Currently Loving: Spring 2016 Edition

1. I Heart Tea Hoodie from Teaprints – It may seem odd to have a fleece sweater on a spring favourite list but I’m from Canada and we don’t really know when winter is actually supposed to end. I was impressed with the high quality of this sweater and have claimed it as my new favourite. I love being able to snuggle up in this and warm up with a cup of tea as well. It is also great for a conversation starter with other tea drinkers.

2. Chai Spice Lip Balm from HURRAW! – There may not be any actual tea in this lip balm but it definitely doesn’t disappoint when comparing it to a real cup of masala chai. Truthfully, I didn’t expect it to be so true to its name and is now my top choice from their collection. It is quite moisturizing and is blended with black pepper, cinnamon, clove, anise, and vanilla.

3. The Cup of Destiny – Special thanks to Amy of The Art of Tea and Tasseomancy for gifting me this lovely kit earlier this year. Along with the fortune telling cup and saucer, it comes with an illustrated book explaining how to use it and meanings of over 200 certain signs and symbols that may appear. Traditionally, tasseomancy requires nothing more than a plain teacup and tea, however, this a lot of fun to use and I would recommend it to anyone beginning to dabble into tea leaf reading to see what it is about.

4. Maracuja Mascara (Black Tea) from 100 Percent Pure – While I don’t usually wear make up, mascara is my go-to and finding a decent one has been a struggle. Of course I was all over this one when I found out it was 100% natural and (my favourite part) pigmented with tea.

5. 1.0L Digital Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle from Bonavita – I don’t know how I survived without this kettle before this year. With both the set proper temperature and the pour from the gooseneck, this Bonavita kettle has completely transformed my tea sessions.
