If you know me, you know I am a bit of a workaholic. Sometimes I ignore my body screaming at me to slow down and this weekend I was forced to listen…a head cold brought me down! I’m always reminded of the power of strong herbal tea when my body is at its weakest. I must’ve made 30 cups of immunity and anti-inflammatory blends over the past two days. My stainless steel tea steeper and favorite @curious.clay mug did me well. I could go on and on about my love of herbal tea. The Terra Luna tea set is my way of getting this love to you! Tap for more info on the herbal tea starter set. 🌱 🍵

Tea time! ‘Tis the season for drinking warming mugs of tea in your coziest chair, good book in hand. And Voloshin and Terra Luna Herbals are teaming up for an event that will teach you how to make your very own herbal tea blends—and send you home with the goods to get started. Do it.

Thursday
Start weaning yourself off of your snooze button. If you’ve pressed snooze approximately 31 times this week (we relate), let it be known: The snooze button does your sleep no good, according to experts. So, harsh suggestion: Stop using it. Do it.
