Something That Helps Me Sleep 2 by olivetreeann

Something That Helps Me Sleep 2

After the chores are done, and the evening conversation has quieted; the tv is turned off and all the 365 photos are viewed and praised, it's time to fire up the kettle and pour a cup of chamomile tea- a lovely vanilla version that is a sweet finish to the day and helps me to fall gently into dreamland.
I like the sound of the vanilla version - chamomile is a wee bit funny for my taste! Great porcessing on this photo!

By the way, I wanted to ask you, have you ever been to Hawk Mountain Reserve? My Brother and I, and another person are planning a trip up there once it gets a little warmer. If it's close enough, it would be neat to do a meet up. Not sure how close it is to you.

Sounds like a wonderful night....and delicious tea!

Cool perspective and processing. It would make a perfect ad.

Sounds delicious. Cool processing!

Does it really help you sleep? I will try it if you vouch for it. BTW, love your treatment of this graphic.
March 25th, 2013  
That sounds so relaxing! Good for you!

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie- Celestial Seasonings also makes an apple version which is also good!
@anazad511 Thank you Ana!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- yes, a very nice tea! I have heard of that- I will google it and see where I am in relation to it. That would be great!
@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen! I really like it- I'd probably drink it during the day but it does make me sleepy!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@smithak Thank you Smitha!
@nadaa Thank you Nada!
@tara11 Thank you Tara!
@allie912 Thank you Allison! Yes, it does help make me sleepy and I usually doze off about a 1/2 to an hour after having some! It's very calming. I haven't always found the vanilla version in the stores, so I've ordered it on line. They also have a few other "flavors"- I tried the apple version recently and that was good too.

Oh my favorite!! I also like Sweet Dreams. I haven't had tea in ages. I should restock and start my tea drinking at night again. You've inspired me. Great shot! I like the processing. Well done! :)
March 25th, 2013  
Very neat work!
March 25th, 2013  
Great shot! I like the poster feel :)
(My one and only experiment with chamomile tea before bed resulted in some of the worst nightmares I've ever had... no chamomile for me!)

Lovely processing. I don't need assistance to sleep.
March 25th, 2013  
I am with you
March 25th, 2013  
Sounds like a nice way to relax. Great shot and looks like an ad.
March 25th, 2013  
love the processing and love the vanilla.. =) great photo..
March 25th, 2013  
Ooh I didn't know you could get vanilla! Sounds nice. Love the pov and processing on this.
March 25th, 2013  
Nice sleepy ritual. I like mint tea but can't drink it just before bed or I get heartburn. Might try this.
March 25th, 2013  
Sounds like a well-deserved cuppa. :)
March 25th, 2013  
very interesting shot!
March 25th, 2013  
Great photo
March 25th, 2013  
Pretty processing. I must try the vanilla version sometime.
March 25th, 2013  
It's chamomile tea for me each night, too. Cool effect.
March 25th, 2013  
I love the way you are presenting this drink.. have to look for it and give it a try.

Thank you to one and all! I'm really tickled that this shot inspired some of you to check this tea out. Too bad I won't get any commissions on it!! lol
March 26th, 2013  
Very cool shot. I love your processing.
March 26th, 2013  
Love the POV for this shot, as well as the processing as Edie just noted. It's a lovely still life.
March 26th, 2013  
@edie Thank you Edie!
@taffy Thank you Taffy!
A fun combination of iPiccy's Advanced HDR and "Posterize" with the color's vibrance enhanced to bring out the blue of the mug.

I've tried drinking a hot tea at night before bed to help me sleep but it never helps :(

@deniseinindy Thank you Denise!
@rayg86 Thanks Ray- it depends on the tea. If it's got caffeine in it, it's not going to help. Try chamomile or passion fruit. They are both supposed to help. This brand (Celestial Seasonings) and flavor (vanilla- and the apple flavor is good too) really works for me.

@olivetreeann I'll def give those a try especially the passion fruit one. Tonight I'm having a couple of beers.

I love this shot and processing. I thought I had already commented on it, but I guess not. :-)
