Thoughts:

I'm glad to have the pink version of the strawberry ring. It will go nicely with my strawberry print dresses that don't have red in them. The gold wrist cuffs are beautiful. I had them on my Wishlist but didn't expect to find them. And since a lot of my coords have gold accents, this will match great.

Tea Time: Tie-dye Butterfly!

 Hi friends! <3

I got this tea recently and wanted to try it out.

$3 (on sale)- David's Tea: Tie-dye Butterfly- Germany

Such cute butterflies and hearts sprinkles inside...

Going to use this color changing steeper...

Tea is measured out and the ice cubes are ready. Just waiting for the water to finish heating up...

Steeping time...

Ready!

Thoughts:

This was really good! I didn't plan to buy this originally, but it was on sale for super cheap (maybe $3 or so). I figured it would be nice for the summertime. The tea steeps up a lovely reddish berry color. It has a slightly tropical (like pineapple) fruity taste. Although I'm not usually a fan of tropical flavors, I really liked this one. I would definitely recommend it.

May Sip Down Progress!

 Hello friends! <3

Making slow but some progress on things...

In May, I continued with grand cru matcha and totally nutty. Finished the raspberry matcha. Tried some samples from the tea mail swap group. I'm getting used to drinking iced tea again. I usually prefer it hot. Loved the cinnamon spice one. It reminded me of the heart candies <3

I went exploring in a nearby town and wandered in a few antique shops. At one place, you could rent a booth/space and sell pretty much whatever. There was a booth with various teas and spices. I chose this tea to try. I almost got a few more, but decided not to as I figured I could go back another time.

Thoughts:

I love this jsk! <3 The print has cute deer, flowers and beautiful forest scenery. It's a soft pink color that makes the print stand out just enough to be noticed. I think it could work for either a toned down sweet look or classic depending how one coords it. I'm looking forward to wearing it sometime soon. Maybe to a picnic or when visiting the botanical gardens.
