Spend a cozy day at home in English countryside with me.
I had a cold over the past week and spend almost an entire week not leaving my house at all. Let me show you some of my favourite things to do at home that fill my soul with cozy feelings and contentment.
I made an herbal tea, sorted through my books and did a natural oil mask for my fine and dry hair which I’m trying to grow.

This video is silent as I’m currently away and wasn’t able to record the voice over. Hope you enjoy the calming atmosphere.

Hair mask ingredients:

Coconut oil (or olive, or almond) - 2 tbsp
Castor oil - 1 tbsp
Argan oil - 1 tbsp
Neem oil - 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek oil or black cumin seed oil - 1 tsp
Rosemary essential oil - 7 drops
Lavender essential oil - 3 drops
Amla powder (optional) - 1 tsp

Coconut oil acts as a carrier, and you can substitute it for a different carrier oil like olive or almond.
Neem oil is absolutely amazing for dandruff or itchy scalp as it's soothing and anti-fungal. It's great for growth and makes hair silky and shiny. Neem oil is very smelly, so I suggest you add just a little bit of it for this amount and then use lavender oil to mask the smell.
Fenugreek oil and black cumin seed oil are great for growth too, and I tend to use one or another, not together as they're also very smelly.
To mask the smell you can also use 3 drops of orange or mandarin essential oil.

Combine all oils in a jar and add amla powder last. Mix well and apply onto dry brushed hair and scalp. Massage well with your fingers or a silicone head massage brush.
