#raspberry leaf tea

[ramona-sourdough]

Gardens, potted plants, and flowers watered. Five loaves mixed. Raspberry leaf and mint tea steeping. A moment to select a new book. Afternoon thunderstorm rolling in. Today has been sweet.

Fighting the urge to ask for period advice as if I haven’t been dealing with this for ___ years

This stuff^^ is the Good Stuff™️. I was having the worst cramps I've had in a looong time earlier so I made a cup (alongside a single tylenol, because it was BAD) and I have never experienced relief so fast. Lasted all day, too! So yeah, if you're having the mother of all period cramps... I HIGHLY recommend!!

My boyfriend and I went out thrifting for my 33rd birthday the other day and found my perfect teacup to begin practicing tasseomancy -- for the fabulous price of $2.99. 🙌

I've already completed this reading for myself, but I'm curious!

What do you see in my tea leaves?

[raspberryrose6]

Yeah. Cat position illustrative of my current mood!

In other examples of slightly bonkers things I’m doing every day to encourage Baby Girl to make the short journey into my arms:

-drinking 3 cups of strong raspberry leaf tea

-eating 3 medjoul dates (or 6 smaller ones). Impressed to find there is loads of scientific evidence behind this one!

-putting chilli on all my other food

-bouncing and rocking on my birthing ball like a demented weeble

-short routine of Daisy Birthing yoga-based exercises

-walking up the stairs sideways like a crab

-standing or sitting up straight as much as possible to encourage downward movement!

-forbidding myself from slouching on the sofa. I miss the sofa.

-100 squats

-walking for about an hour

-sniffing aromatherapy oil blend designed for labour

-using acupressure points designed to trigger labour

-rocking and rotating my hips at every opportunity. Like a sexy pregnant 1970s disco diva, I like to think. Or a whale gyrating.

Plus a couple of others I’m not going to mention on here because we like to keep it PG 😉

Nobody can say I don’t go all-in when I want something in life 😂

We can do this!
