Tava Tea organic wellness blend

Tava Tea Wellness Blend is in theory, tea just like any other kind but that is where any kind of comparison ends.


Oolong, Puerh and Sencha are essential types of tea much like Earl Grey and Darjeeling. However, Tava Tea is a much unparalleled blend of these three teas has always been recognised but this special blend of Tea contains a large number of nutrients. Oolong (otherwise known as Wu Long) Sencha and Puerh teas have been put to use in China for over five hundred years. .Sencha has very high levels of Catechin, a type of Polyphenol and a powerful antioxidant. Though there are various kinds of different Polyphenols, Catechins are the strongest. The most powerful catechin, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is plentiful in green tea. But each variety will vary in its power, quality and effectiveness.

It is very unusual to come across a herbal product that comes with a guarantee of being 100% organic. This means that no fertilizers or any unnatural man made method has been used in the cultivating of these herbs or in the manufaction of Tava Tea.
It is organically grown and produced using only the finest whole Wuyi Cliff Oolong and Puerh tealeaves of the best possible standard. It is largely effective for weight loss as well as general healing of the body. It is clinically proven to help reduce the amount of body fat and balance cholesterol levels.

Many benefits of this tea include: easier digestion, reduction of bloating and it will burn up to twice as many calories as ordinary Green tea.
It reduces the effects of the carbohydrates you eat if you drink Tava Tea just 15 minutes before consuming carbohydrates.

It achieves this by reducing the level of insulin that is produced when weight is gained. Tava Tea also contains a great amount of powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants destroy free radicals, which can damage the body at the cellular level and make it far more susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and other degenerative diseases.
It has been shown to calm your mind and body as it contains the amino acid L-theanine that is in charge of boosting alpha brain wave activity which increases the production of the calming neutrotransmitting chemicals Dopamine and Serotonin in the brain.

And amazingly, a 50% reduction in free radicals was found in individuals who participated drank Wuyi Cliff Oolong tea for just 15 days which helps to slow down the process of ageing. People who consume 2 or more cups of Wu Long Tea a daily are proven to be at a 26% lower risk of suffering with heart disease.

Having tried this product myself for over a month now, I have noticed that my "short fuse" which happens when all the kids are at home from school for summer vacation ... just doesn't appear as short (grin).  Also I am rarely bloated during those special times which us women have to endure, as I continue using this product I will let you all know of any other benefits (I can't really vouch for the weightloss side of things, as I am not overweight).
it does come with a full guarantee - so why not check it out here. 

Save Energy and Money in the Laundry Room

Your laundry room can really give the environment and your wallet a true beating. Here are some handy dandy tips to help you save a bundle in this area - not only reducing your impact on the environment but also cutting down your energy and your water bills. 

Try a few (or all of them out).

Washing:

• Wash full loads only, but don't "overload".  It takes about as much energy to wash a small load as it does to wash a full load.  Full loads also save water.
• Wash and rinse in cold water whenever possible.  Remember that energy is usd to "heat" the water as well as to run the washer.
• Follow detergent directions for your particular washer nd avoid oversudsing.  Oversudsing makes your washer work hader, so always easure detergent carefully instead of estimating the amount to use. 

• If you really want to go green might I suggest that you look into the benefits of using SOAPNUTS (are not nuts), but berries - they are a natural solution (which have been used for thousands of years).  You simply place 6-8 of these soap berries into a muslin bag and add the bag to your laundry load. Hypoallergenic, safe for everyone - can be used on even the dirtiest of loads.

Drying:-

• Obviously the BEST way to dry your clothes to save energy and lower your carbon footprint is to HANG dry clothes outside (sunshine is also a great way to brighten clothes and remove germs).
• However if you are using the dryer, dry similar thickness clothes together.  This avoids having to run additional cycles for slower drying items.
• Don't overdry your items - aside from wasting energy, overdrying can cause unecessary shrinkage and wrinkling.
• Dry consecutive loads - the energy usedto bring the dryer up to operating temperature shouldn't be allowed to go to waste.
• Remove items from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.  If clothes become wrinkled from lying in the dryer, extra energy must be used to iron or re-dry them.
• Clean the lint filter after each load to maintain full airflow and mazimize drying efficiency.  A clogged filter slows drying and wastes energy.

Chiggers & Mozzies (Mosquitos) get you down - We have a Guide for you..

If you are like I am then the answer is a RESOUNDING YES...

Before I moved to Ohio from Australia it was only Mosquitos which affected me & even whenthey did, they were only mildly annoying.  There were no "chiggers".  Actually I had never even heard of them until moving here and marrying Steven.  The last 2 Summers have been miserable for me.  Where hot days in Australia used to mean shorts, sandals & tank tops - here in humid Ohio, I have been reduced to my summers being spent in long pants, socks & shoes along with spraying copious amounts of poisonous repellent all over my body.

But, it still didn't stop them, and once these nasty little vampires had gotten hold of me the itching became UNBEARABLE and lasted for weeks.  The scars on my ankles, legs and wrists from scratching these chigger bites were so bad that many a time they led to secondary infections and the CONSTANT taking of allergy tablets to help ease the urge to scratch my skin off right down to the bone.

The ugly bites and scars also meant that I could not wear a skirt, dress or even Capri pants on searing hot Summer days without feeling self-concious.

Believe it or not, I even subjected myself to the excruciating pain of pouring straight alcohol into the bleeding sores to try and stop the incessant desire to itch - ummmm just so you know THAT didn't work, and only reduced me to a blubbering, crying mess.

Well, after the past two unbearable summers, and a TON of research, I totally pysched myself up this past Memorial Day weekend and was prepared to be BITTEN to death, (as Memorial Day seems to be when it always starts), although these evil critters don't really affect anyone else in my home.... I must just have "tasty blood".

Over the past couple of months, (in order to tackle my new fear of Summer) and based on my extensive research, I prepped our yard environment (we live on over an acre of woods and grassy land on a lake - YES PRIME mozzie & chigger breeding conditions)....

Let me tell you that I spent the entire Memorial Day weekend outsie, (this includes after it rained which brought the humid warm air & damp ground, another Mozzie & Chigger loving scenario) .... and you know what - my efforts have paid off! Did I get a bite? (well one, but that occurred when I was off our newly secured premses).  In comparison to the past, I am literally JUMPING up and down with joy, instead of madly scratching like a monkey with fleas.

So, if you have to take deep breaths before going outside, if you fear summer and (strangely) would prefer the icy, sowy months of winter - there are SOME SAFE and easy solutions which you can implement to rid yourself of these annoying critters.

Please note: that because we live on a lake property (where kids swim etc) we also have to watch what we use in our yard as the run off goes into the lake.  The solutions which we are going to share with you, are safe for you, your kiddos, your pets and also the environment.

What we discovered is that you have to perform a couple of different steps - some for your direct living/yard environment and a couple for you personally (it's a layered approach).

Fresh smelling Toilet Cleaner - DIY Recipe

The chemicals in toilet cleaners are among the worse -not only for you, but also for the environment.  Simple solutions apart from finding some non-toxic cleaners are to make your own. 


Vinegar is one staple item you should have in your home at all times - it is a POWERFUL cleaner, and also when sprayed on your kitchen benches helps detract those "pesty" ants (as they hate it). 

Here is a nice home made toilet cleaner that will leave your bathroom smelling fresh as a "daisy" or at least a lemon.

• 2 Tablespoons baking soda
• 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 Lemon

Mix the baking soda and vinegar together and scrub the toilet clean- Flush.  Then squeeze the juice from the lemon, add some directly to the bowl, and the remainder into the cistern at the top.
*Tip - to help remove the build up in your toilets - place 1/2 cup of vinegar into the bowl at night.  The vinegar will break down all of the bacteria.  This is also a great tip if you are going to be going away for a few days - leave some vinegar in each of your toilets while you are gone

Fruity-cinnamon Air Freshener - DIY Recipe of the day

Many commercial air fresheners contain a pollutant called formaldehyde - do you really want to be spraying that stuff around? Either you can start researching and looking for safer alternatives - or why not use what you most likely have in your home already.
What you need:-

• 1 pot of water
• 2 Cinnamon sticks
• 1/2 lemon or orange - sliced

Fill the pot 3/4 of the way with water and add the cinnamon sticks and fruit.  Simmer for one to two hours.  You can substitue cinnamon with allspice or cloves for variation.  Your home will smell delicious while this is simmering.  When finished, allow the solution to cool - strain it and place in a spray bottle to use.

Saving Tip of the Day

Let your dishes air dry.  A dishwasher uses more energy to dry dishes than to wash them.  If your dishwasher doesn't have an automatic air-dry switch, turn off the control knob after the final rinse and prop the door open to let moisture escape.

Use your dishwasher only for full loads.  Be sure it is full, but not overloaded when you turn it on.  Improper loading can result in poorly cleaned dishes which then need to be rewashed.

If you are in the market for a new dishwasher, look for energy saving features.
