Being a girl who loves to read a million blogs about all the latest 'must haves', reviews of products tend to be my fave type of post. When starting back at uni I bought myself the YourTea - TinyTea Teatox, which was all the craze in the blogging world. Having read numerous reviews I thought to myself lets give this a try, and decided to note down my journey to see the changes.
This post is a simple review of how it went for me in comparison to what I had read previous, so bare with me guy as this is my first ever product review!
I have never liked hot drinks. Not because of the taste, but I just for some reason have never been keen on the hot part of it. Deciding to try the teatox was therefore a big choice for me as I was pretty sure I wouldn't like it, but after seeing all the bloggers raving about it, I thought just give it a go.... This led to me buying the 28 day TinyTea Teatox at a reasonable £31.00. With the benefits including assistance with weight loss, bloating and problematic skin I was definitely on board, hoping that it would work. The packaging is so cute, with a handy little booklet of all the teas that they do and pretty pink packets which I loved, and encouraged me to actually do the teatox properly, however silly that sounds!
Day 1-7
As said previously, not being a hot drinker made remembering to make the tea very hard, and then also remembering to drink it haha. You take the tea 3 times a day; half an hour before or after each meal, which by day 7 I had finally caught the hang of! My first week didn't really show many changes, I guess I felt a little more awake but nothing really noticeable, and for this reason I would definitely buy the 28 day package instead of the 14.
Day 8-14
This week I found that I looked forward to having my cup of tea, which I have to say is much much nicer than some green teas I have tried since. The flavour is lovely, and I found that I didn't really have an issue with it being hot, a small miracle! It does take FOREVER to cool down though, like a good 15 minutes, which often meant when in a hurry I burnt my mouth off. I wish someone had of told me this beforehand so I had a little warning. Although I stupidly didn't take before and after photos I did notice that my bloating had started to reduce. I wouldn't say I had lost weight, not at this point anyway, but I felt much better after eating a big meal and the bloating wasn't so noticeable as before. I loved that, as bloating has always been a big issue for me so it was nice to know that there was a way of reducing this.
Day 15-21
I found that this week was very similar to the previous. The bloating was still at a minimum, but still no weight loss, although this is just an added benefit and not everyone loses weight from it. I was much more awake during the day and often foregoing my daytime nap ritual, which gave me the energy I needed to do my uni work and all the other studenty things I did with friends.
Day 22+
I was very disappointed to see the week come to an end. I loved the tea for its flavour and benefits, although losing a few pounds would've been a nice addition! I feel much more healthier in myself, I do believe my skin has cleared slightly which is always good, and it definitely helped with bloating problems.
I would definitely recommend the TinyTea teatox to those who are interested as the overall health benefits were noticeable, if only to myself. I would also 100% purchase this again, which I will do before summer as it was a nice and easy cleanse to keep up with. The numerous reviews out there that mirror mine are also something to go by... TRY IT OUT.
