Tazo Wild Sweet Orange Tea Bags

by Joi on April 13, 2007

How amazing is Tazo tea? I can answer that question with just one word: Starbucks!
Starbucks, the king of all that’s right in the world of Coffee and Tea brews and serves Tazo tea in their stores. My thinking is “If it’s fit for a king, it’s fit for me.”
My husband [...]

Gorgeousness! Looks like I’m not the only one feelin’ the Valentine’s Day love. The Paragon has one of the cutest coffee cups I’ve ever laid my eyes or lips on. The Warmhearted Cup and Saucer is a cup of love and would make a very sweet gift for someone you love [...]

Forget about all the other fancier, more complicated recipes. Cinnamon sticks, vanilla, nutmeg, whipping cream? They’re all amazing ingredients for a lot of amazing dishes, but they really don’t have to be invited to a Hot Cocoa party - the only invitations you need to extend are to milk, sugar and, of course cocoa……….

Tea Addicts, Look Alive!

by Joi on July 28, 2006

Somewhere along the line, I became as bewitched by tea as I am coffee. Believe me, that’s saying something big time.

No Sweat Drinkware

by Joi on June 1, 2006

The No Sweat Drinkware above is from The Paragon. They’re perfect all year, of course, but darned near esssential during the summer. The glasses are diswasher safe (on the top rack) and will stand up to just about anything. Best of all, they don’t retain dish liquid odors like so many glasses do [...]
