Self-Care with Hoogly Tea Review: April 2020 #Gifted
With the Coronavirus Covid-19 making worldwide waves, isolation periods and social distancing are in force it is important to take care of your own mental health and well-being.
Hoogly tea a British brand with a Nordic twist, founded by tea enthusiast, is about the ‘Hygge’ way of life. Hyggelig (Hoogly) is the adjective of Hygge meaning combines feelings of warmth, cosiness and well-being.
Meditation
Switch off and unwind first thing by practising meditation a simple relaxing and reflective process to help refresh and reset the mind.
Enjoy a cup or two of Hoogly green tea after meditation to boost your newfound motivation and focus.
Hoogly tea bags are hand blended and packed in the UK, ethically sourced, Fairtrade and their fully biodegradable pyramids have no plastic and are made from plant extract, so they are soil association certified.
Read a Book
Yep, if you are anything like me, you probably have a book list a mile long, so now is the time to embrace and read your socks off.
Hoogly stock two books that I highly recommend including Lykke and Hygge that are all about living well and being happy.
Hot Bath
Stop take a moment and stop watching the time slip by in the hourglass, because you deserve some ‘You time’. Run the bath, add some bubbles and soak relax and unwind.
Enjoy a cup of Hoogly’s lovely luxury hot chocolate before, during or after to make for a cosy chilled night.
Sleep
Super important to make sure that you get enough sleep, so your body has time to repair and recharge.
Don’t stay asleep too long though, as you want time to make your fabulous Hoogly order to make your ‘you’ time even more inspiring.
Stay Home and Stay Safe
Thank you for reading 😊

I love tea, especially flavoured ones. Since lockdown began I have found myself leaning towards coffee but the last week i have been trying to up my tea in take in a bid to reduce milk consumption.
These sound lovely, I might have to give them a go. And if nothing else you’ve convinced me to have a bath this evening x
