Tea Party // 5


Here is our 6th tea party!! I'm so excited that this activity is going strong, and I'm really starting to look forward to Tuesdays and our little parties! Here are the questions this week, and as usual, my answers are below!

1/ As per usual, what are you ordering?
2/ Do you have a go-to uniform during the warmer months?
3/ What is a good pick-me-up that you rely on? Something that always lifts your spirits when you are having a rough day?
4/ If you could win a ticket to any location, and spend a week there, where would you go and who would you take?
5/ What is your very favorite, cannot-live-without beauty product?

My answers:

1/ Earl grey tea with soy milk and (too much) sugar. I'm tired today and could use a little lift. 
2/ Dresses! And my red knee length skirt has been pairing quite well with my favorite blouses. 
3/ A cup of tea usually does the trick for me. That and a yoga class. And a movie. 
4/ I would go to Greece with my boyfriend. I've wanted to go there forever and it would be quite the adventure. 
5/ My new favorite is my NARS blush in Orgasm. I'm aware that half the planet owns it so the secret is out but I would like to add my vote for this product as all-time best. 

I can't wait to read your answers!!

  2. Hi there!

    1) Hot chocolate - the UK is pretty cold this month, even though it is supposed to be summer!
    2) I always fall back on jumper, dresses, leggings and flat boots. Cosy!
    3) My pick me up is my cat Tammy. I'm obsessed with her and if I have had a bad day, I go home, scoop her up and have some kitty cuddles. Never fails.
    4) Funnily enough, the bf and I are talking about doing a similar thing for our holidays this year. We are too busy to organise, so may go to the airport, with a bag and get a last minute flight, only choosing the destination there and then. I need sunshine though!
    5) I can't live without lip balm. I buy natural handmade lip balms in lots of scrummy flavours. I cycle everywhere so I really need it when my lips get dry from the wind.

    Until next time!

    2/ Like what Clairebelle said below Ireland is also having a very cold and wet spell so I'm in my wellies but with a cute dress on.
    3/ My housemates :)
    4/ I would love to go back to Zanzibar. I went backpacking there 3 years ago and had the time of my life.
    5/ MAC Lipsticks

  4. 1.) since I'm a little chilly this morning.. I ordered a extra hot caramel machiatto! mmm
    2.) Hmmm I would have to say a maxi skirt! I seem to be living in those lately
    3.) I love to see comments on my blog and all the nice things people say! It really lifts my spirits. Oh and SHOPPING :) haha
    4.) I too would love to go to Greece with my boyfriend! It's one of the top spots! We were going to do a big Europe trip this summer but its been pushed back!
    5.) Lately I've been pretty obsessed with Benefits "High Beam" its a cheek and eyebrow enhancer.. it makes you look so fresh and dewy! obsessed!

  5. 1/ A simple vanilla latte. I've been too over-the-top lately, so this should be just fine.



    2/ I am addicted to this style of dress from Forever 21; it's 3/4 length sleeves, fit & flare style, breathable cotton. I am IN LOVE with it, I have it in three different colors. And then I pair that with my crochet gray Toms!


    3/ Watching Downton Abbey helps, as does emailing my friend Jessica. She's one of the most encouraging people I know. And being cuddled by my husband, Dan. And having someone pray over/for me.


    4/ I DREAM of going to the UK, and I would take my husband and my parents!


    5/ This was a toughy, because I really like all of the beauty products I use, but I feel as though they could be interchangeable with other brands/types. I guess my Clinique facial 3 step system, because it keeps my face oil-free! xoxo Happy Tea, Kendra!

  6. Number 5 is my favorite! NARS Orgasm is my favorite blush color ever! It works on so many skin tones :)

  7. Hello girls,

    1. Today I would order a strawberry tea and maybe eggs too - your photo has made me feel peckish.
    2. I would love to say a cute floral dress but the heat makes me go for practical rather than pretty and I end up in denim shorts and a white tee and my go-to flip flops. For work in the heat, then I'd go for a chiffon skirt with lots of movement and a light blouse to keep cool.
    3. A good cup of tea, a cuddle on the sofa with my fiance and a quick phone call with my mum...oh and a look out of the window to realise I'm in Canada fulfiling my dream. That usually sets me straight :)
    4. I'd like to go somewhere like Madagascar. But only if I could have a guide like Sir David Attenborough?
    5. I have finally found the perfect foundation. Clinique anti-blemish. It covers a multitude of sins and helps main healthy clear skin. What more could a girl ask for?!

    Already looking forward to next week

  8. It's funny how I dreamt of leaving the UK and others not from the country dream of visiting it. Where abouts in the UK would you like to go? Some parts of our countryside are spectacular.

  9. 1/ A strawberry and kiwi smoothie. It sounds really good right now.
    2/ Maxi dresses and maxi skirts. There so light and comfy but still cover me legs if I've been lazy and haven't shaved my legs ;-)
    3/ I'll text my husband just to say Hi or I love you. Knowing I have him to talk to is always a pick me up.
    4/ Disney World, my favorite place in the entire world! And I would totally take my husband cause he loves it too!
    5/ A good foundation! I have difficult skin so having a good foundation to start with is a must.

  10. 1. I ordered a nice strawberry smoothie today
    2. In the summer I am always way too lazy to put in effort getting dressed so I almost always end up in jean shorts and a t-shirt.
    3. When I'm having a rough time a little bit of quiet me-time always helps. Either reading my book or catching up on blogs or crocheting.
    4. I'm with Cara, I'd love to go see the UK. Especially after all this heat, I could use some colder weather and grass that isn't brown and crunchy. Plus having the ocean nearby wouldn't hurt. And I'd actually want to go alone. I've always dreamed about traveling all by myself.
    5. I can't live without my Chapstick. I have one in every bag I own, and in every room of my apartment.

  11. This is lovely:D

    Here are mine:
    1. ginger tea with honey and some pumpkin pie
    2. layers and cardigans
    3. a cup of tea, a nice cd and petting my cat
    4. I'd go to Tokyo with my mom, we've always wanted to do that, but seeing it's very far away and very expensive it hasn't happened yet
    5. a little jar of black creamy eyeliner and a good brush for it
