tea obsession


Those of you who know me know I should probably be a member of Starbucks Anonymous. They say the first step is to admit that you have a problem. So, in an effort to avoid consuming their yummy beverages too often while I'm on my hiatus from work, I've re-kindled my love affair with tea. Not only does it increase my daily water intake but it's also a far cry from the amount of calories I consume in those lattes. My current favorites are...
TEAVANA
A blend of their White Ayurvedic Chai Tea and their Samurai Chai Mate Tea
Smells absolutely heavenly and has a spicy but subtle bite

ALLEGRO
Pomegranate Green Organic Tea
So smooth and super yummy with a touch of milk

THE REPUBLIC OF TEA
Cardamon Cinnamon Tea
An old favorite and perfect with honey

TAZO
Passion Tea
Super fruity and best over ice

Yum. What are some of your favorites?

    I love tea too!! Yay! :) Loose leaf is by far my favorite and Teavana has some great ones. I actually like most Teavana teas so I can't pick a favorite. Another good one I love is from the Republic of Tea flavor Ginger Peach. It is devine!

    I totally buy the Tazo Passion Tea in bulk to solely because it's something that is from Starbucks and I can trick my Starbucks addicted body into thinking it's getting a treat from there.

    I also have a tea obsession. I just love tea, especially teavana ayurvedic chai tea. This tea is also recommended by detoxteawizard.com, they say, this tea gives a feeling of freshness.

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
