It's been a rough week for me. I got hit with strep throat. Very badly. I spent 4-5 days in bed and the couch. I'm walking around today but I'm nowhere near 100%. The back of my throat, wow, you can probably write a science fiction novel about it. It's that scary.
There hasn't been much eating or doing of anything around here. So the ole blog is looking dusty from not being used but I think it will be that way for the rest of the week too. Sorry. Life trumps. I'm taking care of myself, resting on my couch, watching tv and sipping on tea.
Did I just mention tea?

ReplyDeleteI just took the Tetley Colour Test and I'm a violet! And that suits me I think. Just like this gift basket would. I start my day with tea and end it too. Love it! Thanks for the chance to win this great prize!!! Good luck to everyone!
ReplyDeleteTheir new mojito tea sounds interesting! All the herbal options will be great for these cold evenings.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Schmaltz. You can count me in on this one. I always hate the idea of buying these trendy tea things - but this would be one good way to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway - this basket sounds awesome. Hope you're feeling better! :)
ReplyDeleteTea time you say! It always reminds me of my mother, as we used to sit around the table and dunk ginger snaps. Lovely memories.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway Maki!
What a great prize pack for this time of year! One of my favorite things to do after a super busy day is to sit down with a pot of tea and just enjoy it and the quiet and sense doing nothing that (usually) come with it.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I love a good tea in the winter time! Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon! I love tea when it's cold.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, you have an incredible eye(or 2. We check in evry week.
ReplyDeleteOmg this would be perfect for the winter season!
ReplyDeleteYum!! My tea colour this morning is apparently pale green, but I'm really interested in the cinnamon spice flavour!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon :)
My colour is purple, the blueberry ginseng. I took the test on the tetley tea website and when I went by the store I decided to give it a try. Delicious. I love tea and it was nice to have something comforting on a cold winter day that was stressful.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better Maki! Love your blog!
ReplyDeletejust discovered your blog a few months back and would love a chance to win! just getting over the flu, so this would be a wonderful and welcome boost :)
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to "develop a taste" for tea. I never did like it much but I know how good it is for you so I have been experimenting with a few different brands and flavours. I recently discovered that I actually quite like their Mojito and Warmth teas... even without massive amounts of sugar and honey!! I would love the opportunity to try some more of Tetley's teas and this package would be perfect! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I love these teas! Thankfully the strep I also have is beginning to subside... finally allowing me to truly enjoy each sip!
ReplyDeleteI love those teas. The basket sounds lovely! I hope you are back to your healthy self soon.
ReplyDeleteI love tea in the winter! I have so many, but could always use a few more.
