Defying gravity: Refusing to be held back by a nightmarish past or ugly stereotypes, teen ballerina Michaela DePrince is ready to soar. Read the full story in our June/July issue »

I just started dancing last year and I have so much respect for professional ballerinas. Especially fellow Black women. It’s a beautiful sight!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaant!!! \(^__^)/

Pic of the packaging for my Gyokuro from Ku Cha. If you’re ever on Pearl Street in Boulder, CO you should take a peak into the shop! Very friendly service and a beautiful setup. I also saw several tea pot sets I wanted.

Waaaah! ごめんなさい (~_~;)

It has been such a long time. But I am back!

The boys and I are vacationing in Boulder. Visiting with my family. Today, we took off by ourselves and had lunch at the Dushanbe Teahouse in downtown Boulder. The pic is of me sipping on a delicious Japanese green tea called Gyokuro. I fell in love! It is sweet with no bitterness at all. And it has such a fresh green grassy flavor. Very smooth and creamy.
I wanted to buy a tin but they didn’t have it. However, I did find some at an adorable tea shop on Pearl Street called Ku Cha.
This tea is very expensive and the lady at the shop assured me that it was the best of Japan. And she would know because she was Japanese. :) She gave me specific brewing instructions so I would get the best experience possible… especially since it is not cheap!

If you love green tea, try this. It is absolutely exquisite!

This almost makes me wish I was still in high school so I can rock this to prom!

So, I am a bridesmaid in my friend’s upcoming wedding. She has had her dress for months, but the three of us bridesmaids were finally able to go dress shopping. This dress was one of the first we tried. I loved it, especially when the bride exclaimed, “Omg you look like princess Tiana!!”
Doesn’t it look a little Tiana-like! This dress was so pretty. Unfortunately, we went with a different dress. We needed a dress that would be flattering for all three of us and this one didn’t make the cut.
But, it was fun disneybounding while dress shopping!

*ahem* excuse the bra straps showing. O_o

Cheers!!

This weekend is a special one. It’s OKC Pride!!! I’m excited because I get to meet up with my friends who I never get to see anymore since we moved last summer for Hubby’s job.

I’m drinking my tea black and strong to give me a huge caffeine boost. I’m gonna need it.
Today it’s the chocolate and caramel black teas from Tea Spot. I mixed them again. I decided I like then together!

Happy Pride!!!

안녕!!!

It’s really hot out today. So, I’m having a snack indoors. Iced tea (minus the ice) and whole natural almonds. The tea is just cold brew black tea by Tazo. Normally, I would make a batch of cold green tea but I remembered I had this and I need to use it. It tastes good. Nice and flavorful. And I do *not* add sweeteners!!! The only time I drink sweet tea is when someone else has made it and it’s all they have or if I am eating at McDonald’s because otherwise their tea tastes terrible. As expected, I suppose. McDonald’s is the devil. I’m convinced their fries are laced with crack… I avoid that place like the plague.
Wah! Focus, Nerd Girl, focus. Almonds and unsweetened ice-less iced tea. Easy and delicious snack!

Oh, and isn’t that tumbler really cool? Hubs got it free from work and gave it to me. I will use the heck out of it!

Buenas noches!!!

I didn’t forget tea time. In fact, I had several (like a couple of pots worth) cups of tea throughout the day. I was just too lazy to stop and take a picture. So here it is nearly midnight and I am here for a late night cup of tea. It’s not really tea I’m having right now. At least not the traditional kind. Tonight I’m drinking Sleepytime Vanilla by Celestial Seasonings. It’s an herbal brew. I don’t consider those tea, but oh well! This is a really great “tea” for winding down before bed. No caffeine jitters!

It’s past my bedtime and I don’t want my insomnia to kick in. “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” :-)
