Let’s talk teas.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I am a SOUTHERNER and I used to make my sweet tea with Liptons and a cup of white sugar.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀YUPPPPP. I did that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Now that I’ve learned how truly horrible that is, I don’t drink it and when it’s offered, it honestly tastes like dirty dishwater to me. Here are the top three reasons I suggest NOT drinking sweet tea anymore for:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s SUPER interesting to me that teas can be healthy for you and actually do your body more good than bad.

    What does drinking from a copper vessel do for your health?

    Did you know that drinking from a copper vessel has health benefits? I didn’t until I saw it on my friend, Laura’s instagram stories (follow her instagram account here -> @livingearthyoga ) I’ve seen people wearing copper for its health benefits but never drinking water from copper vessels. Come to find out, there are SO MANY health benefits! I ordered my own copper vessel and these cute little cups that match, a few months ago and I’ve drank water from it every day since.

    Why Do I Not “Buy” As Much Clothing As I Used Too

I loved it so much that I decided to continue to rent new pieces instead of splurging on…

    What I Eat In Day – Ideas For Healthy + Fresh Options

    This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I’ll be honest I’ve been really intimidated to sit down and really write out a play-by-play of the foods that I eat. It’s one of the most frequent questions that I asked and every time I sit down at the computer end up freezing up and not writing the whole thing.  At this point in my life, I have decided to eliminate all fast foods, most processed foods, and focus on eating organic and fresh high-quality foods. My tastes do change often but I found I always…
