Celestial Seasonings
Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a wonderful day. As you know, I received a package from the lovely people at Celestial Seasonings last week.
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.

Ready…. set…. GO!
I always have major stomach problems.. can’t seem to take in a lot of food.. ='( including dairy!! =/
i would love to try ginseng or any of them!
thanks!
What a great give-away. I am one of those gals who is always bloated. It makes me feel so run-down and uncomfortable. And nothing fits right; everything is too tight – which makes it even worse.
ok this sounds amazing i never realized they had tea for stomach problems! i have bloated problems and gastrointestinal problems for years now and the doctors just cant figure out wats wrong. I take probiotics, simethicone and bethaine hydrochloride to try to ease the symptoms but it never works! id love to try the tea and see if it helps settle things out. Thanks fitnessista!
I always get bloated or don’t drink enough water, and tea helps me fill up those 8 cups a day!
I’m most definitely feeling run down. School projects are killing me this week 🙁 My workouts have sucked; a boost of energy and a good night sleep sounds just about perfect right now!
I could really use the green tea to keep my immune system happy… I’ve been really stressed lately, and I know that’s the fastest way to get sick!
I am actually feeling quite healthy right now, so I would love the Green Tea with antioxidants to keep it that way 🙂 And the sleepytime bear is sooo cute!
I have been feeling very anxious and stressed lately and calming chamomile just might do the trick to get me through my work day 😉
This would be perfect for me! I have had a nagging cough/sinus thing going on for 3 weeks now. I teach elementary school and am around sniffy/coughing kids all day long so while I do my best (and drink Emergen-C), I think the Echinacea Complete Care would be perfect!
I can definitely use some energy picker-upper, in a revitalizing and refreshing sense, since I’m somewhat stressed from studying a big exam. That Ginseng Energy sounds wonderful!
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I don’t get sick too often but I actually just got past a sore throat and now I’m in a runny nose stage!! So mine would be sore throat and beginning to feel sick; my immune system needs a boost.
i’d love to try the sore throat tamer, i’ve been fighting a dry/sore throat since having surgery!
Detox AM…attending university of arizona, over indulging in coffee and other beverages are unavoidable. mehehe
Coming from two different angles here! It’s that time of the month for me so bloated is something I’m definitely feeling right now! Also, I love to stay healthy by boosting my immune system with both echinacea and green tea! They work like a charm and help me form ever getting sick! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I’m getting over a cold — still have a lingering runny nose, but I am feeling just a few days away from being healthy again! Thanks for the giveaway, Gina!
I wake up every morning with sinus congestion! It makes it so hard to get out of bed on cold days! I could use some echinacea!
Hello,
I have been feeling very run down, have been fighting off a cold, with sniffles, sratchy throat, and have been extremely tired. And, no I am not pregnant!! Tea would be lovely!!!!
i just can’t seem to shake my sinus/nose congestion. tea would be amazing!
Fatigue…I have too much to do lately!!
Oh do I need help at bedtime … Sleepytime Extra sounds like a nice solution!
I have been waking up every morning feeling congested with a terrible sore throat. It usually clears up in an hour or two but is not the greatest start to my morning.
Right now I could tea to boost my immunity. I have 2 sick children both with upper respiratory symptoms and I’ve been trying to fight it off with lots of vitamins. I am a preschool teacher so I am exposed to lots and lots of germs. 🙂 In addition, I often have tummy problems so I would be interested in trying the tummy min tea too.
Thank you so much for the opportunity! I’ve been having tummy, mainly bloating, ever since I started doing 12 hour shifts 🙁 And I could always use something to help me sleep.
I suffer from IBS and quite possibly endometriosis, it SUCKS! having any type of natural remedies to help my sick stomach, my bloated belly and my never ending pain and plain ol’ crappy feeling, would be magnificent.
i’m willing to try anything and everything at least once
I could definitely use the soothing lip balm to help with the harsh cold outside and hardcore heaters inside! As well as green tea for a healthy immune system!
I have a stressful lifestyle and the relaxing teas would be a wonderful addition to my life! Thank you.
I am feeling a little run down and could use a bit of a pick me up. I love their teas, I never knew they had so many 🙂
I’ve got the sniffles and a bit of a sore throat with an occasional cough. :[ I spent all of last semester with a nasty lingering cold, so I really hope that doesn’t happen again this semester! Especially since it’s my last before I graduate with my BS in Nutrition! (I also have a green tea obsession, btw! I love it for colds with a bit of honey and fresh lemon juice!)
the timing on this couldn’t be better! Lately I haven’t been sleeping as well as I could. I seem to have a hard time quieting my mind at night. So the sleepy time extra tea would be one I’d love to try!
i’m feeeling run down for sure!
I have been feeling run down and have not been able to sleep well for weeks. I have been overwhelmed with schoolwork (grad school…so fun) and a ton of stuff going on in my life.
Also, to Kelly Hu and you, Miss Gina…GO CATS! I am a proud U of A alum and currently trying to relax in some Arizona sweats 🙂 Oh how I miss college and Tucson…
GO CATS!! wahooo!
I woke up today with the worst sore throat ever and havent been able to get any throat coat yet, so I would love to try the sleepy time throat tamer!
I would love something to soothe a sore throat or runny nose.
I just went to the doctor today for my stomach issues and would love to try the tummy mint! I wish I had some right now!
I think the sleepytime tea my stomach is a mess when I run and I’m always sore and exhausted, but too wired to sleep! I think they all sound perfect!
I need the Detox tea after eating a few too many things at a Superbowl party.
I am feeling run down from school, school, and more school! I’m in the homestretch of my senior year of college and feeling the stress now more than ever! They all sound great!
I am feeling totally run down lately, hubby is deployed with the Canadian Navy and our 15 month old daughter keeps me busy, but after 3 months I am exhausted!!
I am getting married in six months and could totally use the Ginseng Energy tea for a pick me up!
I would love to try the Sleeptime Extra, have not been sleeping well lately.
I would love to try the Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea to stay healthy!
I have been sick for the last 2 weeks and would love a tea to make me feel much better! I don’t have time to be sick!
I’ve been having horrible stomach problems since coming back from Europe (which was almost 2 months ago) so maybe the tummy mint will help soothe my cranky tummy!
I feel bloated…boo! Tummy mint sounds lovely.
I would love some ginseng tea as i’m feeling exhausted and run down lately. Maybe I should have taken a page from Dori’s book and slept an extra hour this morning. Oh well! Thanks for the giveaway!!
i’d be all over that tummy mint. i recently found out i’m preggers and i’m beginning to experience a bit of the queasyness. nothing too unbearable, but i’ll take any natural, non chemical relief i can get my hands on.
I am feeling healthy and want to stay that way- especially since I am training for a 1/2 marathon…..I am drinking loads of green tea as I write!
what a sweet giveaway! i love celestial seasonings teas, but have yet to try the tummy mint. and it would certainly be appropriate since my stomach has been out of control bloated and angry with me lately. and my cutie bf has celiacs, so he can always use a little tummy love 😉
i’m in desperate need of ANY flavor tea….can’t get rid of my awful cough : (
I am feeling healthy and want to stay that way. And Skylar would LOVE THAT BEAR!!!! Seriously, what a Valentines Day score that would be 🙂
