Use Me

Hey guys!

Remember Goo Goo Dolls? They have a new single out, it’s called “Use Me” and it’s a pretty great track. I’ve been listening to it all morning and I quite enjoy it. This is a slow track filled with good lyrics that talk about a love that isn’t quite right, but they enjoy it nonetheless. I especially like the drums kicking at the chorus; it seems to bring the song together.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a rooibos one called Relax. It’s a blend that you can enjoy at any hours of the day, one that will give a state of calm and let’s not forget that it can also have a lot of benefits for your body too. Plus it’s not just rooibos it also contains: blackberries leaves, pieces of orange & lemon, corn cockle flowers and sunflower petals.

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

Bloodstream

Hey you!

Today I’m going to start with the tea cause I found something new that has a sweet aroma of passion fruit mixed with the refreshing taste of green tea. The tea is called Panakeia Oolong and it’s a combination of: green tea, oolong tea, ginseng and passion fruit. It’s a pure tea, one that will give you some energy to keep up with the day and at the same time fill you with a warm embrace.

Now for the song I’m choosing a pop, electronic, indie  band called  Transviolet based in LA, and their track “Bloodstream”. It’s a seductive and hunting track filled with bursts of synth, virtuous harmonies and tempting female vocals. And the song is about being in love and knowing that that someone could completely destroy you. It’s about that reckless vulnerability you feel when you are in love. I especially like that pause after the lyric “You look my way and I lose my” is sang.

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

Everybody Gets High

Hey guys!

Today’s choice was a little hard for me… I found a band that I haven’t listened to it before and I really love 2 of their song. The band is called Missio, form Austin, Texas and they are an electronic, alternative, space rock duo. The tracks that I love are called “Everybody Gets High” and “Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea” so if you get a chance listen to them both. But I think for today's entries I’m going to go with “Everybody Gets High” cause it’s more energetic and it's hypnotizing, something about it just gets me hooked in this infections track. To tell you the truth it got me with the first lyric “Once upon a time in a land far away” it felt like something that would get you a mystical high.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a herbal tea called Feng Shui (Strawberry/Bergamot), this it’s a blend created to help you with the synchronization among humans and their surroundings. In order to create this Chi (positive, free flowing energy) they used a mixture of: apple pieces, goji berries, dragonfruit, lemongrass, blackberry leaves, nettle leaves, orange peel, eucalyptus leaves, carrot flakes, bergamot, cornflowers and marigold. You just have to add the fifth element, the water, and let the energy’s flow thru you.

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

And for those of you that wanna listen to “Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea”, here is a the link.

I'm A Wolf

Hey you!

Today we are going to listen to a song from a Belgium artist Konoba. It’s an alternative pop, electronic track featuring Ellie Ford called “I’m A Wolf”. It feels like a melancholic tune that just makes you feel all kinds of emotions and you just can’t move on … like for me it’s been on repeat for a few hours now :D. Plus it has some clever lyrics. “I’m a wolf, you're the moon/ Can you hear me sing to you” this one is my favorite.

And now for the tea, I’m choosing one mostly because of its name. It’s called Violette in Love and it’s a sweet and full of flavor beverage with lots of benefits and one that you can enjoy at any hours of the day. The blend is a combination of these ingredients: rooibos, candied violet, raspberry pieces, poppy petals.

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

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.

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

Say No More

Hey guys!

Today we have another rock, electronic even a little pop song on our entries form the Connecticut band Forget Tomorrow. The track is called “Say No More” and it’s a great way to show how different genres work and how you can blend them together. You can hear real sound through this melody, clean vocal, those piano keys playing, guitar riff and most especially (for me) the drums kicking; all together make a great song that almost everybody can appreciate.

As for the tea, my choice is going to be Flavored Raspberry Tart. It’s a green tea with pineapple 

pieces, apple cubes, raspberries, flowers of immortelles. It’s a fresh with a sweet aroma of a tart, a fantastic smell and just enough raspberries to taste good but not so much to overwhelm the green tea. And since summer is just around the corner you can add some ice and turn it into a perfect beverage for the hot weather.

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

Just Touch

Hey guys!

I found this song a few days ago and since then it’s been on repeat so I thought it’s time to share it with you. It’s an indie rock, kind of an indie pop track called “Just Touch” from the band The Hubbards. It’s something about this song that just makes me hit repeat, maybe it’s the drums kicking of that guitar riff or maybe those parts when the lead singer sings “I don't like your boyfriend/ girlfriend” it puts a smile on my face :D. Or maybe it all of those things together that make such a enjoyable song.

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something that will energize you and it will have a lot of benefits for your health, starting with you immunity and going all the way to you skin. It’s called Turmeric Gold and it’s a blend that contains: turmeric roots, pieces of ginger, cocoa shells, anise, fennel, blackberry leaves. And for those of you that like vanilla you can add some pieces and turn it into a more delicate beverage.

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

All We Stress

Hey guys!

Today we are drinking a black tea, one that will energize us and really help us enjoy life. It’s called Truffe and Ginger and it’s a fragrant combination of: black tea, pieces of ginger, cocoa shells, almonds, pink pepper. Its a little spice and also creamy, and for me is a new kind of obsession; easy to enjoy and with lots of benefits for our health.

As for the song, it’s a mash up made by a guy named Logan. He combined “Stressed Out”, “Migraine” and “The Judge” from Twenty One Pilots and “All We Know” from The Chainsmokers ft. Phoebe Ryan and I have to say he made a great track and it’s called “All We Stress”.  There is just something that I really enjoy in this combination and I had to share it with you. All the songs are really great on their own and putting them all together created something wonderful.

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

Lust for Life

Hey Guys!

Today is a special day and you have to help me wish a very important person, my sister, Happy Birthday. And like always the choice in music and tea comes from the birthday girl and this year she actually did a little of my job and wrote a little something. Here it goes:

<“Lust for Life” Lana del Ray (of course) ft. The Weekend. Red Chocolate tea. Should I justify my choices? Well… Lana de Rey is one of my favorite artists and chocolate is one of my favorite foods hihi. And I’m pretty sure there isn’t a better match in the whole Universe: lust and chocolate, or better said lust for chocolate. Both are sensual, smooth and make me think of a breezy summer night, on top of a high building, watching the city lights. You can add some silk in the picture and there you have it: a perfect moment.>

She’s a good writer I know and know there’s not much else left for me to say. “Lust for Life” it’s a great song; I even like it because of her. Plus I’ve already talked about it in a different post. As for the tea, is a special blend made just for her, and it was a Christmas present. The Red Chocolate tea contains a mix of: rooibos, dark chocolate, peppermint, fennel, cardamom and cacao. I’m glad she likes it so much that she shares it with the world.

 Happy Birthday my amazing, wonderful, awesome, great sister, you deserve the best and I hope you have it.

Kisses and Go drink (and wish my sister a Happy Birthday), I’m already drinking mine.

Beautiful Ones

Hey guys!

Today we have a track that celebrates individuality of everybody in this world. It’s an empowering song that speaks of acceptance and spreading the love and it come in the form of Hurts new single “Beautiful Ones”. The lyrics seem to give hope to anyone how doesn’t fit in the social norm with lines like “don’t be afraid, honey one day, this will fade”. Plus the video is a colorful celebration of gender fluidity and the harsh rode of hate and brutality that sometimes go hand in hand.

For the tea I’m choosing something that you can enjoy at any hour of the day and it can relax you and just make you feel better. It’s called Bird of Paradise and it’s a blend that contains: green tea, papaya flakes, orange slices, white tea & rose petals. Simple, fruity, full of aromas and with lots of benefits.

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

Calm Snow

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to share my new guilty pleasure. It’s an EHM track (electronic hardcore music) from the band I See Stars and it’s called “Calm Snow”. It has a little pop vibe to it, tough vocals and synth-driven verses that seem to play well with the catchy chorus. I was hoping for a little more guitar riffs and heavier drum kicks but either way I like this song. Mostly because it seems this track has a lot of other influences all around it and that makes it worthwhile.

As for the tea I’m choosing a rooibos tea, mostly because I’ve already drunk my morning tea. Plus this is a wonderful beverage full of aromas and it has a divine taste. It’s called Zero Toxi and it’s a combination of: rooibos, green rooibos, red vine leaves, pieces of apricot, lemon peel and cornflowers. I’m not usually a fan of apricot but in small doses and just for the aroma how can I not like it.

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

Hug Of Thunder

Hey guys!

Today seems like it’s going to be great day and because of that I’m drinking a green tea. It’s a simple one with just cornflowers added to the mix of green tea and i's called Green Leaves Blue Sky. It’s a fresh and relaxing beverage, full of antioxidants and vitamins with a wonderful aroma of cornflowers. To give it a little punch you can add some cinnamon and have a new kind of experience.

And now for the song… today I found the new single from the indie, alternative, rock Canadian group Broken Social Scene. The track I called “Hug Of Thunder” and it’s an easy to listen melody, with a slow tempo that builds up and gives you a little “thunder”. Feist takes over the vocals and delivers a heartwarming performance that for me is going to be easy to remember.

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

Hidden Beneath

Hey!

I woke up this morning in the best way possible but since then all I wanna do is sleep. And because of that today’s song in going to be something slow, easy to listen and for those of you still in school or college it’s going to be a track that you can study to. It’s called “Hidden Beneath” and it’s by Message To Bears, an post-rock, ambient band from the UK. No matter the mood you find yourself in this song can either elevate you or just relax you even more. Just with a few cords that seem to be on a repeating loop and even less drum kicks you can imagine yourself standing in a field of grass just looking at the sky.

As for the tea, I think that a red one might be the perfect pair of this comforting melody. My choice is going to be the Lemon Biscottea, a refreshing tea with a divine taste of fresh spring flowers and lemon. This is a wonderful blend of: rooibos, honey bush, lemon peel, lemon balm, lemongrass, jasmine flower, agrimony herb, marshmallow root and just a little more lemon. It’s a perfect beverage hot as well as cold for those warm days that are to come.

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

High Without Your Love

Hey guys!

Today I feel the need for something more energizing to put my bones in motion. So I think that a black tea with some chocolate might do the trick. I found the perfect blend for me to enjoy, it’s called Chocolate Peppermint and it’s a simple mix of: black tea, chocolate bits and mint. And to tell you the truth chocolate with mint it’s one of my favorite kinds of chocolate, so in this department I’m good.

As for the song, I’m choosing “High Without Your Love” by the New York-based pop duo Loote. This is their first track and it’s easy to listen, has a pop rhythm and cute lyrics and feels like a summer anthem. Plus lyrics like “I can't get high without your love/ All of these drugs, they ain't enough/ They don't do what your body does” make this song easy to remember and bring just enough cheesiness to the table.

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

You Know It

Today we are starting directly with a surf rock track so we can feel the summer that is supposed to come in less than a month. The song is called “You Know It” by the indie rock band from Nashville Colony House. It’s full of guitar riffs and drums kicking in the best way possible. And it’s almost unmanageable not the get this melody stuck in your head, it even has a “La la la la la” part that will make it even easier to remember.

And for the tea, I’m choosing something that might not give you a lot of energy but instead it will keep you and a Zen mood so you can go with the flow. This tea is a special blend that contains: chamomile, rose-hip, hibiscus, rooibos, blueberries, black currant and cranberries. The name of the tea is Berry Essence and it’s a sweet and full of flavor that seem to be enriched by the chamomile undertones.

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

Mr. Doctor Man

Hey guys!

Today I’m drinking a white tea that it’s best with ice and in warm weather. It’s called White Raspberry Ice and it’s a combination of: white tea, raspberry, cloves and cinnamon. It’s a delicious beverage, low on caffeine and full of antioxidants and fragrances that will surprise you. It’s sweet, spice and you can never go wrong by drinking it, hot or on ice.

As for the song I’m listening to Mr. Doctor Man by the Canadian alternative rock band Palaye Royale. It’s a catchy song and it’s all you could need from a rock song. The drum kicks, guitar riffs, bass solos, it's just incredible. Plus the raspy vocals of the lead singer make this song easy to remember. I was pleasantly surprised by this band’s sound and the energizing feeling that just wrap me up every time I listen to the song.

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

Saturnz Barz

Hey guys!

It’s that time again; you have to help me wish a good friend of mine Happy Birthday. It’s like always, the choice in music and tea comes from the one that is celebrating the birthday. I’ve known the birthday boy for a few years now (not many but just enough to consider him a good friend) and I’ve got to say there aren’t so many people that make me feel comfortable and relaxed like I do in his company. It’s good to have a pal that you can joke around and still have a serious conversation and you my friend are one of them.

And now, the song …to tell you the truth usually when it comes to music we are pretty different, but his choice is actually a track that I like and it's one I've written about before, so this is going to be easy. In this marvelous day we are going to listen to “Saturnz Barz” by Gorillaz featuring Popcaan. This is an infectious track that seems to infuse some trap style base with a reggae influences and of course Gorillaz old sound. The melody gives me a feeling of being trapped in a bizarre and psychological “experiment” and maybe that’s what makes this experience of a song so great. Plus the minute Damon starts singing really keeps me hooked in.

For the tea it’s going to be a rooibos tea cause that’s his favorite, with some alcohol (vodka of course). And we came up with the perfect blend and name so it could be something he really would enjoy. The name of our tea is Spice Spirit and it’s a combination of: rooibos, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel ... and our much beloved vodka. Plus if you cool it down and add some cranberry juice, a little more vodka and garnish it with some thin slices of lemon, you can turn into a great cocktail.

Kisses and Go dink you tea (and help me with the wishes for the birthday boy), I’m already drinking mine.

Happy Birthday my good friend, have an awesome day!

Colours

Hey guys!

Today I’m drinking some black tea, I felt the need since I woke up :D. This one is a very simple blend made just with black tea and rose petals. It has a floral aroma and it makes me a little more relaxed, not just energized from the black tea. It’s called Rose Congou, what name could fit better for this delicately scented black tea.

As for the song my choice is “Colours” from the UK indie rock pop band Luna Bay. Not many people might have heard of them but their sound and especially this song is quite infectious. It’s a great melody with lots of hooks and guitar riffs that make this track easy to listen and it might fill you up with a sense of calm and wonder, at least that’s want it does to me.

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

Never My Love

Hey you!

Right now I’m listening to a cover of classic love song. I’m talking by “Never My Love” a hit from the ‘60 from the band The Association, which is a sweet love song that pledges infinite commitment and it even makes you believe that such a thing exists. The cover is done be the indie, pop-rock band Knox Hamilton and it’s a fresh, cute and no too sugary :D.   

As for the tea, I’m going to choose just for us a blend made with: rooibos, chamomile, carob, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and orange peel. It’s called the Classic Chai and it has one of the most perfect combinations of ingredients. It’s a relaxing and full of flavor beverage that you can enjoy at any given hour.

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

Amsterdam

Hey guys!

Today we are going to listen to the new single form the UK band Nothing But Thieves. It’s called “Amsterdam” and it has that certain something that made me like it in an instant. It’s catchy, feels a little different from their previous work but it absolutely perfect.  You can actually feel the passion throughout the song, and this band manage to do something beautiful and energetic, something that after you enjoy it you can’t seem to let it go. You’ll find yourself listening to the song “Over, over, over/ Again and again”.

For the tea, I’m choosing something that contains black tea so we can keep up with the energy of the song. So, the tea is called Lemon Essence with Peel and it’s a great blend made of green rooibos, black tea, lemon peel & lemon myrtle. It’s a tea you can enjoy with just a good song and a great attitude. It will help you keep up with the work load if the day.

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

Jamie

Hey guys!

Today I’m thinking of drinking a maté tea, one with chocolate so I get the energy to survive the day. It’s called Maté Chocolate and it contains: maté roasted rooibos, cocoa pieces, chocolate bits, barley malt, coconut rasps, cinnamon, cloves and cornflower blossoms. It’s sweet and fruity, with an easy to remember flavor.

As for the song I just found the song “Jamie” from the indie rock band Nightair. It’s a fun song that will make you wanna move a little. It seems to be about a girl named Jamie, her ex-boyfriend is the narrator and he is trying to explain to her new boyfriend that Jamie only likes him for what he is, “A shiny new toy to be used” J. It’s a cute song that might make you smile once you hear it.

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

The Cure

Hey you!

So Lady Gaga has a new single out and I’ve got to say I love it. The track is called “The Cure”  and it’s a more EDM and sound a lot more like the other pop song that are filling the music charts. That isn’t necessarily bad, that just means she is a really good artist and she can do anything :D.  Plus this song is about the unconditional love you can have for someone and the lyrics are quite great; “I’ll fix you with my love” is forever stuck in my head.  

And for the tea, it’s going to be really simple. I’m choosing the Red, Green & White tea cause I can choose between the white tea, green tea and rooibos so I’m choosing a blend made just with just them. It combines the colorful taste of the rooibos tea with the fresh flavor of green tea and the smooth charm of white tea. It’s simple and the taste is marvelous.

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

S.H.C.

Happy Labor Day!

Well at least for some of you that celebrated it today.

Today’s track is coming from Foster The People and it’s their new single “S.H.C.” short for Sacred Hearts Club. It’s a track fit for the summer that is coming, it’s warm and it has a bubbly electronic touch to its sound. The song has easy and somehow the perfect lyrics that carry you smoothly into the choruses and bridges. Some of them will really stick inside your brain and they might even give you a feeling of joy in life.

As for the tea, I’m thinking that a will relax you and even give you a lot of benefits for your hair, skin, and even your nails health, plus some anti-aging help if you need it. It’s a fruity, fresh blend with a medium amount of caffeine that you can enjoy throughout the day. It’s called the BeauTea Bomb and it’s a mix of:  green tea, rooibos, yerba maté, hibiscus, lemon peel, dandelion leaf, nettle leaf, peppermint, burdock root, marshmallow root & raspberry.

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