Time to relax

Hiiiii! :)

I am in a rather good mood at the moment because reading week has finally arrived!! These past two weeks have been so hectic. I've had four midterms/tests, two assignments due, plus playoff games for my hockey team and work. I have been getting very minimal sleep and everything has been go go go. My final midterm was this afternoon, and it didn't go well but there's nothing I can do about it now and I can finally relax (sort of:P)

I have a week off of school, and I do still have lots of work to do over the break, but it's nice not to have to drive into school everyday. I've decided that tonight I am not going to do any work, I am just going to relax and take it easy because I really need a break!

So on this valentines day, I am going to go to the dollar store, buy lots of chocolate bars, and watch some romantic comedies (or something like that) because I can. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's day, whether you are spending it with a special someone, your friends, or your family. 

I found this image on tumblr and I just think it's the cutest!! <3

The Perfect Evening

Hiiii! :)

I love evenings where there is nothing you have to do, nowhere you have to be, and you can just relax in your sweat pants and read a book. Tonight was one of those relaxing evenings. I lit a candle, made some peppermint tea, got comfortable with my blanket and started reading the Last Song by Nicholas Sparks.

This is my warm vanilla sugar candle from Bath and Body works... it smells wonderful!!

 A few weeks ago I went to the library and got this book because I have seen the movie and enjoyed it, yet I haven't read the book. This is very odd because usually I need to read a book before I see the movie. Anyways, I decided to start reading it tonight even though I'm in the middle of another book (Wicked by Gregory Maguire) because I have to return it in a few days.

I haven't read too much of it yet but so far I am enjoying it. Usually I like books more than the movies, so I'm excited to finish this one! Even though it was kind of a slow evening I had a really nice night. Sometimes you just need to slow down and read a book for a couple hours.

If any of you have recently read a good book that you would recommend let me know, I am always looking for something new to read :)

I hope you all have a lovely evening,

Tea

     I just want to express my love for tea because it is just so wonderful. I have never liked coffee, ever. I just cannot drink it and I don't like the smell of it. So I drink tea instead and I love it. I would probably have to say it is my favourite hot beverage (well it's tied with hot chocolate).  There is just something about sipping hot tea from your favourite mug that is so relaxing. I find that it is perfect for any mood I am in, whether I am upset, angry, happy and so on. It can warm me up, calm me down, lift my spirits and just make me feel better in general. It is just the perfect drink. Usually food or drink related items that I like are bad for you (Chocolate is just so good!) so I can't have a lot at once, but that doesn't apply to tea. Tea is actually good for you which makes me extremely happy! I actually like to have chilled tea as well (iced tea) but more so with fruitier/sweeter teas.
      I'm actually really weird when it comes to what I drink my tea in, I can be quite picky sometimes. My family has a numerous amount of mugs, and I do use a lot of them, however there are a few that I definitely use more often.
    

Best Mugs Ever!!!

      Now I do LOVE my Harry Potter and Tinkerbell ones but my absolute favourite would have to be the soup one. My grandma gave us this one and we actually have two of them :) I am aware that is says SOUP on it but i really don't care, I use it for my tea! I cannot explain to you why I love it so much, I just do. The great things about these mugs is that they are all quite big which means more tea for me!! :D

     At the moment my two go to teas are Stash's Peppermint tea and Teavana's Wild Orange Blossom tea. They are both very different from eachother but are both so delicious! Now to be honest I only discovered this peppermint tea last week when I went to my friends house and it is hands down the best peppermint tea I have ever tasted! I instantly fell in love and went out and bought some for myself. It is just really refreshing, and it makes your breathe smell like peppermint! The Wild Orange Blossom is a more fruity tea and it smells heavenly. It's hard to explain but it has this wonderful citrus scent and it is just wonderful! When this tea is made it is actually a pinky orange colour which is really pretty! Now I don't usually put anything in my tea but I don't even think you need milk or sugar for this tea because it is so sweet already.

In case you hadn't noticed already, I love tea ;)

     I found this picture on Tumblr and it pretty much sums up how I feel about tea. I thought it was cute so enjoy! :)

     I hope you all have a wonderful day and feel free to leave any thoughts you may have below!
