American Goodies




This Past September and October my brother was able to participate in the same exchange I did when I was his age, almost 7 years ago. From the States he brought me some goodies, which I have been wanting for long time.

As you will find out if you keep reading my blog I am a tea lover. There are times my mom said she thought I could live out of tea. For a long time I have been wanting to try the brand Celestial Seasonings, as I kept watching people loving those teas all over youTube. I was especially curious because they have a wide variety of caffeine free flavours. Therefore, I asked my brother for some celestial teas. He brought me 5 boxes of Celestial Seasonings teas. 2 boxes from their “Herbal Tea Sampler”, another 2 boxes from their “Fruit Tea Sampler” and a box of the Cinnamon Apple Spice herbal tea.
So far I tasted the “Lemon Zinger” herbal tea, which was really good.; the “peppermint” herbal tea, which was a bit strong; the “wild berry zinger” that was really, really good. I also loved the “true blueberry”; and liked the “black cherry berry”. About the “cinnamon apple spice”, it was quite strong, even if I liked the flavor.


The other thing I asked my brother for was anti-bacterial hand gel. The reason was because the ones I was able to find here in Spain where a bit big. Also, they smell strongly like alcohol, nothing else. Hence I asked him to bring me some Bath and Body works hand Sanitizers. He bought me 5 for 5$ mini hand gels in some sweet smells, as I love sweet smells. “Red Ruby”, “Vanilla Cupcake”, “Midnight Pomegranate”, “Fresh Strawberries”, and “Vanilla Berry Sorbet”.


The last thing my brother brought  me was an Enfield High School, Raiders, Baseball T-shirt. When I went to Enfield I forgoten to buy one myself, hence, my brother has brought me one, which will remind me of my brother as well as my own experience there.

I also get a Yankee Candle in the smell Macintosh, because my brother bought two candles in the same smell. It smells like sweet, just-picked apples.


Last but not least, my brother acted as a messenger and brought me some things one of the girls, who hosted back when I participate in the exchange. She was nice enough to buy me a set from Bath and Body Works in Japanese Cherry Blossom, which is her favorite scent. She gave to me the shower gel, the body lotion, the fragrance mist and the hand sanitizer.
I tried them yesterday and I think they are really good. I like the scent, I like how the shower gel makes lots of foam, and also I like how moisturizer the body lotion was. In addition to that I found the fragrance mist refreshing and long lasting, considering it is a body mist.
