I Visited The New Mapleview Citizen Tea Store
Citizen Tea recently opened their fourth retail location. Great for me as the newest one is in Mapleview, a reasonable distance from my place. I prefer buying tea in person, you can see and smell it before purchasing. If you are not familiar with Citizen Tea, it comes from the founder of Teaopia so isn’t […]

Paint it Pretty Polish Can You Make This Sparkle? Swatches

Paint it Pretty Polish I Dream In Teal Swatches (Holographic Collection)
Another blue from the Paint it Pretty Polish Holographic Collection. I Dream in Teal leans more blue on me than a true teal. Looking at the item page, it does lean more green on them, but definitely a lighter than the darker teal many of us would think. Paint it Pretty Polish I Dream in […]
