Tea For Two!

I don’t know where you are from or what the weather is like where you live but all I know is it is COLD here in Chicago! With the snow up to our ankles and the wind chill below 0 it is a great day to stay inside, bundled up with a warm cup of tea!

I have to admit that I am kind of obsessed with tea, all kinds, warm or cold. Although at night I love having a warm cup of tea before I go to bed. It is so soothing and warmth of the tea running down my throat heats up my whole body.

What can be better than having a cup of tea? Having it with someone else! Tea for two is so much better than having it alone. I guess I am blessed that I have gotten everyone close to me hooked on tea as well 😉 My mother-in-law-to-be gave me this tea pot for Christmas and I use it almost daily.

It is perfect for natural herb teas and is perfect if your tea to have a little steep time!

The tea sits right indie the pot for as long as you need it too while still keeping it warm.

1 teaspoon expands into a whole lot more than that!

You can also get at least 2 pots out of 1 teaspoon.

Serve and enjoy!

Are you a tea of coffee drinker? Do you take a few minutes out of your day to sit and have a cut of your favorite drink?

Thanks for following along!

My Newest Inspiration!

Have you ever had a time in your life where something inspired you? Something that made you see something you had never seen before. Or maybe look at something in a different way?

There are so many things that can give someone an inspiration. It can be a book, a picture, a song or even a color and I am excited to share with you my newest inspiration. I just can’t seem to get enough of the color purple! Everything purple catches my eye. Although, I am not noticing the light purple as much as I am the deep, rich, eggplant purple! The main thing I love about an inspiration is that it usually is something that you look at and it automatically puts a smile on your face!

When I look at a deep, rich purple color it makes me think of the darkest color of a beautiful sunset and I can almost feel the warmth of the sun at the end of summer. It immediately lifts my mood helps me to remember the little things in life.

Here are a few pictures to help you understand the richness of the color and just how beautiful it is.

Have you ever had an inspiration like that? I would love it if you shared with me what it was and what it made you think of!

Thank you so much for reading!

Cucumber Melon Infused Water

I wrote earlier this summer about lemon and mint infused water. Now I want to share with you another one of my personal favorites: Cucumber Melon. It doesn’t get much easier than infused water, it is so refreshing and easy to make. For those of you who don’t know, I am from the Chicago land area and we hit record high this summer, we had over 50 days in the 90 degree weather. If you have even been to Chicago you know that 90 degrees feels like over 100 degrees with the humidity. Need-less-to-say having a nice ice cold glass of infused water is so very refreshing.

All you need is:

1/4 Honey Due Melon – sliced

1/2 Cucumber – sliced

Stevia – to taste

Mix all the ingredients together and let sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or over night.

Add ice, serve and enjoy.

What area do you live in and have your summers been as hot as they have been here?
