 Can I tell you a secret?  I know almost nothing about tea.  Nothing.  I like the tea my mom drinks, bags with black tea with orange something-or-other.  In my house this is a shamefull secret.  My husband, George, is from Kenya which is the third largest tea producer in the world.  He knows his tea.   He says that a real tea drinker uses loose tea, not tea bags.  Oh, and with milk.  Ick. 

The problem with loose tea?  You can only brew it at home.  Too many parts needed to take it on the go or make a cup at work, right? 

The LibreTea Original Tea Glass solves those problems!!

By now, you’ve probably discovered the wonderful taste and variety of loose leaf tea and tea’s health benefits. Are you also aware that loose leaf tea has a smaller eco-footprint than tea bags, because of its bulk packaging? And, of course, loose leaf is economical – significantly less than whole leaf tea bags. Enjoy the benefits of loose leaf tea anytime, anywhere, with your Libre tea glass! Take along your favourite loose leaf tea, and simply add hot water for easy, great tasting loose leaf tea all day long. Now you can have loose tea on the go, at work, or anywhere else! 

The LibreTea Glass'n Poly Original is really pretty and modern looking.  It is very well made with a really modern streamlined style. 

Each Libre glass ’n poly Original has a health-conscious glass interior for fresh taste and a durable polycarbonate exterior for ‘on the go’ durability. The stainless steel tea filter is surrounded by BPA free polypropylene as is the lid interior. Can be used 2 ways to brew and travel with loose leaf tea - 'how to' video here.

The directions are almost deceptively simple (found here).  But you have to be really careful that you follow the directions on the video really carefully or you could have leaks or get scalded.  The Care and Use page really helps too!

So if you are a tea drinker, and a real one (not a faker like me!),then you will LOVE the Glass'n Poly Original Tea Glass!  You can take your favorite loose tea on the go!

Flower Friday - Dose 2

Welcome to the second Flower Friday! I hope you enjoyed last weeks post and continue to come back each and every week to see the new flowers blooming in my garden! This weather has been beautiful this past week, so lots of flowers are coming up. Without further ado, here are this week's beauties!

I posted the one flower that bloomed off this plant last week and had no idea what it was called. Thanks to one of our lovely Facebook fans, I found out it is a Spiderwort.

Here's a beautiful Columbine that I got on clearance at Home Depot a couple of weeks ago. It was starting to die off and I just knew I could revive it!

This little beauty is an 'Arizona Apricot' Blanket Flower Gaillardia. I had one similar one year at the old house and never did figure out what it was called. It got really tall and was just breathtaking. This one only gets about 10-12 inches high.

My normal attire.

I am, always have been and probably always will be a girly girl. I love to dress up and glam it up. I used to love wearing dresses and skirts, they just make me feel extra girly. However, I just haven't been brave enough to wear a dress since being in my wheelchair. I just wasn't sure I could pull it off. To complicate matters further, I am a plus size now and shopping for anything I feel I should try on needs the strategic coordination of a Special Forces operation. So, after a couple of these failed shopping excursions he and I decided I really rock a pair of yoga pants and a T-shirt. But there are lots of occasions I want to dress up for. Enter Fashion to Figure.

"FTF's mission is to make people's lives better through the ultimate full-fashion shopping experience. FTF provides a trendy full-fashion shopping experience focused exclusively on women sizes 12-26."

Their selection is great, they have an excellent size guide which takes out the guesswork and prices are beyond reasonable. They have everything from Tops and Bottoms to Accessories and Shapewear, and everything in between. What made them really stand out to me is you can call their toll free number and a stylist will shop with you, assisting you for you size, shape and preference and they have a really great return policy.

Me all glammed up in my pretty dress.

I knew immediately I wanted to get a dress, me and the Hubby are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary next month and I really want to look good - and girly. The decision I faced here was extremely difficult, but finally I chose the Wish Upon a Frock Cap-Sleeve Dress and crossed my fingers cause it is a shorter dress. It got here within a few days and with me sitting hits me right around my knees, which I am very comfortable with. It drapes nicely and looks great. and I've already gotten compliments on it! So, now I know I can pull off a dress and where to look for one!

Beautiful Wedding Skin Starts with Softsoap Vineyard Escape

There are so many things for me to think about for my special day that I have just overlooked some of the small stuff. I've forgotten about things such as what kind of body wash I'll use in the shower, what perfume I'll wear and probably a bunch of other things! Lucky for me, I had the chance to try a new body wash that I absolutely love!

Softsoap has been one of my go to brands for body wash since I lived in my very first apartment and had to start buying these kind of things by myself. My ex-roomate actually introduced me to it right after I got my belly button pierced and needed to wash with antibacterial soap. I've loved the brand and have kept going back ever since!

When I heard about new Softsoap Vineyard Escape, I just knew that I had to try it. It features crushed fruit seeds that gently exfoliate and grape seed oil which is known for its moisturizing qualities. When my bottle arrived, I opened it up to an invigorating smell that wowed my senses. From the very first time that I used it, I was hooked. It smells divine and makes my skin feel silky smooth. My skin is naturally dry and even worse now because we have well water, so a body wash that hydrates my skin is absolutely essential. I'm happy to say that  Softsoap Vineyard Escape did the trick in every way. I'll continue to use and have glowing, beautiful skin on my wedding day!
