Hey all! No I haven’t gone into hiding but I am drowning with heaps of homework. Who knew three courses would require so much time!? On the bright side all my studying paid off for psyc I got 82% on my first exam, yeaa! Life is well, pretty darn boring at the moment but I have been getting more running in!
So I have two sets of product reviews for you (four in total).
FIrst off we have the infamous celestial seasonings tea.. I wasn’t quite able to try the christmasy flavas while I was in Europe but I found them on clearance at the grocery store the other week so I scooped two of those babies up
Not a fan – I usually love mint tea but this one was just not my thang!
2. Gingerbread Spice
I quite liked this one. It tastes pretty much like regular chai tea but a bit more sugary (?).
I was quite bumbed I couldn’t find the sugar cookie one but I did see another flavour I would like to try, vanilla maple (yummz).
Next up we have Wild Garden Hummus Dip.
1. Regular – I liked this one but I think it need a bit more flavour to it imho.
2. Sun-dried tomato – Seriously can’t really tell the difference between the two except this one has a kinda revolting orange colour to it right when you open the container but it was still yummy in my tummy!
I’m going to try the garlic flavour next. Anyone not a fan of garlic? I LOVE it!
Now onto a completely different topic, running! I started having problems with my knee while I was in Italy and I just kinda sucked it up but my knee was progressively getting worse so I decided to take some action because it was almost getting to painful to take the stairs at school :O
I decided to hook myself with some new runners that help with my over pronation problemo. The solution a ballin’ new pair of ASICS… to bad the price tag wasn’t to ballin.
I also started taking glucosamine tablets to help out my joints since I am secretly eighty years old not nineteen.
If my knee gets better within the next few weeks I may sign up for a half marathon that happens on may 2nd. But I’m still not entirely sure if I want to do it that weekend since I signed up to do a 10km the week after. There is also another half marathon on June 27th which I will probably do.
And lastly, THE OLYMPICS ARE IN 11 DAYS! I’m so excited! Vancouver is going to be nutzo for two weeks straight! A bunch of my friends are going downtown for the opening ceremonies to just soak up all the excitement and also because we are to poor to pay $600 for a ticket (no joke that’s the price tag for one ticket to the opening ceremonies!). I picked up a Canada hoodie and water bottle the other day to show off my Canadian pride
Now I’m off to ptfo like my baby coop did… once I read some more Hamlet… I hate English lit sometimes! I will try to post more regularly to mes amis!

I have been so addicted to tea lately, so loved your post.
And I’m constantly putting up pics of my kitty, so love that too!! Really nice blog!
I was never able to find ANY of the seasonal flavors
Bummer.
I hear you with the knee. I injured mine in 9th grade and had surgery but 6 years later it still gives me trouble. Double bummer.
SO exciting about the Olympics though! That will be a blast!
i hoep your knee feels better son! i like the packaging of that hummus dip- i’ve never seen that before, lol. good job on your exam!

I love the packaging of the hummus to but it’s a glass container so I’m always scared I’m going to drop and break it haha
I have that gingerbread tea! It’s one of my favorites
I love the new shoes (because they’re pink) & I’ve heard good things about Asics.
I love pink runners! My last three pairs have been pink

i still haven’t been able to find candy cane lane! i sort of neeeed to try it bc mint tea is my favorite. even if you gave it a thumbs down haha
I’d happily send you my candy lane tea but its missing one tea bag haha. But I’m not sure how keen you are on already opened tea
That could be a picture of my kitty! Identical. Cat twins, perhaps?
Also, I have those running shoes and I love them so much. I actually have 3 pairs.
I like candy cane lane and not gingerbread spice
It was too gingery for me.
I love those hummuses!!!
