Lifestyle + Entertaining

“As far as Mom was concerned, tea fixed everything.  Have a cold?  Have some tea.  Broken bones?  There’s a tea for that too.  Somewhere in her mother’s pantry, Laurel suspected, was a box of tea that said, ‘In case of Armageddon, steep three to five minutes’.”  – Aprilynne Pike, Illusions

Tea, an age old beverage that has been in different cultures throughout the world for centuries has finally become a mainstay in my daily life.   I used to love nothing more than a diet coke at lunch or some old school ice tea from the restaurant around the corner from my store.   Those days are gone, as I have moved onto something that will benefit my body instead of dehydrating it with a slew of processed chemicals and junk.   When I was diagnosed with cancer last year,  an old friend and skin care extraordinaire – Diane Rudolph, gave me a cold brew tea infuser.  She had got me onto a skin care regime through Rodan and Fields (click here for link to her products) and suggested I  try making green tea each day.   How could I refuse, especially when she gifted me with the tool to make it!?  Now I am hooked, and I have tailored it to what works best for me.  I highly recommend this for anyone looking to clean and gently detox their body, and help with digestion each day.  read more
