5K Thoughts: The Color Me Rad Experience
Last Sunday I ran Color Me Rad KW. It was my first 5K ever and I was pretty stoked for the last couple months. I had originally planned to time myself but it was pretty hard to do during this 5K due to the starting and stopping at the colour bomb station, and a couple
Pistachio Cream Tea Review
The Tea: Today’s tea was another one donated by a friend: Pistachio Cream Tea from David’s Tea.

Orange Spice Tea Review
The Rant Did you know that tea at Second Cup costs $2! At first I didn’t think much of how much I was paying at the time, but as I was walking home I got to thinking…I just paid $2 for a tea bag. All the sizes cost the same so it’s not like I’m

Mom’s Apple Pie Tea Review
Hello There! As a novice tea drinker, I had no idea that different teas are brewed in different ways. My experience with tea has, until now, been limited to throwing a tea bag into a cup and pouring in hot water. And apparently…that’s wrong 😕 So, from now on, I will include a ‘preparation’ section
