Refreshing and Light - Summer Drink

♥

♥

The hot summer days, sitting by the pool opposite a magnificent sea view calls for an ice cold drink that will cool you from the inside! 

I have been making this drink countless times throughout the day and absolutely love it! It's not that this drink is super special or extremely exotic! The reason why I love it, is because it is so light, delicate, fresh, healthy and extremely easy and quick to make.

Literally all you need is fresh water, lots of ice and your favourite herbal tea bag, in my case Green Tea and Jasmine!

Grab a tall glass, fill it to the brim with ice, fill with fresh water and then add in your tea bag! No stirring, nothing! Within a matter of seconds it releases a light refreshing taste. Leave the teabag in the glass as it releases more flavour as you drink it!

This makes for a healthier alternative, than have ready made iced teas, fizzy drinks and alcoholic drinks! Trust me when I say that your body will thank you for it!

Enjoy it while reading your favourite book, keeping up with the latest fashion trends flicking through magazines, by the pool or just because you like it and want it (my main excuse)! The possibilities to how you can have this is infinite! Another favourite of mine is just adding a few wedges of lemon or lime instead of a teabag!

Do you have a favourite summer drink? Let me know what flavour you'd put in your glass!

Hyper Japan 2014

  

On Sunday the 27th of July I attended Hyper Japan at Earls Court exhibition center. This event was on from the Friday and I believe is it's 6th year in running this expo! Hyper Japan is the UK's biggest Japanese culture event which mainly focuses on fashion, cuisine, tradition, music and entertainment! Whether you went for the video games or the food or picking up ultra-kawaii things, there was something for everybody!

 I had a really good time and the dear friends I went with heightened my experience as it was nice to go to an exhibition where all of us were interested in Japanese culture. I loved walking around and seeing all the crazy cute things that Japan is famous for, seeing new video games and being able to try out One Piece Unlimited World Red (which happens to be my all time favourite anime) and sampling the food! I actually was dying for some Takoyaki, which is basically a ball shaped snack made of wheat flour batter and is filled with diced octopus, which then has a takoyaki sauce drizzled over it and sprinkled with shavings of dried bonito! It is so yum (I can see why Luffy loves it)! 

I think anyone who knows me, knows how much of a big love I have for Totoro. It is my favourite character of all time and so when I got to meet Totoro (well a man dressed in a totoro costume) it was like the best thing ever! I was so excited :D 

and ontop of Totoro... I maybe slightly obsessed with Pandas ^_^ I mean what's not to love about them! So when I saw this adorable panda (man in a costume) I had to get a photo with it!!!!

Hyper Japan is next here from the 14th-16th of November for their Christmas Market, so make sure you head on up for an amazing experience. You can find out more information here
