GRATITUDE TEA
When your worries start, reach for chamomile tea.
Studies show that it blocks anxiety-promoting brain chemicals triggered by worry. Simple measure 1 teaspoon of dried chamomile flowers (avoid the weak, store-bought kind in tea bags) into your cup with just boiled water, cover, and steep for 15 minutes (Close your eyes, and count all the wonderful things your grateful for while you wait) Sip the cooled beverage and feel your worries slip away.
Caution: If you're allergic to ragweed and other members of the daisy family, don't use chamomile.

Green tea is an excellent skin refresher. Pour cooled green tea into a spritz-action bottle and use as a cool, refreshing toner. Mix some green tea into your aqueous cream to use as a cleanser and make-up remover.
