SLOANE TEA MACARONS AND ALL THINGS PRETTY

Some days you don't really have a blog topic or a need to share anything personal. Some days you just want to look at some pretty pictures and enjoy a cup of tea..while having a macaron or two! Today seems like one of those days for me. The last two months have been really hectic for me, being a Doctor I pretty much work for myself, so tax season is just not fun. Having to deal with expense reports, and accountants and paying too much money to the government (argh!), has kept me super busy lately. Plus our little downtown experiment of loft living is over, so we moved back end of April, which meant lots of packing and then a lot of unpacking! I feel like March and April just took too much of my time that I completely neglected my blog! I am trying to start again..let's hope I keep it up! Until then enjoy the pretty pictures guys :)

Perfect tea for fall

I started drinking Chai (tradition Indian Tea with spices) about 10 years ago during my 3rd year finals at the university (wow that makes me sound old!)..so anyway, I like the taste, it keeps me awake, it is healthy so why try something else right?! I always try to eat healthy and have often tried incorporation the morning ritual of lemon with warm water, but not being a morning person I found that very difficult! Waking up late and wanting a nice strong cup of my chai is what I needed to get my day started.
It was last month when I was at a conference when I tried some green tea with lemon and honey. Well folks I was hooked! It was light, refreshing, caffeinated and I could finally get on board with this lemon and honey business!
A friend of mine got me a gift box of Davids tea last year, so trying this new tea experience became a whole lot of fun with flavors ranging from chocolate to ginger! And I happened to have a sample of organic honey from The Rosewood Estate Winery (where they make honey wine too..and their Mead Noir is to die for!). And me being me I don't do boring tea for one..I bring out my fave tea cup, my fave green tea from Davids Tea and Pumpkin Macarons from Nadege Patisserie in Toronto...simply heaven!

A Little Dose of Pretty!

My lovely niece got my this beautiful Tea set for my birthday..and I think I am in love! This takes drinking tea to the next level! They cups and saucers come in 6 different colours too! It is no secret I love pretty things, but this set has to be my fave.
Another things I am loving these days, collection by Poppytalk for Target! It is a stunning collection of paper plates and candelabras and all for outdoor entertainment! Check out the whole collection here.

April Pastels

Yay it's April!! I am overly excited because in my books that means winter is OFFICIALLY over! March can be hit and miss, but April (usually) means we made it! The days are longer, even 5-10 degrees feel like 25 after a brutal winter. Yes it rains, but at least I won't have to shovel! All in all nothing but positive things!

Another one of life's simple pleasures..turning over the calender to a new month. And with Anna Bond's art, it means you are in for treat each month! Her art is spectacular, and with this month's City from the "Flip Around the World Calendar" is Paris and I couldn't be happier. So I put together a mini shoot with all things spring, and funny it all looks very "Easter" like, quite fitting I say!

 Here's to little things..I hope you enjoy this month as much as I plan to!
