I cannot tell you what this season will bring out of you, but I can tell you that it matters to keep showing up every day. I can tell you that it matters to give love, even though you do not think you are good enough. Your presence matters, even in this chapter. Even if you feel overlooked, alone or far from home, you belong in this life just as much as anyone else, no matter how others see you, or how you see yourself. Whether you are having the most productive week or you feel like you are falling apart at the seams, there are signs of strength and movement with every breath you breathe. So take heart, breathe deep. Even before things fall in place. For even here, in these unknowns, you are wrapped in endless, boundless grace. — MHN @morganharpernichols #grace #teaislove #teaandreading #go followher #lockdowndays #staysafestayhome #ramadaniscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XYxAXBQhx/?igshid=1emn42kbv7584

It is a Brew-tea-ful day for lounging, reading & of course drinking tea ( see what I did there lol). I’m aware that I haven't been posting about the apothecary like I should I promised you, I’m still having some difficulties, but once those are sloved I post more tea, more herbs, more about my online business & less about Shingeki no Kyojin/ Attack on Titan..... I don’t know why I’m lying to myself........

Lots of Love from my cup to yours,

Amz

Hello all! Mod Pemberlylove here. I thought I would start my first book review with a book that is clearly near and dear to my heart. I will of course be writing about Pride and Prejudice.

Let’s get started by discussing the author and the book.

Jane Austen lived from 1775 to 1817. Jane Austen originally wrote Pride and Prejudice under the name First Impressions. First Impressions was completed in 1799. Pride and Prejudice, as it is now called, was then published in 1813. Pride and Prejudice has become Jane Austen’s best known work and has enchanted readers for over 200 years.

           Pride and Prejudice is a story that at its core is a love story. When Mr. Bingley moves into Netherfield Park, the Bennet family is ecstatic about the prospect of a wealthy marriage for one of their five daughters. When the Bennet family meets Mr. Bingley they find that he has brought his friend Mr. Darcy. What proceeds from there is a love story fraught with awkward conversations, well-meaning meddling, and finding out that you should not settle for anything less than true love.

           Let’s start with the good stuff. Pride and Prejudice is a well-loved story and for good reason. All of the characters are well written and all have a unique personality. Everyone should be able to relate to one person in this story, and that makes it all the more interesting. When you can relate to a character in a story, I believe it helps draw a reader in and helps you understand where the characters are coming from.

           This book is also interesting because it contains a love story fraught with trials and awkward conversations. We read as Darcy and Elizabeth fight through their feelings, and Jane and Bingley struggle to find themselves in a world where they have always been spoken for. We cringe as Mr. Collins attempts to seduce multiple characters, and Mr. Whickam tries to seduce his way up the feeding chain, so to speak.

           Let’s now talk about the things that might not make this book everyone’s “cup of tea” J. Pride and Prejudice is a love story, so if you do not like romance novels you might want to just put it down. However, if you are looking for a Nicholas Spark story this is not it as well. Jane Austen had a unique way of writing that is not like any other author living or deceased. Jane Austen did not elaborate on the love story aspect in this story, her story focuses more on their internal struggles and finding their way to happiness. For example, the proposals in Pride and Prejudice leave most of it up to your imagination. You are left to conjure up what you believe the characters would say.

           However, at the end of the day I would recommend Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice to everyone I meet. The story is a classic that everyone should read at least once.

Now for my tea of choice for this book. This book is a wonderful love story with a sweet and soft ending. I believe that it is only right that we have a tea that is as subtle in flavor as Mr. Darcy is in love. My tea of choice is Lavender Dreams white tea by Teavana. This tea has a sweet flavor with lavender blossoms, rose buds, and sweet peach.
