With Thanksgiving approaching, the hustle and bustle is in effect prepping for great food, family, and fun. If you’re like myself, you’ll be using fresh herbs to prepare tasty meals for the holiday season. Rosemary goes great with potatoes and sage adds a colorful twist to stuffing, but did you know that these herbs make a great hair rinse that is easy to make? So, while preparing your shopping list, grab some of these extra herbs to give your hair a nice treat.
Rosemary and Sage Hair Rinse
1/2 c each of fresh rosemary and sage
1/4 c cider vinegar
1 qt water
Place rosemary and sage in large bowl. Boil water and pour over herbs in bowl. Strain and discard herbs. Add vinegar and mix well.
After shampooing, use 1/2 to 1 ounce as final rinse. Rinsing hair and completely removing shampoo is necessary in achieving clean and shiny hair.

In case you didn’t know, I’ve had major fall fever this year which has resulted in my family visiting some of the beautiful state parks of Georgia. Recently, we visited Amicalola Falls in Dawsonville, GA–home of the tallest cascading waterfalls southeast of the Mississippi. One word about this gift from Mother Nature–BREATHTAKING!

Picture perfect sunset
That was our first time visiting, but definitely not the last. If you need a place to reflect, connect with Mother Nature, or just a moment of peace, Amicalola tops my list!
As promised in yesterday’s post, I have some more pics to share with you from Tallulah Gorge. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature!
We're getting started on the first trail. The foliage was picturesque.

Proud of the wee ones for fearlessly walking across the suspension bridge

Couldn't get enough of the vibrant leaves greeting us everywhere
Even the drive home was awesome yet peaceful
Truly, a humbling and great place to visit…I can only hope to return soon, very soon.
This past weekend, my family visited Tallulah Gorge State Park located in Tallulah Falls, Georgia. The park is home to a gorge that is two miles long and close to 1,000 feet deep. We were lucky enough to visit during the “peak leaf season” for viewing the vibrant colors of leaves changing.

Suspension bridge that is incredible to walk on
I’ll share some more beautiful views tomorrow…I’m also hoping to have a short video taken from the suspension bridge. The sound and view is awesome, so lets cross our fingers that I can get it uploaded smoothly!
