nova scotia Hello! These ingredients are then carefully dehydrated by hand, in small, unique batches.

My name is Lacey Bain and I am the proud owner and all-round, enthusiastic promoter of my own delicious artisanal teas;

Teageek'ery Handcrafted Tea Blends. Our teas combine your favourite Annapolis Valley fruits with delicious organic tea, herbs and spices. We grow most of the fruit & herbs ourselves, on our farm, Lacelyn Farm, which is spray free & naturally grown. If we cannot grow enough myself, I source local farmers for freshly picked products. The tea, herbs and spices are certified organic. I believe knowing what goes into your body is important, so there are no artificial sugars, colours, flavours, preservatives, or other additives in our teas; just raw, fresh, natural ingredients. Each batch is unique and the freshest it can be when delivered to you. Become a Teageek today and enjoy a soothing sip of one of my blends. It is good for you, tastes great and helps support our buy local economy. Experience local freshness and healthful choices with each sip.

Day 7

Our last day of the reset! Wow! This habit is extremely important for our body to utilize all of the nutrients you have been consuming all week.

Sleeping well is essential for our bodies to rest, relax & rejuvenate meaning our bodies can only do one thing at a time. Eliminating screen time, snacking, caffeine & light containment before bed, allows you to function at an optimal level during the day. Your body works so hard to support brain function & physical health, but can only do that when all aspects are being taken care of. Our wellbeing accounts for eating well, taking time for yourself, exercising, having a positive attitude & sleeping well helps build a healthy, happy lifestyle while alleviating our chances of dis-easements.

When we don't get proper sleep we see acute symptoms like mood swings, negative self-worth lower self-esteem, & ADD/ADHD like symptoms. We see increasing anxiety, depression, & cognitive dysfunction. Long term lack of sleep is also linked to chronic dis-easements such as fatigue, heart conditions, respiratory issues, kidney dysfunction, disruptions in hormone production, mismanaged blood pressure, lower physical performance, diabetes, obesity, reduced s*x drive, weakened immune system & weight management issues.

Building sleep hygiene is critical for our circadian rhythm.

- Keep a consistent schedule, get to bed around the same time & up around the same time each day
- Create a relaxing routine, ditch the phone, instead read, journal, have a bath, meditate or deep breathe.
- Turn off electronics
- Eliminating caffeine 3-7 hours before bed, depending on your body
- Create a cool, dark comfortable sleeping environment
- Use your bed for sleeping & s*x only, helping out brain associat bed with sleep
- Limit napping during the day
- Enjoy something warm, like tea, lemon water, steamed mylk

Do you have any routines that work for you??
