One of the Favors, tips to get the most out of your tea.

A few tips on getting the most out of your Tea…
~ Use this brew to soothe minor cuts and scrapes, treat sunburns, refresh puffy and fatigued eyes, and soak tired feet: Brew 1/2 cup of unscented black or green tea leaves in 1 quart of boiling bottled water for at least 10 minutes. Strain the leaves and set aside. Cool the liquid and refrigerate. This solution will keep in the refrigerator for approximately 10 days.
For Minor Cuts & Scrapes:Apply the cold tea brew with a pure cotton pad onto minor cuts or abrasion. Leave the cotton pad on the affected area for at least 5 minutes. Repeat, and do not wash off. This procedure can be repeated up to four times a day.
Sunburns:Apply a piece of cotton cloth that's been soaked in the cold tea brew to the sunburned area. Leave on for about 15 minutes, or until the burned areas begins to cool. You can repeat this treatment up to four times a day.
For Puffy & Fatigued Eyes:Soak cotton pads in the cold tea brew and lay them on your eyes. Keep the pads on your lids for about 10 minutes. You can also refrigerate your used tea bags and lay them on your eyes.
For Tired Feet:Soak your feet in the cold tea brew for about 15 minutes. This is a great way to treat your feet after a long day of standing, walking, or running. You can also try soaking your feet in a concentrated Peppermint Herbal tea brew for an aromatic soak.
~ Facial Beauty: Mix one teaspoon of fine cornmeal with cooled chamomile tea to form a gentle scrub. Let dry, then gently rub off. Not for sensitive skin.
Make an exfoliating paste using chamomile tea and powdered milk. Rub on skin, let dry, and then rub off before washing.
~ Hair Treatment: In a small saucepan, warm (do not boil) 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons fresh ground lavender, and the dry contents of 2 peppermint tea bags. Massage into scalp over damp hair. Cover hair with shower cap to keep heat in. Sit in the sun, if possible, for 20-25 minutes. Shampoo and rinse hair. Repeat this treatment once a month to nourish and
strengthen hair.
~ Other Uses:
Use Black Tea as a hair rinse to darken hair or to add shine.
Use Chamomile herbal tea to bring out highlights in hair.
Get a temporary tea tan by soaking in unflavored black tea leaves for about 20 minutes.
Rinse your face with tea. Tea acts as an astringent, so it works well on pimples. Do not wash off.
Sunburns:Apply a piece of cotton cloth that's been soaked in the cold tea brew to the sunburned area. Leave on for about 15 minutes, or until the burned areas begins to cool. You can repeat this treatment up to four times a day.

One of the games. The apron is still lacking a few things. It'll be a ton of fun when it is complete!
All the stuff has been blacked out so there aren't any temptations to cheat!
Some of napkins we'll be using...compliments of Aubrey's grandmother & John's grandmother & Liza (has some that she is working on...she's putting special touches on them). They'll be added to these!
So Fancy!

Piper's Birthday Loot Bags!!!
I have started working on Piper's birthday party this week. Her party is Saturday!!!! I think I seem to always procrastinate...I think I love the pressures of party planning! I know I am certainly addicted to party planning! That's no secret.
Anyways, Juliet's...Piper's theme is more of a garden or springtime party. And here are the loot bags that I have made up. I thought about doing pails instead of loot bags a while ago and then Meagan came over and said, "Hey, you could do pails with stuff in them." That there just confirmed that it'd be a good idea. So that's what I did.
I filled it with a Home Depot apron. Thank You to the Home Depot Kid's Workshop!!! And wildflower seeds, from the Deep Ellum Arts Fest. And candy, sidewalk chalk, those loud party horns, bubbles, bugs (it is a garden spring time party), and of course a pencil. And the pails came with their very own shovel which was perfect since the kids will be planting their flowers. They'll need their shovels for the dirt!
