Happy Summer Solstice! Enjoy this solstice passage from 365 days of Tao: "When the true light appears, The entire planet turns to face it. The summer solstice is the time of greatest light. It is a day of enormous power. The whole planet is turned fully to the brilliance of the sun. This great culmination is not static or permanent. Indeed, solstice as a time of culmination is only a barely perceptible point. The sun appears to stand still. Its diurnal motion seems to nearly cease. Yesterday, it was still reaching this point; tomorrow, it will begin a new phase of its cycle. Those who follow Tao celebrate this day to remind themselves of the cycles of existence. They remember that all cycles have a left and a right, an up side and a down side, a zenith and a nadir. Today, day far surpasses night, and yet night will gradually begin to reassert itself. All of life is cycles. All of life is balance." Today is the summer solstice and it is a day of enormous power! The day of the greatest yang energy of the year. The time of fullness and expansion. All of nature fully embraces this time. It is a wonderful time to connect with nature's balance and the cyclical energy of life. After the solstice we shift to each day bringing a little less light. But no matter what we always have that light inside that never changes. With all of the darkness in the world we can still rejoice for the light that shines upon all of us. The more we embrace the light the more we can spread it out into the world for all those who need it. The first few pics is the cycle of calendula flower and then there are some other flowers that are blooming now. #summersolstice #solstice #calendula #elderflower #redclover #geranium #yarrow #peaflower #wildflowers #tao #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfE8JPMJ55A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

just spent $50 on tea dont look at me

Another favorite work lunch

I made purple iced tea and it looks like wine

Obsidian Falls OC Aesthetics

Aries Addams (They/Them)

Please make a tea post so I can save it especially the pineapple ice cubes I need more info

Oh, like, different teas I like to make? Okay! :D

🍍Pineapple Tea🍍

The way I do it is really simple:

Buy a giant jug of already-made tea (I like gold peak!)

Buy a carton of pineapple juice

Freeze the juice into cubes, pour a little of it in the tea for extra flavor

And that's it. That's aaaall you gotta do.

There's all kindsa ways you can dress it up, but nine times out of ten I just do this and drink it by the gallon when it's hot out.

If you wanna get fancy with it, feel free to cold brew your own black (or green) tea, add actual hunks of pineapple fruit in there, add some orange juice, add some honey, add some coconut milk or sweetened condensed milk, whatever sounds good! (Also, pairing pineapple tea with coconut cookies? SO GOOD.) Put mint in the pineapple cubes if you like mint! Add a bit of boiled ginger root or some brown sugar and cinnamon for a little kick! Heck, last summer I used blue peaflower star-shaped ice cubes just because they were pretty.

(Peaflower petals don't taste like much, but they make a GORGEOUS blue, and if you put something acidic in there like lemon juice IT TURNS PINK. :D)

🍓Strawberry Tea🍓

I find this stuff sort of difficult to find where I live, so often I go the same route as the pineapple tea: grab a jug of black tea, grab a jug of strawberry juice, (ocean spray has a really nice cran-strawberry one I like) freeze the juice, mix, and enjoy. Super simple.

If I can't find strawberry juice, I dice some strawberries up and put it in a jar with some water and a bit of sugar for a few hours, then add *that* to the tea. (heck, it's really nice all by itself!)

What goes with strawberry? ANY DANG THING YOU WANT. I am particularly fond of lychee. Jasmine tea and rose petals pair really well with it too. Again, if you like mint, it's *really* nice with strawberry. And you know how if you put black pepper on strawberries they taste even strawberrier? (If you haven't tried this, go do it, it's magic.) Same goes with the tea, add some peppercorns or a teeny bit of chili powder or some ginger.

If you wanna drink it hot or cold brew a batch of your own, here are some brands that are also nice:

1. Strawberry Sensation

2. Adagio Strawberry Tea (this is also where I got the peaflower petals)

3. Any of Lupicia's Strawberry Teas they are HEAVENLY

🍏Apple Tea🍏

As with the pineapple and strawberry teas, it's totally fine to just go find some ready-made tea and mix it with some apple cider or apple juice for tasty low spoons fun. If you drink it iced, a bit of sugar and lemon juice brings out the apple flavor nicely!

I prefer drinking this stuff hot though. You know that Fall Drink post that was floating around? IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, TRY IT, IT'S AWESOME.

☕Chai Tea☕

So here's the thing about chai for me personally: I don't tend to drink it iced or sugary, but if you do like it iced and sugary, there are a couple of really nice chai tea concentrates:

Oregon Chai Latte

Tazo's Chai Latte (Forget the "skinny" nonsense, I just wanted to include an option with no milk so you can add whatever you want to it)

Pacific Chai isn't concentrated, but you can use it to make hot or iced chai and it's really lovely, not too sweet and super easy to work with. As for dressing up chai, I don't tend to! There's already so much going on with all the flavors, I just drink it as-is most days. Play with milk-to-tea ratios or sugar amounts all you like, figure out what's your jam.

I do know that mixing chai and coffee together (or chai and chocolate together) is guaranteed to make a feeling groovy kind of morning, at least if you have two thumbs and you're me. Iiii think that's all the tea blather I can think of for right now. Thank you for asking, anon, it was fun! Anybody reading this, feel free to add your own favorite things to do with tea. :D

IT'S HER SPECIAL DAY

HAPPY NUT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Face Cream is a great Anti-aging addition to your skincare regimen I’ve posted about the flavonoids & antioxidants in the butterfly pea flower, so let’s focus on the other incomparable ingredients. Next on the list is a blend of Omega fatty acids that keep your skin moisturized and hydrated. Due to the improved levels of moisture in the skin, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and other ageing signs. This cream can act as a skin lightening agent. The Aloe Vera oil also effectively manages acne, and its anti-aging properties help hydrate the skin. It also minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by exhibiting a moisturizing effect on dry skin. Aloe vera oil also heals stretch marks. For a full list and details of each ingredient stop by my website Pinkbeautyorganicskincare.com #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #creamaesthetic #facecreams #bluebutterfly #bluebutterflypeaflower #peaflower #skincareproducts #facialcare (at Keyport Waterfront Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2GqkZJjo-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HII so i was wondering on how to make a goatsus oc 🙏 wanna make sure im doin’ it right (with credits to u ofc)

Ughh I've yet to make an updated guide on how to make Goatasi since there's a lot and I don't have the motivation to make one 💔

But basically

Whatever season they're born in will be their colours

Winter - Cold/cool colours Autumn - Warm/cool colours Spring - Light pastel colours (Can be any) Summer - Bright flashy colours (Can be any)

Their brooch can only be a symbol or somethin' organic, can't just be somethin' completely random Sometimes brooches come with accessories (Pastel's ribbons, Razzy's leaves, Snowdrop's vines etc.) and when a goatasi has that they have healing abilities The accessory that they have won't show on their markings tho (Like how Pastel has ribbons but only the heart is on her body) markings can be anywhere and you can add as many as you want AS LONG as they always have them on their cheeks and outer thighs

Goatasi can have to abilities, they don't always have to be flashy!

Pastel - Light & heat Snowdrop - Snow & hollow grams Peaflow - The ability to change the weight of things & wind AK - Electricity & Speed

You get the idea

And remember you're always free to use my Goatasi OCs for reference!

I think a nice date in with cake ans movies and cuddling would be good for him.

... Hey Shadow, ever built a blanket fort?

Amy: Eeeehehehehe [Shadow turns their head just enough to see Amy from their vantage point on the couch.] Amy: So I have been experimenting~! Shadow: (ᓀ ᓀ)? [Amy fusses in the kitchen.] Amy: I know you're not super fond of sweets, but I had been wanting to try to make this really fun cake for a while. It's not what I normally go for, but I played around with the recipe a bit aaaaand. [Amy comes into the living room, cake in hand. It's a small, square, purple thing. There is a little powdered sugar on top in a pattern that looks like a daisy. From between the cake layers ooze bright yellow.] Amy: TADAAAAAA! Shadow:Σ(O_O) Amy: It's a blue peaflower cake! Well, okay, it's a lemon poppy peaflower cake- say that ten times fast, wow- with extra lemon and extra poppy seeds, and- [She swipes some of the yellow filling from the plate and pops the finger in her mouth, smiling.] Amy- lemon curd. For extra zest. Shadow: (•ิ.•ิ)! Amy: Do you want to try it now or-? Shadow: Yes. Amy: Haha! (๑⁀ᗢ⁀๑) Okay! Let me just get you a plate and some utensils. Shadow: ... Aren't you having some as well? [Amy waves a hand in reply to his expression as she moves back toward the kitchen.] Amy: That's for you, not me! [Amy hears shuffling. When she turns around, knife, plate, and fork in hand, she finds Shadow fully turned towards her, arm braced over the edge of the couch. Their brow is furrowed in confusion. She laughs, shrugging. She cannot make eye contact.] Amy: I... don't like the way it tastes. And- and that's not saying I made it wrong! I didn't! I just didn't make it for me, you know? I made it for you! Shadow: (¬ ¬) Amy: It's- you know! It's like how Cream loves pineapple, but I don't. It gives me such a stomach ache, ugh. But I still make her pineapple upside-down cake for her birthday! I'm not gonna *not* make something just because I don't want to eat it! [Amy hands Shadow the plate and utensils over the back of the couch.] Amy: If I get myself a small bowl of ice cream, will you stop making faces at me. Shadow:(¬‿¬) Amy: Ugh, fiiiiiine! But only because I can't stand that look, mister! And you better tell me honestly what you think of that cake! Shadow:(´֊`)

[Amy smiles, then as she turns to go back into the kitchen, she looks outside to the cold, grey sky. She pauses.] Amy: Hey... quick question, have you ever made a pillow fort? [Shadow pauses, then shakes their head.] Amy: Well, I guess I know what we're doing after this then! Because if I'm having icecream, then I'm going to be cold, and if I'm cold... I'm going to want snuggles (๑￢ᴗ￢๑) Shadow: Σ(O_O) Amy: Hehehe, (๑>◡<๑) welcome to the joys of dating Amy Rose, Mr. Ultimate Lifeform! I'm a classy lady who likes baking, long walks, shopping sprees, and spending the entire day cuddling! Once you're in my arms, you're going nowhere! [Her smile falters, a nervous glaze settling over her features. Shadow notices. They give Amy a long, hard look. Then, with a huff, they cut a slice of cake for themselves and settle back into the couch.] Shadow: Get your desert, then explain to me what a pillow fort is. [Amy beams, unable to hold back a small sound of joy as she darts back into the kitchen. Once she's out of view, Shadow runs a shaking hand over their mouth as they take a deep breath.]
