The purpose of our project was to examine how accessible it would be to make medieval cosmetics from the Trotula while also learning about the beauty standards of the Medieval Ages. Two of our recipes were tested on a doll to detect any effects on its skin. I did a "recipe" that involved filling a veil with sweet-smelling ingredients such as cloves and nutmeg. The purpose was just to make the hair smell pleasant. I decided to make this recipe due to the fact that I wear a veil on a daily basis and I feel that my hair could smell more fragrant. The cloves and nutmeg had scents that were a little too overpowering for me, causing me to get a headache. Also, the smell seemed to cause people to give me funny looks. Overall, I do not feel like it was a successful recipe because it evoked my scalp to start itching. The recipe was too harsh for my scalp. …show more content…
For example, the danger of the ingredients was not conveyed. I used enough nutmeg to cover the veil, which came out to be approximately a teaspoon. Thankfully, this is much lower than the dosage of two tablespoons or more that can cause people to have out-of-body sensations, “intense nausea, dizziness, extreme dry mouth, and a lingering slowdown of normal brain function. Also, another common problem in medieval cosmetics was the fact that the amount of ingredients that needed to be used was not conveyed. I crushed one clove and one nutmeg considering they made a thin layer of spices that could be sprinkled on the veil. However, this might not be the amount that the recipe wanted, but there is no way to find out. In addition, the recipe does not specify how the veil should be tied. I decided to just tie it the way I regularly do with my neck and hair completely

I pass the jar over, he takes a big whiff, “Bleh, that smells like barf!” Laughing I take the jar back and inhale deeply, a slightly sweet and salty, perhaps musty smell not too dissimilar from Soy Sauce fills my nostrils. I sniff a few more times pondering if those who love Marmite all enjoy its pungent aroma or do some detest the smell but love the flavor. Peering into the jar, the Marmite itself is untouched, a glossy dark brown substance that looks a little like crude oil; I contemplate sticking my finger in for a taste but decide to wait and enjoy it on some

Judgement causes people to wear masks. In The Minister’s Black Veil by Nathaniel Hawthorne, people in the community judge Mr. Hooper for wearing a veil. Since he lives in a Puritan community everyone knew everything about each other, and if anyone misbehaved everyone would know about it. Hawthorne makes this evident in the first paragraph when he describes the way the town reacted when he wore the veil to a funeral sermon. In his sermon Hooper states that God is always watching, but the truth is that the townspeople are always watching and judging their peers. ”

A memorable and heavenly man aroma filled the air.
