This morning I mixed it up a bit. I’m not drinking my usual black tea, instead I’m dinking rooibos tea or red tea.
Rooibos is a caffeine-free tea that has a sweet taste. This tea has been traditionally popular due to its great taste and unique color, boosting the health of the body. It’s also rich in vitamin C, may ease digestive problems. The color red is the color of energy, passion and action, and that means it’s a tea that is perfect for mornings and for when you are low on stamina.
Because this tea is so invigorating, the song should be invigorating too. That is why I’ve chose „Seed 2.0” by the Roots featuring Cody ChesnuTT. The track is "a rock song, featuring a little bit of funk and just a very little bit of hip-hop” or at least that is what Stylus Magazine called it. It’s a song that keeps you in a good mood or gives you one. This track is going to hook you up from the very first time you listen to it. I’ve known it for a long time (I’m sure you do too), I never got tired of it. Anytime I want to feel good this is what I listen to.
Kisses and Go drink your tea, I’m already drinking mine.
I've already started my ritual
without you guys, and now I'm drinking my tea. This morning I woke up with the
taste of purple in my mouth and I thought that lavender tea would be the
perfect thing to drink to help me with my craving. It's a good thing that I had
the urge to buy it yesterday, for other reasons, but still, that was apparently
a very good thing to do. Even if what I had in mind for today did not happen,
let's hope tomorrow will be the day I'm going to do at least half of the things
that I'm not doing today, or something else that will make me happy.
Lavender has a nice smell and
even a better taste. It's a good choice for those days that are just mellow and
chill. Lavender is purple which is a very expressive color, is feminine,
graceful and very elegant. I like it even if it's not my favorite color anymore;
it used to be when I was little, but now I like it in other ways. Also it's the
color for Thursdays which has been my favorite day for the past three weeks.
Lavender is a medicinal plant and
doctors say that it can make wonders when you're in a bad state of mind, being
a very good antidepressant. They also say that lavender tea will make you feel
better, eliminating psychic problems and helping detoxify the body and will
maintain blood pressure at normal levels.
I'm certain that this tea with work
perfectly with the song "Gimme Your Love" by Morcheeba, a band from the
UK, formed in 1995 (I was 3 then and far way). They have a modern psychedelic sound.
This genre is one of my favorites. Trip-Hop can put you in motion and give
you a lift when you need it the most.
Now let's talk about the song.
"Gimme Your Love" it's
one of the singles from the album "Head up High". This song makes me
quite happy and makes me look at the world in a very pink/purple way. It has
some cute lyrics like "Take your time now, Or do it right now" that
can make you wonder about what could happen next. You can feel the drum kick
all thru the song and that makes it even sexier in my book. It could be one of
those songs where you can try the motion of the ocean but it's not necessary.
You can listen to this song and just be in your own world, like I'm doing right
now. It's a fantastic song that can make you feel really good because "Our
love's here to last" and who doesn't want that now and then?
So here are my choices for today.
Kisses and Go drink your tea, I'm

I was feeling energized this moring and I asked myself what kind of tea will keep me in this mood longer. Then I realized that "Queen of Tarts" would be the perfect one. It's a tea made of hibiscus, guayusa, marigold petals, salvia extract and natural blackberry flavoring. It has a sweet taste like a tart (that's even in the name), and a deep red color from the hibiscus, but the marigold petals bring a little yellow (which is my favorite color right now by the way, and that means I'm enthusiastic for life, yey!). But that is not all! The guayusa is a super energizer so it's perfect for those mornings when you want to stat the day in a great mood. Plus, I think, because of the fruits, this would make a perfect ice tea that you can enjoy in one of those hot summer days. The hibiscus has a lot of benefits like relief from high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It's also perfect for digestive, immune system, and inflammatory problems. The guayusa is one of the three known caffeinated holly trees that can replace your afternoon coffee: it gives you a lift similar to coffee but less jolts and jitters (not that I know what's that is like since I do not drink or like coffee, but I've research it and everything says so). I'm pretty sure that is one of the most perfect combinations of flavors and colors.
That's it about the tea; now let's talk about the song.
The song is called "Paper Girl". The band that sings it July Talk a Canadian blues/alternative rock band. They have an interesting style thanks to the voices of the lead singers Peter Dreimanis- who has a deep voice and an interesting resonance-, and Leah Fay -who has a sweet voice. They make the perfect combination (of voices), exactly like the tea.
This song, "Paper Girl" is the first song I've heard from them and I fell in love with it instantly. The way the drums are kicked and the way that the sound stops for a second before Leah starts singing the course! The first time I heared it, it pumped me. Plus the lyric "if money in your coffee, if you want secrets in your tea" brings joy to me and makes me dance. I enjoy this song very much even though it seems to be about a certain kind of woman, a "material girl" that isn't appreciated as much as she would like. Regardless, this is a great song, I have no complains about it.
But it doesn't matter what it's about, if it makes you feel as good as I do when I listen to it, it's a great song that deserved its own tea.
That is all.
Kisses and Go drink your tea, I'm already drinking mine.
