I just completed a trade with etsy seller MonAmiga. I sent her off a few "personal item" zip pouches in her favorite colors and recived two 4 ounce bags of chai and a container of this great Green Goddess All-Over Balm. (The listing sold as I was typing this, but I am sure she will relist it in a few minutes)

I am enjoying a cup of this superior roots chai right now. It's a wonderful balance of flavors. I didn't have a tea ball handy , so in a burst of recycling genius I remembered I had one of those small silk mesh bags people send jewelry in. It makes a wonderful reuseable tea bag. Just spoon in 1-2 heaping spoons and add boiling water and steep.

From her listing:
This delicious blend of roots and spices is a perfect mix of taste and function. Full of flavor, this tisane has detoxifying, adaptogenic and gentle stimulating herbs and roots as well as traditional chai ingredients. It's spicy and naturally sweet! Caffeine free.
The tea is nearly organic, with only the Sarsaparilla being conventional

Ingredients in no particular order: Star anise, Burdock root, Carob, Chicory root, Astragalus root, Cinnamon, Cloves, Cardamom, Dandelion root, Ginger, Orange Peel, Black peppercorn, Red root, Angelica, Birch bark, Wild Cherry bark, Liorice root, Pau D’arco, Fo-ti root, Eleuthero, Ashwaganda, Indian Sarsaparilla, Sassafrass, Shatavari, Stevia, Nutmeg, Honeybush


The green balm is rich and wonderful on your skin, but not at all greasy. Just the thing for winter dry skin.

From her listing:

This balm is not quite salve, not quite cream, but all goodness. Made green by the avocado oil, and lady's mantle infusion (lady's mantle is said to speed the healing of skin), this butter has got you covered.

Whether you want to use it as a traditional hydrant, cuticle cream, gardening-hands softner, massage lotion, foot balm, hair pomade, or winter rash preventer.... it doesn't matter.... it will work for you.

In addition to being an excellent emolliant, it also smells wonderful, with a complex array of floral waters and essential oils - the dominant fragrance being cinnamon and lavender.

Containing essential oils of Lavender, Cinnamon, Vetiver, Orange, Palmarosa, Sandalwood, Rose attar, Cedarwood, Marjoram, Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, and Patchouli. Also contains Rose Geranium Floral Water

The formula goes on thick and soaks in quick! This is an all natural product with no fragrance oils or synthetic parabens or polymers.


Aside from the lovly things I got, she also has great prints, gorgeous natural stone jewelry and other natural, herbal products. Wander on over and say HI!
