Candy Cane Lane

Hey!

Here in Romania finally started to snow and it gave me a holiday mood and because of that I’m listening to Sia’s new track “Candy Cane Lane” from her Christmas album “Everyday Is Christmas”. I liked this song from the start, it’s new, it’s not just another cover of an old carol, it’s happy and Sia’s voice makes this track somehow more of cheer. It’s a pop tune stuffed full of sleigh bells and saxophones that give it extra magical powers. My favorite part is when she sings: “we'll eat all the candy canes”, it just makes me happy.

As for the I’m choosing Gingerbread Latté which is a blend made form rooibos with ginger, cinnamon, currants, pineapple bits, and safflowers. It contains no caffeine but it will still bring you a boost in energy and especially when it comes to you mood. It’s definitely a holiday blend meant to be enjoyed on a snow day, in a warm place with a blanked around.

Oh Love

Hey guys!

Today’s tune comes from the band MisterWives, an indie, pop, alternative band from New York, and their song “Oh Love”.  It has great vocals and rhythms that will make you wanna move.  The video is a bit too political for me, but the animation is quite good. And I especially like these lyrics: “Lifted the veil, we’re all sinners/ Crowned the devil a winner” it just feel interesting and somehow amusing to me.

And for the tea, I’m choosing a green tea something that’s refreshing, light and also carries a punch for a bit of energy. It’s called Cranberry & Forestfruit and it’s a blend of: green tea, cranberries, safflower, rose petals, and natural aroma. It’s simple with a great taste, a beautiful smell and countless benefits for your health.

Cavalry

‘ello!

How are you guys doing today? I’m pretty good, woke up in a good mood, with the sun on my face and with a feeling that today is going to be great. And because of that today’s choice is “Cavalry” by Novo Amor & Ed Tulett; I’ve enjoyed this song from the first time I’ve listen to it. It’s soft and easy to listen, it’s not exactly sad but it can certainly make you feel a lot of emotions going thru all the changes in the song. It’s a mesmerizing track and I highly encourage you to give it a listen and letting it take you on its journeys.

As for the tea I think a green tea, which will give you a little energy, help you focuses might be the perfect combination for this amazing track. I’m thinking Tropical Green, a blend made from: green tea, chamomile, carob, calendula flower and safflower. It’s refreshing, and it has a taste to die for, fruity and flowery. I highly recommend it with some ice too, and maybe some lemon slices.

Brave

Hey you!

Today I woke up in a really great mood, feeling loved and extremely happy about the relationships I’ve formed over the years, with my family, my friends and of course that special someone. And because of that I’m sharing with you a song that is always in my heart and it means a lot ever since one of my sisters send it to me. It’s called “Brave” and it’s by Sara Bareilles. It’s an upbeat track that has amazing lyrics that almost always resonates with me. It’s about being brave and we all need to be when it comes to our lives, in any kind of situation.

As for the tea, I’m going to choose an infusion called Love Paradise. It’s a simple blend composed of rooibos, arabic coffee, cinnamon, orange peel, saffron petals. It will give you energy with a sweet and aromatic taste. It’s delicious no matter if you serve it hot or with some ice. Perfect for mornings or late afternoons and for those that enjoy coffee this it’s going to make a new, great edition for that mix.

Expressions

Hey you!

I know that for some of you is time to study, I have a friend that finds herself in the same predicament, and I thought I might try to help somehow. So today we are drinking a tea that helps you focus and it gives you energy, it help you charge your mind and body. I’m naming it No Jitters Energy Tea, because after you drink this tea you won’t have does crashes associated with caffeine. This blend contains: black tea, Yerbe Mate, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cacao nibs, cocoa powder, honey bush, chili flakes and safflower.

As for the song I’m choosing something slow and relaxing so you can concentrate more on other matter. The track is called “Expressions” and it’s by Helen Jane Long a British composer, musician and pianist. It’s a simple and almost repetitive sound but it somehow manages to capture a lot of emotions, feelings and moods into this melody and gives you a sense of comfort and that makes it a great song. Hope you can appreciate as it is or the very least as a relaxing background music.

Belong

Hey you!

So today I’m listening to “Belong” by Roosevelt, an indie, electronic artist based in Germany. To tell you the truth I didn’t like this song as much as I do now but I kept on hearing this track on Eclectic Fm and at some point one if my favorite people in the world was really into it and now that a few days have passes I really like it too. It’s has dynamic melody that makes me think of a summer night, or a walk through a city with all those lights shining down on you.

As for the tea I’m choosing a chai tea, one that has a lot of flavors and aromas. It’s called Chai Indienne and it’s a blend made of: black tea, cinnamon, ginger bits, cloves, cardamom, black pepper, rose petals, safflowers & vanilla if it’s to your liking. It will give you an boost in energy, help ypu immune system and it can even help you skin.

South

Hello!

Today even thou I woke up, did my morning routine and started working I still feel a little sleepy so I decided to drink some green tea, something with fruits and a tea that will make me enjoy today even more. This tea is a blend of: green tea, Honeybush, raspberries, safflower, corn flowers, grapes and its called Royal tea.

As for the song I am going to choose “South” by Hippo Campus, an indie, pop band from Minnesota. This track has a summery vibe; it’s easy, cheerful and infections. I’ve been listening to it since I woke up. It has this repetition to it that just makes you remember the lyrics that are trying to speak about growing up, acknowledging what it is and still take your own path, in this case “down South”.

I Am A Nightmare

Today is another one of those days when I’m not quite sad, but not happy either. It’s somehow the perfect balance of both, so I’m drinking some EterniTEA Green (clever name hmm). That’s a mix of green tea, rosemary, sage, rose petals and safflowers, with a lemon twist. This tea will help you live life at your full potential or at least that’s what you will feel because of those many flavors.

The song: “I Am A Nightmare” by Brand New, an alternative rock band from New York. I found this one today and it’s been on repeat ever since. The guitar & the drums bury the vocals that are repeating “I am a nightmare and you are a miracle”, but my favorite part is the one that says “Please don’t replace me/ I surrender, embrace me”. It makes a lot of sense to me.

Time (Post-Rock)

I’ve been obsessed with this song for a couple of weeks now and I thought I should share it with you. “Time (Post-Rock)” by Kitchen, a band from Switzerland. This is an amazing track that’s chill and slow in the beginning and afterwards, it becomes heavier and harder to resist it. I’ve enjoyed this song so much, I hope you guys at least like it.

For me this song is quite calming and I think it will pear up good with a green tea. Something in the line of Royal tea because it’s a blend of green tea, Honey bush, raspberries, safflower, cornflowers & grapes. It’s a bit energizing thanks to the caffeine in the green tea, but nothing too much,so it won’t keep you awake if you’re drinking it at night.

Rosie

I was in a funny mood today and this song pulled me out of it: „Rosie” by The Kooks. It’s a catchy tune, it has an excellent rhythm and quite a Beatles vibe. It’s an emotional song with a satisfying beat, plus the name does a lot more for me other than just making me feel good. The lyrics are perfect: „Lust will do funny things / I don't want you to go out looking so good” (somebody’s getting jealous) „But you're a big girl and I think you already know / You've been bought and sold”. I definitely like this song.

I don’t think I know a tea that goes with this kind of lust. I'm kidding :P Let’s see…how about Chai Indienne? It’s a mix of black tea, cinnamon, ginger bits, cloves, cardamom, black pepper, rose petals, vanilla bits (if you like vanilla) & safflowers. It's an energizing tea, with a little bit of spice to put you in the mood to try the motion of the ocean. Plus,it has other health benefits like: improves your immune system, boosts your brain activity, helps your skin health & it’s a good way to fight bacteria.
