Tulips & Tea: A Spring Reset with Nature and a Blue-Hued Beauty Sip
The tulips are blooming in Skagit Valley! I visted Tulip Town last month, and between the rows of vibrant petals, fresh air, and gentle sunshine, something inside me exhaled.
As someone who spends a lot of time indoors (hi spa life 👋), I forget how good it feels to just be outside — no agenda, no screens, just nature doing its thing. It was the kind of reset I didn’t know I needed, and it got me thinking about other small rituals that support mental wellness and glowing skin.
Enter: Butterfly Pea Flower Tea — my newest tea obession.
What Is Butterfly Pea Flower Tea?
It’s a gorgeous, deep blue herbal tea made from dried butterfly pea flowers (also called Clitoria ternatea). Beyond its magical color-shifting ability (just add lemon and it turns purple!), this tea is packed with antioxidants, supports collagen production, and is known in traditional Ayurvedic practices for reducing stress and supporting brain health.
Skin + Wellness Benefits:
Rich in Anthocyanins: These powerful antioxidants help protect skin from premature aging by fighting off free radical damage.
Collagen Support: May aid in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness — especially when enjoyed regularly.
Stress Relief: Traditionally used to soothe the nervous system and support mental clarity.
Mood-Lifting Ritual: Just watching it steep into a brilliant blue hue feels like a moment of magic. ✨
Bee Well Moment: Nature + Tea = Nervous System Reset
After walking through Tulip Town, I brewed a cup of butterfly pea flower tea at home with a drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon. I paired it with a hydrating face mask (bonus points if it includes calendula or aloe) and let myself fully relax for 20 minutes. No phone. No emails. Just my tea, my breath, and that calm post-outdoors feeling.

You don’t need a plane ticket to feel recharged. Sometimes a local flower field and a cup of magical blue tea are all it takes. Nature truly knows best — whether it’s tulips for the soul or flowers in your mug.
Make space for your version of this ritual, even if it’s just ten minutes. Your nervous system (and your skin) will thank you. 💛
