I've had this tea blog for a few years now. But I've loved tea for a lot longer. I think the first time I ever had tea (that I can remember) was while working on a project in middle school. We were actually making tea to use to discolor a piece of paper and make [...]
There are fewer places that put me more at ease than the library. Walking around among all those words, all those books that have been read by many, feels like a community. But at the same time, it's also one of the quietest places to be. A great place to clear your mind — a [...]
I always enjoy spending time at the beach and in nature. But lately, it's been even more fun hiking at the Indiana Dunes, because I've taken on a new hobby — searching for sea glass. Since I'm looking from a lake, I'm not sure if the correct term is sea glass or beach glass, but [...]
I haven't really been posting a lot lately, because I've been pretty busy, and was sick for part of this month, so I want to talk about something fun I did recently! Sunday was my 25th birthday. Aka the year of the quarter life crisis. I'm not super worried though because I feel like I've [...]
We're a few weeks into 2017 and I'm taking time to reflect. I have many positive memories from 2016, and while I have a lot of goals I want to accomplish in the new year, there were many things that went well and made me happy last year. Trying new teas, and a new tea [...]

January is just so grey. The holidays are over, gone is the sparkle and the world looks kind of drab. 11 days in to 2017, I find myself wondering and find that the glow and anticipation of a new year has worn out. I try to keep myself busy by reading, and moving, but somedays [...]
Nobody likes being sick. The sniffles, the achy feelings and not being able to do what you'd normally do. But by taking care of yourself, you can make it through and feel better soon. This week, this was my life. But when I don't feel good, some things help me feel a little better. Keeping [...]
Happy new year to all! Ringing in the first few days with a major cold, but fortunately I got a lot of great gifts for Christmas that will help. This week I will put up a reflection video about the past year, but I also want to talk more about the present, and my goal [...]
I didn't post much in November, but I was really busy for most of that month, so it's time for a nice, long update on what's been going on with me! Designed a Cubs World Series Champions newspaper cover I am not the biggest sports fan, but it was pretty awesome seeing the Cubs win the [...]
