Obviously, we all know we can drink tea. After all it has been done for centuries. General idea is to toss some tea leaves into hot water, wait an appropriate amount of time, strain, and enjoy. Bam, I have just provided the most simplified way to make and drink tea. I know I am making light of its simplicity, in… Read more →
*Image from The Daily Tea Back in 2013 The Daily Tea approached me about writing an article and offering up a couple DIY beauty recipes using tea as a main ingredient. Of course I didn’t want to miss an opportunity like that. If you would like to check out my recipes and the article I wrote visit The Daily Tea.… Read more →
It’s #MatchaMonday which for me equals to any excuse to drink and eat matcha. I absolutely love how versatile matcha can be. My favorite way is the traditional method. Water and matcha combined well and easily adjusted to the strength I prefer. I have always been a traditionalist by heart with a flare for experimentation. Matcha also makes for a great… Read more →
First, thank you so much for being patient with me. It has been a crazy end to 2015 and even crazier beginning to 2016. All good but still time consuming. In the mean time I have gathered quite the list of blog posts I need to jump on. This was a request from my Facebook Page. I made these… Read more →
Holy expletive Batman! Made my first ever Bulletproof Matcha Latte Friday morning before a very intense strength and cardio class at my gym. It is the only class I’ve ever taken that made me feel as if I were extremely unfit. Sweat pours, heart is pumping, and muscles burning. It was my intention to do myself a little favor… Read more →
My house guest has officially departed. Which means back to normal life for us. Which also means more “me” time. For me that includes not just drinking tea but writing about tea too. It also means creating with tea and believe it or not activities unrelated to tea. I am certain there were a gasp or two when reading that. Let… Read more →
I don’t know about you but when the weather starts to heat up I start to find myself looking for cold treats. I have never really enjoyed super heavy desserts. I tend to gravitate towards cold refreshing treats with a water base or at the very least a light cream base. Sometimes I do splurge and in this case it… Read more →
If there is one thing predictable about life is it’s unpredictability. It has been a while since I last posted. Maybe a little over a week now. It’s been crazy at the Carter House. This is my daughters last week of school so naturally this means chaos. Mass hysteria about which dress to wear, how to do her hair, and… Read more →
Rough start today. Son woke up kind of early and I was so tired from all the craziness from yesterday that I truly wanted to just stay in bed. Of course this is never an option for the mom on the go. So I get up against my own good judgement and soldier on. It helps that on the ride… Read more →
I’ll make this one quick. I plan on tomorrow’s post to be the final of the daily series. I will still continue the challenge for an entire month and will post once a week until the month is up. I would have continued daily but I’ll be honest it is a bit much for me plus I don’t think there… Read more →
“One of the most predictable thing about life is just how unpredictable it really is.” I am sure this quote originated somewhere more amazing then where I first heard it which was in the Disney movie Ratatouille. I said last week that this week was going to be business as usual and it has proven to be far from that.… Read more →
