What do you do to feel beautiful?
Sounds wonderful! I’ve been experimenting with lots of different teas lately. Lemon Balm is a great one! To feel beautiful, I do a coconut oil massage and then shower and straighten my hair so that it’s flowey! Then I put on mascara and batt my eyelashes! lol I’m such a girly girl! Sending so much love to you!
Yes, Jenna, I share your appreciation for lemon balm, and love your playful approach to beauty! Ha. Today I will bat my eyes in honor of you: You, already a great beauty in all ways. Thank you for being in our lives.
I went to the store earlier today and bought all the herbs and just made this and it is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Thank you, Alex, for letting us know. Now all we need is a tea circle so we can all enjoy it together!
