January is a long month in the middle of winter. Let's embrace this quiet time of year by creating cozy vibes in our homes. Here are few ideas that are inspiring me:

Olena Hassell @naughtyteas asks, ‘What does your favorite tea say about your personality?’ Read on to see if she's right. 
👉 Green Tea lovers 🍵
Health-conscious, calm and determined. Green tea is a favorite tea of active people because it may help boost energy and achieve gym and weight-loss goals faster.

👉 Black Tea ☕️
Strong, determined and traditional tea lovers may find black tea to be their favorite type. Black tea is often a choice of busy people that are goal oriented, but conscious of their health too.


👉 White tea 🫖
White tea lovers are stylish, sophisticated, care about beauty and simplicity, as well as delicate and gentle flavors. They seek something different and unique, beautiful and healthy at the same time.

It's been a long stretch of rainy days. I can hear the rain on the roof - it lulls me back to sleep. Just a little bit longer . . . 
The next time I open my eyes, it's well past my usual wake up time. Funny, I don't remember turning off my alarm. The rain, though calm and nurturing, is maybe a little too calm as it takes some self-talk to get out of bed. I try to channel a sweet, sing-songy 'Rise and shine' like my mom use to say, but it comes out more like Eeyore's 'better get up and do the day'. . .
