how i drink my skincare in tea pots

november 2025


2025 marks the year i drank the most liquids. 
i used to be really bad with drinking water, 
but that all changed when i moved to london 
and found the most amazing selection of tea.

 i am obsessed with tea. 
green tea, breakfast tea with
 brown rice milk, mint tea, 
lemon and ginger tea, ashwagandha mango tea,
 choco tea (life changing), mulled wine tea, 
lavender tea, to name a few. 



i’m also looking forward to my friend adri 
coming with my huge delivery of mate tea
 that she will swap for her huge delivery of 
ashwagandha tea. and these two are my holy 
skincare tea secrets

 (funny enough you can’t find them in the 
same city, or at least not the one i want
 - the argentinian, not the german).


i used to take ashwagandha because 
i read something (a tiktok) about it keeping
 your summer tan for longer.

i stopped spending money on supplements
 as i am trying to get some vitamins from food
 carrots, cranberries…

but adri calls me and asks me 
about ashwagandha this, 
ashwagandha that,
 having seen me last in a time where 
me and ashwagandha were one.

 i did feel calmer, yes, and i do miss it. 

so that’s where the tea comes in handy.
 £3 holland and barrett sounds great,
 and it gets you that feeling when
 you eat cookies you lastate during your childhood.




 and it keeps me hydrated.
 and it makes my friends come back for sleepovers.

 so i am all about less pills, more tea.
