There was no way I was going to say no to reviewing their new favors and new bean pastas.
I saw pictures of their new flavors from several bloggers who attended Expo West this year. I have been waiting with anticipation to get my hands on some ever since.

There is something about a rainy day and a cup of tea. Even during the summer I find myself drinking a cup of tea here and there.
I've found tea is a great way to help calm my body down after a long day or even too much food.
Buddha Teas has such a great story (which you can check out here). I absolutely love the aspect that all of their teas are organic and wild harvested. They also see teas as a form of alternative medicine for many people (me too!) and that is why they strive to make the teas as clean and natural as possible from the harvest of the tea to their non- bleached tea bags.




*Disclosure* I was sent a box from Buddha Teas in exchange for a review. 
All opinions are 100% my own

I personally have never had anything but peanut butter my entire life.
So when Artisana Organics asked if I want to try some of their yummy nut butter's, I said "Absolutely!". They sent me a lovely package with a jar of their Cashew Nut Butter and snack packets of all their other flavors.
When I received my package with the goodies, I immediately hopped on pinterest and started looking up recipe's for cookies I could make with cashew butter.
I found this awesome recipe and made the best gluten free cookies I have every made!

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup cashew butter
• 1 cup chocolate chips (use dark chocolate for a dairy free option)

1. Set oven to 350F
2. Whisk the egg and sugar together until well blended. Beat in the baking soda and cashew butter and then fold in the chips.
3. I use a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough. Space them 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
4. Flatten the balls of dough just slightly with your fingers or a spreading knife.
5. Bake for about 12-13 minutes. The cookies will puff up and just barely begin to get golden on the edges. They will look soft and a little under done, but will firm up as they cool.
6. Cool the cookies for a few minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack.

Eshakti is this great fashion company that lets you customize your dress style and size. I didn't have to customize my size too much, but I did make my dress a little shorter to keep up with the very mild winters we have here in Florida.
Eshakti makes getting a dress that fits you in the right way easy and accessible  Also, all their dresses are decently priced. If your looking for a nice dress and a willing to spend just a little more to make sure it fits to your exact measurements, Eshakti is the place for you!

And let me say their customer service is great! The first dress I picked out ended up not fitting me right, so I emailed them and they were more then happy to send me a new dress in a new style! Yippee.

As much as I hate to admit it. I love READING blogs more than actually writing one. Don't get me wrong I enjoy blogging as much as the next person. But sometimes I like just sitting down with a cup of tea, with a New Girl episode playing in the background, and reading other peoples blogs.


Since I am such a connoisseur of blogs and reading them, I thought I would share with you some of my favorites as of late.
