Worthy activist.

19 Ridiculously Creative Geocache Containers

Sat, 26 May 2012 02:09:47 -0400

Geocaching is a game where GPS is used to play a grown-up version of hide and seek. The challenge with finding a cache is that it could be the the size of a shoebox size or the size of a tic-tac.

A Fairy House in a Wooded Wonderland

An Enchanted Cache is located in Northwest Arkansas. The house kit was bought on Etsy and the cache is hidden in a Playdough container amongst the rocks. To take it one step further, you could find a hollow tree and a hinged door and really pull it all together.

In a Rock Hidden Among Cactus

This micro cache was fit into the rock by drilling a hole large enough to squeeze it in there. Then the cache was dusted up below some cactus and left to be found.

In a Pre-Cut Log

When you're trekking through the woods, what fits in better than.... wood? This log was assembled and drilled at home, then brought out into the wild to plot its coordinates.

Under a Table in Fake Gum

Nano caches are about the size of a TicTac and only include a scroll inside to sign your team name. As if it's not cruel enough to plant one of these in the first place, these fake gum caches take it to the next level. This particular one was found under a metal table with a magnet.

10 Types Of Tea That'll Calm You Down

Fri, 25 May 2012 10:39:06 -0400

Ready to sip some leaves, flowers and stems to get your calm on? Calm-seeking stressheads, world-changing entrepreneurs and mommy-bloggers trying to hold up three work-from-home jobs can probably take some credit for the rise in tea sales over the last few years.

1. Lavender Tea

Big surprise that Lavender, a commercial success, tops the list here. Not only is Lavender said to be an anti-inflammatory (good for your gut, which is good for your mind) but it's also supposed to reduce anxiety in women. If you're allergic to pollen, you might consider chatting with your doc before taking any herbal teas.

2. Ashwaganda Tea

Ashwaganda has been used as an Indian medicine for thousands of years. In addition to promoting a general sense of well-being, it's said to help clear your mind, treat hypertension, treat severe stress and nervous exhaustion. The bonus here is that this herb is good enough to be sipped in the morning and won't send you into snoozeland halfway though the workday. LiveStrong thinks it might be the cure for our stressful lifestyles.

3. California Poppy Tea

California Poppy can be dried into tea for a headache cure and to get you in the mood for snoozing. The (bitter) California Poppyseed extract can also be added to any tea for a nice send-off before bed. Alternatively, just buy the tea which is said to help with insomnia and nervousness. No, it's not the same opiate you're thinking of.

4. Chamomile Tea

Chamomile has been popularized as the go-to tea for relaxation, but consider brewing it in combination with Lavender or any other calm-inducing herbs. It's caffeine-free (like everything else in this list) and retains many of the same health benefits as green tea. It's good for your lady parts too (if you have them).
