the magic of tea.

"A day without tea is a day without joy."

Is there anything more British than a cuppa? The list of ailments that can be cured by a mug of the good stuff is endless - I've listed some of my favourites below!

I've been getting an extra warm fuzzy feeling inside when I drink my tea lately, as I've been drinking this smugglers brew from Cornish Tea. You all know how much I love the south west of England, and after a little trip down to Cornwall to visit my cousin & her wife, I feel like that love has been renewed.

glowing lentil soup.

Look at it glow! Ok, it's not actually glowing. It's not radioactive or made with whatever is in glowsticks - that tastes disgusting, fyi - no, the amazing bit of beetroot is what gives this soup its almighty vibrance. And it should make you feel healthy and glowing too!

I'm sure you're all sick to the back teeth of people banging on about healthy eating and all that New Year stuff... but I'm sharing this recipe despite you, because I made it today and I'm really excited about it. So there. 

hello, 2016!

Cheers to 2016! 

I'm welcoming in this year, along with forgotten feelings.
