Flowering tea

This beautiful tea was given to me by a friend from Florida.

First time i tried the tea and i loved it!

So delicate. 

The aroma is amazing!

The little ball swells in hot water

and reveals its beautiful appearance. 

Only five weeks till Christmas!

I am beginning to feel excited)

I have lots of candles

even at breakfast time.

When it's dark i go around and light candles!

Why do we love candles?

Surely they are comforting.

They add nice ambiance.

They add to home decor...

but we have all done it)

Actually it is a great fun!

Taking your own picture in the mirror)

And it is surprisingly flattering too!
