Happy Monday, everyone! We had a really good weekend after a pretty extremely long week. I worked a little on this side project I have going on, which I can’t wait to share. Hint: it involves me and acting. We took an adventure around Brooklyn and ended up at the Brooklyn Brewery and finished the day at one of our favorites, The Meatball Shop. Followed by a three hour nap and then ten hours of sleep because that’s how much sleep I require these days.

Sorry I went MIA last week but with settling into a new job and just dealing with things, my mind has been elsewhere. I’m hoping to be back to posting regularly pretty damn soon.

How was your weekend?!

tea time

I’ll admit it, I’m a wee bit obsessed with tea and have become a bit of a tea snob. If what they say is true, admitting you have a problem is the first step, so I’m on the right path. But I’m not just obsessed with any tea, no sir. I basically live for David’s Tea. And no, they haven’t compensated me at all for this post, I’m just that into them.

Word on the street is that lots of other people like tea too, so I thought I’d share my current favorites.

I praise the day Kathy recommended North African Mint. I love this tea and I drink it everyday. Green tea and mint is an amazing combination. Normally, green tea makes me feel the slightest bit nauseous  but this doesn’t. It’s the best green tea I’ve ever tried and it’s organic. Huge plus!

Forever Nuts is a caffeine free favorite of mine that just tastes amazing. Now, if you’re allergic to nuts, it’s probably not a good choice. But I think it tastes like apple cinnamon nut muffins aka heaven.

This Cinnamon Roobios Chai is a new one in the rotation. If you like cinnamon, you’ll love this tea and it’s also organic and caffeine free. It’s perfectly sweet with the slightest touches of orange and lemon. It’s what I drink when I want a cookie around 3pm.

When it’s time for bed, I like to unwind with Sweet Dreams. It’s a perfect blend of chamomile, lemongrass, hibiscus, licorice, lemon, orange and rose petals. I secretly love how the rose petals color the tea. I drink my tea in this mug, so I can watch the tea steep. It’s one of my favorite parts. I know, I need help.

Do you like tea? What are some of your favorites?

Words actually cannot express how excited I am that it’s picnic weather again and since Central Park is a stone’s throw from our apartment, we spend a lot of time there when it’s nice. I’m definitely looking forward to spending outside this weekend and winding down from a busy week! Between starting my new job and dealing with all of this, it’s been nuts.

What are your plans this weekend? Also, midwestern friends, I am so sorry about the weather. I’ve been trying to get Mother Nature on the horn and tell her how horrible she is but the line’s been busy.

Well, hello there. Hope you all are having a good week so far, I’ve been pretty busy this week. Lots of changes that I’ll be sharing soon, other than the obvious that you already know about. Also, last night the light in our kitchen broke. So that was awesome. Try doing dishes in the dark, with knives. I honestly don’t recommend it. Ever. And before you even ask, the lightbulb didn’t burn out. We changed it and still no light. Thanks a lot, Edison.

And in case you missed it, I accomplished, sort of, a fishtail braid with my short hair. I was pretty proud of myself.
