Hello Readers!
This is my first post for Tea A-Z, and I decided to make it about teas that helps you when you want to lose weight, and they're yummy, also!
 
Green Tea:
Green tea has so many benefits, and luckily one of them is losing weight. It can burn 70 calories a day! Steep it for two-three minutes and enjoy
 
Peppermint Tea:
Peppermint speeds up digestion, especially when mixed with green tea. Steep peppermint tea leaves for four-five minutes.
 
Rose Tea:
Apart from clearing toxins and beautifying the skin, rose tea contains vitamins A, B3, C, D and E and is known to act against infections. It also prevents constipation and helps you to lose weight.
 
Oolong Tea:
Research believes that Oolong may even have a stronger effect than green tea to losing weight. It promotes fat burning and is said to help reduce cholesterol and the concentration of fat in the body. About two cups a day is recommended. Steep Oolong tea anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes, for a more full bodied cup.

Flavor: If you usually don't like the taste of most of these teas, you can add honey, but it loses the benefits of them and you won't lose weight from the teas. If you want, have a cup that's sweetened once a week, to reward yourself.
If you hate tea anyway, maybe you should find a different way to diet, but its always okay, we all have our different tastes :)
 
I hope this helped, and don't give up, its always wonderful to try to be a healthier, happier you!
 
Any questions or comments, ask in the comments below! I will try to reply to them.

This month's must read is Looking for Alaska by John Green.
 
Get it at the library or buy it at a store because it is a beautiful book!

Hey readers!
These are picked by me that I listed under top 5 for this month. They may not be the newest or the "coolest" of the bunch, but they certainly should be watched!
 
They are a mix of music genres, and each month is different. And they are not by rank, they are all amazing.
 
1 . SheWolf (Falling to Pieces) By - David Guetta feat. Sia
I love this music video because it draws you in. It is very simple yet crazy at the same time. And the ending makes you think.

2. Princess of China - By - Coldplay Feat. Rihanna
Awesome song with an awesome music video. Rihanna is beautiful in it, and the whole video is beautifully made.

3. The Chambers & The Valves - By - Dry The River
This is such an unique video, and I watched it because of the weirdness. Its quirky, somehow happy, and makes you want to dance

4. Sweet Nothing - By - Calvin Harris Feat. Florence Welch
Honestly I was a little confused at the beginning of it. It seemed kinda boring and odd. But at the end you finally know that you love it

5. Little Talks - By - Of Monsters And Men
You might've heard this song a lot on the radio, and you might've gotten tired of it. But, the music video is a must watch. It is so weird and utterly out of this world that you have to see it and find out what happens!

So take a little moment of your time in the day and watch these videos. Trust me, its worth it, I watched these and they are now on my favorites list.
 
Hope you liked the songs, and comment below some cool music videos that you think should be featured!
 
Until next time,
- xoxo, Kara
