This week, I’ve been loving…
Tea
You might remember that, a
month or so ago, I did a post reviewing lots of different hot chocolates. It
went down so well that I’ve decided to look into reviewing other products, the
first of which will be teas! I’m a massive fan of teas – herbal, fruit
infusions and even your bog standard cuppa. I’ve been stocking up with various
brands so I can start my taste testing, which has meant lots of tea in the post
over the last couple of weeks. A particularly exciting parcel came this week,
and I opened it to find these adorable (can tea be adorable?!) Teapigs sample packs. I’m
so excited to get tasting them, so keep your eyes peeled for a review post
soon!
Gardening
I’m using the term
gardening fairly loosely – I don’t want you thinking I’m some sort of
green-fingered miracle worker! I’d love to be better at gardening and rather
fancy the idea of growing my own vegetables. I’d like nothing more than to have
a beautiful cottage garden blooming with colours and fragrances throughout the
year. But, sadly, I’m nowhere near that at the moment. But, this week I made a
start on my dream by planting some sunflower and sweet pea seeds. The last time
I grew sunflowers I was in Infant School, so probably about 5 or 6. My
sunflower was amazing though and grew so tall, so I’m keeping my fingers
crossed that I’ll be just as successful this time round. I’m also really hoping
my sweet peas will grow, as it’s not the ideal time to plant them – I should
have done it a few months ago but never got round to it, so here’s hoping I
might just be lucky.
Snail Mail
As I mentioned last week, I’m
trying to take a step back from social media at the moment, as I need to focus
on my life and getting through one day at a time. In some ways it has been
great – I’m not constantly reading about other people doing the things I’d like
to be doing and have had more time to focus on my family and doing little
things for myself. But, I’m also finding I feel more lonely and wonder what I’m
missing out on. There’s no pleasing me obviously! Saying that, a few friends
have continued to send me post, which has been much appreciated. I know a lot
of people don’t like to send post when they may not get a quick reply, and I
can understand that, but I am so grateful that I have some friends who don’t
mind not receiving a reply and continue to send post to cheer me up.

| Some of the snail mail I've received this week |
What has grabbed your attention this
week? I love hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing
something that makes it onto my list next week!
I love both Sunflowers and Tea! Goodluck with the planting adventure. As far as what is on my mind, May is Borderline Personality Awareness Month, so I'd like to mention that as the Month comes to a close.
ReplyDeleteThank you hun - I'll update you all when (if!) they start growing :) I have BPD - is it bad that I didn't realise it was the awareness month for it?! There seem to be so many awareness months in May, which is a bit of a shame. I might have to do a little post about it next week then :) xx
DeleteI think arranging with your friends to send snail mail is such a nice idea, it's so much more exciting to get a handwritten letter than a facebook message! You've inspired me to send a card or something to the friends I don't see as much as I'd like to!
ReplyDeleteAh that's great hun - I'm so pleased that I've inspired you to send some snail mail :) It really is lovely to receive a hand-written letter, so hopefully if you send some post you might get some back too! It certainly beats opening bills and brown envelopes! xx
