I can't accurately review my new teas because I have a cold and I slept with Vicks VapoRub on my face.

 

Didn't stop me from brewing a mug of Hot Apple Spice.  I wasn't expecting much, but even with a cold I feel it made a good first impression.

Ladies, I just wanted to thank you for your kind words, concern and encouragement about my DH.  He's home from the hospital and recuperating.  We are both relieved it was a mild case of pneumonia.  He feels fine, just very tired.

 

I did some decluttering this afternoon. God rid of  assorted bottles of partially used up lotions/potions that were stuck in a closet that I completely forgot about.  I figured if I hadn't missed these magic potions for months it was time to throw them out.  No point in keeping them 'just in case' I might need them.

 

I also decluttered my email of old emails...does that count, lol?  I have a Kindle and I thought that when I deleted an email on the Kindle, it was gone.  Nope.  They are still there when I look at my email on the computer.  Took hours to clean up the mess and get rid of the old emails.  Blech, boring and tedious. 


 

@River Song, I really am so happy for you.  That is truly a gift.  May you and your hubby continue in good health. This will be an extra special holiday season.

@just bee, oh no, the dreaded cold. Feel better.  If the apple tea still made an impression through a cold, that is saying something. If I catch a good sale at harneys before the year is up, I would like to try the peach, apple and maybe another bag of the cinnamon. However, I need more tea like a hole in the head so......I may wait until I need more and then it will be a treat to order.  The black currant seems interesting as well. 

 

So hard to stop when I am kicked into gear.

 

Feel better.

Like I need a hole in the head.  There's a very nice bee print, too.  But these items are in England and I'm here.

 

The mug is fine bone china.  I'd break it before it was even out of the box.

Re: ComPact 2018 – Declutter December

I am continuing to declutter and if I am not decluttering I am at least organizing different areas. Yesterday was my coat closet and dining area.  I had so much in these areas and I have cleaned them up and feel happy. Clutter makes me feel overwhelmed so I dont know why I cant stay on top of it. But it has made me realize 2019 has to be a true use up year with no excuses and that includes groceries.  I also went through a box of paperwork and just tore up all my receipts that I dont need to keep. Geez, did I really buy all of that and those dont even include the receipts you get on line. Some stores are moving away from paper. 

 

I am actually going through a weird feeling.  The more I declutter lately the more spending and bringing more things in doesnt feel good.  Not that I dont buy still, but it doesnt feel as good because now I have to find a place for everything and that feels overwhelming. So strange.

 

I recently got rid of my big dining room table and bought a smaller one. Well, it is taking some getting use to because I feel I dont have the room that I need. However, this might be a good thing because I am hoping it will help me live smaller and put things away like I should instead of plopping them on the table. Time will tell.

 

Have a nice week, Everyone.

Interesting.  I'm having a mug of Vieux Paris.

 

It's similar to Paris but with a heavier dose of bergamot.  I smell it, I taste it.

 

bergamot

 

I should have had this tea last week because bergamot oil, apparently, is a miracle cure.

 

I feel like death this morning so I'll have another mug and see if it fixes that.

I need to try the apple tea without a cold.  To me, it tasted like baked apples with the red cinnamon candies.

 

Black currant isn't bad.  Fruity.

 

My bras were on sale for $12.99 and I thought about ordering but I felt so lousy yesterday that I couldn't even shop.  It just required too much decision-making.  Now the price has gone back up.

 

The no-buy continues.
