Tuesday Things.
1. Lemon brownies!! Sign me up.
2. Are you still drinking Poppi? I love it so much and I’ve never liked any soda.
3. Can’t believe I’m saying this but I sort of want to start drinking green tea. I hate tea and think it tastes like dirty water. How do I start? Which brand do I use? What kind do I drink in the morning?
4. Um, no way I could do the viral onion coffee. WHAT!
5. How is the year almost half over? I’m having a meltdown over this.
6. TV things!! Not really on TV, but I took Emilia to see IF last week that was cute.
7. My dad has always talked about this: do things that give you self worth.
8. Kind of want a zero gravity chair for outdoors. Tell me about them!

Oh my gosh, I just read the Self Worth article and it’s amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Onion coffee – nope, nope, nopety, nope
Re: Zero Gravity chairs – I had a pair for a few years. They are comfortable and very sturdy. What I didn’t care for is their weight (which is part of why they are so sturdy). They are heavier than your typical outdoor chair which makes them less easy to move around and still bulky when folded. Ultimately, I chose not to repurchase.
Yes to the zero gravity chairs! So comfortable and they hold up well (in our experience) not sure if it’s still available but kohls had a set of two for $90!
Green tea! Try the Sweet Bee from Metolius Artisan Tea blended here in beautiful Bend, Oregon! So good hot or iced.
You gotta try David’s Tea!! It’s a Canadian company (I’m in Canada) and they have a massive selection!! I’ve been hooked on the flavoured matcha. I drink it every morning and cannot go without it. So good for you too!
Tea is my thing. I have two full cupboards of all different kinds. If you like green tea and fruit, I would try this in the morning. It’s excellent iced or hot. Blueberry Fields Green tea:

If you like floral flavors, a delicate Japanese Sencha tea would be good too. The Chicago Teahouse has excellent tea (the blood orange black is the best iced tea, although not green). They have a good sencha and an iced tea selection that is very fun.

I do not recommend matcha unless you are going to buy high quality (like from the Tea Bar in Oregon) and the proper equipment to make it the correct way. It can be gross if not done right.
Bad tea does taste like gross dirty water, so I highly recommend buying yourself a french press and high quality loose leaf tea. I am happy to send anything from my cupboard to yours to try. I dream of becoming a tea sommelier one day. Le sigh.
Jasmine Green Tea was my gateway to green tea. I love it and drink it every day. If you don’t like Jasmine, I’ve found Twinings Green Tea to have a less grassy taste, as well as a brand called High Road Teas. Their spring green tea is very mild and delicious.
I second Twinings Green Tea – the decaf does not taste like grass either
I love Poppi! And Olipop. I hope they never go away!
The Starbucks iced peach green tea is delicious.
I’m not a huge fan of green tea, but I once had a package of maple green tea from Quebec and it was delicious!
Right now, I’ve been into any kind of fruit tea (peach, raspberry, blueberry). The brand Celestial Seasonings has a fruit sampler at my local grocery store that I love and then I just add honey and ice!
My husband loves Tazo brand Zen tea.
I enjoy Tazo Organic Zen, Numi Gunpowder Green
I love my zero-gravity chairs! The one recommendation I have is to get the extra wide version. I am on the small side and yet, I find the wider chair version much more comfortable and less restrictive than the standard width.
I use Tazo’s Peach-infused green and black tea, make a concentrate and add coconut water and ice. So good, plus electrolytes. You could also add a splash of lemon or sparkling water.
Two ideas for green tea (I don’t love it by itself): Tazo Zen tea has a light mint flavor and is good hot or cold.
We brew tea every morning (I want to love coffee but it is just OK for me) and I use one black teabag, one white teabag and one green. Tastes like regular tea, but has the good-for-you additions found in green and in white tea.
I order my tea from The English Tea Store, https://www.englishteastore.com/
Their ETS brand teas are very good! My daily green teabag is Gunpowder Green. Probably more info than you were seeking :)
