adventures in tea tasting...

I've always been one to dabble in Teas of various assortments and flavors AND last Christmas a coworker gave me the GREATEST tea set that is perfect for me to use at work. Thus, my adventures in tea tasting was solidified.

This year I have my own little cubicle/cubby space and for some reason I have been capitalizing on the pinboard walls by pinning up each bag (working on some sort of patter and I am excited to do something neat with all the packages someday)...




A coworker (former blogger) you may recall her from a previous blog post about wedding dress shopping told me about a tea called "Throat Coat".


I opened the bag... got a good wiff of the smell, and pinned the package into my collection, got my hot water (well forgot it in the microwave so had to go back down and get it), poured the water and took a sip...

Then the MAGIC...

welll not really but as I had been warned/informed the tea tastes normal BUT when you swallow it coats your through in a sugary/honey like feeling! WOW! but it doesn't taste sugarry or honeyish...

Seriously it was strange! But interesting... and the sensation stayed there for awhile too!

Feel free to send me teas to sample and Ill send back a review!

crayons!

So I started a new project....

I wanted to decorate my lampshade in my room. I used the colors orange, green and blue because my room is mostly those colors!


The crayons were hot glue gunned to the lampshade...




like the new instagram photos i took!
Then I took a hair dryer and let it do it's magic... It got a little messy... but that is never a bad thing.
One power outage later.... I had a new lamp!

And now it serves me well in my room!
