Starlight

Hey you!

So today a certain someone wanted to listen to something from Muse, and since my favorite song from them is “Starlight” that’s what we are going to listen. I love this track; it’s about being away from home or loved ones but still feeling their love no matter what. It’s an amazing melody full of guitar riffs and drum kicks that you can sing along to; filled with good vibes and amazing lyrics. I especially like when the rhythm changes a little when the hook comes in, that’s my absolute favorite thing in the song, plus the lyrics :D  

As for the tea, I’m choosing something refreshing, light and still mood boosting with a taste to die for. It’s called Passion Flower and it’s a blend made from:  honey bush, white tea, passion flower, blackberry leaf, lemon peel, hibiscus and extract from passion fruit, mango & lemon.  Is like a tropical island vacation for your senses, with a nice light fruity taste to it. It’s a perfect beverage for any occasion, day or night.

The Best Has Yet To Come

Hey guys!

Today is a special day; it’s the birthday of one of my best of friends, someone who’s been with me thru the good and the bad. And because of that I need you to help me wish her a happy and perfect birthday; full of great memories, with flawless moments and good times, cause she deserves it. Our friendship isn’t an very old one but it’s one that I hold dear to my heart, full of amazing memories, great stories and lots of laughter and that is why you birthday is important to me.

Now… like always when it’s someone’s birthday they choose the song and tea they like in this moments. She wanted something that has apple and cinnamon as their main ingredients and keeping that in mind I searched the tea database and found the Cinnamon Apple Spice. A bend made from: cinnamon, apple, hibiscus, chamomile, roasted chicory, orange peel and roasted carob. This is a sweet and full of flavors tea, with a strong smell and taste of apple and cinnamon now to overpowering so the rest of the ingredients get to shine a little. You can consume it at any time of day, it doesn’t contain caffeine and it even has chamomile so if you dink it before bed you might fall asleep like a baby.

As for the tune of the day, her choice is “The Best Has Yet To Come” from Scorpions. This is a powerful ballad, it’s catchy and passionate, a blend of classical form with hard rock dynamics, guitar and vocal that doesn’t give in to modern clichés but a renewed version of themselves.  Klaus Meine's recognizable vocal are a familiar sound, not to nostalgic but a pleasure to listen to. I’ve got to say some of the lyrics from the chorus fit prefect with our friendship and somehow this song has more meaning to me to. “Through the highs and lows/ And how can I live without you/ You're such a part of me/ And you've always been the one/ Keeping me forever young/ And the best is yet to come”.

Kisses and Go drink (and with my awesome friend a happy birthday), I’m already drinking mine.

Have a wonderful day, a happy birthday and a life you can be proud of my dear friend :*

Blood//Water

Hey!

I quite sick of starting my posts like that but I somehow can’t find anything better, and that means we’re going to keep doing that till I fine something better :D. ok… I’m rambling so let me share with you my choices for today. For the song I’m choosing something from Grandson, a Canadian rock, alternative, electronic artist, someone that seems to have a lot of fans these days, and his song “Blood//Water”. I enjoy this track; it’s edgy, has an infectious beat and let’s not forget that it feels like it has some punk influences.  And of course like a lot of his song seams to challenge the government and what are they doing, definitely a track for 2017.

And because this song feels like such a movement the tea should be something that will help you keep up. How about Bang Bang!? It’s a simple but powerful blend of: green tea, peppermint, cloves and licorice root. It’s full of aromas and awesome flavors from the refreshing green tea to the spicy and warm clove, and let’s not forget the cool that peppermint creates of the sweet hint of licorice.

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

Come Together

Hey guys!

Today I’m listening to the cover Gary Clark Jr. did for the movie Justice League, “Come Together” by The Beetles. I love the way Gary sings; I like his vocals, husky and rough as they are, and the guitar riffs that are just amazing, and this cover has them all. It’s a bass-heavy, electro-rock combined with blues which is an interesting change from usual Beatles riff. It’s easy to find something to love or to hate over this tune but and let’s hope that overall it will be all in the good pile.

And now for our second part, I’m going to choose the Winterberry tea blend. This is a mix of:  green tea, apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rose hip peels, lemongrass, orange peel, strawberry pieces, orange slices, natural flavor, and marigold petals. It’s a nice addition for the months to come, a warm welcome when you get home after a long day of work, sweet strawberry with delicate green tea and citrus lemon balanced with hibiscus sounds perfect to me.

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

Peace Sign

Hey guys!

Today I woke up feeling a little sick and I one of the best remedies I know is ginger tea or something that contains it since a simple ginger tisane isn’t to my liking. That’s why today I’m choosing Battle Born, a tea that contains: green tea, elderberries, sarsaparilla root, cinnamon, ginger, fennel seed, juniper berries, licorice root, sage. It’s a light tea that keeps you going thru the day with warm aromas and a good feeling.

As for the song I think that some of you might like “Peace Sign” from the indie, rock band The Front Bottoms. It’s a simple track that had me from the first seconds with gritty guitar tunes, a unique set of vocals and some blunt lyrics that make this song great. Plus I really like the chorus, especially when “So next time that she sees him/ It'll be peace sign, middle finger” is sung.

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

I Only Lie When I Love You

Hey guys!

“I Only Lie When I Love You” is the song we are listening today, from the English alternative rock, garage rock band Royal Blood. It’s a modern blues with a lot of drum kicks and guitar riffs, but there are not that heavy, they just get you pumped up and ready to take in the world. This track is a nod to The White Stripes with its video and the persistent drumming and the distorted riffs. It’s a track that feels similar from the first listen and it stays with you because is quite addicting and extremely enjoyable.  

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something mostly cause of its name. This new tea is called Burn Baby Burn and it’s an amazing blend of: green and white tea, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, coconut flakes, dandelions and black pepper to enhance the turmeric.  It’s a kickass anti-inflammatory with metabolism boosting & fat scorching ingredients (disintegrates that fat & inflammation). So today it’s time to wake up and feel the burn.

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

Any Friend of Diane’s

Hello!

Today I am listening to Weezer’s new album “Pacific Daydream” and my favorite song on it “Any Friend of Diane’s”. This one feels a little different from the track that Weezer has released before, it’s slow, unique and it just something about it, it’s even catch and easy to listen to.  But it seems that people are quite torn about it, either they like it or they just hate it. It’s not that 90s grunge and it looks that their sound has change and for me feels like for the better.

As for the tea, I’m choosing a simple one made from just 3 ingredients. It’s called Red Coconut and it contains: rooibos, coconut flakes or pieces and lemongrass. It’s simple, creamy and far from boring, with the “light” that the rooibos brings to the rich taste of coconut and last but not least the lemongrass that brings this blend to a perfect circle. It’s a perfect and cozy beverage that you can enjoy at any time of day.

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

Heavenward

Hey guys!

I woke up this morning with a craving for something refreshing and not to energetic, so a thought that a Butterscotch tea might be the perfect choice. It’s an amazing blend of: white tea, cinnamon, pink peppercorns & marigold flowers. Very delicate, a bit on the peppery side, not very sweet, just rich notes of butterscotch, just a guilt-free drink for those in need, like me :D. And after just one sip you will definitely want some more.

Now… for our second part, I’m going with an indie, alternative, rock band from the UK, called Wolf Alice and their new single “Heavenward”. This tune fits perfect in the shoegazeing genera is echoey, ghostly and gorgeous.  It’s a dreamy, melodic track, full of inharmonious, but pleasing guitars, which take you on a mysterious journey, especially with her divine voice.

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

Black Holes (Solid Ground)

Hey guys!

Today we are going to listen to The Blue Stones single “Black Holes (Solid Ground)”. It’s a track that embodies the old dirty rock sound with drums kicking, guitar riffs and those screams coming from an enthusiastic singer. It’s a track that just seems to fluctuate from smooth and clean to heavy and overdriven sound that makes the experience of the song even better. I especially like how the chorus starts: “Sing your hearts out sing it loud/ Make me happy make me proud”, it’s the part where I just start to shout.

Now for the tea, how about something that will give you a lot of energy to do whatever you need to do to get thru the day. I know I’ve written about this tea before but it deserves more the one mention; it’s called Endurance and it’s a combination of: black tea, cinnamon, eleuthro root, goji berries, schisandra berries, nettle leaf, oat-straw & ashwaganda. With a taste to die for and the splash of energy that it will give you, I’m sure it will turn out to be an old time favorite.

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

The Last Of The Real Ones

Hey you!

Today I woke up in a great mood and with a craving for chai tea, one of my own blends of course. It’s simple, sweet and it will fill you with a lot of energy to get thru the day so you can start your weekend.  It contains: black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cacao powder, chocolate bits, pink peppercorns, orange peel and cloves. I call it Chai For You because this blend was made for someone special :D

And now the song … I just heard the new single from Fall Out Boy and I’ve got to say I really like it. I’m talking about “The Last Of The Real Ones” and it’s about loving someone because of all their imperfections and not in spite of them, and that to me is real love. It’s energetic, keeps your body moving, it has a great beat to it and the lyrics are extremely sweet.  I especially like this ones “You are the sun and I am just the planets/ Spinning around you” and “I will shield you from the waves/ If they find you/ I will protect you”. Aren’t they lovely? I think so, now….

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

Unstoppable

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to keep it short, and I’ll start right away with the song. I am listening to “Unstoppable” by The Score, an indie, rock band from New York. This is a track that fills you up with good energy and tries to empower you with lyrics like “We can be heroes everywhere we go/ We can have all that we ever want”.  It the perfect soundtrack for any task we have and can’t quite get our self’s to do.

And for the tea, I’m thinking something that has just a little bit of caffeine might be the perfect pairing for the song. How about Chocolate Coconut? It’s a combination of: black tea, chocolate pieces, soya lecithin, powdered milk, dextrose and coconut flakes. It has a sweet taste and it fills you up with energy so you can end the day in a glorious state.

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

Dear Life

Hello!

Today I am listening to Beck’s single “Dear Life”. From the first seconds into this song I knew I liked. It’s upbeat, has a certain groove, not to serious but not silly either.  It starts with that piano playing and you hear it through the entire melody in the background; paired with that guitar riffs and drum kicks. The lyrics are pretty weird and complicated, asking questions of life in the most bizarre way. But my favorite is got to be: “Dear life, I think it's gone too far/ Dear life, please lower the bar/ Lower than the stars”, they care comical and at the same time easy to relate to.

Now for the tea, I’m choosing something that will give you energy and at the same time gives you a refreshing beverage to enjoy at any time you need (maybe except after 7 or 8 P.M.).  It’s called Lemon Essence with Peel and it’s a combination of: green rooibos, black tea and of course lemon peel, it also contains lemon myrtle for more flavor. That’s about it for today, now…

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

Better Days

Hey guys!

Sorry for not posting yesterday but today since I have no excuse I’m going to dive right in. We’ll start with the song, one from the rock, alternative, punk Canadian band Hedley. The track is called “Better Days” and it doesn’t sound nothing like what thee usually sing, it’s more a pop, electric song, one you would here on the radio, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I really like this tune and whenever a band or an artist changes their music to fit the new standard, it’s quite amazing, the transformation is good. This track gives you a good vibe; it’s about looking to the future and realizing that something better has yet to come. And my favorite part and lyrics of this song is: “I don't wanna waste a minute/ But if I gotta waste a minute/ I'd spend the time tryna' get my vibe on track”. That feels exactly like something I would do.

And for the tea, I have the perfect one; it’s sweet, spicy and full of flavors. It’s called Mellow Mountain and it’s an herbal blend design to give you a state of calm, relaxation and if you wanna it will put you to sleep. It’s a faultless combination of: ginger, rose-hip, fennel seed, all-spice, lavender, chamomile and licorice root. And let’s not forget, it’s perfect for sore throat, headaches and it’s a good help in the allergy season. That’s it for today…

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

Miles

Hey you!

I’m going to tell you a secret, today feels like a good day. I think we can accomplish a lot today if we put our self’s to work. And because of that I’m sharing with you a song by the rock, folk, American Idol winner Phillip Phillips. The song is called “Miles” and it’s a sweet and soothing ballad, full of emotions that give me good energy. This song has more rock vibe, even pop but less folk, especially with those drums kicking before the chorus. And these are my favorite lyrics: “If you follow me in this mystery/ We could swim inside these crowds”.

And now for the tea, my choice is a new blend I’ve created which I’ve named White Flowers. It’s a mix of: white tea, sunflowers, cornflowers, rose petals, goji berries and just a pinch of raspberries. It’s refreshing, with a touch of caffeine and with a perfectly scented aroma of flowers. You can enjoy it at almost any time of day and it has benefits for your skin, hair and nails, plus a lot more but these felt like the most important.

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

Run For Cover

‘ello!

Today I’m drinking a maté tea because I needed to change things up and start my day differently, today no more black tea :D. So I searched for a blend that give you energy, it’s refreshing and it has a wonderful aroma that will make your day even better. This tea is called Sierra Sunrise and it’s a mix of: Yerba maté, hibiscus, cinnamon, peppermint, lemongrass, rose-hips, orange peel, holy tulsi trinity (Rama, Krishna & Vana). It has a ruby rose color and the taste is just yummy, and for those of you that want it a bit stronger, just add some tequila :P

Now for the song, I’m going to choose The Killers new single “Run For Cover” from their fifth album “Wonderful Wonderful” that is going to be released on 22th September 2017. This track is full of energy, gets you pumped up (well it got me), and it has that guitar opening that just grabs you right from the start. The way the combine that guitar, drums and synth pads feels new every time even thou they’ve been doing this for a long time. This song is not about surrendering; it’s a good advice, a clever tactic coming from someone with some experience in life. That’s about it for today, now…

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

Seashore

Hey Girls!

So today I feel like we should show the feminists in us and “rage” against the man.  And because of that I have the perfect song “Seashore”, coming from the American punk rock band The Regrettes. This track is for everyone that ever put down a woman just because of her gender or because they think someone is somehow inferior. Plus it has a nice vibe that gives you a bit of energy and I’ve got to say I love that guitar riff and drum kicks, not to loud but just enough to get the blood pumping. 

And go watch the video for this track, it’s funny and powerful and it might make your day.

Now for the tea, my choice is going to be for us women, specially made of us. It’s called Women's Activity Tea Ayurvedic and it’s a special blend made from: orange peel, cinnamon, ginger, angelica root, dandelion root, cloves, juniper berries. This tea is used to combat stress, builds stamina and provides a natural sustainable energy. It has a full body aroma and a pleasant taste to go with all of those benefits.

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

Sweat / Close Your Eyes

Hey guys!

So today I’m going to talk about The All-American Rejects come back after a 5 year hiatus. They dropped 2 new singles a few weeks ago and since they made the release for them with just one video I am going to talk about them both. The first part is called “Sweat”, and I have to say it’s my favorite. It’s dynamic, energetic, with a lot of drum kicks and guitar riffs. Feels like a traditional track from this band, while “Close Your Eyes” is something different. It’s a ballade that has a gentile sound to it. It’s a representation of what’s to come, the change of their sound and releasing then at the same time really makes you notes the differences. Plus the video feels like a short movie that’s both powerful and stunning.

And now for the tea I’m trying to find something that might make sense for both this different melodies but I think I’ve got it. Something that has green tea might be perfect, it can give you energy and it can invigorate you.  The Green Cherry Love tea is perfect, it’s a combination of: green tea, cranberry, elderberry, hibiscus, pieces of cherry, raspberry, rosebuds and rose petals. Perfect if you just want some energy throughout the day but also if you wanna relax after a day of work.

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

Go To War

Hey guys!

Today I am listening to Nothing More’s new single “Go To War”, I’ve heard this song a few weeks when it came out but today feels like the perfect choice. I needed something more energetic to put me on my feet and this was it. It’s a powerful rock track that showcases the lead singer’s vocal range and it’s full of beats and kicks that just get me going.  The song is about “how we circle the problem, unknowingly spinning the web tighter” and that’s what the vocalist Jonny Hawkins says.

And now for the tea, I’m going to choose something that will pump me up full of energy. I think that the Orange Spice might do just want I need. It’s an amazing blend composed of:  black tea, orange and cinnamon. It’s naturally sweet and the cinnamon rounds up that taste, and with just a little bit of milk it will remind you of a chai tea. Hot or with some ice this tea is a perfect beverage to enjoy if you need a little shove out the door.

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

Broken Bones

Hey guys!

Today my need for a certain tea is well establish, and that means I’m drinking the Raspberry & Flowers blend. This is a beautiful combination of: green tea, raspberries and apple pieces, chamomile and sunflowers petals. It’s easy, refreshing and it can easily be turn into an iced tea if you need. The fruity combination of raspberry and apple paired with the flowers makes it into something you can enjoy and feel the calm flow right thru you.

As for the song, I’m choosing “Broken Bones” from the indie, powerpop, garage rock band CRX. It’s not a heavy tune on the ears and the guitar riffs and drum kicks just give you a little energy. The vocals aren’t overpowering but it brings a sort of temptation when you listen to it. Plus the chorus feels like a little lullaby that you just can’t get enough of. Those are my choices for today. Now…

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

Bury Me Face Down

Hey guys!

Right now I’m listening to “Bury Me Face Down” by the Canadian artist Grandson. His sound seems to be a variation of rock/alternative even indie with trap music, and I’ve got to say: I like that. This track is about staying firm on your feet and is supposed to give you the strength needed to survive. There’s a nothing you can say or do to me to stop me from getting where I need to be mentality to this song and that should really help you in your life, well at least sometimes :D

As for the tea, I’m choosing something that has mint and perfect for mornings. It’s a green tea called Moringa Mint and the rest of the ingredients are: mint leaves, moringa leaves, spearmint leaves, cornflower, sunflower petals. It has a smooth taste of mint and that aroma that you can’t get enough of.

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