Sacred Rose sent me a selection of their
hand-blended, organic herbal teas for review, and they're offering to give away a box of their
exquisite Morning Blossom herbal tea to
FOUR winners!
These teas are
gorgeous. Just look at them all boxed up in chocolate brown with satiny pink bows.
Inside, the mixes are clearly
top-notch, loose-leaf herbal teas, with identifiable and appetizing dried plants and leaves and a delicious natural fragrance.
- Morning Blossom:
"an invigorating blend of peppermint, spearmint, rose, ginger and alfalfa that encourages motivation and joyful experiences. On the physical level Morning Blossom assists the respiratory system and metaphysically it opens the Heart Chakra to a reciprocal balance of giving and receiving self, romantic and planetary love."
This is the kind you could win, and I'm so excited about that! I wasn't joking when I called it exquisite. I really love this tea! This has two types of mint plus ginger, and even though I'm not usually a fan of either, I think it's absolutely delicious. It even has miniature rosebuds in it, which makes it adorably pretty and would make it a good gift tea. (Think ahead to Mother's Day, weddings, and baby showers, for instance!) I like a lot of teas, but I had three all-time favorites — and now I have four.

Open box of loose-leaf tea, sealed for freshness

GREEN YOUR PERIOD special event: We are featuring a series of reusable menstrual products for review and giveaway. Go green, no matter what time of the month!
GladRags is offering my readers a giveaway of
a sampler 3-pack of cloth menstrual pads: pantyliner, day pad, and overnight pad! GladRags are made of soft, absorbent cotton and are a reusable, eco-friendly solution to your period.
GladRags sent me the same sampler 3-pack for review. I had been using
The DivaCup but disposable pads and pantyliners as backup, and I was eager to try out cloth alternatives.
Switching to cloth
I'm honestly not sure what took me so long. I cloth diapered my son and preferred cloth training pants for him as well — the times we used disposables on trips or in preschool, I had always been struck by how much less comfortable they were, and how they made him more prone to irritation since they were less breathable. But it took me awhile to make the leap to the idea that cloth for
myself might be more comfortable, too!

A big congratulations to the winner of
The DivaCup menstrual cup giveaway — #257!
Tandy and Jeff say:
"I want a DivaCup cuz it would be sooo nice to not have to buy tampons all the time! I already use cloth pads, but much prefer not having to feel it. That and I worry about the safety of tampons and their long-term effects. Much less waste! Better for everybody!"

This was a
joint giveaway with Natural Parents Network, so entries were combined and one winner drawn. Tandy and Jeff entered at
Hobo Mama Reviews.
The DivaCup is an innovative, eco-friendly solution to your period. Made from 100% silicone and worn internally, it's a convenient, comfortable and reliable alternative to tampons and pads.

From Charlie, our reviewer:
I wish I could capture, in photos, the tight feeling of dry skin. Or even just capture the itchiness. And then I would capture the relief from both. This review would be over if I could do that.
…
[W]ithin a week, I felt less tightness and less itching. For those who know the uncomfortable tightness and the irritating itching, I don’t need any more words than that.
