Happy New Year, baby!

New Year means New Year resolutions. Of course, we hope that “drink more tea” is on your list. Chock-full of antioxidants, tea is wonderful way to incorporate more healthful foods – and habits – into your busy lifestyle.

And, really -- how many resolutions are as pleasant as curling up on a frosty day with a hot mug of guilt-free deliciousness? Who knew that healthy could be so pleasurable!

Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy new year, baby!

Happy holidays, baby!

During this holiday season, we want to thank all of you -- readers, customers and friends -- for your support this year.

We wish you a warm and wonderful holiday and Happy New Year! Happy Sipping in 2010!

Himalayan Baby

Wow -- lots of customer questions about Himalayan Bath Salts. Well, sit back, baby, and I'll tell you the tale . . .

Imagine a time long before humanity, when the ancient seas surrounded the mighty Himalayas. Imagine a pristine and perfect world.

From this time and place comes the purest salt in the world: Himalayan sea salt. These salts contain 84 essential trace minerals and elements, including potassium, calcium, bromide and magnesium, that can be absorbed into the skin. The pink salts contain the highest mineral content.

Now fast forward to the first human cultures, who discovered and mined this salt, and began to use it for therapeutic baths. Over time, it was learned that a Himalayan sea salt bath could restore healthy mineral balance to the body, improve blood flow, soften and moisturize the skin, and much more.

And now fast forward to the end of your own busy day. Imagine yourself placing into a bath tea ball some beautiful pink Himalayan sea salt and anti-inflammatory green tea, naturally fragrant with lavender and rose buds. Imagine steeping your own bath tea and then stepping into some well-deserved luxury while your body rehydrates and rejuvenates.

You deserve it, baby!

Try Chai, Baby! Himalayan Bath Salts in three luxurious combinations: Lavender & Rose, Springtime in Paris and Water Baby. On sale through 12/31/09.

Multi-purpose your tea!

Every day, we hear more about the healing properties of green tea. Usually, we think of those benefits in connection with drinking this wonderful beverage. However, there is also a tremendous benefit to be gained from applying steeped green tea to the skin.

Green tea naturally possesses anti-inflammatory, firming and repairing properties for skin. Tonight, step into a luxurious green tea bath – you know you deserve it!

You're getting warm, baby!

Baby, it's cold outside! I'm looking out my window at the brilliant fall sunshine, the wild scatter of leaves and the blue, blue sky. And I'm holding -- you guessed it -- a mug of hot tea. The naturally sweet spices are rolling around on my tongue, and in this perfect moment, I am absolutely, blissfully filled with warmth, hope and happiness.

What does your tea do for you, baby?
