Tea Glorious Tea …


Hello Lovelies. TEA TEA TEA! Man do I love my tea! It reminds me of the phrase “British like a brew”. To be fair I’d agree with the phrase. But lately its not just your normal Tetley or Typhoos tea you can have with a glug of milk. There’s such a variety of flavours and different brands, sometimes I stand there in the aisle thinking “whaaat”!

A lot of teas have a different purpose for the body. Such as the 30 days challenges that are out there like ‘booteas’ or even ‘detox teas’. Of course am not saying they don’t work but wanting something in particular to help your diet can get confusing for an individual when they’ve never been down that route.

So, today’s blog will include some of the teas i have including the brand/Flavour. However I’ll also be explaining the purpose of the tea and also any home remedy teas to have when I make for myself when I fall ill as well.

Green Tea

Green tea is amazing for the body especially the digestive system. It removes all the bad toxins from the body as well as the fact that its only 14 calories a teabag (depending on which brand you choose to have). Keeping hydrated is key for our bodies. Green tea is 99% water as the green tea leaves are 100% with no artificial sweeteners. This is depending again on which brand you choose to have. Usually when making a green tea it takes about 2-3 minutes to brew to get  a good flavour. There are also lots of flavours mixed with green tea such a jasmine, mint and even mandarin. I usually just put in a spoonful of honey as my natural sweetener to honey.

Black Tea

Black tea is also really good for the body as it’s a fat burner. Just having a cup/mug of black tea sounds bitter but you can always add honey or sugar to your cuppa. This makes it sweeter for people who have a sweet tooth. It still does the trick.


Herbal Teas

Herbal teas are also a very popular buy. They come in all different flavours. My favourite as usually the peppermint if I want something different as it gives me the kickstart for the day with a small bowl of museli or porridge. Another favourite of mine is strawberry and mango from the Twinings collection. When this is drank piping hot oh my god, it’s like having a cup/mug of goodness and it also gives me my first intake of water for the day as well which is a plus. Of course there are so many out there but these flavours are just some of my favourites.



 Mint Tea/Kahwa

Mint tea or Kahwa in Arabic is really nice if you want something sweet yet suttle to the throat. This can be drank on a usual day to day basis as well as when you are ill as it helps the throat. I usually have this again with honey but it can be drank with sugar or nothing at all. Also, you can make mint tea with just a few sprigs of mint or you can put your black tea bag to have a stronger flavour.




 Masala Chai

Masala chai is an Indian version of tea. This is usually made quite milky and with lots of infused spices that can be grinded at home or bought in packets. The spices usually contain cinnamon and other spices and is made with normal teabags, some water and milk. Others tend to make it 100% milky but depending on how you’d want to make it , the outcome could vary. Also adding sugar or any type of sweetener would be to someone’s preference as well.






 Honey Water

Honey water is one of the best when you’re ill. Having a spoonful of honey with boiled kettle water is really good if you have a flu. Put a small slice of Ginger and you’ve also made yourself a detox tea! Any honey will do. I usually use organic honey as they don’t have any artificial sweeteners that would make a flu worse. Ginger can also be bought from any supermarket, you can either put a slice or just grate some and leave in the cup/mug to diffuse. Of course depending on how strong you want it, you could take out the ginger remains from the cup/mug after a few minutes. Or even better you can get lemon & ginger tea In a teabag, job done.

Lemon Tea

Lemon tea is really good for the body as it removes toxins and also refreshes the mouth as well as the throat if you’re ill. Boiled kettle water and a slice of Lemon and you’re done! How easy is that!?. A slice, wedge or even a squeeze will do the trick, just as long as it has been diffused in the water for at least 2-3 minutes. This can again be bought in a teabag as said above in the lemon and ginger teabag which I have bought from the Twinings brand.


That’s all guys, I hope this blog for today has inspired you to try out different teas and comment letting me know if you did and which one you enjoyed the most! Until next time, Take care x x

The return of SadiyyaDee !!

Hello everyone! Or should i say welcome back! Its been two years since i last posted up a blog due to personal commitments  but i intend to make sure i keep posting regularly now.


I do hope everyone is well!.I guess it’s best I introduce myself properly. My Name is Sadiyya and I’m 19 years old. I’ve always had a passion in writing. I used to spend hours doing creative writing as I feel that it gives an individual the chance to express their feelings and experiences in a different way that one would naturally do so.

  I’ve also had a passion for just experimenting and trying out different tips and tricks. As i am a Muslim Hijabi one of my main experiments were trying different hijab styles out. Which is why I made my own Youtube channel. However I did stop for a while but hopefully I’ll try my best to get that up and running again soon.


Anyway I just thought I’d make a brief introduction to my blog for now, but I do hope anyone that passes by is inspired as much as I’ll enjoy sharing everything with you all. Different blog posts will be up if anyone is wondering from Fashion, Reviews, & tips… you name it!  & if you'd like to follow me on any social media all links are on the page also !!

How to be more confident!!

Keeping quiet can sometimes be a good thing, but can lead you to feeling insecure about other things such as keeping a secret. This could lead you to lying and then you feeling bad etc. As people do say, 'what goes around comes around' having the worst coming back to you would be the worst thing. So, to keep yourself from being the insecure person being confident is the way forward

"How do i feel confident then?"

To feel confident in your own skin can sometimes seem hard to do because you end up pushing yourself to such a limit that you end up hurting yourself for not being successful in a certain area your mind thought you would. To keep yourself from thinking like this, appreciating what you have can always be a good alternative. It may seem, as if its hard to do but with ease if you feel happy about how you have become the person you are today, and how heartbreaks in the pass have bought you to be the person you are today, you will be more grateful then ever! Other ways of being more confident can include other people. Not letting them walk over you, (not literally lol), more of them taking advantage basically, will lead you to being a more independent and happier person overall. If people do take advantage of you and your not the sensitive type anymore, show them your not. In so may words, dont be too aggressive about it but show how things in the past has made you become more stronger.

Keeping yourself happy, will make others around you happy which is a win win situation! NEVER let anyone rule who you are, and always keep in mind that your in control of your life at the end of the day... Keeping that in mind check this beautiful picture out with amazing quotes from amazing people!

PRODUCT REVIEW- Precious Treasures

 Precious treasures is a superb service that sells not only makeup and jewellery pieces, but also scarfs! They are all at a reasonable price as well as keeping the brands of everything high.. Also buy as many products as you like and its only £2.50 p&p WORLDWIDE!




  



      As i started tearing out my goodies, i realised i ripped into the makeup products. I had received a beautiful shade of Rimmel lipstick as well as a Rimmel eyeshadow in a natural like colour. I also got a boots'17' trio eyeshadow. The lipstick was £3.50 and the eyeshadows came up to £2.50 for the trio,and £2.50 for the Rimmel. 
This here shows how the lipstick would look on your hand. The lipstick itself on my lips gave out a nude look which was lovely, and was also not a matt feel either so it wouldn't go dry etc. The shade of the lipstick itself is 043,spotlight beige.


I then tried out the trio eyeshadow and mixing the 3 colours together, which were a suttle green,light blue and black gave me this which was finished off the top liner. I use collection 2000 in black which is a pen like brush so it can let me add flicks to the end if on a night out etc.









I then moved onto the jewellery. One piece that i got was a beautiful necklace that could be used as a choker etc. The necklace itself was only £4! The picture shows how it could be worn on top of a scarf or if not scarf as a normal choker necklace with the hair tied up etc. The picture below is showing you how i would wear the necklace itself. i have a statement ring on which is gold as well as my Micheal Kors watch which is gold, this compliments the different colours and charms on the necklace itself.





These knot looking earrings came as a set and can worn with hair tied up or even with a scarf in a turban style. They were easy to clip on and wern't heavy at all on the ear lobe itself. These were both £5!








All the products came up to £19 incuding P&P! What a bargain!

Poem fanatic at 13 Years old!

Becoming a blogger can somewhat be a good thing for me simply because i love writing and i love the fact that i can do it freely with emotions. When i was in school i used to love writing out poems depending on how people actually felt, i even got my own poem put into a published book with children all over the world! It honestly felt amazing having this at just the age of 13! 
 We had to come up with literally anything at all. Anything to do with your friend, family etc and so i decided to do it on a relationship between a boy and a girl ..


      Colourful front page

      My poem..
I'll right the poem out anyway ..

STORY OF MY LIFE 
'Please say yes' says the guy so tall.
I dont know what to do, i have no idea at all.
'Your the girl of my dreams, i need you for life'.
Its killing me inside, like a murderer stabbing me with a knife.
Saying no would break his heart,
am not ready, 
I think i should take it slow and steady.
Should i agree or displease?
I dont want to be teased.
So this is it,
My life goes on,
Hope theres a happy ending,
Like the say in songs.
