Relaxing Sleep Tea by Cuppa Magic

*Relaxing Sleep Tea by Cuppa Magic

I'm pretty much a sucker for just about any tea. I drink tea everyday, hot and cold. I just love it! I also love trying new flavors and brands so I was excited to try out this Relaxing Sleep Tea since I already love to drink a bedtime tea.

This Relaxing Sleep Tea has some wonderful ingredients like Chamomile, Holy Basil and Ginger Root that are known to help you relax and help you get a better nights sleep.

I really like the taste of this Relaxing Sleep Tea.  The flavor is really mild and so is the aroma which has hints of the Ginger and even some Mint.  Just the smell is relaxing to me, which is exactly what I need right before bed!

Now for someone who has sleep issues on a regular basis this tea isn't going to knock you and make you sleep for 8 solid hours but it will help you relax and fall asleep more easily.

I recommend drinking this Tea about 30 min. before bed and then make sure you have your bedroom at a cool temp, that your bed is nice and cozy and your jammies are comfy and all these things combined will ensure a good nights sleep!

Delicious Tea Delivered Right To Your Door by Teabook

*Delicious Tea Delivered Right To Your Door by Teabook

I consider myself a bit of a Tea junkie.  I love tea of all kinds but all tea is not created equal.  I've had some bad teas over the years and because of that I feel like I know what to look for and smell for when it comes to picking out a quality tea.  

So, when I heard there was a tea subscription box by Teabook I knew I had to test it out.  My first box came with a really cool BPA-free glass tumbler that is also is free of other harmful chemicals, double-walled so you can keep your tea hot without burning your hands!  Plus, it also came with a nice assortment of Green, Oolong, White and Red loose teas to try.  I love the Teabook Tea Tumbler it's a great quality tumbler and perfect to drink my tea on the go!  I am also really impressed with the teas.  I have tried all the flavors and all of them are delicious.  I'm partial to a nice Green Tea so that one is probably my favorite.  Overall, they are nice quality teas with rich flavor and color.  These teas are sure to please any tea lover!

By now you are probably wanting to know how the subscription box service works.  Basically, it's $24.99 per month if you purchase from teabook.co and your first box will arrive with that cool Teabook Tumbler I was talking about.  You will receive premium quality loose leaf tea in pre-portioned packets.  Each following month you will continue to receive rare or premium quality loose leaf tea in pre-portioned packets.  Of course you can always skip a month for whatever reason if you need to.  For the quality and the amount of tea that you get I think it's a bargain.

However, if you are just wanting a trial run you can also purchase a Teabook box off of Amazon as well. (See specific links below).

For more detailed information go to teabook.co and you can also purchase Teabook items on Amazon.com...

Vanilla Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder by Pure Goodness

*Vanilla Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder by Pure Goodness 

I have a protein smoothie for breakfast just about every morning so choosing a protein powder that not only tastes good but is good for me is really important to me and I've tried quite a few of them.

However, I have never tried any protein powder quite like this Vanilla Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder by Pure Goodness that was sent to me to test out!

I wasn't sure what to expect since it's made from pumpkin seeds but I have yet to meet anything pumpkin or it's seeds that I didn't like so I figured I was probably going like this protein powder.  Not only do I like it I actually love it!  I have found myself grabbing for it every morning over all my other protein powders!

Let's talk smell and taste.  You can definitely smell pumpkin seed when you open the container and I personally think it smells really yummy.  However, I was surprised that it didn't really taste like pumpkin seeds.  It just has more of a general nut flavor and I got the Vanilla flavor so there is also a hint of Vanilla.  This protein powder is made with naturally nutrient-rich Styrian pumpkin seeds from Austira,  Apparently, the Styrian pumpkin seeds have a higher concentration of antioxidants, vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids than your normal American pumpkin seed, which is not so shocking.  The seeds are jam packed with protein and also contain 9 essential amino acids.  Not only does this Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder make for a great tasting smoothie but it also makes for really good protein pancakes!  Yum!!

What I really like about this Vanilla Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder by Pure Goodness is that it is Non-GMO,gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and vegan and paleo friendly.  Plus, it's free from artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.  Really, there is nothing that I don't like about this protein powder or the brand Pure Goodness.  They even donate 1% of sales to help provide nutritious food to communities in need across the US!

If you have been searching for a healthy, nutritious alternative to your normal protein powder I would give this one a shot.  They also make Hemp Seed Protein Powder but I haven't had a chance to try that one out yet.  However, I am almost done with my Pumpkin Protein so Hemp is next on my list to test out!

You can find Pure Goodness Protein Powders here and you can also find it on Amazon.

Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle by Liquid Savvy

*Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle by Liquid Savvy

If you haven't made the switch to Stainless Steel Water Bottles what are you waiting for?  I made the switch months ago and I will never go back to using plastic water bottles for lots of reason.  Of course the main reason is because there is enough plastic in the world already and I don't need to add to it.  However, I also like my water to be really cold and with traditional water bottles at some point it becomes room temperature.  Even if you add ice, eventually that ice melts.  Investing in a Stainless Steel Water Bottle ensures that your water is ice cold when you want it to be or your coffee is nice and hot when you want it to be.
This Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle by Liquid Savvy is a great one to invest in.  Not only is it an exceptional Stainless Steel Bottle but it comes with three leak-proof lids.  It comes with a flip top lid, integrated carabiner lid, and a multi-purpose tethered lid.  I have yet to see any other Stainless Steel Bottle that comes with three lids.  Plus, you cannot beat the price at only $24.97.  I have purchased other Stainless Steel Water Bottles that are almost twice that much and this one by Liquid Savvy is equally as good AND it comes with three lids!
I can fill my Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle by Liquid Savvy half way with ice and the other half water and it will still have the ice in it the next day.  That translates into nice, ice cold water for me all day long!  Another great feature is that these Stainless Steel Water Bottles do no sweat.  I keep one of these next to my bedside, another one at my desk and then I have another one that I use in my car.  Love them!  Once you make the switch you will never want to go back to plastic water bottles ever again!

For more information or to purchase go to liquidsavvy.com and you can also find them on Amazon...

*Singbulli Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea by Golden Tips Teas

I am a slight obsession with all things Tea.  Plus, I'm not picky...I like them all black, white, green it's all pretty delish to me.  I also like it hot and cold and usually have about 3 cups a day and testing new brands and flavors is one of my favorite things to do!

Shatterproof Plastic Wine Glasses by Evino

*Shatterproof Plastic Wine Glasses by Evino

I am really liking the Stemless Wine Glass trend and I love that I can take it one step further and get Shatterproof Plastic Wine Glasses like these by Evino.  Truth is I use my Shatterproof Plastic Wine Glasses for everything, not just wine.  Actually, everyone else in the house uses them too!

These glasses are BPA Free, just the way we all like them and are also great quality.  The plastic is so clear and smooth that they almost look like real glass.  They are perfect to use for outdoor BBQ's and to take camping.

They are also Dishwasher Safe in low temps so you don't have to worry about hand washing them, although, as with most plastic they will probably stay newer looking if you do.

Premium Masala Green Chai Tea by Golden Tips Teas

*Premium Masala Green Chai Tea by Golden Tips Teas

I am a bit of a Tea fanatic and I am always on the hunt for a new tea and one of my favorites is Chai Tea.  So, naturally when I came across this Premium Masala Green Chai Tea I knew I had to give it a try!
The first thing that hits you when you open this bag of  Masala Green Chai Tea is the intense, spicy smell and it smells wonderful.  You can pick out the hints of Clove and Cinnamon that are the basis of Chai.  If they could make the smell of this Tea into a candle I would buy it!
Masala Chai Tea helps improve sleep, detoxify the body and relieves stress while the Organic Darjeeling loose-leaf tea promotes calmness and also helps reduce stress.  Basically, one cup of this Tea and your feeling pretty chill and in the best way!
This Masala Green Chai Tea by Golden Tips Teas is also all about freshness and I love that each bag of Tea has origin, date of picking, tea type, estate listed.  Their teas are packaged in double air sealed zipper pouches within 24-72 hours of production at their source in India to ensure that the flavor, aroma & character of the tea is preserved at all times.
Since great lengths are taken to ensure we are are getting the freshest and best quality Tea each cup is full of flavor.  I like to steep my tea for about 4 minutes, I find I get the best flavor with that amount of time.
If you love Chai Tea or Green Tea then you are sure to love this!

Organic Moringa Leaf Powder by Zen Principle

*Organic Moringa Leaf Powder by Zen Principle

Drinking a cup of Moringa Leaf Tea can deliver amazing health benefits and I am all about a good cup of healthy tea!  However, I like to use Moringa Leaf Powder in my skincare routine.  Being a beauty blogger I love testing out the latest skincare products and finding out this Organic Moringa Leaf Powder by Zen Principle can be used to make face masks made me almost giddy!

Hands down, my favorite skincare product is a good mask so of course I had to get out my trusty Facial DIY Mask Bowl & Tools Set to make up my own Organic Moringa Leaf Powder face masks.

Moringa has an amazingly high concentration of vitamins and minerals so it's no wonder it's so good for your skin.  Organic Moringa Leaf Powder is packed with over 90 vitamins and minerals including 20+ types of amino acids, 40+ antioxidants, 35+ anti-inflammatory compounds, protein, Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils and phytonutrients.  Amazing, right?

I tried and tested a few different concoctions and while I liked them all the stand out recipe was my Organic Moringa Rose Water Mask.  This mask left my skin feeling deep cleaned, decongested, soothed, soft and smooth which are all the traits I look for in a good mask!

Organic Moringa Rose Water Mask

 *1-2 Tbsp. of Organic Moringa Leaf Powder by Zen Principle

*2 Tbsp. of InstaNatural Moroccan Rose Water

*1 Tsp. of Gio Naturals Organic Jojoba Oil

Mix together all the ingredients in your bowl and apply mask to freshly cleansed skin.  Leave on for 20 minutes or until dry and then wash off to reveal fresh and rejuvenated skin!  *You may need to adjust the measurements depending on how thick you like your mask.*

Organic Moringa Leaf Powder by Zen Principle is a great product to have on hand to help keep you healthy on the inside and the out!  If you are like me and into drinking tea Moringa is one tea that you should not over do it.  Even though it's totally safe when used correctly the roots and extracts can possibly be toxic so it's probably best to stay away from it if you are pregnant or nursing.

Wild Tea by Wild Foods

*Wild Tea by Wild Foods

I love all things Tea but not all Tea is created equal. I mean I have had some bad Tea in my life. But, trying out different kinds of Tea is one of my favorite things to do. 

 I also love it when I discover a new fabulous brand of Tea and this Wild Tea by Wild Foods is definitely a new fav!  Wild Foods is start up located in Austin, Texas that specializes in real food ingredients where they come from, how they are made and how they fuel us for health and performance and it clearly comes across in their Wild Teas.

I tried out three very distinct flavors, Organic Coconut Chai Rooibos, Organic Green Jasmine and Hibiscus Mint and I cannot pick a favorite because they were ALL delicious and they all provided a variety of different health benefits!  

The Coconut Chai Rooibos has great flavor with a blend of ginger, coconut flakes, cloves, safflower, crushed chilis and other organic flavorings.  Wild Food recommends that you drink the Coconut Chai Rooibos an after dinner tea.  It not only helps curb fatigue after a meal but it will also help settle your stomach and aid in digestion.  Additionally it contains cinnamon which has a insulin-curbing effect and helps to reduce the amount of calories that are stored as fat following your meal.

The Organic Green Jasmine is the perfect antioxidant Tea.  It helps improve blood flow, lowers cholesterol, helps reduce heart-related issues and high blood pressure.  For a skincare addict like myself this might a favorite just because this Organic Green Jasmine also helps prevent wrinkles and signs of aging due to the anti-inflammatory activities of the many compounds included.  It contains vitamins A, D, E, C, B, B5, H, K, Carotene, Folate, Manganese and Potassium.

The Hibiscus Mint is the perfect "anytime" Teas since it's caffeine free and it just smells amazing so naturally it tastes pretty amazing as well.  This Tea is another one that is full of antioxidants and it also has hypocholesterolemic and antihypertensive properties.  The antioxidants can help fight off the damage done by free radicals inside your body.  

I actually enjoy drinking this one cold and on ice, it's super refreshing because of the Mint!

It's pretty safe to say that I am officially a Wild Foods fan and can't wait to try more of their products!  Go to wildfoods.co and check out all their products and try out some of their amazing Tea for yourself.  You can also find their Teas over on Amazon...
