I love baking scones so when it was time to make this gift basket for one of the best realtors ever, I wanted to create something special. Wondering if I should add breakfast/brunch items to the menu in 2022…what do you think? 🤔

Also, tea ranks as one of the best food/beverage gifts. 😉

Hey love, this is your midweek reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup. A few years ago, I listened to a talk by @lisa2motivate + she shared that you have to love people from your saucer...your overflow. This keeps your cup full.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are three ways to fill your cup (save this + send it to a friend who can use some motivation):⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Set yourself up for quick wins first thing in the morning. Whether its making your bed, taking 10 minutes for yourself or breaking down a large task into bite-sized pieces that can be achieved quickly, you’ll feel accomplished. A great way to start your day for sure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Take your own advice. I made time for tea today. You’d think that I do this every day, but nope. I get caught up in the hustle + bustle of life too. A lot of the time, what we share with others is really our mind’s way of counseling ourselves as to what we need.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Get outside. Feel the breeze on your face. Take in some sun. Feel the rain drops on your hands. Listen to the sounds. Look at the birds fly across the sky. Give yourself a minute to retreat back to yourself...not who you need to be for anyone else.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With love, Trista 💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My mission is to elevate + bring ease to tea time. That being said, its important to me that I offer quality products + services that do just that.

Amber rock sugar sweetens your tea without changing the flavor profile of your favorite Ora teas (and it works in coffee too). A little goes a long way.

The sugar is also packaged intentionally. These glass tubes are beautiful enough to be on the counter top + are reusable/recyclable. Find them in the Shop!

Another month is here + its one of my favorites. Not only is it my birthday month, its also the month when most of us focus on gratitude.

Today, I’m feeling grateful for the reminders to trust the process + run my race. My support system has been exactly what I’ve needed + the little nods from the Universe have been undeniable.

What are you feeling grateful for?

Hey, Boo!! 😂

It was a blast making this cake. I usually don’t write on cakes, but I had to make an exception. The cake is red velvet with vanilla-bourbon buttercream.

Have a Happy + Safe Halloween!

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Remember, you can't give what you don't have. Here are 3 ways I fill up my cup:

1. Quiet moments with my favorite tea + a good book or playlist.
2. Taking the time to do something nice for myself - washing my hair, a face mask or getting a mani/pedi.
3. Spending quality time with family + friends

Tea time is a great way to relax and recuperate. Try Winter Blend, Ora Signature or Manipura Mint, some of the best selling calming tea blends.
