Feeling Holiday Stress Already? Try This Calming Herbal Tea Blend

From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com

Hi Reader,

Can I be honest with you?

We haven’t even carved the turkey yet and I’m already a little stressed about the holidays.

I have no holiday card planned, no photo, no photographer, no matching outfits for the imaginary photographer I definitely haven’t booked… absolutely nothing.

And as far as shopping? I was supposed to have Christmas presents ready for my nieces and nephews when we see them over Thanksgiving.

Spoiler alert: I do not.

But here’s the thing I’m reminding myself this year:

I don’t have to send a card with a professional photo on it - if I even send one at all.😅

I can ship gifts later.🎁

I can pause long enough to enjoy it all — the excitement in the air when we're decorating the house, the cold nights that force my family all together on the couch watching a movie with hot cocoa, the peace that settles around the farm with a blanket of snow.

And that’s exactly why I made Ho-Ho-Hold It Together — my limited-time holiday tea that feels like a warm hug when your brain is focused on holiday stress instead of holiday bliss.

I made it red to celebrate the season (cute huh?) but also filled it with herbs that calm your nervous system and soften the edges of holiday overwhelm.

It’s basically the tea version of “take a deep breath, you’ve got this.”

And if you’re feeling one festivity away from losing it, you might want to grab a bag while it’s here.

And honestly? Exactly what my holiday season needed. 😉

xo,

​

P.S. FREE shipping when you spend $32 in my tea shop!

Starting Your Perimenopause Journey? Here’s What You Need to Know From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, If you’re reading this, chances are your body has decided it’s not following the script anymore. Maybe you woke up one day and thought, “Who even is this person in the mirror?” Weight showing up in new places, night sweats that make you feel like a melting candle, mood swings, brain fog, and that deep exhaustion you can’t seem to shake. I see women every day who think...

2025 Issue #44 The Real Reason You Can’t Lose Weight: Understanding Your Metabolic Type From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, I found an old journal from 2013. It was only two entries long. (Can you see where this is going?) I'm paraphrasing but it basically went like this, Entry #1: January 1 — “New Year, new me. I’m eating clean, I’m working out, This is going to be my year.” Entry #2: January 2 — “My friend came over with wine and I fell straight off the wagon. I guess this...

2025 Issue #43 How Blood Sugar Balance Can End Your Cravings and Holiday Stress From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, Before I became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I was an expert at starting diets. My "diet" always started after Halloween, mainly because I overdid it on the candy and felt bloated and puffy when I got dressed for work in the morning. Unfortunately that diet only lasted until my next sugar craving which was almost guaranteed after a candy binge. What I...
