Nothing like making your guests feel welcome with a fun guest bathroom makeover. Try this towel folded over and add a mini bouquet of dried lavender. Just adds that special touch. Add a cute wood bathroom tray with some fun lavender products to solve your guests issues and make them feel comfortable and relaxed. You know how sometimes you don't sleep very well when not in your own bed? Combat that with lavender sleep spray. Another issue...Ummm...you know how you hate to go to the bathroom at someone else's house and leave unpleasant scent lingering. Use Lavender room spray to keep the odors eliminated. We also like to put out a new bar of lavender oatmeal soap perfect for those who have sensitive skin. Lavender lotion perfect for dry winter months where your skin is more dry and itchy. We add a little lavender essential oil that our guests can use if they have a headache or stomach issues. In addition we add a little lavender perfume oil, because it simply makes one feel pampered.

What is lavender hydrosol? What is it good for and how do you use it? These are the topics covered in this post today.  The Benefits of Lavender Hydrosol What is is hyrdrosol? Hydrosol is the floral water created from making essential oil. This process is called, steam distillation. Steam heats and passes through the plant material and the result is floral water and essential oil. The essential oil gets extracted from the waters surface and the water left over is the infusion of the plant material. The floral water smells similar to the essential oil but much softer in fragrance and in addition has the water soluble constituents of the plant material which can give it a very slight greener note.

I mostly share with you lavender recipes, but today I wanted to share a tablescape for your Fall decor. You may have heard me say, "a cocktail is hardly a cocktail without a little bling" (garnishes). I feel table decor much the same, you need a little spirit of the season to set the mood or tone for the dinner you have created.  I am no means a florist, but the nice thing about lavender is it looks absolutely gorgeous stuffed into a vase, a jar or even a wood bowl or tray. So for you non florist bouquet people you can purchase some wheat, cat tails and green stemmed leaves like eucalyptus and your local grocery store. Paired together and placed into a hollowed out pumpkin sets a beautiful display for fall, halloween or Thanksgiving dinner.  No need to think to hard about it, the general rule is to have odd number of items is more pleasing to the eye. So if your adding eucalyptus just count and add an odd number of them. I don't know why that is, but see it for yourself.  Feel free to share our tablescape pictures and idea, but please make sure to tag us @norwoodlavenderfarm or give photo credit.
