They sent me a plethora of teas and goodies, a mug and this book:
I’m especially excited about this because I try to use natural remedies whenever possible and avoid taking medication when I’m sick. I’d much rather feast on fresh organic produce, drink lots of tea and juice.

I have been starting to feel sick and feeling a bit run down lately. It could be work and teaching a load of classes. Whatever it is I don’t want it turning into a full blown cold. Celestial Seasonings teas always make me feel loads better.
This is the perfect solution to my under the weather day. I woke up this morning with an earache and my neck glands hurting. This has been going on for awhile (on and off) but the doctor says it just has to run its course! Needless to say, I’m at home today drinking lots of tea!
oh gracious – symptoms? I’m a mom of two very lively toddler boys, my husband works tons of overtime so I do a lot of single parenting these days, i’m coming off a gluten reaction and my sister has the flu, who I was with yesterday before her fever hit. So yeah….teas would make my WEEK!!!! ;D
Oh this would be awesome! I am battling a cold of sniffles, runny nose, etc. and I’m also working on relaxing and getting to bed earlier and energizing myself in the mornings because I’m an accountant and this time of year is just awful when you’re sick and over-tired. I would LOVE this package to help get me back to normal (and a little better than normal, too!)
My symptoms are always feeling tired or being over stressed. Also, my nose is stuffed up!
I love tea! I want some.
my symptoms: crampy stomach that feels bloaty and uncomforable 🙁
stuffy head, stuffy nose, swollen glands in throat… blaaah and I rarely get sick 🙁
I live in northern mississippi area and I am constantly battling the allergens,sniffles, sore throat and the resulting decreased energy. I am currently trying to attend at least 4 excercise classes at my gym . I know that this package would definitely make me feel better. The Sleepy Tea has always worked well with me and my kids. My body,mind and soul would truly be enhanced by this package! I love this blog and always look at it for daily inspiration- thanks
“I am feeling healthy and want to stay that way”….nice giveaway..thank you!
Enjoy!
My symptoms are : cough with chest congestion, pretty fatigied and upset stomach all weekend… blah!! plus its snowing here AGAIN! wuld love some warm tea to help break up the chest songestion and keep me warm!! 🙂
Sleepy time extra and ginseng energy sound right up my alley.
My symptoms are runny nose, stuffed nose, head congestion, sleepiness! I really could use some tea 🙂
My symptoms: I’m tired! I just start dragging by mid-afternoon and could really use some nice tea as a pick-me-up.
I have the crud…sore throat, congestion and sinus pressure. And I’m extremely tired:(
My Symptoms:I have been having constant headaches for 2 weeks! plus my stomach has been acting weird and kind of bloated I would love this gift!
Since I am a full time student, I am usually tired, but lately I’ve been feeling more and more run down and unable to get going some days. Also, my sleep suffers because I can’t fall asleep sometimes. I don’t like taking any pills to aid in sleep, but don’t know what to take otherwise. Tea is my favorite drink and love to drink it when I am not feeling well. Awesome giveaway!
I think you and I are going through the same thing. I have a cold that has worked its way into my chest and in general just a lot of congestion. I am also trying to drink a lot of tea, vitamin C and eat well. Hope you feel well soon!
My symptom: the top of my mouth itches right before I get a cold. Weird, right? Another symptom is random tea cravings…I just can’t get enough!!
I can’t sleep!!!! Sleeping is so hard, I am tired all day from lack of sleep and it makes my body crave carbs like no other.
Sooooo sleepy! And I’ve always had tummy issues. This is a fantastic giveaway! 🙂
Every winter/cold spell it’s the same: I have a terrible headache and scratchy throat. Stuffy nose wouldn’t be bad either except I also have watery eyes! HELP!
MIne is always my throat! always irritated. Great giveaway!!
I have a runny nose, slight cough, and sometimes have trouble sleeping :-(. I could so use this!
I’m feeling healthy and want to stay that way! However, just two weeks ago I was sick with a kidney infection. I’m thankful for today’s health!
Every winter I get the same sore throat and sinus infection…which leaves me with a horrible headache..! and like a clock it has come once again. The only thing that makes it even worse is that this horrible winter weather that the Northeast just got has made it quite difficult to get around. This hasn’t helped my symptoms as I’ve been stuck in the house for 3 days! so tea would definitely help me with the sinus symptoms and the sore throat.
My symptoms: I need a major pick-me-up and to stay healthy. It seems everyone at school is coughing! A little extra immunity boost in tea form would be great 🙂
Hi there! Not sure if this counts as “sick” but I’ve always had some issues with getting my body to relax and sleep when I want it too and some major side effects of that are my constant headaches (often from caffeine withdrawls to supplement my lack of sleep) and I’m constantly struggling with my immune system. No matter how much exercise I get or how healthy the food I eat, it all seems to revolve around my sleep issues. I’ve really heard great things about this company and I’d love to try their natural approach. ESPECIALLY because I start my new job on friday working the AM shift (6am-2pm) at a local children’s shelter and I REALLY want to be on my “A” game for them. Contest or no contest I will certainly be giving “Celestial” a try!
Thanks for the tip! 🙂
Help, I’m feeling run down. I’m the type of girl that is go go go. I like it that way, but sometimes my body feels run down and it seems to always be at the times when I really don’t have time to rest.
I am feeling healthy and I want to stay healthy! A lot of people at work and my boyfriend are sick right now so I am doing everything in my power to stay strong and healthy! 🙂
Certain foods always upset my stomach and I hear peppermint helps soothe it. I would love to try the tummy tea!
I’m mostly upbeat and feeling good, except I need some help falling asleep! I get too wired up at night, can’t fall asleep, and then spend the next morning tired and craving caffeine :-/ help!
I’ve been having trouble sleeping. I wake up at about 3am and just can’t get back to sleep again. It’s very frustrating as I’ve always been a sleeping machine. This lack of sleep leaves me felling like a wet rag and I keep missing my morning workout as a result 🙁
I’m exhausted from college volleyball workouts, yet so stressed about them that I can’t sleep!
I love tea! My symptoms include bloating, feeling a dry and scratchy throat!
After Super Bowl Sunday last night I need to detox!!!! I’ve also been having a little problem getting to sleep, so a sleepy time tea would be helpful!
Overall, I’m feeling pretty good, but I do love tea! I am feeling a little run down just today, so I guess I can count that as a symptom. 🙂
Generally i would fall under, “feeling healthy,” but after one bad nights sleep i am definitely feeling rundown. i would love to see if this works!!
I’m a new mother and “I’m feeling run down” & “My immune system needs a boost” sound like the teas I’d like to try. Do they have one for colicy babies, also???? 🙂
Meh. Vomiting (tmi?), lots of pressure against my sinuses, and a itchy nose. Would love the tea!
Actually I think these all sound relevant to me! Have definitely felt good, and waiting to maintain that feeling but also had pbms with sleep, digesting, too much to drink, etc. They all sound beneficial and great! 😀
Right now I’m feeling run down and tired but I think I could DEFINITELY use the detox tea on a Sunday morning after going out! Sound perfect :)!
What a great giveaway! I’m mourning the fact that my supply of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea is twindling, and there’s no more til next December! So, my first symptom is clearly heartache 🙂 Hmmm, I think I’m a little bloated from indulging during the weekend, but overall, I’m healthy, thankfully, and want to stay that way. Loving your blog, Gina! Just printed out the work-out you posted today for use tomorrow morning. Thank you!
I feel a little run down and overwhelmed with school projects, plus a little bloated from overindulging lately!
I would love some sleepytime to wind down after a long day!
I can’t sleep and I have a sore throat. Other than that, I’d also love the green tea to help boost my immune system.
My symptoms almost always include an upset stomach, unfortunately. But other than that, healthy as a horse! Thanks for the giveaway, Gina!
Ooh, I would love this package! I can always tell when I have a cold coming on because I wake up with a weird scratchy feeling in my throat.
I can never get a good nights sleep!! and as a college student the detox would be perfect on sunday mornings. I also love tea!
