Experiencing the Difference: featuring Harney & Sons Teas

4/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Tea offers among the most powerful of health benefits in a wide range of delectable tastes and intoxicating scents from all around the world. It is more than a simple morning or afternoon addition to the everyday schedule, as for many, it’s a part of a greater lifestyle choice. Many employ organic teas to fight diseases, to ease ailments and other discomforts, as well as knocking off rust that the body incurs from the busy hustle bustle of our modern world. Tea is loaded with antioxidants, which help to filter toxins out from the body, while feeding us micronutrients that our bodies and brains need to operate at a high level, but there’s so much more that tea can do for us…

Teas have been found to help soothe digestion issues, and they can assist with weight loss, while helping to promote good bones, too. And they assist in improving mood; they boost immune system, help to fight cancers, and can replace your caffeine intake from coffee, while offering a dietary option that’s calorie free. The benefits range, but there’s little to doubt when it comes to the natural taste and medicinal approach that can be had with quality tea. One of my favorite tea companies is that of 
Harney & Sons, because they specialize in high quality tea blends that bring together a range of herbal tastes, smells and health benefits.

Finding Truth in the Mountains with Help from G Pen

4/3/2018

Picture
When I lived in Colorado, the Rocky Mountains always drew me in. When I wasn’t in them, among the rocks and the trees, I would stare at them in the distance and think about them, and dream of better times spent in nature. There’s just something magical, or mystical, or homey about being out far enough that I no longer hear or see signs of fellow humans, because only then am I getting back to the origins of life. A distinct peacefulness and sensation of belonging comes over me in the unspoiled wilder places of the world.

Review: Thin Dream Pillow by Lofty Sleep

As an avid traveler, I seem to rough it more than I perhaps should, because as my trips get longer and more demanding, the more wear and tear I notice on my body. Where simple fatigue once burdened me, now chronic issues have become mainstays in my everyday life. Sure, some of that comes with age, no doubt, but I can distinctly track my neck and back pains to certain trips. Some trips were road trips, where I spent anywhere from five to fifteen hours a day in a car (with awful bucket style seats), and others were backpacker trips, where I lived out of a heavy rucksack that sat on my shoulders like a hundred-plus pound weight.

No matter how much my back and neck suffer as a result of my travels, I will never regret them, because my mind has evolved and has expanded, and forever I will carry my experiences with me; experiences that continue to provide me with wisdom and knowledge about the world, people and places, while new perspectives aid me in my ability to see clearly and to reason when real life requires it. So, with much of the last year being focused on regional travel, natural travel and novel writing, I’ve noticed my issues working their way into my sleep, and into my more physical days.

In the new and exciting world of legalized cannabis, all sorts of new inventions, toys and new takes on old ways of doing things are coming out onto the market. How, you might ask… Well, with new minds and a new vision comes a new way of thinking about a plant that was once thought to be among the most dangerous in the world. But with the advent of the internet, truth is coming out of the tainted propaganda campaigns, and so things are changing; and fast.

Finding A Remedy in Tea: featuring Numi

Tea is among the most important things to add to a daily diet, because they are packed with antioxidants, which prevent the body from rusting while keeping us young, among many other reasons that I will get to shortly. So not only does tea filter our toxins and provide us with micronutrients that our bodies need, they can also provide a myriad of health benefits, such as soothing digestion, weight loss, help to promote good bones, assist in mood, boost immune system, help to fight cancer, and can replace your caffeine intake over coffee; and they are calorie free. The benefits range, but there’s little to doubt when it comes to the natural taste and medicinal approach that can be had with quality organic teas like Numi.

Review: Xyrena’s Blue Dream & Cloud No. 9 Fragrances

4/1/2018

Women’s perfume and men’s cologne can be luxurious and intoxicating, yet the deeper truth is that most mainstream fragrances are harmful, filled with chemicals and toxins, or they’re sourced in a not-so-friendly way from the environment, many of which harm other living things. But there’s hope for those who still want to smell beautiful and engaging while also being environmentally conscious. It’s an important perspective to take, because the harm on others and yourself isn’t worth a pleasant scent that steals the senses, among other things.
