PUKKA


~  PUKKA  TEA  ~


This time of the year brings many things. Cold weather, fog, wolly socks, snuggly blankets, hot
soup and hot tea. Thank goodness for hot tea's to make me not only feel nice and warm on the inside,
but to also make me feel good from the inside! This time of the year also seems to bring sickness
and the sniffles to our whole household! Blah!

These Revitalise and Three Ginger Pukka teas have been a welcome addition to my daily routine 
because they smell amazing, make me feel energized and feeling more like my old self again.

Revitalise -
 This flavour is my absolute favoutite of these two because it smells incredibly comforting even before I have added water and stirred. The blend of organic cinnamon, cardamom 
and ginger give it a yummy, delicious scent and flavour with a hint of organge peel, elderflower, 
licorice root, sencha green tea, spearment leaf, clove bud and black peppercorn.

Brings the bounce back into your step when you are feeling low on energy and motivation
even though Pukka teas are caffine free! Pretty amazing and makes me feel great about drinking
it completely guilt free! :)

Three Ginger -
I have never been too fond of ginger until I experienced the unbearable 
discomforting feeling of morning sickness. It took about a millisecond for me to decide I'd rather eat ginger by  the whole root then bear another minute of feeling like all of my insides are about to come shooting out of my mouth without hesitation. No matter how horrid the taste! 
(Ginger works miracles if your stomach feels uneasy.) 

Over the years ginger and I have become quite friendly as I have come to really appreciate it.
This tea's scent is milder than the Revitalise but stick packs a punch when it comes to it's flavour.

With a blend of organic ginger, galangal and golden turmeric this tea is beautifully strong and
whilst I have been all snuffly and feeling rotten, this tea makes my head feel less heavy and my body
not as weak. When you can't stomach anything else, this should help. Also contains licorice root.

Natures Organics



Vanilla Ylang Ylang Body Wash
With Organic Sunflower & Brazil Nut Butter
If you have been reading my blog, then you probably know how much
I've been loving Vanilla scents lately. I have never much a fan of it, even
when it seemed to be all the rage and it was the scent everybody had their
body sprays and even everybody seemed to only drink vanilla coke when I was growing up.

Now, however it just smells so good to me and I can't get enough!
This body wash smells very much vanilla, with the Brazil Nut Butter 
giving it an almost caramel tint. This is almost sickly sweet, so if
you're not big on scents that smell like lollies, steer clear of this one. The hubby
has already told me he doesn't like it, so I don't feel like many men would rush out to
buy this one. I however am loving it! 

I'm not sure if I can smell the Sunflower
Or the Ylang Ylang, and I'm pretty confident I cannot even pronounce it correctly! 
But, whatevs, this 725ml bottle is going to keep me going for months on end,
so don't expect to see this in an empties post anytime soon! ;)
Such an amazing bargain for such a large quantity without substituting on quality. 

I love that this company makes Australian made and owned products 
and that they're environmentally friendly and recyclable.
 I always try to recycle as much as possible, so this gets a big thumbs up for that! 

I will be keeping my eye out for this brand from now on as 
I am completely converted and can't wait to try more from this company.

Antibacterial Lemongrass Ginger Hand Wash
With Organic Olive Oil & Lime
I was skeptical with this hand wash at first, just because I usually really hate
lemongrass and ginger scents. The olive oil and lime must tone it down a bit
because I actually didn't find it overpowering or strong smelling at all.
It smelt more like a menthol lolly more than anything. Not the butter ones,
but just those mentholy ones. 

An antibacterial soap is a must in our house as we 
have two young kids who get into everything and this helps to give me peace
of mind that they're at least staying somewhat clean if their hands are regularly 
washed with this throughout the day.

The formula foams up nicely and doesn't leave my skin dry at all. 
My hands look and feel fresh and clean and smelling crisp and slightly citrus. 

The pump style bottle makes the product disburse with ease
 and just the right amount of product comes out easily each time. 
Only one pump is needed per wash I found. 

My whole family have been using it and really like it,
 we even had visitors recently who also used it. :)

Will buy in the future and will look out for other scents as well.
