Tea Time - Some recent Teavana Fall Tea Purchases

One of the best things I love about fall, is the cooler weather makes for amazing snuggling with a good book while burning a lovely candle and drinking a cup of hot tea. Teavana is one of my favorite stores for loose tea, but I also visit several local ones around my area (which are also amazing).

This time around I purchased:

1. Aztec fire- A combination of chocolate and strawberries with a kick of hot peppers. This is a spicy chocolate lover's paradise. The chocolate taste is very strong, and the spicy peppers are very mild. All together this is a very interesting taste. 

2. Tulsi Dosha Chai - Probably one of my all time faveoruite teas that I have ever purchased at Teavana. It's a rooibos tea (red tea, and not necessarly a tea), so you can drink this anytime. This has strong notes of ginger, pepper, nutmeg, cloves and big pieces of cinammon. This tastes amazingly sweet though and makes a very delicous chai late with vanilla almond milk. Yum! 

3. Pumpkin Spice Brule Oolong - This is an oolong tea meaning it has caffeine. This has pumpkin seeds, white and black chocolate, undertone of sweet spice and mocha. This is delicious and perfect for fall. 

Hope you all are as excited about Halloween tomorrow as I am. 

Happy trick and treating tomorrow

Hi everyone,

Early this month, I got the chance to travel to Maine. I can't imagine a more perfect time to visit Maine then October. I got to see Portland Head light and also took a lighthouse boat tour. Loved Maine and I can't wait to go back. Here are some pictures to share with you:

Hope you all have had a great day.

Butter London Champers! Pure Rose Gold goodness in a bottle

When I think of fall and winter, I think of berry, maroon, reds and darker nail colors, but I also love the shimmer of the gold or rose golds to put me in the mood for the festivities and the holidays. Butter London Champers is one of those mesmerizing rose gold colors that makes me think of glasses of champagne and the holidays. It's so lovely on the nails.

Hope you all are staying warm and having a great day

Lots of love

Zoya Nephratiti Swatch

I was browsing the nail polish isle yesterday at Ulta and zoomed into this color immediately. This is a very deep red which makes a huge statement. It has a deep cranberry hue which makes this the perfect holiday nail polish. The below is two coats. I love this color and I know I'll get a lot of wear out of this polish this holiday season.

Hope you all have had a lovely Monday.

Lots of love

Essie For The Twill Of It swatches - Essie's 2013 Fall Collection

Essie's for the Twill of It is such a gorgeous color. It's a silver based color with a ton of purple, blue and green duechrome. This is perfect for Autumn because it's dark but it also has a ton of lovely colors. It's a nice change from all the black or dark navy colors that companies always bring out during this time. It changes as you move your hands and depending on what the light catches.

I love this color.  The application was amazing. It went opaque with one coat. :)

Hope you all are as excited about Autumn as I am and are having a lovely week.

Butter London Shag Nail Polish Swatch! The most perfect fall color

Hi everyone,
I am so excited that september is here because it means autumn is around the corner. Autumn is of my favorite seasons. I was at Ulta recently browsing the isles and noticed a Butter London polish that is so perfect for fall. The color is called Shag and it's a burnished copper bronzy color that makes me think of leaves changing colors. The finish of it is a gorgeous metallic shimmery with a red undertone that warms up the skin.

The polish looks amazing with one coat but I always put two for good measure. I love this color. 

What do you guys think?

Hope you all have had an amazing weekend.

Stella & Dot and House of Harlow Haul

Hi Guys,
I've purchased a couple of items from Stella & Dot and House of Harlow. I love all of these pieces of Jewelry but the House of Harlow 1960 Station Necklace is the star of the show. I already own this necklace in black and love it but the red is just as eye catching. It dresses up any outfit and it's so nicely made.

Here is my latest video on these pieces:

Hope you all have had a great week.
Lots of Love
