A Herbal Mocktail That Nourishes While You Sip

If you want a winter drink that feels indulgent and still supports your body, this one does both. Bright hibiscus, warming cinnamon, and fresh citrus come together in a mocktail that tastes good and delivers real herbal benefits.

Citrus Hibiscus Herbal Spritz

Hibiscus tea, cinnamon, orange, lime, a touch of honey, and sparkling water.

Why it works for your body:

Hibiscus supports healthy blood pressure, promotes gentle detoxification, and provides antioxidants that help reduce inflammation.

Cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar while adding warmth and circulation support.

Citrus delivers natural vitamin C and aids digestion, especially helpful during heavier winter meals.

Honey offers antimicrobial properties and a soothing sweetness without refined sugar.

How to make it:
Brew hibiscus tea with a cinnamon stick, cool it, add a bit of honey, then mix in fresh orange and lime juice. Pour over ice and top with sparkling water or ginger beer. Finish with a citrus garnish.

This is a simple, beautiful way to bring herbal support into your daily routine. Perfect for winter gatherings, mindful evenings, and anyone choosing alcohol-free options that still feel special.

Your body naturally slows down in December. It’s a biological response to darker days, colder weather, and a nervous system that’s trying to conserve more energy. This season wasn’t designed for pushing hard, it was designed for restoration.
Gentle movement
Walking, restorative stretching, and intentional breathwork help regulate your nervous system and keep your energy steadier through winter. But there are other ways to support your body during this seasonal shift too:

Prioritize sleep
Shorter daylight affects circadian rhythm, making quality sleep even more important for mood, immunity, and stress resilience. Consistent bedtimes and low-light evenings help your system recalibrate.

Support your immune system
More time indoors means more exposure to seasonal viruses. Nourishing foods, hydration, balanced minerals, and steady routines all help your immune system stay strong.

Hydrate intentionally
Cold weather reduces thirst cues, and indoor heat dries out your system. Even mild dehydration impacts energy, mood, and metabolic function.

Consider gentle nutrient support
IV therapy can help replenish nutrients that drop during winter stress — vitamin C for immune support, magnesium for sleep and nervous system balance, and hydration blends for overall wellness. When your body is already working harder, direct nutrient support can help you feel more grounded and steady.

Winter isn’t the season for aggressive change.
It’s the season for nourishment, slower rhythms, and small habits that support your whole system.
When you care for your body in the season it’s in, everything feels more sustainable.

Cranberries show up everywhere this time of year, but they’re more than a seasonal flavor. They’re one of the most researched natural supports for urinary tract health, especially during the colder months when UTIs tend to spike.
How cranberries actually help:

It’s not about acidity or “flushing.”

It’s about a specific plant compound called proanthocyanidins (PACs).
PACs don’t kill bacteria; they help keep certain bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls, making it harder for an infection to take hold. This helps support the body’s natural ability to clear irritants before they become a bigger issue.

Why winter matters:

• people drink less water in colder weather

• dehydration concentrates urine

• immune systems work harder

• many people hold urine longer during cold months

• holiday travel disrupts routines

All of this increases the likelihood of irritation and imbalance.
Adding cranberries (or a clinically backed cranberry extract with measurable PACs) can be a helpful part of a winter wellness routine.
But here’s the important part:
If you’re experiencing symptoms or recurring UTIs, cranberry alone usually isn’t enough.

That’s where Susie’s UTI Treatment Protocol comes in.
It’s a more complete, supportive approach designed to help you understand what’s happening, calm inflammation, and take the right next steps for your body, instead of guessing or relying on quick fixes.

If you’ve been struggling with urinary discomfort this winter, or you want to get ahead of it, Susie’s protocol is a grounded, step-by-step resource that can help you navigate symptoms with more clarity and support.

December is peak season for one of the Willamette Valley’s most iconic ingredients: Oregon hazelnuts. If you live near Aurora, you’re surrounded by some of the most nutrient-rich hazelnut orchards in the country.

And these little powerhouses offer more than great flavor.

Hazelnuts are naturally rich in:

• vitamin E, which supports skin health and immune function

• healthy fats, important for hormone balance and nervous system support

• magnesium, a mineral many people are depleted in during winter

• folate + B vitamins, key for energy and stress resilience

• antioxidants, which help the body manage inflammation

What makes them perfect for winter?
Their nutrient profile supports the exact systems that take the biggest hit this season — stress response, immune strength, energy levels, and mood regulation.
Add a handful to oatmeal, sprinkle over roasted vegetables, or enjoy them with dark chocolate for a simple, nourishing winter snack.
When you eat with the season, you support your body the way nature intended. And around Aurora, Oregon... hazelnuts are the perfect place to start.
