5/31/2022 0 Comments May 31st, 2022Do you know the difference between macarons and macaroons? 🙋🏻♀️
You know, don't you; these cookies both taste delicious!! 🤤 😋 Do you sometimes mix up the two? The spelling? (not to be confused with the revered dance tradition of the 90’s, the Macarena! 😂 The word macaron (pronounced mak-a-ROHN is an Italian derivative “maccerone” which means “fine paste.” the word macaroni, the italian pasta comes from the same root word. The macaroon, pronounced mack-a-ROON, with two “o’s” is an American word. The macaron & macaroon are not the same; they are two different types of confections, sharing a European lineage. Stories of the origins of the macaroon abound. The most popular is that the macaroon is a variation of the French macaron adopted by the American population. When preparing these delectable treats, the macaron is difficult, time-consuming & requires great patience, skill & a lot of practice. The macaroon however, can be whisked together in a few minutes, taking only about 15 minutes to make. #clickonlinkinbio for the recipe. 📱 A macaron’s base is meringue & a macaroon’s base is coconut. The macaron is made up of almond flour, egg whites & sugar. The macaroon is made up of grated coconut, egg whites & powdered sugar. The macaron has a delicate crust, like an eggshell, with the inner texture being meringue. The macaroon texture is dense, lumpy & has a chewy, homebaked feel because of the shredded coconut. This creates that signature texture & taste which makes this cookie extremely sweet. The macaron is filled with fruit jams, buttercream or ganache & it’s not overly sweet. The macaron comes in a wide variety of flavours & colours. When you choose to indulge in either of these cookies, you and your tastebuds will be happy. 😃 You deserve to share moments with others and delight in these delectable delicacies! You will be even happier, when you indulge in these tasty treats with your friends!

It’s #nationalwineday today! You don’t need to wait for a national day! 😂 Over here, it’s coffee in the morning, tea in the evening and wine to #celebratethespecialmoments on the weekend and #specialoccasions 🍷 Margaritas too!! 🍹 According to the Mayo Clinic, a trusted resource - “Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.” “Antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart. A polyphenol called resveratrol is one substance in red wine that's gotten attention for its health benefits. Alcohol itself may have some protective effects when consumed in moderation.” “The resveratrol in red wine comes from the skin of grapes used to make wine. Because red wine is fermented with grape skins longer than white wine, red wine contains more resveratrol. Simply eating grapes or drinking grape juice might be a way to get resveratrol without drinking alcohol. Red and purple grape juices may have some of the same heart-healthy benefits of red wine.” What are you sipping? Tea, coffee or wine?

Moderation is key. 🔑 5/24/2022 0 Comments Sharing, caring, giving and gifts.Do you enjoy sharing and giving? Yeah you do!! Friendship, laughter, tears, kindness, tea, coffee, food, desserts, books, gifts & more!
When you share, you feel better; it’s good for your health, promotes gratitude, empathy & compassion. * Love * Friends * Kindness * Peace * Time Feelings; even messy ones...your good friends will understand. You can make your own choices without having to justify them. Tea, coffee, chocolate, gifts & whatever makes you happy! Think about when you were kind to a stranger or when someone was kind to you. Hopefully, you received a positive reaction; it’s inherent to your nature. Each time you are kind to someone or someone is kind to you, it is scientifically proven you are happier. When people perform random acts of kindness, gratitude increases, which releases positivity in the world. The one receiving the act of kindness has shown, in turn, are being kinder to others they come in contact with throughout their day. Positive vibrations from acts of kindness are like when you throw a rock into a pond; rippling out and bringing waves of joy! What are some ways you enjoy sharing and giving? You can share teaboxes with your special peeps! Your brain will love you & (so will your friends when you get some for them) 😉 🎁 💝 as dopamine, oxytocin & serotonin are released,your feelings of pleasure will increase & your relationships will be stronger.

Mondays are sometimes challenging. Other days too.The struggle was real today. Earlier today, was (past tense) struggling and procaffeinating a bit about what I was going to get ✅ 1st on my “to-do” list. Yikes! Then, immediately the thought came to mind: wait a sec...start! and get it girl! Stop doubting yourself, believe in yourself, you got this, you create the success and are capable of achieving whatever that looks like for you! You go and make it happen, and when you need to take a break, you do that! You have a fabulous Monday and a stellar week ahead! Thank you for “listening” to the Monday pep talk.

Do you also know @signature_experience_events @thetealady ❤️ chickens? You’ve heard of ``The Chicken Dance”? Popular in the 80’s & 90’s (originally composed by accordion player Werner Thomas from Davos in the 50’s & reintroduced to the U.S. early 70’s) Lots of fun at parties! Chickens & roosters are funny fowl with distinct personalities. Some are loud, some quiet, some bossy & some gentle. They’re entertaining & eggcellent, (pun intended) 🥚 loyal, quirky friends. They have social structures like people & there’s a pecking order.” When they’re raised on farms; free range, 0 pesticides, natural pasture, organic compost & lots of daylight, they lay delicious, nutritious eggs with bright yolks, sometimes double. Chickens dance too. It’s fun to watch their happy dances when they’re socializing with friends! 😂🐓 You already know I love dancing! #icymi scroll & look 👀 💃 Now you know… ❤️ chickens & roosters. 🐓 🐔 Go outside, dance & have fun! It’s sunny! ☀️ Dance like nobody's watching! Cuz they’re not, they’re checking their phones! 😂 When you guess how many chickens @ritamargaritafarmer had on the farm, you win a Voluspa hand-poured candle. 🕯 Clue: >40 <100.
