Daily Favorites

Hello lovelies!

It's that time of day again! Today, I decided to include my favorite photo of MY day, which means I included a photo taken by yours truly! I hope you like the personal addition to my daily post. 

My day has been extremely productive. I cooked, worked out (did some Blogilates), washed the dishes, and studied! I also managed to take a couple deep breaths and short breaks. All in all, what a great day! Hope your days were also fantabulous. Now, on to my favorites:

My Photo of the Day:

I decided to get a refreshing shaken iced tea from Starbucks today. One of the best decisions of the day. I got the shaken iced green tea, unsweetened. I prefer to have my tea straight without all that extra sugar. It was perfection. It was extremely hot in Honolulu today, so I enjoyed my tea in the shade for the most part. I also wanted to mention that this was my photo selection for the #100happydays photography project. If you don't know what the project is and want to learn more about it, click here! I am loving the project; it allows me to take time out of each day to appreciate the world around me.

Favorite Makeup Look:

I love this makeup look on her, and I totally want to recreate it! Although it's summer, I still think the dark lip is F A B.  This look has inspired me to pull out my dark red lipstick and some edgy summer wear for tomorrows #ootd. See the original blog post here.

Favorite Animal Photo:

Omg. Look how a d o r a b l e these little guys (or girls) are! These are sloths from the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica. I really want to make a trip there just to see these little cuties! Don't they just look like they want to play? To see more sloth pictures, click here to visit the original buzzfeed post.

Favorite Workout Find:

I love this workout from Back on Pointe.  The workout looks tough and also looks easily modifiable. If you needed to make it harder or easier, I'm sure you could. I do not have much arm strength, so I am excited to try this one out in the next couple of days! 

Hope you liked my favorites, and see you soon!

Aloha,

Cassie

Tea Feature: Harney & Sons Paris Tea

Hello lovelies!

I don't know about you, but I love a good cup of tea.  I also LOVE coffee, as I mentioned in a previous blog post, but I enjoy tea just as much! I like tea iced or hot, depending on the weather! I seem to mostly drink it hot though, probably because it is faster and easier to make (I know...I'm a lazy bum).

One of the teas I have been loving at the moment is the Harney & Sons PARIS tea. I l o v e this tea! According to the Harney & Sons website, the tea is a mixture of three different teas. The tea, when brewed, smells "like an Earl Grey with black currant and vanilla aromas and a hint of caramel." AMAZING, right? Although I am not enough of a tea connoisseur to pick up on all of that, I do find the aroma very enticing and pleasant. I love to smell this tea almost as much as I love to drink it! The tea, I have to mention, is caffeinated; some individuals are sensitive, so keep that in mind if you decide on purchasing it!

This is a photo I took of the tea (box) and my University of Hawaii mug. I got the tea as a present from one of my dear friends, but she told me that she got it at Williams-Sonoma if I needed more! I went to check, and they definitely have it in stock (at least in the store located in Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii). You can also get it here (at the Harney & Sons official website). 

Another amazing thing is that the tea is not that pricey. On the website, a 20 sachet tin is only $8! Also, look at that box; isn't it gorgeous? The packaging is incredible, the name is irresistible, and the tea is delicious. You should, like, go get it. NOW.

Anywho, if you have a favorite tea, don't be shy and let me know in the comments below! I hope you are all having a great day, and I'll be back soon for my daily favorites!

Aloha,

Cassie
