Yucky yucky mix, yummy yummy Ice tea...

So, i really love ice tea and other beverages like diet coke but I'm reeaaaally sensitive to caffeine. ugh.
Too much and I am awake all night like a little owl!

Anyway, I did a lot of digging around on Pinterest and found a good recipe for ice tea. I use caffeine free Tetley tea and I also use Truvia Baking so its really tasty and not super sugary or high calorie. And the weird secret is baking soda. I used to hate ordering it in restaurants and getting this bitter tea that was too sweet. Yuck. So the baking soda reacts while its steeping and its really smooth! Yay science!  Recipe is below at the end of the post!

Other stuff going on? Decluttering. Also yuck. I'm amazed at how much clutter I've accumulated, so Good Will is going to be happy with me! I may repaint in here and I'm rearranging the furniture in my office area to create a separate area for artwork because I want to get refocused on doing more painting and drawing. My goal is that this will cause less distraction, because I already have "art brain" and get easily distracted by squirrels! Squirrels = emails, work, yarn... and actual squirrels outside the window!

Working from home can take discipline, so this little feng shui project of mine will be a good thing! 

PS. if you have any recipes you want to share or a design project that also needs "feng shui-ing" ask me... I love that stuff!
