Herbal Water Review and Giveaway




I consider myself to be a amateur herbalist. I blend my own herbal teas, make my own incense and even grow a few herbs myself. I have over 200 kinds of herbs that the average person has never heard of. That's all part of being a new age mama. So when I heard about Ayala's Herbal Water, I was anxious to try it out. I was sent one of each of the six flavors to try out. They include, Ginger Lemon Peel, Lavender Mint Lemongrass Thyme, Lemongrass Mint Vanilla, Lemon Verbena Geranium. Clove Cardamom Cinnamon, and Cinnamon Orange Peel.


I tried the Lemongrass Mint Vanilla first and I really loved it.  Its like drinking water with just a hint of flavor. And the flavor is very close to the herbal teas I love. In addition to a great taste, Herbal Water has 0 caleries, is USDA  certified organic. and has no artifical additives or preservatives. This was the perfect pick me up for me. Since I'm expecting, I have to drink lots of water and its great to switch it up a little and have something with a little flavor.  Plus the herbs they use are uplifting and healthy for body and soul. Lavender in particular is wonderful herb to promote peace and calmness. Drinking this water will help you relax as you hydrate.

I did have the other members of my household try out the herbal water as well.  My kids wanted nothing to do with it, which I kind of expected after tasting it myself . They won't drink my herbal tea either.  Herbal drinks in general are something  you either love or hate and they are more  appropriate for an adult palette in most cases. My husband did enjoy the water as well (he stole my lavender) and has drank three since they arrived yesterday. I drank the other three so they went really fast because they are just too good.

If you have a hankering to try something new, right now is the perfect time to buy Herbal Water. They are currently offering a coupon code to save $5 off your order-Just cute and paste this code when you order.   fbtw2009  In addition, they always offer free shipping on all their orders.  Check out their facebook page to keep up with other great offers.

Now its time for the fun part! Herbal Water has offered to give one of the readers the chance to win the same variety pack that I received to review which includes one of each of the six flavors.  All you have to do to enter is visit Herbal Water and leave me a comment letting me  know which of their flavors you would like to try the most.  For additional entries you can do any of the following, but you must complete the initial entry first.

Lemongrass Mint Vanilla is the flavor I'm most interested in trying, although they all sound very interesting. I love that the products are all natural, and I applaud Ayala's Herbal Water for donating so much of their product to the people suffering in Haiti.
