Pretty Photos: My Favorite Color, Mint

For a very long time I've been obsessed with this color.
I think it was ever since I saw the first mint nail polish that I needed to have more of it. It's for some reason very soothing to me, and along with Aqua, it's one of those colors that make me happy.
So here's some photos that will hopefully make your day a bit better                         

How great is this clock!

That ended in a YUM! didn't it?

Rimmel 60 Seconds: Bright Back At You

I will start off by saying that this color has been the hardest to photograph and will admit to tweaking it in Photoshop,because for some reason it always ended up looking baby blue,which is a far cry from the turquoise it actually is.

With that being said,this is a great summer color!
I'm all about mint nail polishes and this color is simply the more "kapow!" version of that.
Not being the biggest Rimmel nail polish user in the past,I haven't really followed their collections too closely,but on a warm afternoon last week,I saw this polish staring at me at a ridiculously low price.And one does not simply ignore ridiculously low prices.
We're human,we're easily convinced by pricing!


So I gave it a go and shortly after I had it on my nails:

60 Seconds? Pretty muchI don't usually believe polishes that tell me they dry in 1,10 or 60 seconds,because well...they don't.
But this one,even if it went a bit over 60 seconds, did dry remarkably fast.
It also lasted surprisingly long. What I was also happy about was,it didn't stain my nails! The last Rimmel I tried left me a bit blue,which isn't too awesome to deal with.

Flat brush?
I've heard complaints about the flat brush,but I actually like it. It's cut in a curve so that it pretty much goes with the curve of your cuticles when you apply it. Means less mess,and we like it,oh yes! (What a sad attempt at doing a rhyme...I'll try again tomorrow)

Like I said,it was hard to photograph because as you can see here,it got the color in the bottle right and made my nails look blue.

Will I be wearing this again?
You bet I will!

Tea Time!

Tea is good for you,we all know this by now. Some teas are amazing for you though.They have antioxidants,which are highest in concentration in white and green teas, while black tea has substantially fewer due to its oxidative preparation.Rooibos for example is naturally caffeine free and high on antioxidants,which help your body fight cell damage.

I'm an absolute tea aficionado and I figured,why not share my favorite teas with you?
Here's my current favorites:

From left to right,up to down: Good Earth Organic Earl Grey, Pickwick Chocolate Mint,Jacob Hooy  Orange Rooibos and First Tea Vanilla Honey


Let's start with the tea that I never thought I'd like this much, Pickwick Chocolate Mint. The Chocolate-Mint combo only works with After Eight chocolates in my mind,and that is what I had expected this tea to taste like. Big mistake! It tastes like smooth chocolate! Completely unexpected and delicious.

 My absolute favorite tea is Rooibos tea. Rooibos means "Red Bush" and it is the name that the plant has gotten because of it's color. It grows in southern africa and has absolutely no caffeine in it. Which means,you can drink it before bed for calming and you can drink it in the morning for energy. It's a Win-Win tea for sure! And adding orange to it...my goodness! Absolutely delicious! I drink rooibos anyway you offer it,but this has got to be the best one I have ever tasted!

Now this tea is a fascinating one. First Tea Vanilla Honey. It's a mix of white and black tea. Basically,white,green and black tea all come from the same plant that grows in China:Camellia sinensis. Its leafs are what make the tea. The difference between white and black tea is the degree of oxidation and processing.White tea comes from the buds and leaves. The leaves and buds are allowed to wither in natural sunlight before they are lightly processed to prevent oxidation or further tea processing.Black tea are leafs left to oxidize and get their specific black color.
This tea is simply yummy. Add some honey to it and you have yourself a cup of relaxation.

Good Earth Organic Earl Grey. Earl Grey usually means black teas that contain oil of bergamot as a flavoring. I'm a big Earl Grey fan and this one was a great find. Another plus,it's organic! I usually add some milk to it and it makes for the perfect coffee substitute.
You can actually find some of their organic teas in their Webshop. As I see,they're out of Earl Grey,but maybe soon again.

So that's my list for now. If you'd see my cupboard you'd be shocked as to how I managed to pick just 4 teas for this list :p
Do you have any favorites? Feel free to share.And if you're craving any of these guys and can't get your hands on them,let me know and maybe I can help
