Natural Lifestyle Letters

Hi Reader,

Autumn and winter are the best times to catch up on some learning that is forgotten during summer, when being outside is more tempting and hands-on learning happens in nature.

When it's rainy outside create your cozy atmosphere, light up a candle, and grab a book or study a course. These are my best resources that I am sharing with you to level up your knowledge before the year ends:

Simply living well

Written with warmth, this is a perfect book for those who have already dabbled in the natural lifestyle but need more confidence and direction. Includes plenty of tangible tips in the kitchen, on recycling, and living every day more naturally.

Stuff Every Tea Lover Should Know

Loving this tiny book! There is a substantial amount of knowledge hidden on those pages! And it fits in any pocket or purse (I used to commute with this tea book ♡).

Stuff Every Tea Lover Should Know goes through all terms, tea types, traditions, and has even a chapter on tea cocktails! For beginners in tea.

If you are looking for Nordic simplicity in homemaking and natural living, tea and infusion recipes, and you are seeking ways to balance your energy naturally, well sister, you have arrived in the right place!

A woman holding her fingger on a homemade Rooibos chait ea blend jar.

🌿 Natural Lifestyle Letters Reader, I started playing around with chai blends when my three-year-old fell in love with chai latte. I loved that she enjoyed it so much, but I wasn’t so keen on the caffeine in black tea. You know, it’s not exactly one of those low-caffeine teas. With the caffeine content of about 40-70mg per cup, black tea starts to reach the same levels as a cup of coffee (average about 90mg). So long story short, rooibos came into the picture. It happened so that the...
