A Taste Of Clarity
February 4th • Posted in Lifestyle

Usually, I’m a volcano. I am a creative at heart and it’s not a big secret by now, and I have all the ideas all the time, always feeling so annoyed days only come in packages of 24 hours and finding myself frustrated that there’s just too little time to do it all.
This last month I have been busy with work as I’ve never been before, and I’m excited about it like I’ve never been earlier, but on the other hand, after nearly three weeks straight of not seeing a weekend nor a full day of time-out, I start feeling exhausted, stressed out and bleary.
This happens to me so often, I lose focus of what I’m doing because I’m too focused on doing all the things that pop in my mind and do them immediately. I have lately discovered that, while approaching to life with that same enthusiasm and positivity I so much love about myself, taking time to slow down, unplug and be mindful, to consider that you really can’t do it all and now (but you will one day, just not now), it’s so fundamental for a balanced lifestyle.






This year I have set myself a goal to take more time for the things I love and find a section of my days to dedicate to them and nothing more. I have always wanted to have more time to cultivate my hobbies, now it looks so clear to me that to have time for yourself, you have to make some.
The lovely people at JING Tea are focusing on the concept of clarity this year, and their idea of staying present and mindful totally worked as a gentle reminder to me, that I need to switch off more often and remind myself of my goal for 2017. And since I promised myself I was going to do more things I love, of course I’m excited to have tea joining me on the journey.
The tea in pictures is my new favourite thing I can possibly think of at the moment! A mix of fresh and intense JING Peppermint Leaf and their amazing Whole Rosebuds for a floral touch, which not only make my tea taste so smooth and sophisticated, but they are also so beautiful to look at! Together they make the perfect pair.






Last week the Winter sun was less cold than usual and that made me want to take time to go outside for a walk, no technology included, just me and the fresh crisp air. Because I also love that too. That’s something I’m already missing now that the weather is back being miserable, but this means I can spend time cultivating my knitting hobby inside!
And drink tea, always tea…
