i got some earl grey tea at sainsburys the other day thinking they were tea bags, come to open the box tonight and it was loose leaf! luckily for me, i had a lil strainer for the tea, just brewed a cup now and my my my !! the flavour is so much more DEEPER and YUMMY!
turns out the quality of the leaf is better plus the tea isn't broken up like you'd find in a tea bag, hence the huge ass difference in flavour !

this is a somewhat ancient tea that must be smelled/tasted to be believed!! i was stunned by its depth and smokiness when i first had it! i have only ever had it loose leaf, maybe there are packs available, but dw! loose leaf is super easy! just put the leaves in a little mesh ball (like the pic i've attached, there are variations of this product like with clamp handles, u can find these at the dollar store) and steep it!! im not technical w it at all, i just take it out of the water after ~5mins, and it is delicious and energizing. this is a caffeinated tea

a myth dating from the victorian period, these tiny, decorative glass bottles were wept into by those mourning their loved ones. once the tears collected eventually evaporated, this marked the end of their mourning period.
this myth has been debunked by scientists, with others saying that these bottles were in fact used to store perfumes, but i'm very obsessed with this romantic notion and will be sticking to it!

i see solitude as metamorphosis. you need that time in the cocoon to really check in with yourself and the joy of that comes from how you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
sometimes i spend SO much time with myself that i get SO BORED that I HAVE to venture outside of myself. when i say venture, i mean challenging myself in how i self- express which will in turn, nourish my interactions with others when i choose to seek company.
proceeding to create art, but trying new methods. going down youtube rabbit holes of things i am interested in so i can discover new references. cooking a meal without following a recipe and surprising myself. making the space i am in super cosy (candles, snacks on deck, music, blankets) going on long walks and picking up conversations with strangers through shared observations of life around us. watching music festivals/boiler rooms and dancing around my room like a mad man.
once you feel comfortable in being by yourself, you'll be more aware of what you need from your company and when you seek it, you'll be a lot more intentional about it and cherish it even more.

But WHY do you like what you like?!
Echoing a sentiment from Tyler, the Creator, where he tweeted for people to expand on what they liked about his songs and delve into the WHY (i.e the bridge, chords, riffs)
Truly believe it’s so so important to be able to articulate why things bring us enjoyment, pleasure and giddiness, because that just makes way for one to obsess/ research and learn more about said thing!
This is basically a gratitude post for PI, I just love blagging about what makes this Little Life of Mine more bearable !!!
