A New Year has snuck up on us once again! To help keep you motivated and inspired for 2012, we’ve come up with a short list of resolutions paired with our delicious teas.
Kill the Pounds
Along with eating healthy and exercising regularly, a cup of our Yerba Maté tea will help increase your metabolism and boost your energy, thereby burning fat in the process! Also, unlike other stimulates, Yerba Maté can actually help increase the supply of oxygen to the heart. If you’ve never tried Maté before or you want a few to select from, try our one ounce teasers: Maté Teasers.
Bring More Energy to Work
If you’re tired all the time, a change in what you eat or do all day may be all you need to turn things around. Avoid energy drinks to give you a kick in the morning. Energy drinks may give you a hyperactivity boost, but they almost always result in a crash. Instead try our Inspiration tea to help motivate you when things become sluggish. And when you’re treating yourself with a cup of tea, you might as well treat yourself to a small break at work! Studies show playing a game like scrabble keeps your mind active without the debilitating stress. But of course, set a time limit, we’re not here to get you in trouble!
Become Active
We all know that fitness is good for us. It just isn’t always fun. Remember when we use to have fun as kids? Burning calories wasn’t on our minds while running through the sprinkler or climbing a tree. You can get that feeling back with the help of Eight Treasures, our Oolong tea, that helps with blood flow and also gives you more energy. The name itself sounds like an adventure! Here are 8 ideas we’ve come up with to help keep you active:
1. Take a walk in the park
2. Join a recreational sports team
3. Take a yoga class
4. Play with your kids
5. Take a salsa dancing class
6. Bring on a new recipe in the kitchen
7. Bike often
8. Turn up the music and dance
Worry Less
Living a stress-free life seems impossible. Stress is usually a response to challenges in life and we certainly need those to make life interesting! However, most of the stress in our lives are unnecessary, and with the help of our hand rolled Phoenix Jasmine Pearl tea, some stress can be eliminated. And if you’re around the neighborhood, drop by our restaurant and we’ll be sure to help and keep you relaxed.
Find a New Hobby
By finding a new hobby, you reignite your motivation to learn something new. We’re all about creative ideas and we love hearing what people do as a hobby whether it be gardening, jewelry making, boxing or screen writing. To get your creative juices flowing, try adding some spunk to your cup with our Funky Monkey tea, one of our more playful combinations.
Sleep More
We’ve all heard that we need at least 8 hours of sleep each night to function at our best, but that’s not always easy! If you’re have trouble getting and staying in bed, try sipping on some Chamomile Lavender tea to help you sleep soundly.
Cheers to a New Year, keeping resolutions (or at least trying), and a new cup of tea!
