It’s also Lemon Chiffon Cake Day! Did you know that? 💭 Harry Baker; yes that’s his last name, Baker 👨🍳 😊 (1883 - 1974) is credited with creating this recipe; an insurance salesman turned caterer. He kept the recipe a secret for 20 years! He then sold it to General Mills, and the recipe spread in the 1940’s and 50’s via marketing materials with the name “Chiffon Cake.” In 1948, it was released and published in a pamphlet with Betty Crocker. Chiffon Cake: a fluffy, light dessert with a pleasing experience that dances on your palate. Bake it with lemon and you have a freshness and sweet yet tart taste on your tongue. An ideal complement/pairing with your Lemon Chiffon Cake is Earl Grey tea, one of the most recognized teas in the world. Thanks to the Oil of Bergamot, which gives this black tea it’s citrusy notes.

First Monday of Spring!
Sharing some #mondyamotivation and toe-tapping, and get up off your butt, dancing music for you to rock your day! After some high energy, kick-butt movement doing a kickboxing workout, this a.m. I was motivated to slay the day and kick fear’s “*Ss!” out the door! 🦵 🥾 There’s something about listening to music and/or dancing that gets you motivated, when you’re not feeling so motivated. There’s always “a song for that” mood or funk you're in. Music improves your mood, and has a multitude of benefits on your body, soul and mind!
I listen to music almost all the time. I listen while working, reading, studying, cooking, baking, gardening, and barbecuing. We listened to music when @scobeautygroup was enhancing my features before a photo shoot. I danced when @thevioletstef took photos at the beach! Music has a powerful way of uniting people, whether singing worship songs and hymns in church, singing anthems at events, singing a lullaby to your babes or singing with friends at concerts. Looking forward to when we can gather at events, sing, listen to music and #celebratethespecialmoments Like my most favourite musician, rock star and gorgeous man @bonjovi says “Keep the Faith!” 🙏 While we’re waiting for these fun times, you can order 📲 👩💻 #teaboxes 💝 🎁 for your special peeps, enjoy tasty treats, reminisce, make new memories, listen to music and share a cuppa together. (virtually or physically-distanced) When we pour ourselves into others, we are #spreadingjoy and “filling their cup.” What type of music do you listen to? Who are you going to go to a concert with soon? Drop your comments below! Save this post as a reminder for you!

He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed (but did not create) a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot.

Are you doing a happy dance? 💃 It’s Friday baby! It’s also thankful 🙏 Thursday since @dr.bonniehenry announced yesterday:: "Outdoors is where we need to focus right now. So being able to have those important connections that we need, but do them in a way that's not going to put people at risk.” “You can meet friends outside and have a coffee, have a chat, have a connection, have a picnic in the park,: Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Thursday.” This is your cue to be grateful, shout for joy, and safely gather with your ten while sharing a cup and a glass of cheer #spreadingjoy “Eating outdoors makes for good health and long life and good temper, everyone knows that.” - Elsie De Wolfe (1859 - 1950) American actress, author and interior decorator (an icon to this day, revered as America’s first decorator.) Good food is much sweeter when you share it with friends and family and that makes for great times and creates fond memories! Do you love being outside sharing delicious food and making memories with loved ones and friends? Who doesn’t love that? Being outside is fun! It is scientifically proven beneficial for us! It’s good for our soul, brain and body! It boosts our energy, boosts our immune systems, is good for our vision, enhances creativity, restores our focus, provides us with free aromatherapy and the natural sunlight (when it’s actually shining), helps mitigate pain. According to psychologists, being exposed to nature, helps us release the pressures of life and society. You have all experienced various kinds of pain and pressures of life this last year of covid. It is time to take care of you! 😊 Being outdoors with friends, evokes feelings that remind us to value the most important things in life: relationships, caring, sharing and community! ♥️ “Everyday is a picnic when you’re with friends.” - Winnie the Pooh 🐻 Now tell me, why wouldn’t you want to be outdoors? 🙋♀️ Where will you sip and savour your al fresco meal? Who will you invite to “hang out” with you? #lmk Gather your special people for an event #irl You can enjoy the benefits of friendship, health and #teabox treats together! 💃 😀❤️☺️ ☀️ 😎 🍵 ☕️ 🍷 🥂 🍻 🍰 🧁 🥘 🌳 🌺 🌸 🌻 📲 #tea #teatime #afternoontea #taketimefortea #taketimeforyourfriends #alwaystimefortea #thetealady #friday #fridayvibes #fridayfeels #nature #outdoors #picnicinthepark #thankyou #cheers #celebratethespecialmoments #seemomentsinlife #seefriends #seegatherer #bossbabes #womeninbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #events #langley #fraservalley #yvr 📷 @clematc 📷 selbst.de 📷 grapeexp_cindy 🖼 @thetealadyrita 🖼 @signature_experience_events |
