A Few Things I'm Into Right Now

Nice things from May

Dandy Blend
This is so tasty! I like to have it in the afternoon when I'm craving something creamy but don't want caffeine. I can't really drink coffee anymore (the acidity) and I don't think this is really a replacement taste-wise, but it tastes delicious and scratches the same itch. Plus dandelion is supposed to be good for your liver and digestion and it's a pretty good source of iron and other vitamins and minerals. Those are only nice extras though, not the main reason I drink it.

Rosewater
Specifically this rosewater, which I avoided for a long time because I got it into my head that it only used rose oil & wasn't a hydrosol and therefor not as good. I actually checked it out recently and it does use rose oil, but it also has rose hydrosol and it's way less expensive and easier to find than any other rosewater! It smells nice, I love spraying it on my face after I wash it.

Pinon Incense
The smell of this is like a warm comforting campfire. I got this box at my new favorite store in town Palace.

    I would really like to try all of these things. Do you put milk in this dandy tea? It looks so good (also A++ packaging!)

      Yes I like to drink it with milk! It's also nice without, and actually they say that you can make it less strong so it's more like a tea. So versatile!

    I will have to try that Dandy! I can't take coffee either. I have roasted dandelion tea but would be interested in trying out a new one.

    Recently I was looking for a less expensive rose water to spray on my face and I found one in this Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShantiAromatherapy. At first I wasn't sure about it because it smelled different from what I had been using but I really like it now.

    When you go to Palace do you get the 'Heart' hot chocolate at Heart next door? It's spendy but so good as is or vegan. :)

      I haven't tried straight dandelion tea, does it taste good? I think most of the taste of Dandy comes from the barley, which taste nice to me.

      Thanks for the rose water tip:)

      I haven't gone to Heart, I will have to try that next time I go to Palace!

    I've been relishing chicory coffee lately (the acidity is much less!) and it hits the coffee spot :)

      Dandy blend has chicory in it! I think it's just a blend of all the things people have historically used as coffee substitutes:)
