Tea Is An All The Time Appropriate Gift

Not just the times where you expect tea to be given.

I might be that old lady who loves to drink tea. Think of the last time you went out and got a box of tea bags and made the tea in hot water and just drank it? Maybe add some honey or sugar? Without being sick or fearing being sick, just drank tea?

Yeah, I didn't think you could think you would have a last time. And if you do, kudos, not many people do.

So for the mass majority of the population, hot tea is reserved for really occasions, old people and being sick, but for me, hot tea is a good drink to have to unwind, when it's cold outside, not when its hot outside but maybe for when I feel like it in my house and observing the hotness outside, or really just any occasion. Therefore, tea should be a present for my birthday (January 30th, just in case you wanted to know), a treat in a gift bag for Halloween, a thank you gift around thanksgiving and a Christmas present (only in December does Christmas present apply) (Just saying).

For the tea lovers out there, you'll understand it when I say I want loose leaf tea, not the ones in prepackaged bags. Maybe even the teas that are bundled up flowers that bloom in the hot water. There's more than just the Lipton that comes on the cute little bag. There's also the matter of the filtering cups, the ones that you put loose leaf tea in then you pour water and then filter the tea leaves out with the filter, those are good! Sometimes, people just use some ginger root as there tea.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
