100th Follower Giveaway Extravaganza!

Okay, so maybe "extravaganza" is a bit of an over-statement. It's really just one giveaway. That being said, it's fuckin cool, yo bitches! (do you think it's possible I'm watching too much of this lately?)....


I hit 100 followers yesterday thanks to Tanya @ Lovely Greens and I can't even begin to contain my excitement1 Seriously Tanya, you want some cookies? I'll bake em for you! Followers aren't everything - I know that - but it sure makes you feel good when someone likes you (or at least your blog) enough to click and publicly display their virtual affection. It's the second best thing next to comments. 

So to celebrate.... I have a giveaway. And lemme tell you, this is one sweet deal of a giveaway; not to mention cost some serious cheddar. Aye! 

So here's the deal. School is coming to an end for me. My immediate reaction to that is, "bring on the wine!"... However, I can't ship wine internationally. And so what's the next best thing after vino for sipping in the middle of the afternoon? Well... at the end of every term John gets me a "Floating Cloud" package from this incredible local spa called Silk Road - essentially, it's a one hour full body massage followed by a one hour facial followed by as much fresh brewed tea as I can possibly consume. This place is the shit. So I'm giving away: tea.... but not just any tea.


I'm giving away 9 incredibly diverse and flavourful different varieties (3 green; 3 black; 3 herbal) of their spectacular tea, each one supplying 7-10 cups per package:


A Scandanavian styled, Finnish made steeper/mug that is super fucking cool:


Some home baked chocolate chip cookies:


And of course... a little reading material. John has put together 10 copies of what could be called my very limited edition, very first cookbook ever. Happy Valentines Day to me, yo! And to you! I'll send you a copy along with the package.


So let's review: 9 types (63-90 cups!) of incredible tea, one amazing tea pot/mug, home baked mother ef'n chocolate chip cookies, and something to pass the time with - my first cookbook. Hellz yeah I did yo! 

....yup, too much Breaking Bad. Must. Stop, Watching.
