a perfect cup of tea

Have you ever bought something because the packaging was cool? 

I do—all the time! I saw this tin of Teaforté tea while Christmas shopping last month and fell in love with its packaging and cute tea bags. I ended up purchasing enough tins for gifts to give to my tea-loving family members along with one for me.

Don't you love the tea bag with the little leaf at the end of it? It's a lot more durable than the typical tea bag, and practical too, because the leaf helps to hold it from falling into the cup.

Beautiful packaging + good taste — now that's a perfect cup of tea!

Doing better in 2013!

I love this quote by Maya Angelou and thought it fit my resolution for 2013 perfectly. Two simple words, do better, is exactly what I want to accomplish in everything I do this year. 

From personal relationships to client relationships—do better.

From home projects to work projects—do better. 

From getting healthier with exercise and eating right—do better.

From finding joy and beauty in simple pleasures—do better.

Happy 2013!
