thanks! Week seems ok so far :fingers crossed:

Stash is SO good for bagged stuff, but looseleaf is the best. (Mild tea snobbery, sorry!) Haha, awww.

Well that's good news!! :-)

I used to go to Teavana and buy loose but they closed a few years ago. Then last year I grew a bunch of tea plants and none of them taste very good to me. I think I mentioned Teeccino and they're my new favorite teas. They're all caffeine free cause I can't do caffeine anymore and they're super tasty!! I buy the bags and the loose both. But the loose is my favorite. (Vanilla Nut)

definitely.

I love your frame combo! those blue waves and black flowers go so well together

Two different artists but almost as if they planned them to go together! When I first saw how good they looked together I was really happy!! :-) :-P

it's really great when items form that kind of serendipity!

Exactly!! Just like yours!! Very nice!! <3

Yeah Starbucks bought Teavana out and closed their stores and I'm still mad. Teeccino. I'll google search, but my tea cabinet is overflowing. :)

I was sad went it left. I didn't know it was Starbucks fault. Grrrrrrr! So the Teeccino comes in tea bags and loose. I like both but I make the loose in a French press and it's so good! Any of the loose ones are really good and they have the stank! LOL! That's what I call it when it's rich enough to make me not sad I can't drink real coffee. :-P

From what I've heard, anyway. I'm sure there's reasons you can google if you're really curious. Oh that's awesome. <3

I Googled it and it was interesting. Still in the back of my mind Howard Schultz was worried about competition. I know that's not what the article said though. lol

Oh, what's the real story? Hehe

It just says he bought it then closed it a few years later - "due to persistent underperformance and to focus on its core business of hand-crafted specialty tea and coffee beverages" so who knows what actually happened. Seems weird you can start a business like Starbucks but can't keep another business ya bought after you became a billionaire, afloat.

Ugh, that's some crap, isn't it? An excuse! I think he thought Teavana was a competitor.

That's exactly my thought too! How are you feeling today? I'm my usual tired. :-P

Ick, capitalism :P I'm okay! Physical therapy started up for me today, so I'm HELLA sore, but otherwise fine :D

and now it's Wednesday. I slept well again last night! first time in a few days :D

Physical Therapy sounds intense! <3 If you don't mind me asking, what for?

That's great! 👏 My FitBit said I slept 8 hours and 45 minutes with 1 hr 47 min of deep sleep. Yayyyy for both of us! :-)

I have arthritis in my hip. And I'm hypermobile. The two things go hand in hand, honestly.

heya dear, no worries. i have been around a LOT less lately myself. the site has defiantly loss its fun factor for me :s hope your doing well and you never filled me in on your birthday vacay :)
