Dandy Puppeteer Order Opening!

Hi friends! <3

My friend from a semi-local comm started her own business and I had been interested to get something. I held off on ordering anything though because while everything was nice, they weren't really my style. When I saw a post the other day with a discount code, I thought I would check back if any more items had been added since last time. When I saw this ring in the Otherworldly Desserts line, I went for it.

Thoughts:

This ring is so cute! The plastic is thick and sturdy with a nice shine to it. I like how the layers are stacked to make it 3D. The mirrored pieces are an interesting choice; I like it. White was the only color option which is okay. I think other colors like pink would have been super cute. The metal band is thick and adjustable, but it takes a lot of force to do so. Shipping was quick and it was packaged well. I am excited to see what other items they come out with next.

January Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Continuing with the sip downs...





In January, I had a pretty mixed lot. Finished Teavana earl grey (kind of bitter), Tazo rose pink (had a weird taste), and Herbal magick chocolate covered strawberry (very light taste but not bitter). I don't think I like puerh much. Favorites were the Greenmax matcha milk and Peace tea razzleberry.


No tea or tea ware was obtained this month.

Both together!



Thoughts:

I love them! The bracelet consists of large plastic beads in a beautiful pastel rainbow with an elastic band. It is just the right size of chunk. The ring is super cute with adorable little pastel colored sprinkles. It has a nice clear coating and seems pretty durable. The ring band is metal that can be adjusted. I like that it is attached to the side of the hole, so you get the full donut effect. The prices were reasonable and shipping was very quick. Packaging was good but a layer of bubble wrap could have been added to the bracelet as it did not have as much protection as the ring. Luckily there were no scratches/scuffs. I look forward to ordering again sometime. These will go great with my sweet coords. I can't wait to wear them soon :-)

December Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Sipping down again...


In December, I finished Herbal magick pumpkin spice. Had Stash gingerbread, Harney & sons blueberry green, and Bigelow raspberry royale. Started Tazo rose pink. Wasn't in much of a tea mood, so ended up drinking more coffee. The pumpkin spice one was my favorite. It had a nice balance of pumpkin and spice (from a local shop) 😋


Only one tea was purchased this month. I happened to see it while I was out at Wal-Mart, and thought it would be interesting to try...


No tea ware was obtained this month.
