If there is something that is always an eye-catcher it is beautiful and strong nails. I've always wanted strong nails and tried quite a few products, but nothing really helped until one day... You will soon get to know me, I nibble on or try anything to learn more about what is going on around me. So that night, after skinning some potatoes for dinner, I took some potato peels and while watching my favourite South African soapy - 7de Laan - I rubbed my nails with the flesh side of a potato peel. Later in the week when I cooked with potatoes again, I did exactly the same - rubbing my nails with some potato peel. The outcome was remarkable! Within about a month I could see a difference and after another month I couldn't believe my eyes. My nails were healthy, shiny with white tips and strong. Never am I going to buy expensive products ever again for beautiful nails!           

Hi, it’s me again, Charmaine. I would like to show you step-by-step how to make lentil sprouts on the cheap. Either the brown lentils or the black lentils will do. In South Africa, a packet of 250g sprouts normally cost around R16 to R18 in the local retail shops. For this article, I’m going to round the amount off to R20. Say for example I grow sprouts 13 times from one 250g packet and the packet cost R20. This will mean that the cost of the sprouted seeds would be more or less R1,50. I haven’t weighed it yet, but I estimate that it is approximately the same volume as a punnet of sprouts you would buy at a chain store, and the last time I checked the price for such a punnet of sprouts were in the region of R15 per punnet. Now that is a whopping 1000% difference! Growing lentil sprouts is very easy and you do not have to buy anything – in fact, you can make use of what you have at home.

In this article, the term ‘Leafy Vegetables’ was adopted to refer to the collection of plant species which are used as leafy vegetables and which are referred to as morogo or imifino by African people in South Africa. The collection of these types of leafy vegetables from the wild, or from cultivated fields where some of them grow like weeds, has a long history that has been intimately linked to women and their traditional livelihood tasks. Among poor people in remote rural areas, the use of these types of leafy vegetables is still common but nationwide there is evidence of decline, particularly in urban areas. Cultivation of leafy vegetables is restricted to a narrow group. In this eBook seven groups of leafy vegetables were given special attention to and their nutritional values, ecology, use, and cultivation are discussed. The beauty of weed is that it is not bound to a certain country. Wild edible plants are readily available across the globe. Download my "Lea
