This is liquid gold, pumpkin seed oil is a multi purpose oil for skin care, general health and hair growth especially if you’re going bald. It supposedly will have your hair growing back in 6 months. Various websites are discussing the benefits of this oil. Scroll down from the first article and you’ll see more information on its benefits including assistance in mental health care. 

In recent years we have seen the benefits of jojoba oil, coconut oil, argan oil, rosehip oil, avocado oil and now pumpkin seed oil. They all have their benefits depending on what you want them for or even making a combination of oils as a face and skin care routine. You could add these oils into your moisturiser such as QV cream, Cetaphil or whatever you use. You can also add essential oils for added protection such as frankincense, jasmine, bergamot, lavender and clary sage among others.

This is a list of essential oils that benefit your skin. I have a great stash of oils and use them in Cetaphil with jojoba, avocado and a couple of other oils. So if you’re interested you can make your own skincare products by adding some essential oils and cold pressed oils into your moisturiser and enjoy the benefits of glowing skin. 

15 Scents That Rats Hate (And How To Use Them)

I came across this and thought it might be useful for someone, so feel free to share. I had no idea that white vinegar was a deterrent. I have three big containers of the vinegar left over from when I had my four cats to use in breaking down the ammonia in cat wee. I do intend to have more cats one day so it will be used anyway. But to keep mice and rats at bay I can use the vinegar should they think of visiting, but having a Jack Russell in the house it would be a very silly rodent to visit our house. 

If you have neighbours who have chickens, rodents are always around and the rodents don’t mind visiting the neighbours. So it’s always good to know how to deter them in a non toxic way.
