She's Got You High

This time I’m definitely doing it. A good friend of mine had her birthday last week and among other things, this is a present for her. I chose her favorite tea and song, and now I’m trying to see how well they work together.

„She's Got You High” by Mumm-Ra, an indie, rock band from the UK, it’s a simple song with just a guitar and an easy beat. But don’t let yourself be fooled by its simplicity, I think this exact discreetness is what makes it such a romantic and cute melody. It reminds you of a summer pop that brings a smile to your face. It’s a feel good song because of its lyrics like: „The sun’s in the sky, it's warming up your bare legs” and „Have you lost your mind or has she taken all of yours too?” Isn’t that nice? I’m definitely going to listen to it more from now on.

This song might not be my usual cup of tea, but the next part is.
White tea, it’s also one of my favorites and now is the perfect chance for me to write about it. White tea has an appealing flavor and has many benefits. They say that it’s the closest you can get to purity.That is why you can’t find it everywhere (at least in Romania). Its delicate taste raised the tea’s reputation and nobility in recent years. Plus it has more health benefits than green tea, like: it can kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the body, stimulates the immune system, protects against colon cancer. Another white tea health benefit is that it contains less caffeine than green, oolong, or black tea, which makes it perfect for relaxation or to just feel good. That’s about it. Interesting, right?

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

And Happy Birthday, dear friend!

Hymn Of The Weekend

Like always, I’m starting the day with my cup of tea and a song that works with it. Here it goes.

I’m in a good mood and that means I’ll be talking about something that will energize you, like the song „Hymn For The Weekend” by Coldplay featuring Beyoncé. I didn’t like this one at first, but after listening to it for a couple of times, I stated loving it. It makes no sense for me to talk about Coldplay or Beyoncé, I trust that everyone knows about them by now (doh!). I personally think this featuring is a very interesting one. We are used to Coldplay’s alternative music, of course, but Beyoncé adds her harmonies and a little of her indie, r&b vibe to make the song even better. A tune that’s euphoric and a little funky and boosts the „drunk and high”feeling.

And let’s see, since the video is shot in India, I’m choosing a tea that grows there - the Darjeeling black tea - to go with the theme. Darjeeling is a Chinese tea that grows in India and has the flavor of French grapes. It can taste more like wine and that is why it is frequently called the „champagne of teas”. It has many health benefits including: obesity prevention, dental health, cancer prevention and protection against stomach ulcers.

That’s about it for today.
