What’s your name, occupation and instagram handle?
My name is Kelly Scott. I’m a personal chef and content creator. You can follow me at @kellyscleankitchen.
What inspired you to start creating mocktails?
I almost never drink, but still like having a fun and flavorful drink in hand when being social or at home with a nice dinner. I love that they are much healthier and don't have the negative effects that alcohol can have.
What does holistic health mean to you?
Holistic health means looking at my health from all angles to try to be the healthiest and best version of myself that I can be. This often means looking at things from a more natural point of view to pin point to the root cause of the issue rather than addressing only the symptom with standard western medicine.
What do you love about Shuteye Chai?
I love the high quality ingredients first and foremost. Secondly, I love the great flavor. It has the perfect combination of warming spices to be a great night cap.
What's your nightly Shuteye Chai ritual?
I like to make a shuteye warm latte around 1 hour before bed and blend it with my favorite dairy free milk.
How does Shuteye Chai support your sleep?
I have seen that it definitely helps calm my nervous system and makes me more relaxed and ready for bed.
What do you do with the sediment at the bottom of the mug?
I typically mix it up with a spoon for a last flavorful sip!
What's your favorite sleep tip?
I avoid electronics and screen time for two hours before bed, wear blue blocker glasses once the sun sets, drink Shuteye Chai and also take Sleep Blend before bed. I also always read before bed instead of scrolling on my phone.
