We are 5 for 5 over here! Hehe. (covering mouth smiling emoji)

Tho I retired in November, I have still been enjoying leisure Teas with my favorite people. I of course went to Caviar both months it was offered, did the best collab with Muir’s in January to date, was so honored to get to visit Crown & Crumpet before their tea room in Ross closed, and then got to take the Huz to Rosewood today!

The MOMENT I walked into Rosewood Sand Hill last August, I already knew I was coming back. Couldn’t wait to take my husband because I wanted to share it with him! Unbeknownst to me, they would start a new collaboration with Flamingo Estate Teas (in Nov 2025) and we’d get to try an entirely new menu!! I’m not usually a smokey tea type of girl…but I was intrigued. So happy I went out the comfort zone cuz I got to try AND SAVOR their Smokey Rose Tea. Ugh, had a good 5 cups! Their sandwiches and sweets were slammin of course too,..exactly why I returned. So happy the Huz got to try and we had the best time.

If you read my Rosewood post, you’ll know all about the candle we were all captivated by. I’ve been wanting this thing for 7 months k! We shared the most gorgeous walk to their spa and it was finally in my hands and waiting to come home with me!! Dood- our kitchen smells like a 5-star hotel lobby now and we can’t get enough. Best purchase in 2026 so far, hehe.

Other than Tea’ing it up with my peeps (ew, who says that), I’ve been living my prayer since 2024. Aside from working my day job and providing a home for my family, I have been living in Quiet like I’ve always wanted. Away from my phone, away from socials, away from overbooked calendars of commitments…and just enjoying my family. Being a wife, a mother, servant of God. And when I need a break from the “norm” I’ve always craved, I have my books. Currently in the middle of Viola Davis memoir. My health is unchanged. While parts of my body are deteriorating, I’m doing more physically. (I know, that doesn’t sound like it makes sense huh? But it’s okay, cuz my body hasn’t made sense for years.) Once I was done with the final test + lab + specialist + email result…and they said “there’s nothing more we could do for you” and “you will be in pain for the rest of your life”… I just wanted to live. For however long I get to, I just wanna live. So that’s what I’m doing. (happy smiley face emoji)

Thank you ALWAYS to the hundreds and thousands of you who visit and read my website everyday. My numbers have NEVER been so steadily high. I’m not sure what I can attribute that to!? Haha. But I am most grateful there are still people interested in what I have to say. And as long as there is, I will do my best to give you fun little updates on here! Love to yall.
