Tea-inspired Bath and Body Products

This week I'm sharing some tea-inspired bath and body products that I acquired recently.

 

My mom gifted me these hand soaps from Bath and Body Works: Morning Matcha (left) and Sweet Tea & Lemonade (right).

 

I found these adorable Alice in Wonderland lip balms at Dollarama for $2 each. I especially love the vanilla-scented lip balm in a green teapot that says "Drink Me" in English and French!

A Crooked Teacup

Last April, I rescued some vintage bone china teacups from my office's swap fair.

 

 

One of the teacups was Royal Albert's Old Country Roses design.

When I arrived home, I realized that the teacup was crooked!

 

But the flawed teacup is still functional and will be enjoyed at tea time!

Canada Day Teas

We were in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave on Canada Day (July 1), but the scorching temperatures didn't stop me from enjoying some hot teas in my air-conditioned home!

 

I can always count on Dessert by Deb to concoct yummy Canadian-inspired blends!
