One of my best girl friends in the whole wide world was telling me about a book she was reading. It’s called Three cups of tea. She explained the name to me. If you are a guest you get 1 cup of tea. If you are a friend you get 2 cups of tea. If you are a friend thats practically family you get 3 cups of tea. I got all, “my little pony” and “cabbage patch doll” on her and gushed, “You are a 3 cups of tea kind of friend to me!” Esspcially since her book inspired my new art piece in my Etsy.com shop.

After thinking about this a little more though I thought about the signifigance of having “tea” with a friend. I mean you can easily down 3 cocktails at a bar on a friday night with some gal pals, you can easily walk down to Java Joes with your co-workers 3 times in one day and then bolt back to your cube, but how many people can you really sit and have 3 cups of tea with? How many friends do I have that are patient enough to sit with me through all of my drama, jokes and reinactments of lunacy in broad daylight? If you have a “3 cups of tea kind of friend” I suggest you hold on to them tight and make them some cupcakes tonight cause those kind of sweeties are a rare and exotic sugar cane.

However, as far as tea goes…..I am way over it! I was doing a detox for the past few months and the only way I will ever take green tea again is if it’s a ice cream, fozen yogurt or mochi flavor. However, if you want the best Soy milk chai tea in the WHOLE WIDE IRVINA WORLD…(which covers travel to 6 countries) you’ll want to go to Alta in Newport Beach. It only comes in medium though (which equals 3 Irvina mini tea cups Have great day friends! xoxoxo
