The Ultimate Gift for Tea Lovers!

If you know someone who really enjoys tea this little guy right here will make their day.

While looking for some Christmas gifts for my friends and family members, I came across this lovely Tea Chest. When I first saw it I wanted to buy right away, but at the time it was a little expensive for my budget. Especially because I was suppose to be buying gifts for other people and not me.  However, the day after Christmas this lovely and elegant Tea Chest went on SALE. (YaY) So, at this point it was a sign that I must buy it and I did.

The original Price was $29.99 (Which is a great price for this particular product, I am just cheap)

It went on sale for 14.99 (Now, who can beat that)

These are the descriptions provided by the Bed Bath & Beyond website. 

• Chest also functions as an elegant serving tray that prominently displays twelve each of the following flavors: Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Mango, Mint, Blueberry Green, Oriental Treasure Green, Pomegranate Green and Chamomile Herbal Tea.
• Imported.
• One-year warranty.

Here are some pictures of my Lovely Tea Chest.

I have only tried two of the teas and so far so good. They are quite decent and the chest brings a good selection of teas.

Here is the link to the Bed Bath and Beyond Website just in case you want to buy it. You can also check your local BBB store, that's where I got mine. And of course, YOU CAN USE YOUR BBB COUPON ON TOP OF THAT. (YAY)

Healthy Smoothie! 

I <3 Smoothies!!!! Especially when they are delicious and healthy.... Check out one of my favorite smoothies for this week.....

So, I was in the mood for something super delicious but at the same time I wanted a drink that was rich in nutritional value, so I came up with the following recipe...... And do not let the green fool you because it taste great....

Here are the ingredients:

2 Table spoons of Natural Yogurt (Non Flavor)

2 Kale leaves

A handful of frozen Strawberries

A handful of Spinach  

Soy or Almond Milk

(To your taste, it depends how runny or thick you want the smoothie to be)

Chia Seeds

(Already soaked in milk or water)

How to:

Put all the ingredients in your blender and blend.

Is that simple.........

Things you might want to know:

·         If you want a sweet flavor you can try using sweet almond milk. It will make your drink have a sweet taste, however it taste great with soy or non sweet almond milk.

·         Make sure you let the Chia Seeds soak for at least 15 Mins. Before making your smoothie or you can just put a table spoon of the seeds without soaking... (I like to soak them) but that's just me...

·         Make sure to wash your veggies and fruits....

·         If you do not have frozen strawberries make sure that you at some ice to your smoothie, for a cold and refreshing drink.

If anybody wants to give it a try, post your pic, or comment if you like it or not....

Thanks for reading. <3

DIY Face Mask

Chocolate Coffee Face.........

It smells and feels super good, plus it makes your skin look so much better........

I saw this recipe online..... And I decided to give it a try and I love it........

Ingredients:

One table spoon of unsweetened Cocoa Power 

This is the one I used....
Is about $3.99. It depends where you get it.
But you can use any cocoa power that you have.

One table spoon of ground espresso

One table spoon of Honey  

One table spoon of plain Yogurt

The actual recipe says 4 table spoons but if you’re only making it for yourself one table spoon is more than fine...Otherwise you would have some leftover.... Also you can use milk instead of yogurt.

Preparation:

Mix all your ingredients until you make a thick paste or you can at a little bit more milk or yogurt if you don't want it 2 thick. 

Apply the mask on your pretty clean face and neck.
Let dry.....

Last but not least.....

 Rinse with warm water. If you have sensitive skin, you should avoid rubbing your face because the coffee grounds could potentially scratch your skin.
