What about all those bad habits we have? Why not break some bad habits? Why not just work out, but eat healthier! Why not just learn a new language, but broaden your own? What are some other bad habits you guys are looking to break this year? I know I’ve got a long list I’m hoping to become shorter by 2011.

Eating organic/healthier foods was a goal in 2009, and I’ll carry that right into 2010. Working out goes right in line with that of course. How about excuses? Nobody likes them, so let’s just do away with them altogether. I think that will make our lives more efficient AND meaningful. I’m done slacking off on things I’ve been telling myself I will or will not do. I think the key is having a plan; Being prepared for that yummy delicious double bacon cheeseburger, or that mouth watering slice of pizza only suited for the gods.. I can’t believe I live in California and I don’t speak Spanish. Not only am I going to start to learn the language, I’m also going to broaden my English vocabulary. Maybe I’ll work on my commitment issues as well. Haha. There are a bunch more, but I’d like to start getting a few more ideas from you guys to start the year off right.

What are your resolutions? Are you starting or dropping a habit? Both? Aside from Resolutions, what about predictions? What are you guys looking forward to this year?! I can’t wait to see the World Cup in 3D.. So, my fellow sweet consumers, tell Granny and I whats up for you in 2010!!

Hey there Sweet Leaf Fans,

Granny and I just got back from a trip to our bottling facility and wow, we sure are cooking up something special for you!  It was incredible to see all of the steps it takes to get those tiny tea leaves into a bottle that can be delivered to your local Sweet Leaf hot spot.  Besides watching the caps zip down to the bottles like they’re on a race track, my favorite part was meeting all of our brew masters at the plant.  Each person takes extra special care to make sure our tea is the best possible tea available.  After all, they Sweet Leaf fans too.  And if you really want to have some fun, ask them what their favorite flavors are, because it’s sure to end in a battle. On our last day, the facility was brewing my favorite, Peach Sweet Tea, and wow it was awesome.  The whole place smelled like fresh baked peach pie and a cup of hot brewed sweet tea.  In other words,  absolutely delicious.  Although you won’t be able to smell the fresh brewed tea, you can still see what I saw if you set your DVR to record Unwrapped on June 22nd at 8 p.m. central on the Food Network.  Just be sure to have an open bottle next to ya, because I can guarantee it will make you thirsty.

Until next time Sweet Leaf Fans, stay hydrated!

Jacqui
