Great Finds : Lipton Milk Tea

My friend and I were passing by Shang (as usual) to hail a cab there when we saw free Lipton Milk Tea taste testing there by the grocery. We promptly lined up, what with our recent obsession with tea lattes at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. (Try their English Breakfast Tea Latte, its the best!)

Frankly I have never been a fan of tea and never planned to, until we were out with some friends and this guy was sweet enough to buy me their English Breakfast Tea Latte without me asking. I am forever thankful to him coz I have discovered the wonderful world adding-milk-to-teas hahaha. I am obssessed with that drink at Coffee Bean. So I guess you can understand why I lined up to try Lipton's Milk Tea.

Verdict? It definitely was very good, albeit a bit sweeter than my preference of it to be bland (sugar ages you, darling.). Its a very very good alternative to Coffee Bean, esp. with the price difference. And I can just enjoy it at home, I dont have to go to the coffee shop!

Accdg. to the Lipton website:

"Lipton recently launched the Milk Tea range that is a perfect blend of Lipton
Black Tea, milk and sugar that results in a rich and smooth drink. In the
Philippines, it is available in Original, Gold and Vanilla flavours."

Aside from it wonderful taste, drinking tea also has these amazing benefits / key facts:

• Tea is the world's favourite beverage, after water.
• Independent scientists also place leaf tea second only to water as the most ideal beverage in the world.
• All leaf teas are naturally zero calories and so can help with your weight management programme.
• Lipton tea provides you with flavonoid antioxidants. Antioxidants are thought to help keep our body healthy by preventing every day wear and tear by free radicals.
• Studies observing large populations and there eating and lifestyle habits over a long period of time show that regular tea drinking may help maintain heart health. A number of studies showed that people consuming tea (without milk and sugar) on a regular basis as part healthy lifestyle tend to maintain better heart health better than those who do not drink tea.
• Lipton is the world's best-known and best-selling brand of tea, with sales of nearly €3 billion today. Lipton is the global market leader in both leaf and ready-to-drink tea, with a global market share nearly three times larger than its nearest rival.
• Available in over 110 countries, Lipton is particularly popular in Europe, North America and the Middle East and parts of Asia.
• Tea revitalises your mind and body.Tea – half the caffeine of a regular cup of coffee.

• Just one 200ml cup of Lipton Yellow Label will provide you with around 135mg of antioxidants.

Leyende's Beach Bomb EDC

I've been aware of Leyende for about a year now and its one of those brands I want to try, just that I didnt know what to buy and if there was anything I need. I was in Crossings The Ramp the other day when I saw their stall. Curious, I checked out what they had. Their Beach Bomb really was what made me curious. Aside from loving the name, there was only one bottle left there. I had read many rave reviews about this EDC but unfortunately, since I couldnt smell it from Cebu (I actually messaged them before if there was anywhere in Cebu I could try to smell it.) I never got a chance to try or buy it.

When I sniffed it this time, it surprised me that it smelled so good! You can smell the coconuts in it, which would normally put me off (coconut scents for me are disgusting), but it was paired well with a floral scent that when mixed together, actually works so well you would think twice about coconut scents from now on! Now this was something you wouldnt find anywhere. Usually coconut scents in colognes/perfumes are so strong you would want to gag, but not this. The combination, for me, makes for a very explosive scent experience that I knew I couldnt leave there without getting me one, the last one! No matter if I still had my Burberry Summer or my Zara Rosa Bulgara or my friend's Violet Leaves cologne, I will make room for this on my dresser.

One of the wonderful things about this is that, when I wore it yesterday, the scent lasted alllll daaayyyy loooonnnggg. I cannot stop sniffing Leyende's Beach Bomb now that it has made me want to always be out so I can just wear it. :)
