The best beverage I've ever had in my life.
If I weren't concerned with driving you crazy, I probably would have written at least three full blog posts by now about my love of Tea's Tea Half & Half Green Tea With Coconut. Seriously, you guys would be saying, "OK, G., I got it. You love it. Stop already." But I just can't stress enough how delicious this drink is and how much I crave it on a daily basis (and for the record, I haven't received any free samples or any contact whatsoever with the manufacturers of this fine beverage). If you like green tea and you like coconut, this is the perfect marriage of the two. The perfect marriage. You can taste the green tea and the coconut equally, and it's not too sweet (it's actually sweetened with pure cane sugar and stevia). Every time I drink it, my face lights up like I'm on a TV commercial and then I lean my head back, smack my lips together and exclaim, "This is just ridiculous." I'm not sure where you can find it in your area, but I buy mine at a local Japanese market here in San Diego (Nijiya Market if you're in SD) and it's about $2.50 per bottle. Worth. Every. Penny.
Lipstick League Question of the Week:
Your three favorite fragrances, name them…
G's answer: This is probably the most difficult LL question I've had to answer to date. If I absolutely have to narrow it down, I'm going to go with three fragrances that I've been wearing consistently for the longest amount of time, which means I haven't come close to growing tired of them yet.
Chantecaille Frangipane, the
original China Rain from Body Time (seriously, this is the first China Rain fragrance ever made, so any China Rain fragrance you've smelled
not by Body Time is an imitation), and
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune. But I also have to give shout-outs to
Demeter Snow,
Philosophy Baby Grace,
Auric Blends Egyptian Goddess and
Fresh Sugar Lychee which are all consistent, go-to fragrances for me. Oh, and an extra special shout-out to
Diesel Plus Plus Feminine as we head into winter because it's my favorite milky, powdery, sweater-wearing scent of all time (and it's super cheap to boot).
