Iā€™m 45, and my skincare routine has always been incredibly simple. Most days, I just use castor oil & homemade scrubs & masks.

After my recent trip to Serbia, I found myself thinking about my grandmothers and the way women in my family used to make their own salves, ointments, oils and remedies from natural ingredients they grew themselves.

So I wanted to go back to my apothecary roots and make my own soothing, antioxidant-rich and nourishing face oil rich in ricinoleic acid, vitamin E & carotenoids šŸŒæ

šŸŒ±CALENDULA + ROSEHIP FACE OIL

ā€¢ Ā½ cup castor oil
ā€¢ Ā¼ cup coconut oil (or other carrier oil)
ā€¢ Ā¼ cup dried calendula
ā€¢ 2 tbsp dried rosehip

Combine everything in a clean, completely dry glass jar and let it cold-infuse for 3ā€“4 weeks somewhere cool and dark. Give the jar a gentle shake every day or two.

Once infused, strain very well through cheesecloth or a fine filter and transfer to a clean, dry amber glass bottle.

Iā€™ll be adding a few drops of rose oil after straining for an extra botanical touch. šŸŒ¹ You could also use jojoba, sweet almond or olive oil as your carrier oil. If you prefer a thinner consistency or find castor oil too heavy, inverse the measurements (more carrier oil & less castor oil). Use a few drops on a clean face at night.

Thereā€™s something so special about returning to the simple wisdom of the women who came before us ā€” making things with our own hands, using what nature gave us, and knowing exactly what went into them.

Save this for later if you want to make your own, and tell me in the comments: do you make your own face oils, serums or natural remedies? Whatā€™s your favourite ingredient? šŸŖ“

Thereā€™s something almost otherworldly about hearing prayers chanted beneath the domes of St. Sava Temple.

The voices rise into the vast space, echoing through the stone and mosaics, and for a moment, the outside world seems to disappear. The sound, the architecture, the acoustics, the stillnessā€¦.together, they create an energy that feels intimate, powerful, and almost mystical.

You donā€™t have to be religious to feel it. Sometimes you simply step into a place, slow down, and allow yourself to take in what it makes you feel.

If youā€™re visiting Belgrade, put the Temple of Saint Sava on your list. Go inside, slow down, and listen for a moment. āœØ
