Trying Something New

You'd think that being a Northerner, where all that's drunk is cups of tea, that I would live on it... But not for me. If there's hot chocolate as an option, you can surely know what I'd choose.

However, thanks to this bug I've had for several weeks now, I've been hankering for a healthy cup of tea.

So off we went to Asda and I saw these...
I had to try them. Was told to try some ginger tea to help with my throat... but I like a sweet taste.
At first I attempted them without any sugar, but once I added a small amount, it brought out the lovely fruitiness. 
I can see myself drinking these regularly! 


The look reminded me of dilute, but the taste is so much more. After just one cup, I felt better inside... I wonder what I'll feel like when I drink it more?

Does anyone else like fruit teas? If so, what's your recommendations?


I made shortbread biscuits that I found on this post of Olivia's. It was my future brother-in-laws birthday yesterday but we had a family gathering on the Sunday evening. Turns out shortbread is his favourite! Along with blueberry muffins. 


They went down a storm! And was asked to make more. Plan on doing so at some point soon, and a lot thicker and without chocolate chips! Also plan on making the Malteser's Millionaire Shortbread... without the maltesers. 

Has anyone got a speciality of their own? What do you plan on making yourself?

Bonjour!

Well, after months and months of reading other blogs, I decided to create one myself.

Not sure exactly how it's going to turn out, but we shall see!

I'm relaxing on the sofa at the moment. Meant to be going to a ghost hunt tonight but thanks to a bug I've had for several weeks, I've had to pull out. Was looking forward to it! There's always the one next month :) so I shall enjoy tonight and drink my beloved Dr Pepper out of the new mug I bought today.



Isn't it lovely? £1.99 from Card Factory. Always get chuckled at over my love for mugs. Matches the new phone cover I received yesterday! <3 I have a major thing for floral.

Went to a wedding fair today. Ended up winning a free Infrared sauna session for 2 people... the fiance loved it! Shall tell you more details about that and how the session goes as it's to be used by next month.



Bye for now!
