DIY Orange & Fennel Toner

March 28, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 5 Comments

Fennel seeds & fennel essential oil contain plant oestrogen s& phytohormones that firm and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the dermal cell metabolism ( sounds good right )  This lovely balancing, rejuvenating fragrant toner is especially beneficial for sluggish, untoned, lined skin whether it be oily or dry. Perfect for us oldies 🙂 Best to use this infusion with 2 – 3 days or freeze in ice – cubes for later use.

YOU WILL NEED

1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

5 tablespoons boiling water

2 teaspoons orange juice ( freshly squeezed is best )

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Crush the fennel seeds using a mortar & pestle. Cover with boiling water and leave covered for 20 minutes.

2. Strain the infusion, mix with juice and bottle.

keep it in the fridge to prolong it’s shelf life.

    This I have to try. I make my own face scrub from almonds and oatmeal which I grind up. Then just use some cream, scrub my face and I end up with nice soft skin. What would be better than to have a toner that is homemade also. Thanks for the instructions.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
