3 Ways to Prepare an Herbal Bath - Spiritual Shower, Easy Clean, and Traditional!

Learn how to do a spiritual bath in three different methods - traditional, easy clean up, and the spiritual shower!

Bathing in water infused with the power of herbs and flowers can help purify, relax, and soothe you. Traditionally, herbal baths were often done by pouring fresh or dried herbs and flowers into a warm bath. The soaker used the infused water and floating herbs to cleanse themselves. 

Today, there are less...messy ways to take advantage of the botanicals in your bath without cleaning up herbs out of your drain. Whether you make your own bath blend or purchase a pre-made herbal bath blend, like the Self Love Herbal Bath Blend, the three methods I like for modern day herbal baths are STEEPED, EASY CLEAN-UP, and SHOWER method.

Iyawo White Fashion Inspiration (FALL 2018)

Growing up in an Orisha house, my parents always expressed the importance of not only wearing white at religious functions, but wearing white or lighter colored clothes in general.

“But the white just gets...so...messy...”

“You kept your whites super clean today, Naima. I don’t know why you’re complaining.”

“Today was a fluke. You know how clumsy I am, dad.” We both chuckle as he nods.

“Yeah..”

”I mean, are we even supposed to wear white after Labor Day?”

”Naima, you know we wear white for ceremony. And you’re a child of Obatala. You should wear more white in general.”

“But why?”

Self Love Ritual Inspired by Oshun (OSHUNITA ritual STEP-BY-STEP)

Oshun is the Yoruba orisha (spirit, deity, or goddess) of fresh waters, love, and divination. She is often pictured admiring herself in a mirror. Because of her undeniable sex appeal, many see her self admiration as vain, vapid, or shallow. 

Au contraire. 

There’s an endless power in self-love and self-reflection. Self-love is never being afraid of seeing yourself and admiring yourself. Respecting your worth. Understanding ourselves. Forgiving ourselves. Improving ourselves. 

Oshun teaches us that there is magic in loving and admiring yourself. Oshun shows us there is magic in self-confidence. Oshun wants us to know the magic in looking in the mirror.
