Smile Like You Mean It

Hey guys!

Today we are going to listen to “Smile Like You Mean It” by The Killers. The re-uploaded the video they did 13 years ago and it was such a wonderful surprise and it just made me actually smile. It’s a fan favorite and anyone listening to this song can find a different meaning. For me is putting a brave face when you hit hard times and continuing life; fake it till you make it comes to mind. It’s definitely a good song to start the day with.  

And now for the tea, I’m going to choose another green tea. It’s called Elfentau and it’s a wonderful blend of: green tea, like I said before, sunflower petals, cornflowers, rose petals, mango and bergamot. It has a delightful aroma of both flowers and fruits. And if I’m correct, the last time I wrote about it a said: “it’s perfect for any occasion, especially when you want to impress”, so drink it with confidence, it won’t disappoint.

Don't You Feel It

Hey guys!

Right now I’m in the mood for something fruity and I think that the Elephant Blend tea might do the trick. This is a perfect combination of: rooibos tea, banana flakes, coconut, mango pieces, pineapple flakes, papaya and orange slices. It’s an exotic combination, creamy and sweet that will help you brighten you day.

As for the song, I’m choosing the drum and bass powerhouse Sub Focus new pop, club base track “Don’t You Feel It” featuring ALMA.  This is quite the infectious tune, it has a lot of hooks and it somehow showcases Sub Focus ability to conquer any kind of genre. Plus ALMA’s voice is just the right amount of soft and powerful and it brings this song to a full circle. That’s about it for today…

Love Is A Bitch

Hello!

So today I am listening to “Love Is A Bitch” by Two Feet an indie, jazz even blues artist. This is a song that you can listen to when you are alone and just enjoy the beat and life with the amazing lyrics. The raspy voice and the instrumental break just make this tune even better. Plus “Your mama says I'm a fool/ And yeah, maybe that's true 'cause I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you” and then when the instrumental break comes is my favorite part.

And for the tea, I’m going to choose a fruit one perfect for this summer days and with a little bit of ice might be the greatest beverage you can enjoy. It’s called Mandarin Mimosa and it’s a blend made of: apple pieces, lemongrass, mandarin, mango, marigold petals, orange peels, papaya pieces, pineapple piece and strawberry (if you like this kind of berries).

Teenage Fantasy

Hello!

I was thinking that today me might enjoy something refreshing and smooth, something that will give you a surge of flavors. Because of that my choice is going to be Beach Bellini Herbal Tea. It’s composed by a sweet and tropical wave of ingredients, like: apple pieces, pineapple pieces, papaya pieces, mango pieces, tangerine slices, apple slices, physalis, rose buds and petals. With just a little ice it tastes like a splash of summer sunshine and if you add a little Champagne like the classic cocktail from which is inspired you will have a celebration of bubbles.

And for the song, I’m picking “Teenage Fantasy” by the UK’s songwriter Jorja Smith. It’s a laid back track, filled with jazz and R&B influences that are wrapped in with a nice bow by her powerful and soulful voice. The track is about questioning a romantic choice: “I was told by my mother,/ If I look into the future,/ Do I really see this boy,/ That I think I’ve fallen for?". Plus apparently she wrote this song when she was 16 (now she 20) and the track features humming recorded while Smith was babysitting at that age.

Run

Hey guys!

Guess what? Today we are going to enjoy Foo Fighters new song “Run”. It’s a little heavier than their usual track but I’ve got to say I really love it. Its starts slow and with the hook line which I adore “we run” playing on repeat. The drums and guitars follow surly after and turn this tune into something full of energy. This a nice to hear those melodic parts after thrashing and some amplified tortured soloing. I’m definitely gonna listen to this song some more, one day on repeat isn’t enough.

As for the tea, I’m choosing something that will give you energy, improve your memory and enhances physical endurance and those are the benefits from just one ingredient. The tea is called MangOrange Maté and it’s a delicious, lightly sweetened and delicately flavored. It contains: Yerba maté, orange peel, stevia leaf, orange & mango bits. What else could you wish for in a tea :D

All In You

Hey you!

This morning I woke up with a craving for a green tea, and I think I have the perfect blend in mind for all you to enjoy. It’s called the Elfentau tea and it’s a blend of: green tea, sunflower petals, cornflowers, rose petals, mango and bergamot. It has a taste and aroma to die for. It’s not too sweet and it’s perfect for any occasion, especially when you want to impress.

Now for the tune my choice is “All In You” by the English indie-pop band Bare Traps. This band and song isn’t too well-known but there is something about this track that I really enjoy. The track has a spring morning vibe to it, it’s energetic, has a frenetic pace and the most important it’s catch. Plus the lyrics are really cute, especially with “I found it all in you” and “You will always be mine” those really do the trick for me.

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

Break My Heart

Hey guys!

I’m thinking that today we should drink something fruity, something with no caffeine but something that will make us feel better. So I’ve looked thru my collection of teas and I found the perfect one. It’s called the Dragonfruit Devotion, and it’s a blend of:  apple pieces, mango pieces, hibiscus, lemongrass, dragonfruit pieces, rose petals, orange peels & orange flower blossoms. It’s sweet with a lot of fragrance.

For our second part I’m show you, if you haven’t heard it, “Break My Heart” by Hey Violet, a pop-rock band from LA. Ever since I’ve found this song it’s been on repeat and I’m still not sick of it. It makes me dance, the melody gives me a good mood and it’s easy to sing.  It’s just a catchy track that will get stuck in your head.

Worst In Me

Hey guys!

Today I’m drinking a red tea, something that most everyone might find interesting. It’s called Mango Grapefruit and it’s a blend of: green rooibos, carrot flakes, cat's claw flowers, lemongrass, blue marshmallow flowers, lapacho, mango and grapefruit. It has a lot of ingredients and that will make the taste richer. You can drink it with a little honey and milk.

Now for the song my choose is “Worst In Me” by Unlike Pluto. This song is a combination of indie rock, EDM, dance and a little bit of raping. And to tell you the truth this is a very welcomed addition to my playlist. It’s dynamic and has a certain allure to it, catchy lyrics and the beats, guitars, drops and drums is amazing. Plus Pluto’s vocal brings everything together with a beautiful delivery.

Soldier

Hey guys!

So today I read an article about what kind of tea you should drink and at what hours.  It said that you should start the day with a white tea, early in the morning, then at 11 pm you should drink a green tea. In the afternoon at 5 of chorus, a black tea, and right when you get ready to sleep an oolong tea. It’s a nice concept, I don’t think I could do that, I need my caffeine early in the morning, but it’s a good thing to know, maybe some of you might find it useful.  And now since its closer to 11am than early in the morning let’s try a green tea. The Sencha Fantasia, a green tea with marigold flower, thistle, cornflowers, pineapple chunks, naranguilla, mango. It’s a wonderful tea full of favors and it’s just got a mesmerizing smell. It will make you wish for more every time you drink it.

As for the song, I’ve found a track that goes perfectly with our tea. It’s called “Soldier” by Fleurie an indie artist with a brilliant voice that transports you all thru the melody. I’m not sure what to tell you about it; it’s just one of those songs that I fell in love with from the first listen. It gives me a good mood and makes me enjoy my life.

Livewire

Hey you!

Feels like a good day, right? And because of that I’m choosing a song that is slow, mellow and has a beautiful melody full of harmonies that just go together. I’m talking about “Livewire” by Oh Wonder, an indie band from London. This track has a minimal piano playing from beginning to end, light vocals and a delicate atmosphere that seem to balance the melody and not overpower the lyrics. Give it a try. You might fall in love all over again just by listening to this song and thinking about your special someone. I did :D

Because this song is so powerful but gentle, I think that we should pair it with something that will give you a calm and relaxing mood. How about a Passion Flower tea? It’s a mix of: white tea, passion flower, mango, honey bush, blackberry leaf, and lemon. It’s a vibrant, mood boosting tea full of aromas.

Speeding Cars

Hello!

Today I was feeling the need for some green tea but I wasn’t sure what should I try, so I choose something I knew I would always like, something with cherries. I’m talking about Sakura Allure Green tea. It’s a blend of: green tea, hibiscus, cherries, mango pieces, pineapple pieces, rose petals, lemon peels, rosebuds, cranberry pieces. It has a fruit taste, a little light than I like but still does a good job making me enjoy everything that is good in this tea and in life.

Today's song, let's see... I think I’ve listen to it before because the chorus seams familiar. Maybe because it’s really easy: “We're singing/ Heya heya heya heya/ Heya, heya heya”. I’m talking about “Speeding Cars” by Walking On Cars which is an rock, indie rock band from Ireland. This track starts with a piano intro that slowly graduates to the lyrics. After that you’ll hear the drums and guitars that will turn this song into something even better. Plus the husky voice of Patrick Sheehy will make this a song to remember.

Work Shoes

Hey guys!

Here comes Friday, another few hours of work and we can relax and have great weekend.  Since we still have to work for a little while today let’s make the best of it, let’s drink some tea and try a new song. For the tea I’m thinking of a rooibos one so will give you a bit of energy for the rest of the day. A Gingersnap Cookie tea; it’s a blend of rooibos, pineapple, papaya bits, mango bits, almond bits & ginger of course.  Fruity, nutty and stimulating, what more do we need?

Now the song; it comes from the band Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker or USS for short, an alternative, electronic group from Canada. It’s called “Work Shoes” and it’s about waiting to finish the day at work so you can “kick off” the “work shoes”. This might become an addiction like it did for me, with those drums kicking, beats dropping and those vocals blending them all together. Give it a listen; you might not realize when you hit that replay button, like I’m doing right now.

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

Hallelujah

Hey guys!

Today I was searching for some new music to talk about and I kinda failed. Just because it’s an old song how got a cover that sends chills down my spine from the firs second they start singing. I’m talking about Pentatonix’s version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”. It’s not a sad song, or a depressing track, it’s just an amazing, atmospheric and calming tune full of great vocals from this a cappella group. Give it a try it might live you speechless.

For the tea I’m choosing one not just by name but for all the ingredients that are in it. A Divine Temple tea, which is a mix of: white tea, green tea (Darjeeling, sencha and gunpowder), Jasmine, mango bits, pineapple bits, papaya bits, orange peels, strawberry bits, red currants, sour cherry bits, apricot bits & sugar. It has a lot of flavors in it, will give you a boost of energy and a clear mind. It taste heavenly and it will pair nice with the song.

Talk Too Much

Hey!

I’m in a good mood today and I’m going to try to share this state of mind. So let’s listen to “Talk Too Much” by Coin, an indie-pop band from Nashville. This track has a pretty great feel to it, happy and energetic and it’s exactly what I needed today. Has a very cute chorus that says: “You know I talk too much/ Honey, come put your lips on mine/ And shut me up”. How hasn’t tried that once or twice?

A Red Mango Strawberry tea seems like the perfect combination for me. A mix of: rooibos, mango cubes, strawberries, lemongrass and marigold flowers.  It has a sweet taste and a perfect red-ish color. It’s fruity and will keep that energy the song it’s going to give you.

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

Kids

“I refuse to look back thinking days were better/ Just because they're younger days” that is what Ryan in One Republic’s new single, “Kids”, sings. This song has a great blend of electronic, rock elements and some really awesome vocals that make this the REAL lead single from the band’s fourth studio album. This track gives me a good mood and I wanted to share that with you, sooo…enjoy!

Because this song gives me such a wonderful mood, I’m going to choose one of the most perfect blends that I know, with a lot of flavors that will make you feel heavenly :D I’m talking about Youthberry White tea, a combination of: white tea, mango pieces, pineapple pieces, rose hip peels, apple slices, hibiscus, red currants, rose petals, açaí fruit. Yum-my!

Rabbit Hole

Hello!

Remember Blink 182? Guess what I found? A new track of theirs that I just love. It’s called “Rabbit Hole” and it talks about not listening to your brain sometimes. A pretty great advice if you ask me. This song had me at the first lyric “Dear head, shut up”. I need that from time to time… head just shut up! I know I haven’t done my job today, but I don’t wanna hear about it :P Let’s see… I don’t have anything else to say about this since it stills sounds so much like the Blink 182 we all know and love.

This song put me in a mood for mango, I don’t know why. But I will give in and I’m going to choose Organic Mango tea– a blend of black tea and mango, that’s it. But it has a lot of benefits, like for your blood, skin health, immune system and, of course, it’s the perfect energizer. Plus, since is so hot outside, you can always turn it into an iced tea.

Let’s Go

Guys, have you heard about Stuck in the Sound, the French, indie rock band? They have a song that I enjoy very much,that’s called „Let’s Go”. It has an infectious riff and it’s obviously a good track. The lyrics and the video seem to be talking about chasing your dreams but not letting them consume you. “In the sun I bathe, in everyday light/You draft me down for a split second tomorrow/What am I supposed to do?” You just have to pick yourself up and then just go.

The tea should be something that you would like to enjoy every day, something like Sundew – a blend of green tea, mango, apricot with sunflower & red rose blossoms and cornflowers. This tea gives you everything you would ever need: good taste, health benefits and energy to get thru the day. Also, it makes for a lovely iced tea.

Encoder

Hey, guys!

Last night I was in a taxi and this song was playing and it reminded me of my teenage years. I used to listen to this band a lot. I’m talking about Pendulum, a drum & bass band from Australia. And the song I’m referring to is „Encoder”. This is quite the track for me, now that I’m listening to it again, not only the beat but also the lyrics, like „For everything that could have been, Well at least we took the ride”, make perfect sense when something is about to end, don’t you think?

As for the tea, I believe that something tropical will go nicely with this song... something that stirs in you the feeling of wanting more when things are on the brink of ending, something like Passion Tango Tea. This is a blend of mango, papaya, hibiscus, lemongrass, apple & cinnamon. It’s a harmonious pairing of tropical taste that bathes you in pure bliss. And because of all its ingredients, it has many benefits for your health as well. Add some ice and turn it into an iced tea, trust me!

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