Riding Out The Storm With Green Tea And Chocolate

Hi Beauties!

Yesterday a storm hit Denmark. Usually our weather-cast on tv blows it up to a huge deal every time something like this comes along. And you never know if it's a fluke. Like... 1999 we had a storm that almost resembled a hurricane. It was really scary and crazy to experience. We're not used to that kind of weather.

But what to do when you're stuck in a weather like this? My cat certainly didn't feel like going out, despite that being her favourite thing to do. It was really just one of those miserable days. On top of it all I felt a bit sickly, and decided to cancel the appointments I had that day, and stay indoor. And the weather forcasts certainly helped that along. You do not want to go outside when a storm is raging. But back to the main question. What to do? Obviously eating homemade cookies, and drinking tea is the answer! And I decided to do a small blogpost about the benefits of my afternoon snack. Alright. I am not fooling anybody trying to claim chocolate chip cookies are healthy. They're not! But some of it actually is. In moderations, of course.

The beauty benefits of green tea

First of all green tea is known to help against bad breath. And if we go through hours (ok maybe just minutes), of making ourself look good, smelling good is just as important. Another thing is, green tea is full of anti oxidants. It helps your skin clear up, and hydrate your body. Lastly, I have to mention another thing I heard about. Green tea is supposedly an anti wrinkle remedy! if I weren't convinced before, I'm definitely going to drink a cup of green tea more often.

The beauty benefits of chocolate

Just like green tea, dark chocolate contains antioxidants. It will keep your skin soft and supple, make your skin look younger for longer. Another interesting fact is, that dark chocolate helps blood flow to your scalp. This in turn will help your lustrous locks grow out faster. As a side effect of this, it's also supposed to help against hair loss. Although few women tend to suffer from this.

The beauty benefits of aroma therapy

The main reason to use aroma therapy, is how it makes you feel. Having a house that smells good, makes us happy. Perhaps the scent reminds us of something nice. Being happy means you're reducing your stress level. Not being stressed means having a healthier mind and body. Your mind and body is so closely attuned, and one will inevitibly affect the other. So being happy and less stressed will make a difference in your over all look.

What did you do yesterday?
How was the weather where you were?
