Tea Time: Pumpkin Spice and Skin Troubles

     Hey guys! What's up? It's been a minute and I'm happy to be back. It's a new era here on the blog and there are some different things I'm going to be introducing. One of the things is here right now! Tea Time is going to be a really lax series that I'll be posting. It's just a cup of tea and some ramblings for the post. Hope you guys like it!

     Today I'm drinking some pumpkin spice black tea. The tea is from Timothy's and is made of black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cove, nutmeg, star anise, melon, and orange. It's a very fragrant and yummy tea.
      I'd like to rant about my skin for just a second. It's like my skin is sensitive to everything! Honestly I try so many different skin care and makeup products hoping that it'll do my skin some good, but everything just ends up making my face go red, itchy, and generally inflamed. It's pretty disheartening to be honest. 
     I always try to stick with natural products and moisturize with coconut oil and shea butter, but I just love trying different products. What can I say? Anyone else have this problem? Anyway, this is what tea time is going to be like here. Great tea by the way. Hope everyone's having a wonderful day!

Simply Gum Review!

Hello! You guys ever crave gum, but don't want all the nasty ingredients in so many of them? Here's a solution!
About Simply Gum
      Simply Gum was started when the founder of Simply Gum, Caron was done with her lunch and reached for her gum. She decided to check up on some of the ingredients in the gum and didn't like her findings. Caron knew that a simpler gum needed to be made, thus was the beginning of Simply Gum.
     Most chewing gum is made with artificial ingredients in the base and sweeteners like aspartame that many people are sensitive to. Simply Gum is made with natural ingredients and is handmade in NYC.It is biodegradable and made without any artificial flavors or sweeteners. Simply Gum offers mint, ginger, cinnamon, coffee, licorice, and maple flavors!

Kava Time Caramels Review!

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great day/night/whatever! I have an exciting review today that I've been dying to write, so let's get into it! (Using a lot of exclamation points today, but I'm just so excited I guess?!!!!)
About Kava Time
     The owner and creator of Kava Time first had the idea after returning from a vacation in Hawaii. She enjoyed kava and it's natural relaxing properties during her stay, despite the earthy taste. Back home in Oregon, she tried to recreate the kava root, but it turned out even muddier. She then experimented and made caramels with kava root. Eventually, the recipe was perfected and here we are today!

Aroma Naturals HUGE Collective Review!

     Hello! I have a lot of items to review from Aroma Naturals. I'm so excited for these beauty and home products because they are natural and high quality!

     For about 20 years, Aroma Naturals has been making exactly what their name suggests; natural products with aromatherapy. Aroma Naturals uses ingredients that are fresh, pure, and good for us and the environment. Their candles are always plant-based and contain no synthetic fragrances. They now have a wide array of products that range from home fragrance to skin care, which are coincidentally, pretty much my two favorite things.

True Lemon Review Part 1!

Hello! Today I have a review for some natural powdery goodness for you guys! 

About True Lemon
     It all started out when the creator, David Schleider, thought that fresh lemon taste, would be great if it was in a packet. For 3 years, David developed a product using fruit juices and oils. Now, True Lemon is a company of citrus lovers who love what they do! True Lemon is a brand that makes products from real fruit.  The products are intended for the customers to have a healthier life by using simple and natural ingredients. This is exactly what I look for in products! True Lemon contains no artificial flavors, preservatives, sodium, or gluten.
