From Relaxation to Creation: A Journey into Yoga and Natural Cosmetics
This Monday we had a yoga session with Coach Sarah, it was absolutely amazing. What a great way to start the week! Yoga is such an important practice. It helps you breathe properly, become more flexible, improve focus, and even manifest positivity. I really enjoyed this session. It was the perfect balance of movement and relaxation, leaving me feeling free and completely relaxed. My body truly needed it, and it reminded me of the importance of taking time for self-care. Thank you, Coach Sarah, for such a refreshing and energizing start to the day!
On Wednesday during the program, we had the privilege of attending an inspiring class led by Khadija Barakat, an entrepreneur and expert in natural cosmetics. Khadija is the founder and owner of the cooperative Khayrat Wa Ibdaa Bladi, an organization specializing in the production of natural cosmetics. Her passion for utilizing natural products was evident throughout the training.
The session was thoughtfully divided into two parts: theory and practice. In the theoretical session, Khadija shared invaluable insights into the processing and valorization of medicinal and aromatic herbs. She explained the delicate art of distillation, the maceration of herbs, and the techniques for drying vegetables and fruits to preserve their natural benefits. Her expertise made the session both engaging and educational.
The practical session was hands-on and exciting. Khadija guided us step-by-step through the process of making a natural solid soap and a luxurious natural cream. She didn’t hold back in sharing additional recipes and tips, leaving us inspired to experiment with creating our own products at home.
This training was more than just a learning experience, it was a celebration of sustainable practices and the power of nature. Khadija’s expertise and generosity reminded us of the importance of using natural ingredients and supporting local cooperatives that contribute to environmental preservation.
As I walked away from the session, I couldn’t help but feel motivated to dive deeper into the world of natural cosmetics. This experience underscored the importance of blending tradition with innovation to create products that are both effective and environmentally friendly.
