Tea is the way to go


Chrysanthemum Tea 

Four weeks ago, I discovered a really healthy tea! I already drink Green Tea and so when I found Chrysanthemum Tea, I was a little hesitant to try it but the lady in the store assured me that it will help with health and so I decided to purchase it. I followed the instructions on brewing it well and then slowly drank it. At first, I wasn't accustomed to the smell or taste of it so I held it in and just drank it, but as time went on, I got used to it. I am quite fond of the taste of the tea. And I might say, this is indeed good for the body. I can feel it refresh my body as it goes down my throat! So I made it my mission to at least drink it once a day, but now I think I might be running low on stock.  I felt it refresh my brain as well and make me more awake/aware. I think this is my caffeine fix! I don't drink coffee and I stopped drinking any carbonated drinks for more than a year and substituted it with tea or juice :)

I was surfing through the net and I ended up finding some information on this tea. I found 10 health benefits for drinking this. I got them from be-well-buzz.com so all credit goes to that website. I shall list them now.

1. Chrysanthemum tea has Vitamin C in which helps ease heaviness in the head during cold and provide relief in sinusitis discomfort. This herbal tea also has antiviral properties and helps relieve congestion in the head which may be caused by viral infection. The heaviness in the head could also be caused due to bacterial pathogenic reaction. Chrysanthemum tea is anti spirochetal in nature thus it is really helpful in easing head congestion.

2. Chrysanthemum tea is naturally caffeine free, hence, it is free from all the side effects of caffeine like anxiety, tension, irritation, nervousness and confusion.

3. Chrysanthemum tea is a natural coolant and helps in lowering the temperature of the body when suffering from fever or even heat stroke. This herbal tea is also helpful in treating pimples and acne. It can also treat discomfort of high temperature such as headache, slight toothache and throbbing nerves in the gums.

4. Chrysanthemum tea is good for the detoxification of the liver and for lowering cholesterol levels.

5. This tea helps in the treatment of coronary artery disease, blocked arteries and even varicose veins.

6. Chrysanthemum tea has stimulating property and helps in alerting the senses and rejuvenating the brain. It stimulates all your senses very quickly and also calms down the nerves.

7. It helps in easing giddiness.

8. Drinking Chrysanthemum tea helps in providing relief in sore throat, redness in the eyes, itchiness in the eyes, dryness in the eyes and dark sport in the eye area.

9. It makes the lungs strong and helps in providing relief in respiratory problems such as shortness of breath.

10. Chrysanthemum tea when taken with lunch or dinner especially with oily foods helps ease digestion.


So all of this explains why my body has been feeling so much better!
Yay for tea!! :D

I Love You

2NE1

They are back!! and they brought a new single! I Love You. It's a mix of electro-pop. I love the beat, its very addicting. The video is so good! YG knows what they are doing. There are so many vibrant colours, their clothes are so pretty. :)

Enjoy! 

When you feel like there’s no way out
Love is
the only way

Only be good to me
Only always smile at me
I said oooh, don’t make me jealous
Oooh, don’t make me become obsessed

I’m still scared of love
So make me trust you
I said oooh, don’t make me jealous
Oooh, don’t make me become obsessed

I Love You
I Love You

All day, I keep thinking about you
All day, I just stare at my phone that’s not ringing
Why don’t you know my heart being like this yet?
I still don’t know your heart either

At thoughts of you, I can’t go to sleep at night
I think of you
with the moonlight and I confess my heart
Why don’t you know my heart being like this yet?
I still don’t know your heart either

Look at me now

Look at my heart
It’s burning like this
Please hold onto me right now
Before it’s too late eh eh eh eh

I Love You
I Love You

Don’t stop the love song
I will sing for handsome you every day
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Don’t stop the love dance
I want to spend this night with you
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Look at my heart
It’s burning like this
Please hold onto me right now
Before it’s too late eh eh eh eh
We can’t go wrong, bring it back

Don’t play the cat-and-mouse game with me
Let’s become a bit more honest
I said oooh, don’t make me jealous
Oooh, don’t make be become obsessed

I’m curious where you are and what you’re doing
Are you annoyed by me being like this?
I said oooh, don’t make me jealous
Oooh, don’t make be become obsessed

I Love You everyday
Don’t get away
Take me away
I Love You everyday
In everyway
I Love You

Why don’t you know my heart being like this yet?
I still don’t know your heart either
I Love You everyday
Don’t get away
Take me away
I Love You everyday
In everyway
I Love You

Why don’t you know my heart being like this yet?
I still don’t know your heart either

 Super Junior - From U + Sexy, Free & Single   [MNET]




So, I'm severely in LOVE with this song! Super Junior released their 6th album on July 1st and their music video for the title song came 2 days after, Sexy, Free & Single. Their second song in the album is called From U. This song just captured me from the beginning. It is so lovely. I just love it for the down-to-earth, catchy lyrics. I was singing along at first listen. And I really want to learn the dance for it! :)
*sighs* This song puts all my worries away and makes me enjoy the moment and live for the next one. It just makes my heart melt. It is a little auto-tuned but still better than the title song. In this video the title song comes after. From U sort of reminds me of No Other from their 4th album. The dance and rhythm is somewhat similar but nevertheless, really sweet. This new song, when I read the lyrics, it brought tears to my eyes. I understand their message and it is really beautiful.
So without further adieu, I hope you guys enjoy this song!

English Translation:
This song is dedicated to the world’s biggest fan club
The “ELF”, my girls, my angels.

We, met for the first time years ago then fell in love at first sight
Baby
, no matter where I go, you stand by my side just like my shadow
From time to time, there are just so many things to prove our love
Even when I’m sick, even when I collapse, she’s the only one remaining by my side

Baby baby baby baby baby, let us never break up
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady, I really love you
Shawty shawty shawty shawty shawty, it’s only you, the one that I’ve chosen
Even my tears, even my little smiles.. Do you know?
They all come from you

That you’ve got old already because I make you worry so much, don’t say such things
No matter how I look at it, to me there’s no one in this world that is as beautiful as you are (don’t say such things either)
I don’t know why you keep staying with me. Also, I’m sorry because I fall short to you
Just believe me. I, I will do well

*Baby baby baby baby baby, let us never break up
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady, I really love you
Shawty shawty shawty shawty shawty, it’s only you, the one that I chose
Even my tears, even my little smiles.. Do you know?
They all come from you

Even when the words ‘I have no one but you’ sound all so cheeky, how do I show you my heart?
Even though there are times when we fight, when we say we hate each other to death, doesn’t your heart know already?

The days of mere beauty, with the mere good things that you and I, we two used to see together, eat together, hear together, cry together, laugh together
Thank you for standing by me, believing in me so that I wouldn’t collapse, really thank you

Baby baby baby baby baby, let us never break up
Oh my lady lady lady lady lady, I really love you
Shawty shawty shawty shawty shawty, it’s only you, the one that I chose
Even my tears, even my little smiles.. Do you know?
They all come from you

Always, I thank you and I love you
