There are some wonderful homemade gift ideas
Really like this lotion. Love that it has all natural ingredients, doesn’t irritate my skin and soaks in quickly with no oily residue. The scent is also very light which is good for me because I am sensitive to a lot of fragrance smells.
Loved the three teas I got in the sampler, Licorice Spice, Mushroom not Coffee, and Pumpkin Spice. There were so many choices it was hard to narrow it down to three. I have yet to buy a tea from here that I didn’t like. Love the packaging and the personal note included.
Expensive as well for only 4 issues. I was under the impression from the description that it was recipes I could make for delicious tea blends but it's not. 90% of all the recipes are make for using the Farmhouse Tea blends which I don't buy being those are expensive as well. Cancelling once we are at the end of the year's subscription.
This is my second year with this magazine and the content never fails to deliver. I particularly love to the tea recipes as I try to grow as many of my own ingredients as I can and blend my own teas. The growing guides are inspirational and the magazine itself is visually pleasing.
I’m so thankful for this First Signs Tincture Mix! It’s so easy to make and loaded with all the goodness to help my immune system counterattack whatever virus that sneaks in. I always keep one batch made up and ready to use and have another mix in the pantry, just in case.
The tea by itself is wonderful but pair it with some pumpkin puree, maple syrup and steamed milk and it is to die for. I used the recipe card sent with the tea for ideas. This has become my go to afternoon treat when work is completed for the day.
A wonderful magazine. So beautiful. So much information. I love the highlighted herb for each issue. I save every one.
Lemon and ginger easy combination tangy flavor add sweet honey.
