Autumn Blues

In this kind of weather it is important to keep your selve hydrated and warm to protect your selve from cold and flues. What I love to do in the weather is make a big pot of herbal tea and sip on it all day. Choose a tea you love and enjoy that way you will want to drink it. We have been drinking tea for thousands of years because of it's known health benefits. This tea I absolutely love and it has a beautiful calming affect on the body. It tea can be found at  Ovvio Organics I recommend trying one of her teas they are all amazing.




And finally a little quote I found that says it all:
"Tea is liquid wisdom."  ~Anonymous
