She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple

It’s a well known fact to many that I am a woman who loves scarves. So much so that one of my early blog posts and giveaways was for a custom made infinity scarf.

I’m back again with another product review. This time I was selected to review a very elegant scarf from Novica. This one is called Tamarind Leaves.

It is 100% silk and came beautifully wrapped! This made for a very nice addition to my scarf collection, but it would also be a great item to order and have delivered to someone for a special occasion or “just because” gift.

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, works together with talented artisan designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake treasures. The scarf is fair trade certified and comes with an official NOVICA Story Card validating its quality & authenticity.

I am grateful for the opportunity to review these scarves, but I always remember that my outward appearance can NEVER be more beautiful than what’s on the inside!

1 Peter 3:3-4 New Living Translation (NLT)

3 Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

I received this product at a discounted price with the understanding that I would post my unbiased opinion and product review to this website.

Drinking tea is one of my favorite things to do. I adopted the habit while studying abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. We resided in a Bed and Breakfast for part of the semester and the host placed Rooibos and Chai teas out every morning and evening for us to enjoy.

When I returned to the U.S, I attempted continue drinking tea, but this proved rather difficult to do seeing as I was still a student in undergrad and quality teas are NOT cheap! Eventually I had to put my expensive tastes on hold. Now that I am an adult, I can afford to enjoy some of the finer things in life every once and awhile– especially when I receive them as product reviews!

This 100% Pure Organic Darjeeling Tea is infused with rare Indian spices and embodies a delectable and aromatic blend that is sure to please even the most discerning taste buds. The tea is high in antioxidants and includes cloves, cinnamon and cardamoms. Cardamoms have been traditionally used to maintain dental health and help relieve stress. Cardamoms also detoxify the body by flushing out toxins. Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants with various health properties. Cloves help fight Dental problems apart from improving digestion.

Other Health Benefits (As described by the manufacturer):

Helps reduce stress
Helps promote relaxation and calmness
Helps support dental and skin health
Tastes delicious with an amazing aroma
Powerful antioxidants and pristine quality

I have used this with my Keurig machine in one of my reusable K-cups. While you can probably get more than one brew out of this tea, I prefer to only use this for one cycle and then I dump the used loose leaf tea into my cup before drinking the tea. I sweeten my tea with honey (sometimes using honey with cayenne pepper and ginger as this adds a bit of extra spice, which I very much like).

I am very happy to have reviewed the product and would recommend it to anyone looking to experience the benefits described above (I can’t comment on all on all of the benefits, but everyone comments on how clear my skin is and the smell of the tea REALLY is amazing). This item is Fix-it with Fran approved!
