A Storms A Comin’ It’s true I’m a bit of an odd ball. Unless it poses a very real danger to people and property I look forward to thunderstorms. ETA 11:00am CST until the storm arrives and I haven’t an idea what to drink. Normally when the excitement starts I make a cup of tea and park myself in front… Read more →
Let me start by saying this trip was a special one for me. It was my first adventure on my own that wasn’t exactly what you would call a traditional business trip, in this case I’m the only boss I report to. I had a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and reunite with old friends. Being able to visit… 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 →
Wow! What a day. Yesterday I had a scheduling conflict and didn’t make it to the gym. Don’t worry I still had my can of Unsweetened Matcha Love from Ito En, did some planks, squats, and walked around my neighborhood. I am not going to make any judgements about I felt yesterday only because the challenge was for me to… Read more →
Today I stocked my refrigerator with a few of my favorite ready to drink teas, many from Ito En. That very picture inspired the idea that I’d love to see your tea stash. Of course this just my RTD’s I’d never be able to photograph all my actual tea leaves. As a result, I thought I’d feature this picture today.… Read more →
Day 2: Unexpected * I’ll make this quick and will start by saying I’m not a doctor and my results are my own. I exercise 5 days a week and follow a strict diet high in protein, low in calories, low in sugar, and moderate on carbs. I normally drank the Ito En Sencha Shot before my workout I am now trying… Read more →
PREFACE My normal routine is to have a Sencha Shot from Ito En right before I hit the gym. A little background… I go to the gym a minimum five days a week, Monday through Friday. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I do weights and cardio. Tuesday and Thursday is cardio only. Weekends I stay active by doing outdoor activities with… Read more →
*This post has nothing to do with tea. Stop here if you expected to read about tea. Don’t want to disappoint anyone. I had truly contemplated if I really wanted to post this and especially the picture above. Then I realized I needed to do it for me. Right now I don’t see what everyone keeps telling me they see.… Read more →
If you don’t know already I am a huge fan of tea and tech. If you can somehow combine the two successfully I am in love. At the World Tea Expo 2015 in chilly, yes chilly Long Beach, California I was introduced to the new love of my life. Let me introduce you to the Tea-Ceré by Sharp Home USA.… Read more →
Back home after an amazing trip to Long Beach, CA for the World Tea Expo. Enjoyed catching up with friends, meeting new friends, of course trying new products and in usual fashion I have taken a couple of samples I received and made something brand new. Of course I couldn’t disappoint my adoring fans, thus a new tea cocktail is born. I… Read more →
