SustainabiliTEA: Bird & Blend Tea Co.

December 17, 2021
Bird and Blend Sustainable Profile

Hello again my friends! Today’s sustainabiliTEA post is an exciting one because this is the first time that I’ve profiled a brand! If you follow my tea reviews, you can tell that I’ve been reaching out to brands that I’ve tried because generally, I’ve followed these brands for some time and already have some idea… Read More SustainabiliTEA: Bird & Blend Tea Co.

Book Review: The Key in the Lock by Beth Underdown

December 16, 2021
The Key in the Lock by Beth Underdown

I received an invitation to review The Key in the Lock because I previously enjoyed The Witchfinder’s Sister (link to my Goodreads review). To be honest, even with such a positive experience, I almost DNF-ed The Key in the Lock because it wasn’t quite what I was expected. But I’m glad I decided to give… Read More Book Review: The Key in the Lock by Beth Underdown

Tisane Review: Alpina by Jasmin Tea House

December 15, 2021
Alpina by Jasmin Tea House

Hi friends! This is going to be a fairly short review because it’s another tisane and unlike Bled Memories, written in Slovene so I don’t even know what’s in it. I bought it mostly because it smelled fruity and I like fruity tisanes. As you can see, the dry leaves are a mix of herbs… Read More Tisane Review: Alpina by Jasmin Tea House

Book Review: The Romanov Empress by C.W. Gortner

December 14, 2021
The Romanov Empress by CW Gortner

When I was younger, I was fascinated by the movie Anastasia. But that’s pretty much where my fascination started and ended – I’ve read one or two books about the last Romanovs, and I’ve read about Catherine the Great, but in general, I’m not familiar with Russian royalty, which is how I completely missed out… Read More Book Review: The Romanov Empress by C.W.

Book Review: The Wives of George IV by Catherine Curzon 

December 11, 2021
The Wives of George IV by Catherine Curzon 

“Throughout the centuries, lots of women have married princes. It is supposed to be the stuff that fairy tales are made of; a confection of dashing grooms and swooning brides and true love that conquers all. Needless to say, the reality was somewhat different.” From the introduction of The Wives of George IV Now that… Read More Book Review: The Wives of George IV by Catherine Curzon

Book Review: Playing with Fire by Derek Landy

December 10, 2021
Playing with Fire by Derek Landy

I’ve read the second book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series and I’m happy to report it’s only taken me a month or so! In my review of the first book, I mentioned that the story reads like the final book in the series. Playing with Fire, on the other hand, is an adventure that sets… Read More Book Review: Playing with Fire by Derek Landy

Tisane Review: Bled Memories by Jasmin Tea House

December 9, 2021

I hope everyone likes tisanes because most of my unopened teas contain absolutely no caffeine! And yes, this tea is from Slovenia and I’m just getting around to reviewing it. While we were in Bled, a friend of mine told me about this tea shop that she found and of course I had to visit… Read More Tisane Review: Bled Memories by Jasmin Tea House

Book Review: Slovenology by Noah Charney

December 7, 2021
Slovenology by Noah Charney

I didn’t go to Slovenia with the intention of buying a book, but I don’t think anyone is surprised that I have! Especially since books are a huge deal in Slovenia – one thing I remember from the free walking tour is that the figure in the square is not a general but a poet… Read More Book Review: Slovenology by Noah Charney

Tour Review: Bled E-Bike Tour

December 5, 2021

Have I really taken a month to blog about a short trip? Definitely, because school has been intense. But I should have expected this because most MBA programmes take around two years to complete but my course lasts for ten months. So anyhow, I really, really wanted to write about this ebike tour my friends… Read More Tour Review: Bled E-Bike Tour
