I made this last night and intended to review it for Sororitea Sisters. However before I did that I tried to place an order for bras and what should have taken 5 minutes ended up taking TWO HOURS!

I was ordering my bras from Lane Bryant/Cacique because they were on sale for $35 USD. I planned to send them to a store near my Dad in LA since my sister will be there next week and can bring them back for me. My Mom has a Lane Bryant card with benefits so we intended to use that but when we went to check out online the American store wouldn’t let us use the card because the billing address was international. We called customer service and they said it was impossible. This makes absolutely no sense because we could go to the Canadian site and have it shipped to Canada but the conversion was off and had us paying more for each bra than we should have been. Finally we said fuck it and just put in our address in Florida as our billing address and hoped for the best. It seems the order was processed so now we are just hoping it doesnt get flagged. Honestly though the whole thing just didn’t make sense. Why not accept your own company card with an international billing address?!?

Anyways, by the time that was dealt with this tea was cold. I took a sip and it was just a muddy mess of spices. Not good at all. I dumped the mug. Probably for the best I didn’t end up reviewing it for the blog.

that sucks, but i’ve also experienced it before on a number of us sites. Sometimes you can get around it the way you did if the credit card doesn’t validate addresses for sites.

If your looking for some bras we have a few nice ones currently at Silver Icing. It’s a Canadian Company out of BC. It’s small, but the clothes are great and affordable. I might be biased though since I’m an SI stylist. But we ship internationally (silvericing.com/helena)

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
