe off and on for about 600 years before peaking in the 1300s. Century after century, as late as the 1700s, outbreaks claimed up to half the population. The plague had a big influence on the life of William Shakespeare, having claimed the lives of some of his siblings as well as causing his theater to be shut down during several especially nasty outbreaks in London between 1593 and 1608.

It is well know that the bubonic plague is a bite-based infection. A lesser known fact is that there were many more victims than those bitten by fleas. It turns out that the bubonic plague was often the first step of a progressive series of illnesses.Two other types were pneumonic and septicemic. The resulting pneumonic plague was also very infectious and allowed person-to-person transmission.

This is the period of time responsible for the bizarre images of physicians wearing dark robes, wide-brimmed hats, and masks with long beaks. There was actually method to the madness. These beaks held dried herbs, spices and essential oils which the physician breathed. The robe was doused with a similar fragrant concoction. Scientific evidence today is building support for this seemingly outrageous behavior... many harmful microbes can't survive in the presence of certain essential oils.

"In Marseilles, a garlic-vinegar preparation known as the Four Thieves was credited with protecting many of the people when a plague struck that city (1722). Some say that the preparation originated with four thieves who confessed that they used it with complete protection against the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead. Others claim that a man named Richard Forthave developed and sold the preparation, and that the 'medicine' was originally referred to as Forthave's. However, with the passing of time, his surname became corrupted to Four Thieves."

Thieves Oil Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup jojoba oil (or other carrier oil if preferred)
1 tablespoon clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum a.k.a. Eugenia aromaticum or Eugenia caryophyllata)
1 tablespoon lemon oil (Citrus limon)
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon oil (Cinnamomum verum a.k.a Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
2 teaspoons rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis)
2 teaspoons eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus radiata)

For a smaller amount of oil, try this scaled back version. It still makes about 60ml of thieves oil but you can scale it down further as needed. For reference, there are about 19 drops of oil per teaspoon.

1/4 cup (60 ml) jojoba or other carrier oil
3,75 ml (72 drops) clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum a.k.a. Eugenia aromaticum or Eugenia caryophyllata)
3,75 ml (72 drops) lemon oil (Citrus limon)
3 ml (58 drops) cinnamon oil (Cinnamomum verum a.k.a Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
2.5 ml (48 drops) rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis)
2.5 ml (48 drops) eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus radiata)

Directions

Measure out jojoba oil into a clean glass container. Add essential oils. Stir or shake the oil well to blend all the essential oils with the carrier oil.
Pour it into glass bottles for personal use. Store out of direct sunlight in dark glass bottles to retain oil strength.

Hello Biblical Beauties!!!

PLUMERIA PLANT

Happy 1^st day of Summer. I keep hearing strains of the “Hot Fun In The Summertime.” Let’s make this Summer, the best one ever.

I would love to go back to Hawaii. I visited the beautiful island of Maui two years ago and I will never forget. Despite the fact that I was allergic to the Leis made from the fragrant, PLUMERIA PLANT making my lips swell as though I had too much Collagen injected into them and I stayed out in the sun much too long resulting in my skin peeling for months upon return, IT WAS THE BEST EVER SUMMER VACATION.

Fresh fruit, especially pineapple, vegetables and fish were the staples of my diet. Drinking KONA COFFEE was like rich velvet sliding down my throat. I even fell in love with the Poi. Sort of reminded me of smooth grits.

Hawaii is a veritable paradise. The people of Hawaii are so congenial, calm and I have to say some of the most beautiful people on the planet, inside and out.

While on a tour of the Hawaiian Rain Forest, I discovered the Awapuhi Plant. Our tour guide broke a piece off and told us to use it in our hair. I recognized the name of the plant from having observed that it is a major ingredient in the Paul Mitchell products. So, I was curious about using it in it’s natural form. LORD HAVE MERCY!!!! Awapuhi is a heavenly nectar. Now, anything heavenly has to be incorporated in a Biblical Beauty’s regimen.

If you squeeze the bud out comes the main ingredient of Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi Ginger line. He actually bought a farm and grows the plant on the Big Island of Hawaii. He spoke with some Hawaiian grandmothers who shared some vital secrets about a plant that has been used for centuries to cleanse as well as soften the hair and skin.

In fact many locals use just this to wash their hair, with no other added ingredients. I tried it and it made my hair feel like silk. It is available in various hair care lines, particularly, Paul Mitchell but the pure nectar is unbelievable.

Ahhhh......I long to go back to Hawaii. You know what, if I want some of the pure Awapuhi, I will have to because it only grows there. In the meantime, here's some beautiful Hawaiian music singing about Awapuhi. Listen to this and be whisked away.

LOSE INCHES VIA DO IT YOURSELF BODY WRAP

2012-05-19T17:03:00.000-07:00

The awesome thing about body wraps is that they are fun to apply, and really work. You can realistically lose 10 or more inches after only one weight loss body wrap, and virtually eliminate cellulite after a cellulite wrap.

FIRST

Exfoliate the skin to prepare for optimum absorption of wrap.

Using a Loofah Brush, scrub upwards and outward using Pure Aloe Vera as a natural cleanser. DO NOT USE BAR SOAP OR SOAP BODY CLEANSERS because the soapy film will impede the penetration of the natural ingredients and release of toxins.

SECOND

Clay is a little messy, but if your goal is to lose inches then it is a must.

HOMEMADE SLIMMING BODY WRAP

1 Cup of bentonite or green clay

1/4 Cup Sea Salt

2 Tsp. Olive Oil

2 Cups Sea Salt

1 Tsp. Peppermint Oil

2 Cups of Spring Water

Plastic Wrap or White Sheet torn into strips about 5 inches wide and 5 feet long

Basin of warm Spring Water if you are using a sheet

THIRD

Let's do it!

Make sea water by mixing the sea salt in the spring water. Add the clay to make a paste. Add the olive oil and peppermint oil. When all mixed together, additional spring water may be added to get it to the proper consistency.
Place your wrapping strips in the basin of warm water unless you are using plastic wrap.
Take a long, warm shower to open your pores so the wrapping solution can seep in. Leave the shower running while you apply the wrap to help keep your pores open.
Apply the solution to whatever part of your body you are wrapping. Wrap in an upward direction with the strips. If you are using the sheet, you may want to wrap a second dry layer on top.

Begin to apply the wraps to your body, starting from the ankles upwards. Wrap slowly, making sure that the body wraps are tight, but not so tight that they hinder circulation.

Apply a robe, blanket, or wear a sauna suit. Now, just lay down and rest for 30 minutes. Put on some relaxing music. Set your alarm clock in case you fall asleep.

Remove the strips and shower using lukewarm water. Only shower with lukewarm water for a couple of days so your pores stay closed to allow the wrap to work.

Apply a post body wrap moisturizer to your skin after your shower or bath. This will make your skin feel silky smooth.

Okay it's wrap. Let's top it off with a nice cold glass of COCONUT WATER

Coconut water naturally speeds up your metabolism & it gives you more energy.

VERY IMPORTANT

Take a very warm shower on the third day to open your pores and the accumulated toxins will be released.

If you are doing this wrap during the winter months, make sure you cover up securely because your pores will be open and you can make yourself susceptible to catching a cold.

Fat is not heavy, so you may notice only a pound or weigh loss, and then only after you have flushed your body with water.

Our bodies are God's handiwork. Take care of yours!

Love,

Michele

Yummmmm.....

A Matcha Green Tea Latte not only tastes good, the goodness is infinitesimal. Did I mention that Matcha Green Tea boosts metabolism which aids in weight loss?

Okay, where was I??? Oh yes, TEA, divine, elegant and more often than not, therapeutic and medicinal.

NILGIRI TEA

I mentioned above that I love Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, well there is a Tea counterpart. Nilgiri Tea grown in the Nilgiri hills, so called “The Blue Mountain”, situated in the South India is another very popular spots sheltering numerous of beautiful tea gardens. The hilly landscape of Nilgiri , unlike Darjeeling and Assam, grows Tea plants all over the year. At Nilgiri the tea is grown at the elevation of around 1,000 meters to 2,500 meters. The major teas produced on the Nilgiri hills are the Oolong and black tea. The favourable climatic conditions, makes Nilgiri a truly unique tea.

The tea is produced on the Coonoor Estate in the Nilgiri hills in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. To date Nilgiri tea has really only been known to connoisseurs actively seeking out teas from this particular region, but now it will be available to us all in small, whole leaf batches. At its best when brewed with a tablespoon of tea for two and a half minutes and drunk without milk, it has a rich flavor with hints of malt, caramel and orange peel - it really is absolutely delicious.

Nilgiri Tea Benefits: Health

A few health benefits associated with Nilgiri tea are:

The tea is believed to contain antioxidants, subsequently assisting in lowering down the cholesterol level.

This beverage is known to be quite successful in preventing asthmatic attacks, as the tea is enriched with caffeine which helps in clearing the air passages.

People suffering from diabetes are sure to benefit from the intake of this black tea, where the sugar level is expected to go down.

There is a great possibility with respect to osteoporosis prevention where the bone density of an individual would be improved as a result of black tea consumption.

This black tea is supposed to enhance the mental alertness of an individual.

Problem of heart attack would be avoided as a result of intake of Nilgiri tea.

Health Benefits found on http://www.ifood.tv/network/nilgiri_tea

Also fabulous go to website for all things pertaining to tea is .http://jingtea.com

One more tea from which I have obtained outstanding results is

SENNA LEAF TEA.

Can we talk freely? Elimination! Even the best diet habits may require a little help. Well, SENNA LEAF TEA provides just that in SMALL QUANTITIES. Through trial and error, I have discovered what amount works for me. Early on, I spent many a night in the Loo for hours. That’s why Senna Leaf Tea is “affectionately” called the “Dieter’s Tea,” "Smooth Move" and "Ballerina's Tea."

Senna is a primary component of many commercial colon cleansers and diet pills. In tea form, Senna is available as a single herb, or as part of a blend of complementary digestive herbs. Warning: Do not use Senna often. It is only meant to be imbibed on an as per needed basis.

Smooth Move Herbal Stimulant Laxative Tea which is senna leaf tea, a naturally sweet tea is a very gentle natural laxative if used correctly. Drink 1 cup at night before bed, no later than 8 or 9 pm as you don’t want it to affect you as you go to work. Senna generally takes anywhere between 8-10 hours. Use your discretion with this, if you are eliminating with no problems then I wouldn’t use it everyday. It will affect everyone differently so please use your own judgment on drinking it daily. DO NOT ADD ANY SWEETENER to the tea (no sugar, honey or artificial sweetener)!

These are just a few teas I use for beauty maintenance. I will feature others later on the blog.

Cheers!
