Tea, I love my tea. Really strong, first thing in the morning.
Did you know that green tea has been linked with weight loss? New research out of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shows that black tea can also blast fat working through a different mechanism. So I not only love my cup of tea but love the fact that maybe I am aiding my “small” efforts to keep my weight down while enjoying myself.

While at the Salvation Army Thrift Store I saw a little wooden, bright blue horse. I thought to go back after reading about colourful, wooden Dala (or dalecarlian) horses which are a recognizable symbol of Sweden. They are usually red and have been associated with the Swedish people. They are traditionally carved out of wood and painted red, and then adorned with Kurbits designs, a style of painting that the Swedes developed in the 18th century. They are now found in many colours. But when I went back the little blue horse was gone!
