Only one more day to go in my Advent calendar, and today’s tea is White Cranberry Bark, a fruit infusion with dried cranberries and white chocolate. It also contains dried papaya, apples, raisins, elderberries, and hibiscus blossoms.The mixture sounded delicious when I read the description.

Tea Advent Calendar Day 22 – Candy Cane Crush
Today’s tea is truly Christmasy with chunks of peppermint flavoured white chocolate, pieces of crushed candy cane, and snowflake shaped candies, mixed with black tea. Although I’m not a huge fan of any kind of mint, I do like a good candy cane once in a while, so I looked forward to trying this tea. I think it has actually been a seasonal tea at David’s Tea for a couple of years, but I don’t recall having tried it.
Tea Advent Calendar Day 21 – Hot Chocolate
Hot Chocolate is a mixture of pu’erh and black tea, and is the only chocolate tea I have ever tried, and actually liked. I have been a fan for a couple of years, so when I pulled the drawer this evening and saw it I was very happy. Only 3 more days left in the Advent Calendar, and although I had a quick peek at a few last week, I didn’t look at all of the upcoming flavours, so I’m anxious to see what the remaining days have in store.
Tea Advent Calendar Day 20 – Carrot Cupcake
Only a few more days left for my Advent Calendar! In some ways I’ll miss blogging every day, and in others I’ll be happy to go back to my average of 2-3 posts per week. It’s been hard to find time to craft since I started blogging about tea every day, so as a result, my blog has been pretty craft free this month. And I have to say, I’m feeling the pain! I think I’m going through craft withdrawal or something!
My Weight Loss Journey – Week 42
Weight Watchers changed their plan on December 3rd, so this was my second weigh in after the change. Last week I had a moderate week but this week was great! I lost 3.6 pounds for a total of 84.4! I am now 1.6 pounds away from my new year goal of 200 pounds! It’s so exciting! I really had no idea if I would be successful when I started this journey at the end of February, and so far it has been much better than I ever dreamed! I just have 2 weeks of hard work in front of me to make that goal for the year. Not that I’ll be finished, but it will make me feel good to know that I made that goal.
