Why Tea is Better Than Coffee
Wiki Pages

People look at me like I'm nuts when I say that I absolutely hate coffee. Personally, I think it's bitter, gross, and just unappealing. I had to find some type of way to consume caffeine, so I decided to drink tea. Little did I know that I was opening myself to a world of opportunities. Here are a few reasons why I personally think tea is superior to coffee.

1. There are SO many more flavors!

People think that the only types of teas out there are English breakfast tea and Earl gray, but there's so much more. There's chai tea, mint tea, green tea, chocolate tea, berry tea, and so much more! I have a tea that's actually a seasonal flavor from Teavana and it's called white chocolate peppermint and it's absolutely delicious.

2. It's good for you!

Coffee actually has a few negative side effects, especially when people consume it excessively. However, tea is extremely good for you and has many health benefits.

3. It's delicious!

Tea is delicious. There's not much else to say here.

4. There are a ton of health benefits.

Like I said before, tea runs back to ancient times and they were actually believed to have had many healing properties. Especially with herbal tea, it's very beneficial for your body. There are teas out there that can help you de-stress, lose weight, and give you energy when needed. Teavana actually has a whole line of wellness teas that have different benefits to them.

5. It's classy as f***.

There's nothing more classy than someone drinking a cup of tea. Enough said.

6. You don't need to add anything to it.

With flavored teas, they're already so delicious, you don't really need to add milk or sweetener. If I ever drink black or green tea, I usually just add a little bit of lemon to it and that usually does it. Besides that, I don't find the need to add any sweeteners to my tea because they're already so good to begin with.

7. It's overall just great.

There's nothing much else really to say about tea beside the fact that it's just great. It's delicious, it has many health benefits, you don't need to add anything to it, and it's overall just so much better than plain old coffee. Here's a list of my favorite teas both high-end and low-end. Enjoy!

High-end tea products:

- Teavana Samurai Chai Mate and Maharaja Chai Oolong blend

-Teavana Mulled Pomegranate Cider and Ruby Spiced Cider blend (blend is seasonal but you can always buy the two flavors separate)

-Teavana White Chocolate Peppermint (Seasonal)

-Teavana Oprah Chai

-Teavana Youthberry

Low-end tea products:

-Tazo Refresh Mint (herbal 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.
