Such A Female

My UK beauties have been asking for advice on all-natural & organic hair/skin care and I thought my gorgeous natural love, Corinne Bailey Rae, would be the perfect person to ask! She suggested trying Rahua Shampoo, Liz Earle Botanical Shine Conditioner and Nuxe Oil (also available at Urban Outfitters) as a curl refresher. She just leaves some of the Liz Earle conditioner in her hair (after washing it) and braids it up while wet. Then she takes the braids down the next day and rocks the braid out look. She suggested the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish for the face and the Superskin Concentrate for the body. Her fav everyday foundation is the Giorgio Armani “Luminous”. Hope that helps! ☺😘

My grandmother grew up in this tiny village in Barbados, and she was the only kid in the village to have a cricket bat. She used to play with all the boys, but then they started stealing the bat every time she bought it out of the house and saying that she couldn’t play because girls shouldn’t play sport. So one day she invited them to come play cricket, then set fire to the bat and made them watch it burn, so none of them could play cricket anymore. She was 11.

Ix Chel or Ixchel is the Mayan Goddess of medicine, the moon, water, and weaving. She is also known as the Lady Rainbow. She is a protectress of weavers and women in labor. In mythology, Ix Chel is married to Itzamna being the consort of the sun. Her destructive side causes natural disasters dealing with water such as heavy rains and floods; this makes her associated with water. The Goddess is depicted as an exhausted woman with a snake on her head. Symbols that represent destruction such as crossbones surround her to emphasize her destructive power of water.

Her association with helping women give birth to children is shown in myth. After her grandfather discovered she was living with Itzamna, he killed her. Dragonflies sang around her grave, and Ix Chel resurrected. When she returned to Itzamna, he thought she was having an affair with Venus (the morning star) and became envious. The Goddess returned to him after he begged for her return. However, he was still jealous, and Ix Chel decided to leave him for good. In result, the Goddess roamed the night invisibly to help women in labor.
