Clary sage and lavender oil - how do they work to bring on labour?
THEY DONT... seriously i had my son 2 weeks ago.. he was 13 days late and i tried everything possible.. I drank raspberry leaf tea till it came out of my ears for the last month (supposed to induce/help labour)... I also sniffed clary sage oil till i felt physically sick.. NO CHANGE, nothing worked, just wives tales.. Although they do say that inhaling clary sage and drinking leaf tea during labour brings contractions stronger and closer together. I cant say whether that works or not as i was induced 4 times and eventually went on IV drip to make contractions come... GOOD LUCK xx
Reply:Lavender oil is a calming substance. You can put it on your pillow or drink lavender tea but really, your baby will come when he or she is ready. I know how impatient it gets when you're ready to pop but honestly, just let nature take its course unless the doctor advises otherwise.
Reply:i hope you have spoke to a beauty therapist or an aromatherapist before you try anything with essential oils as depending on the concentrations they can do you some harm during pregnancy. so id think it best to allow nature to bring on labour.

Need help choosing a wall color for sage green/light beige color scheme.?
I'm having a hard time choosing a wall color to go with my daughters new comforter set. Her furniture is an ivory color. She doesn't want anything bold... she wants something soothing and comfortable that will compliment her bedding and furniture. I also need help choosing a contrasting color for extra pillows on her bed. All suggestions welcomed! Thanks!
Need help choosing a wall color for sage green/light beige color scheme.?
I would paint the room "Divine White" by Sherwin Williams, with "alabaster" for the ceiling %26amp; any trim if that needs to be done.

As for a contrasting accent color, I would recommend burgundy or plum.
Reply:Wow, I'd go with the paint and drapes in the picture. I'd match the beige exactly for the paint.
A soft yellow that looks good with the sage would be nice for extra pillows, get a color wheel, or go to the paint store with a pillow case and match it.
I thought about a brown to contrast with the beige, but I think that would be too dark, with the sage, too.
I might think about some horizontal stripes, just a couple, maybe in the sage and the yellow, to pull everything together. Think about framing some matching fabric and hanging it as art work, or if you are talented, use the paint on a canvas as art.
Reply:How about pale yellow or chocolate brown or taupe
Reply:check into a dark brown

There, you can pick colors and find colors to go with ANYTHING!!

go to this link. In the mid-left side panel, you will see something that says launch color visualizer.
Click on that. From there you can choose a room, color any accents (curtains, beds, etc) then choose wall colors to accent! Its amazing!
Reply:I think pink and green is youthful yet sophisticated. I like the linens from Bed Bath and Beyond. This one is the one I would pick for a daughter...

Do sage plants multiply?
I want to plant a few near evergreen trees but don't want them to outgrow the area where they are being planted.
Do sage plants multiply?
My sage plant is about 16 years old and currently is about 3 feet in diameter. Since we rent, it has made it through 5 moves and has done better every year. If you find that it outgrows the area that you want to plant it in, you should have no problem moving it in the future.
I've only had one seedling start from dropped seed. You can usually prevent self-seeding by cutting back the flower stalks after the plant blooms. (My plant took 6 years before it bloomed, but that may not always be the case. The first few years I was collecting a lot of the leaves for drying, and that may have prevented flowering)
Reply:My sage plant has stayed in one spot for years. It doesn't seed and produce multiple babies, but just grows woody. In fact, I have dug it out this spring and bought a new one.
How much to charge as a Nanny?

Edit: Your welcome Anna!! I know someone that made a whole window seat area ith alot of these plants in in and found a wide variety the her kitties loved and each one had its own preference to each type of plants...it was great... I think everyone with cats should do this... it will help deter them away from the other household plants if you make a kitty garden... she has a pet bed in the middle and the kitties love it!!!
Reply:As a general rule herbs and cats is not a good idea as many can affect a cat adversely. Herbs are used in Chinese medicine and my old cat was on a vet-prepared mixture for kidney support. Catnip is a plant and is great with cats. Parsley is a diuretic and might cause some problems if the cat ate a lot.
Catnip and the grasses sold especially for cats would be a much safer choice. I would be inclined to stick with those. Cats evolved to be meat eaters and do not eat plants naturally. My cats sometimes eat grass from the garden to purge their stomachs. They don't eat the herbs I grown outside.
Reply:Yes, it is OK.
Catnip is an herb. Mint is fine for cats as well.
Parsley and mint also have the great side-effect of sweetening your cat's breath.
Reply:Absolutely, cats love to eat greens and grass when they are outside. Indoor cats typically don't get enough greens in their diet. Most plants that you would eat are fine for the cat. Just keep an eye out if he gets sick.
Reply:Sorry - i haven't got THYME to answer the question! lol
Reply:I love this question and "Savannah Mommy's" answer. My older kitty kept "asking" for sips of the warm water with lemon we take first thing in the am (ayurvedic, rids system of "ama" which block flow of chi) and that's how warm water with a few drops of lemon juice became a mainstay of his diet. He drinks that water like he's never seen water before.
I've been researching lemon grass and other very light herbal teas to add to his warm water each day, just a few drops. So this list provided is a great one for me to do further research before I use it. Each kitty, like each human, has a different constitutional type, and each kitty has to be treated as an individual. Cats were bred to be our companion over hundreds or more years, so they are not like wild animals, they have become quite flexible, adjusting to our lifestyle, yet, one must be super careful with them as well.
My cat and I have a feedback loop, he knows I look to him to tell me what he needs, and I offer him bits of what we are eating, and he'll take a "no thank you bite" - pretty much they can tell by smell if the food offered will be good for them. But then again, this cat is very wise, unlike some of my other cats who were not such an old soul as this one.
Reply:If you want to keep your kitties from eating your herbs try planting them some greenery of their own. Catgrass is cheap and ridiculously easy to grow. My kitties love it.
Reply:cant see why not.. its all natural! our bengal loves eating things she shouldn' especially sweetcorn!!

What is the correct name for what we call "sage bugs" (they smell like sage when you squish them!) ???
It's a small brown that flys and has a hard back. They come out mainly in the fall. We have billions of them now all over the outside of our home.

We have a bug that flies, is brown and looks like a prehistoric
creature. When they are squashed they stink.They came over from Asia When they get into the house you would think that
a dive bomber flew in. I hate them. This year they were not to bad.In Pa. we get Box Elder bugs. They live in the ground and come out mostly on a warm spring day.
Reply:If they are the little, brown, kinda round at the back about the size of an acorn they are what we call JUNE BUGS or grown GRUB WORMS. They are a big problem here too TX.
Reply:stink bugs which are also known as shield bugs
Reply:they are called them lovely stink bugs!!!!
Reply:whoa i think you are talking about the bugs that we call "stink bugs" i have always wondered what they are really called but never really cared enough to find out so kudos to you for asking!

How many books are in the series Septimus Heap by Angie Sage?
I heard that it was a trilogy, but then other say there will be five books. I personally think there will be more books as Physik left me with a lot of questions, but I'm not so sure...
How many books are in the series Septimus Heap by Angie Sage?
I have the first two, Magyk and Flyte. The third one is Physik.
I'm only half way through Flyte. It isn't moving as fast as Magyk did.
You really should read Magyk first, then Flyte, before reading Physik. As in all series, the first lays the foundation and introduces the main characters. The next book builds on that foundation, etc.
Reply:Theres actually gonna be 7 books in all. FACT Report It
Reply:yup, a septoligy Report It
