Remains of the Day

Happy Halloween!

Today is the most spooky and fun day of all year, at least for the ones that have this holiday. And because of that we are celebrating to, with a song from Tim Butron’s “Corpse Bride”  - “Remains of the Day”. The song was composed and sang by Danny Elfman, an American composer, singer and songwriter best known for his work scoring films and TV shows. And my love for this tune comes from the up-beat and happy rhythm and pulse, plus the cheerful way to sing about death. I love it :D

And for the tea, I’m choosing something that fits with the mood, a Spiced Pumpkin Chai. This is a black tea with rooibos and rose hips, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice, cardamom, cloves and last but not least pumpkin spice extracts. It will warm you up and the aroma of rich spices will fill the room while your taste buds will dance. Plus it’s the perfect fall blend and you will absolutely love it.

Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.

Hot Damn

Hey guys!

Today’s track is something that I’ve known for some time but only recently started to like it. I’m talking about “Hot Damn” by Ivy Levan. It’s a pop, seductive, old soul song with a great beat and a vintage sound. The vocals are amazing, her range incredible and there is a lot of swagger in her voice. It’s edgy and mature at the same time, which is difficult to achieve; it’s great to listen to and you should give it a try.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something from Teavana. Something like Pumpkin Spice Brûlée Oolong Tea which is a combination of: cinnamon, white chocolate pieces, pumpkin pieces, chocolate, carob pieces, oolong tea, ginger, chicory root, pumpkin seeds, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, coconut blossom sugar. It’s sweet, has a pumpkin aroma that fits right in with the season, full of spices and it will replenish your stamina. That’s it for today.

Dusk Till Dawn

Hey you!

Today we are feeling a little emotional and in remembering of my first song and tea posted I’m going to share with you Zayn new single featuring Sia “Dusk Till Dawn”, and it’s one of the most perfect love songs, and combination of voices. It’s about two lovers trying to do everything and willing to do everything to be together with incredible instrumental and dramatic choruses that make you feel the passion between these artists. I especially like the part when Sia is firs introduce, she doesn’t steal the show, just highlight what’s great about this song.

And for the tea, I’m going to choose a lavender tea, I feel like that feels perfectly with this tune. Something like a Sweet Lavender which is a combination of: ginger, orange peel, all-spice, lavender, licorice root, lemon balm, red rosebuds and petals and a tiny pinch of stevia leaf. Lightly sweeten and fresh from the gardens, it’s a relaxing, refreshing beverage with a just a little pinch from the spices, it’s perfect on any occasions and it will leave you wanting more. That’s it for today, hope you enjoy my choices…

Better Days

Hey guys!

Sorry for not posting yesterday but today since I have no excuse I’m going to dive right in. We’ll start with the song, one from the rock, alternative, punk Canadian band Hedley. The track is called “Better Days” and it doesn’t sound nothing like what thee usually sing, it’s more a pop, electric song, one you would here on the radio, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I really like this tune and whenever a band or an artist changes their music to fit the new standard, it’s quite amazing, the transformation is good. This track gives you a good vibe; it’s about looking to the future and realizing that something better has yet to come. And my favorite part and lyrics of this song is: “I don't wanna waste a minute/ But if I gotta waste a minute/ I'd spend the time tryna' get my vibe on track”. That feels exactly like something I would do.

And for the tea, I have the perfect one; it’s sweet, spicy and full of flavors. It’s called Mellow Mountain and it’s an herbal blend design to give you a state of calm, relaxation and if you wanna it will put you to sleep. It’s a faultless combination of: ginger, rose-hip, fennel seed, all-spice, lavender, chamomile and licorice root. And let’s not forget, it’s perfect for sore throat, headaches and it’s a good help in the allergy season. That’s it for today…

Vampire

Good Day! Or at least that’s how it feels to me.

Today we are going to have a weird track in our mist. It’s called “Vampire” and it’s by Nitemayor, they used to be called Lazyboy Empire. It’s an anthem for this creature apparently, with a sax filled vibe, and some clever lyrics. This song keeps me in a good mood and sometimes it even makes me wanna dance. “This is how it starts/ Little bit of wine” and “Well tonight I want to live forever/ Baby I can take you there with me” make everything come together. For me, maybe you’ll find something else to cling on to.

As for the tea, I think that a black tea might make everything even better. How about Black is the new Black tea? It’s a blend of black tea (English breakfast and Assam), elderberries, all-spice and licorice root. This will give you energy and it’s and it’s an absolutely delight to drink it, especially when you feel the lovely aroma of elderberries.

Beat Of My Drums

Hey guys!

It’s kinda cold outside so let’s listen to something that will get us amped for today. My pick is “Beat Of My Drum” by Powers, an alternative rock, electronic duo. This is a good song to start the day with; the beat and rhythm get you moving. The chorus is catchy and the vocals will remind you of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, they seem to have the same vocal range. Give it a try, you might find yourself “Making moves, to the beat of my, beat of my drum” ;)

Right now I’m drinking a chai tea, it’s called Sugar & Spice. It’s rich and spicy with hints of orange and brown sugar. This blend is made from: black tea, rooibos, orange peel, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice, cardamom, elderberries, peppercorn, licorice root, brown sugar, vanilla & orange extract. It will worm you up and get you enough energy for a great day.
