  1. Teavana has two holiday offerings that I am dying to try: White Chocolate Peppermint Rooibos Tea and Pumpkin Spice Brulee Oolong.
  2. I had the pleasure of attending the That’s What She Said Blogger Social at the gorgeous Ligne Roset Designer Furniture Showroom in San Francisco last night. Aside form some wonderful speakers, the highlight of the night was this Noci Bella bar. With hand-made chocolate dipped walnut treat is made using California grown walnuts, honey, pure maple syrup, sea salt, and an organic blend of TCHO chocolate you can’t go wrong. (Special thanks to Trymbl, She Is Media and VigLink for hosting).
  3. I seeded my first pomegranate this week! I usually by the tubs of arils from Trader Joe’s, but was inspired by a viral Facebook video to pick one up whole. My favorite way to consume them right now is to throw a handful in my sparkling water. Yum.
  4. I received my latest custom blend from Adagio Teas this week. It’s a Pumpkin Spice Gingerbread and is to die for. I may have a tea problem.
  5. Sprinkles announced they are now selling cookie dough via mail order. Varieties include chocolate chip, double chocolate, peanut butter pretzel chip, salted oatmeal cornflake and snickerdoodle. Salted oatmeal cornflake? Yes, please!
