I set up a kettle on my desk, so maybe I’ll drink more of the oolongs and puerhs I have that require short steeps and multiple steepings.

This is one of those mandarin oranges, with (I’m pretty sure) ripe puerh in it. I’ve used about 1/4 of the orange and loosely packed tea for a 60ml cup.

1 rinse, steeps for 10-30 seconds.

I much much prefer the ripe stuff to the raw stuff I’ve tried recently. Much prefer.

This is OK. I don’t think it’s fabulous quality now that it’s been sitting in its tissue paper wrapper in my cabinet for (mumbledy) years. It’s not as scary as I thought it was at first, so this is cool.

Nail polish powah!

OMGsrsly

LOL. Yeah. I need to decide what colour to do for Christmas. I was thinking red, but I’m really not a red nail polish person. So I have a couple glitters (purple and red, but IDK this one is a good red), and a burgundy with red shimmer, and a gold-beige.

i love deep red toe nails. always. my hands – i forgot when i did manicure last time. they chip the same day because of cooking;(

OMGsrsly

I’ll probably do a gel coat over top for longevity. But I found a base coat that actually works, and I get about 5 days wear now, where before it would chip overnight. I use Orly Bonder.

OMGsrsly

I mean, I still get small chips and tipwear over the 5 days, but it’s not like missing half the polish on a nail or something anymore.
