Tea Time Tuesday and Latest Read! #3

Hi Everyone!

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to Tea Time Tuesday and Latest Read! I'm excited so let's get started!



This week's tea is loose leaf Jasmine Tea from enjoyingtea.com. I love this tea because I love the smell of jasmine and the hint of flavor it gives to the green tea. It just tastes so light and refreshing. I have ordered this tea and a few others from enjoyingtea.com and I really like the way that they package their teas and the price is really nice.



Just Finished:

Blessed by S.J West. This book was so good! It is the second in the Watcher's Trilogy and I finished it in less than 2 days.

Forgiven by S.J. West. This is the final book in the trilogy and I loved it. The entire series was amazing and if you like books about angels and stuff like that, you will love this series!

Sacrificed in Shadow by SM Reine. This book was also quite enjoyable. It's about this paranormal demon like person who is a hunter of bad demons if that makes any sense. There are angels, demons, witches, werewolves and such involved so if you're into that its pretty awesome. I would definitely recommend :)

Currently Reading: I literally just finished Sacrificed in Shadow at like 2:30 this morning so I haven't picked my next book yet however Sacrificed in Shadow is a part of Magic after Dark which has 6 different novels so I may start on the next one but haven't fully decided as of yet.

On a side note, can I just tell you how excited that I found out today through Instagram that Lena Dunham has written a book and it's coming out in a few months?! omg I can not wait!

Hope you enjoyed! What are you guys drinking and/or reading?

until next time <3

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday! Are you excited for the weekend? I can't wait for the weekend for sure :)

Man, I thought I would never be able to get this up today because I've had so many issues with my cable modem. The one that we've had for the past 6 months decided to literally short out and smoke this morning when I went to check out why we didn't have any internet. Then I went to get a replacement and that one didn't work so I thought all was lost but then, we got it all figured out and now here I am :) but anywho enough about that.. let's get started :)



Reading: I actually just finished a trilogy that I'll talk more about on Tuesday but I just started a new series called Magic After Dark boxed set and the first book is actually Sacrificed in Shadow by SM Reine. So far its pretty good :)



Doing: getting a bunch of things ready for something really exciting.. more news to come shortly :)

Thankful for: my family and friends and life, yummy food and new beginnings!

Watching: I have to get caught up on a few shows like PLL and such but currently I'm actually watching Mask on tv.. its such a good movie!

Loving: life and my new Kate Spade handbag and phone case :)

What are you guys currently up to?

until next time <3

Tea Time Tuesday and Latest Reads #2

Hi Everyone!

Happy Tuesday! I'm so excited to bring you guys the second edition of Tea Time Tuesday and Latest Reads! Let's get started!



This week's tea is the Tazo Apricot Vanilla Creme white tea. This tea is very light and it has a hint of the apricot and you can really taste the creaminess of the vanilla. It is amazing and perfect for a day time tea. As far as caffeine goes, it has a 3 out of 5 so it's not too bad. I would definitely recommend this tea. It is super yummy! I found this at Target for around $3-4.



Just Finished: Seriously.. I'm Kidding by Ellen Degeneres. I definitely enjoyed this book more than Mindy Kaling's book. It was full of random funniness and I just love Ellen's quirky personality. It was a fairly easy read, but I do have to admit because it's not my normal kind of read.. typically I read YA fiction, it took me longer than normal to read. I do recommend this read.. specially if you like autobiographies and such. Side note: I do think that I might have enjoyed this more on audio book because Ellen reads it herself so that's something to keep in mind :)

Cursed by S.J. West. I am loving this trilogy! I seriously read this entire book within 24 hours! I just couldn't put it down! it's about fallen angels.. I definitely recommend for sure!



Current Read: Blessed by S.J. West. I'm on the second book and I'm already halfway through it and I started it last night. It's really good as well and I can't wait to finish this book and start the next one! Super easy read and love the story line :)

What have you guys read this week? Any yummy teas you've tried out?

until next time <3

Hi Everyone!

This is what's been going on this week :)

Reading: Seriously.. I'm Kidding by Ellen Degeneres and its awesome so far.

Doing: I feel super productive because I've been tidying up the apartment and doing laundry.

Thankful For: Life, my wife, my health and the opportunity to be able to work on my blog full time which is awesome :)

Watching: I've actually been catching up on some shows while my love has been away for business so I've been watching Pretty Little Liars, Ravenswood, The Fosters, and Reign. I have absolutely been loving Reign! I love when it takes place and it's just so addicting. Anyone else watching?

Loving: My new Kate Spade essex scout handbag and the fact that my love is finally home from being on business since Monday. I've missed her so much!

What's been going on this week for you? I'd love to hear :)

until next time <3

Tea Time Tuesday and Latest Read!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Tea Time Tuesday and Latest Read!

I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love drinking tea and lately I have been trying out various kinds and thought it would be fun to review them.

Since drinking tea is such a relaxing thing to do, my favorite thing to accompany my tea is a good book so I thought that I could combine the two and give you guys like a weekly Tea review and let you guys know what book I've just finished and what I'm currently reading.

I have a goal on goodreads to read 100 books by the end of the year so help me get there with awesome book recommendations :)



The current tea that I have recently tried and have been loving is the Tazo Cocoa Mint Mate. The first time I tried this I knew I would be hooked! It is an herbal tea infused with cocoa peel, peppermint, spearmint and mate. I like that it has a hint of mint but it's not too minty and just a slight hint of cocoa. It's amazing and very little caffeine content so I can drink it before bed no problem. I found mine at Target for I think $3-4 so it was definitely a decent price. I would definitely recommend this tea!



Just Finished: Is Everyone Hanging Out With Me? by Mindy Kaling.I have to admit that while it was a good read, I kind of got bored towards the end. I think the beginning was witty and fun to read but towards the end it kind of seemed to die off as far as the comedy goes. Overall though, I enjoyed reading it and it was an easy read.



Current Read: Seriously... I'm Kidding by Ellen Degeneres. Lately I have been on a kick about reading various comedian's autobiography and I have heard nothing but great things about this one so I'm really excited to read this one through :)

What are you guys reading? any yummy tea suggestions?

until next time <3

I saw this post on another blogger's site and thought it would be great to do weekly so here is my first post! I will be posting these every Thursday and we shall see how it goes :) Hope you enjoy!

Reading: After talking with a few friends about The Office (US version) I just had to download Is Everyone Hanging Out With Me by Mindy Kaling. I'm a little more than halfway through it and it's such a light and funny read. I think it's super interesting to see how people achieve their dreams and the funny things along the way. Even though I'm not done reading, I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an easy read that's funny.

Doing: I'm currently debating on whether or not to start a fitness regimen to get my body in shape to have a baby next year. I have about 30 pounds to lose to be at a healthy weight.. what are your thoughts? would you be interested?

Thankful for: my amazing wife who supports everything I want to do. I'm also thankful for being blessed and not having to worry about a roof over my head or food on the table.

Watching: Beautiful Creatures is on in the background.. I have to have background noise whenever I'm doing something :p but I enjoy the movie too so it's a win win :)

Loving: life and reading blogs :) I'm also really enjoying posting more and getting the hang of blogging.


Thanks so much to Danielle (sometimessweet.blogspot.com) for giving me the idea to start doing these kind of posts. I think it will be really nice to be able to look back to at the end of the year :)

until next time <3
