          Vince LaPelusa is the founder of fresh steeps. He has a chemical engineering background from the University of Iowa & loves digging into the science of these herbs & teas.Fresh Steeps is on a mission to teach athletes how tea can optimize longevity, recovery, & performance.
          All the herbs used by fresh steeps have been scientifically researched. 
          Fresh Steeps holds quality to the highest standard. For that reason they choose to only deliver loose leaf for four main reasons:
          1) Loose leaf is the traditional way tea was meant to be drank and they choose to honor that.
          2) Loose leaf minimizes toxins you can be exposed to from teabags such as microplastics, bleaches, inks, and dyes.
          3) Loose leaf is more sustainable than teabags because there is less packaging and everything can be composted after use.
          4) Loose leaf is a tastier experience. It allows the teas to unfurl in your pot expressing diverse flavors. The tea can then be resteeped up to 3 or 4 times!

        7. Heart Health & Moms on Holiday: Heidi-Burns Hilton- Entrepreneur & Mother
          Heart Check. Of course your first thought might be your emotional health but don't forget the physical health of your heart.
          When's the last time you've gone in for a screening or for preventative health checks? This is just your friendly reminder to do so. 
          Did you know lack of physical activity is one of the leading causes of heart disease?
          We understand there are plenty things (work, parenting etc.) that seep into the time we allocate for fitness and taking care of ourselves but just remember every bit of movement does count. Whether it's getting up every 2 hours for a 10 min walk or stretch that will truly benefit you immediately and in the long run.

          About Heidi Burns-Hilton: 
          Heidi is a woman entrepreneur, mom and advocate for preventative health in all forms. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and 16-month old baby, Huxley. 
          Over the past year, well since she was pregnant with Huxley, she has been searching for workouts, wellness rituals, how to keep traveling with a baby and most of all a mom (and soon to be moms) community she fit in with. She has been creating something that checks all the boxes above because she couldn't ever quite find what I was looking for. Drumroll please.... Meet MOMS ON HOLIDAY.
           
          Everyday escapes for the modern mom. 
          Workouts (all levels including prenatal + postpartum)
          Weekend City Guides (with discounts to local spots)
          Mom Merch (and baby!)
          She did not create Moms on Holiday to replace the fitness you are already doing. She created this to supplement, or literally do on holiday! They are short, sweet, effective and most of all are meant to let you escape and feel like you're on a holiday even if it's just for 10 minutes. You deserve that!
