Sips by



I was so excited last Christmas when my aunt surprised me with a year long subscription to Sips by! It's an amazing company that puts together boxes of teas to send directly to your home, personalized with your taste in mind. Since I had such a great experience, I thought I'd share some of the information in case anyone is looking for clever gift ideas for the tea lovers in their lives!



When I started it at the end of last year, I was prompted to fill out a little questionnaire on their website so that they could get a sense of the types of teas I like and dislike. They used that information to help determine what to include in my boxes. I was pretty open minded when answering the questions, so I ended up with a wide variety of options. That is exactly what I wanted because it gave me the chance to try teas that I might not have normally purchased myself! Below is a glimpse of what the boxes and their contents look like:



Each box came with 4 different kinds of teas to enjoy and enough to make at least 15 cups! I love how all of the boxes included a label inside for the month and special notes about each of the teas. They even provided reusable and biodegradable filters in the boxes containing loose leaf teas.



After each box arrived, I was asked to rate and review the teas through my account online. This helps the tea experts even more in selecting teas for upcoming boxes. It also allow me to earn points for money off additional boxes later. (I didn't end up doing this, but I love that it was an option.) Additionally, on the website, I was able to learn more about each of my teas as well as receive discounts for future purchases from the individual companies.



This picture above is a pretty accurate representation of my reaction every time one of my boxes arrived in the mail this year! It was like Christmas once a month all 2020 long! Seriously, it is a wonderful thing to get for yourself or as a gift for a friend who loves trying new teas too. I really can't recommend it enough! Check it out HERE and let me know what you think...

Shoutout to my aunt Susie for introducing me to Sips by & gifting me w/ my subscription!

Spooky Tea Party

  My latest tea party was frightfully delightful! I asked my friends if there was a theme they would like for my next tea party and they chose 'spooky'. Since it was still summer at the time, I was careful to not include specifically Halloween/fall time details such as pumpkins. Another one of my goals was to make this event feel eerie and dark, while still maintaining a tea party-esque atmosphere, adding touches of elegance amongst the gore! I set the table with these cut-out sugar cookies that are made to look like decapitated people. (Yikes, maybe I should have put a trigger warning at the top of this post?) I used a Christmas gingerbread man cookie cutter, sliced off the heads before baking, and then added some red icing after they cooled to look like blood. For the second dessert idea, I made red velvet cupcakes and decorated them with dyed pink buttercream frosting to look like brains! My favorite of all the food I served were the "finger sandwiches"! (Get it? S...

Murder Mystery Tea Party

I have always wanted to do a murder mystery themed tea party because I thought it might be interesting to combine elegance with just a touch of horror! So this week I finally went ahead and organized one! Special thank you to my mom and dad for helping me with the story line and other details! And thank you also to my grandma, sisters, and the D'Angelo family for attending and participating! For this event I kept the menu relatively basic by preparing simple finger sandwiches (egg salad as well as cucumber) and a fruit tart. To add to the theme, I iced some sugar cookies with black question marks. My mom used the same black icing to draw the outline of a body on top of the cake, but added some colorful flowers to balance out the gruesomeness. ;) The setting was a high school reunion! In attendance was a tough-girl bully, perky ex-cheerleader, glitzy celebrity, exhausted mother, successful business woman, cafeteria lunch lady, and drunken teacher. Each of these party ...
