I love tea. Lately, I’ve probably been drinking too much. But hey, when you plan on cramming a large writing assignment in one 6:00 p.m. – 4:00 a.m. session, you don’t have much choice- it’s either tea or coffee, and we all know which is the better choice. (#teaftw) Disclaimer: please don’t judge me, I’m…
Did you know that tea is the second-most popular beverage in the world, with water in first place? The plant that tea comes from is the Camellia sinensis, which is native to Asia. A tropical or subtropical climate is required for its cultivation. There are thousands of different varieties of tea. The Camellia sinensis may…
What better way to beat the summer heat than an ice-cold glass of homemade iced tea? No, not that powdered stuff you get at the grocery store, but real steeped tea. Through much trial and error, I have developed a really easy way to make your own iced tea at home without having to buy…

What is it that lure people into coffee shops and keep them in for hours? Is it just the coffee? The people you’re with? The atmosphere? I am guilty of spending too much time and money in coffee shops, and for me, it is all of these things. Whether you are catching up with work, reading a book, or meeting…

Tea has this glorified identity for people who embrace their inner zen. Whereas coffee is stereotypically drunk by people in power suits and hipsters at the corner cafe.…
I agree, Netflix and Tumblr are amazing. But… deep down we know that staying cooped up inside might not be the best way to live. So, I journeyed off to the mountains to have myself an adventure!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t possibly imagine a fall day better spent than sitting in the park, taking in the crisp air and autumnal colours with a fragrant tea warming my hands. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a tea addict year-round. But come September, there’s little that pleases me more than shelving…
Papercraft is the art of making models by folding paper, cardstock, or cardboard. It is basically origami, except the paper can be cut and can contain multiple pieces.
