Creating Tea Scrubs at Chantilly Tea Spa Class

This past weekend, we held our Spa Class. We added loose-leaf tea leaves into homemade facial scrubs, milk & salt baths, and body scrubs.

Harraseeket Inn's Afternoon Tea

Chasing the changing leaves from Montreal to Maine and then Boston, I discovered afternoon tea at the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport, ME.

The Inn serves a buffet style afternoon tea in their drawing room. Sitting at a fireside table, I enjoyed ham...
