  • Natural Puerh Tea

    Which of the little Peanuts are natural puerh tea drinkers?? Originally, I was a coffee only kind of gal in the mornings. I truly didn’t believe that tea would give me that first jolt of energy to get me going. Boy was I wrong.  Tea not only wakes me up but the variety available is endless. Natural Puerh graciously sent me a couple of loose-leaf teas to review. Natural Puerh has teas of every strength, flavor and special blends a tea lover would want. The Peacock Green tea I is full of flavor and delicious! The taste is so smooth. I placed 2 teaspoons of leaves into the tea infuser, poured boiling water over the infuser. Steeped for 4 minutes. This tea was delicious without adding any sweetener. The second tea is Phoenix Black Tea. This was my favorite.  This tea tastes rich and smooth.  Again 2 teaspoons of leaves into the tea infuser, poured boiling water over the infuser. Steeped for 4 minutes. I didn’t need any sweetener for this tea either. Natural Puerh has so many teas to choose from along with a wide assortment of stunning tea pots. There are beautiful Ceramic Gaiwan teacups. Whatever you are…

    Hot Cherry Pillows

    I have to tell you when I first heard about Hot Cherry Pillows the first thing that popped into my mind was Warrents song Sweet Cherry Pie. Yes, again, it’s one of those weird things I remember. I know all the words to that song released 30 years ago (but can’t for the life of me remember what I want to the kitchen for 10 minutes ago!) Then as I started writing this post “Sweet Cherry Wine” by Neil Diamond came to mind…… ohhhh how my mind does wander. It’s a scary place up in my mind. ANYWHOOOOOOOOO; Now that I have those two songs loud and clear in your mind as well, I want to introduce you to Hot Cherry Pillows. It’s NOT even a SONG!! It’s a hot cold therapy pillow. Seriously, this thing is AWESOME!!  Therapy pillow is such a better description than heating pad. WHY??  Two fold. First, when you move the pillow it sounds just like a rain stick. If you don’t know what a rain stick is, Google it. I’ll wait here. Cool right?!?! The sound that a rain stick makes is so relaxing to me.  I find it very calming. The sound isn’t…
