Just a small tip: if you have a weak tea, try adding less water next time! Tea is technically supposed to be just 8oz of water (and you use big mugs so you're likely more towards 10-12 or even more with some of them - like your central perk mug). This used to happen to me, also, and I had a friend say "you're using too much water!!" lol so figured I would pass on the advice. It CAN help, it's less diluted that way. So when I have a herbal/fruity tea I tend to have a small mug and do 8oz. If it's a stronger tea (black, lemon, mints, chai, etc) I'll go for bigger because I know it will come through.
Yes, the "beautiful fool" lyric is a reference to "The Great Gatsby." I love her literary references! My evermore top five are: 1. champagne problems 2. marjorie 3. willow 4. no body, no crime 5. tolerate it Narrowing this down was incredibly hard, and they will probably be in a different order tomorrow 😅
I am literally obsessed with your videos, so much so that I've been even watching like an year old videos🤦🤦. You're just awesome! Keep it up!☺️ Also..your expression when you smelled the crownie 😂😂.. precious!
I have been liking the cold infuse teas by Twinings. I think they help me to drink more waters, I just don't use them enough... :D You make me want to get a tea calendar, even tho I'm more of a coffee drinker and Christmas is almost here :"D But there is something about rose that I don't like (especially the smell of rose when it's artificial).
I wish I could have a tea advert calendar all year, it’s been so fun! And yeah rose just doesn’t seem like a smell to drink, it wasn’t an artificial smell but just didn’t smell like a drinking smell ahah
I had such a great time on the readathon. It's the first time I have really focused on reading in that way. I recieved the lemon balm tea in this months books that matter subscription box. I really liked it but I found it more apple in flavour than lemon balm. I grow lemon balm and it normally has a much stronger flavour but I would still buy that tea because it was so nice.
That crownie sounds so 😋‼️I’m almost done with Snow & Rose it’s so funny, and the pictures are beautiful‼️ As for A Breath of Snow & Ashes, I have 94 chapters and 719 pages to go in A Breath of Snow & Ashes!
Do you make your crumpets from scratch? I have made them once before and they a delicious! They are hard to find commercially in the US. Also I'm obsessed with evermore 💕
@@ciarascorner Haha so it goes. Regardless, samples are the best cause it's just one bad bag vs a whole bad box. Do you think you'll do the tea advent calendar again or try something different next year?
Merry Christmas! You should read my new gothic romance novel '40,000 Words' if you want something deep and unique to dive into. It follows Adelaide Parabellum as the arrival of poems from beyond the grave causes her to recollect how she had met an austere, quiet, stranger at a pond eight years prior. '40,000 Words' can be found by searching for '40,000 Words Nicholas Leonard' on Amazon.
