A New Ritual for a New Season of Life: Tea Time with Botanica Science

Thanks to Botanica Science and Socialite for partnering with me for today’s post. All thoughts and opinions are my own, as always.

All summer long I have been working on transforming the contents of our pantry and our refrigerator. Processed foods have slowly gotten the boot, and whole grains reign supreme. We have ample storage now for fruits and veggies to encourage their purchase and their consumption, and we are buying organic options as much as possible (yes, it’s expesive, an therefore, a bit painful, which is why it has taken all summer to switch over!).

Now that I know I’m putting good things into my body, I’m ready to invite all that junk that is hanging out in my body (trapped in my gut, in my fat cells, etc) to exit the building. This is the right time for me to take on a detox. But this mama can’t go all out with a 14-day juice cleanse or the like.

But I’ve got time for a few cups of tea!

I’m using the Botanica Science SkinnyTox 14-day organic herbal detox regimen, which consists of two different types of tea. I am taking the Organic Energy Berry Blend first thing in the morning, 30 minutes before I eat breakfast, and I’m taking the Organic Herbal Detox (which is my favorite!) 30 minutes before bed.

These teas are designed to help support your metabolism during the day and give you a natural energy boost, and they are also designed to help you have a healthy colon and digestive tract. Other folks who have used these teas report that they help with losing water weight and reduce bloating. That bloated feeling is what plagues me the most, and I definitely attribute it to my body needing to shed a lot of the toxic junk it is holding on to.

If you are just not feeling yourself lately and if you are also working on changing some of your eating habits, it might be a good time to think about trying a detox program of some sort. I wouldn’t advise doing it if you aren’t also giving your body healthy food options, as there’s not much of a point in trying to get rid of junk in your body when you are putting junk back in it at the same time!

I’m finding these teas, so far, to be very gentle and really just a great way to start and end my day; very comforting and calm! It’s the type of detox that fits well into my daily routine. And I absolutely love that it’s organic!
