Tea Talk, Volume 6.

If we were sipping tea together this morning, I’d be drinking black with sugar with a side of biscotti cookies because my mom gave me an extra package she got from their last trip to Costco. I have some chai and jasmine green, if you’d prefer that instead. Cashew milk and honey, too.

I’d tell you about how my academic life has been a whirlwind ever since spring break, which ended a whopping week ago. I was on campus for over 30 hours last week, and it’s shaping up to be another long week ahead. The countdown is on for graduation, my friend (just 495 days!). I’d also tell you all about the funny stuff the kids do in my literacy group on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Literally had a girl hyperventilating and crying because her classmates didn’t raise their hand to speak. Oh, to be five again. So many problems.

I’d let you in on my new hair care secret that has literally changed my life for the better: MoroccanOil Hydrating Shampoo & MoroccanOilHydrating Conditioner. I am telling you that it is a game changer. I’m talking three nights since my last wash + two workouts later and I don’t even need dry shampoo. It’s a little pricier than what I’d normally spend, but I typically wash my hair only twice a week (and I spend a pretty penny to color it), so I figured it was worth it.

And then I’d tell you that I wish we could catch up even more over bottomless mimosas this weekend, but my mom and I are road tripping up to St. Augustine Beach to visit my grandparents. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve made the trip over together (like, five years) but if there’s one thing I learned from attending Ryan’s grandpa’s funeral service over the weekend, it’s that there is no time like the present to spend quality time with the people you love.

I would probably squeeze my side of the chat into three minutes or less so I can get back to eating all the biscotti cookies…and listen to what’s going on with you, of course.

What would you tell me over tea this morning?
