♡ 10 THINGS THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE ♡

Thursday 31 December 2015

New Years Eve, we have waited 365 days for this important night. A night to let your hair down, forget all the shitty mistakes you made in 2015 and promise yourself  how 2016 is going to be sooooo much better. Personally, I've had a great year - I had the most amazing 5 months in America, some time in Bournemouth with my uni friends, summer in Gibraltar and finishing it off working in London! If anything I am kind of sad at how uneventful 2016 is going to be in comparison. Anyway, enough about me, here are 10 things that are bound to happen tomorrow evening.



♡ 10 RESOLUTIONS EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE FOR 2016 ♡

Sunday 27 December 2015

As the end of 2015 quickly approaches, i'm sat here thinking to myself, how many of last years resolutions did I actually keep? I probably weigh the same as last year (or slightly more), I have no new tattoos, and still haven't started that band i've been talking about for the past 2 years. Here are some slightly more achievable ideas for the New Year!

♡ YOU: IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO YOUR EX AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM? ♡

Monday 21 December 2015

Everyone remembers their first love, or their last, but sometimes a lot of things go said unsaid and you never really get any closure. Sometimes just telling someone about it, or writing a letter to them but never posting does the trick, so instead, I asked you guys - if you had the chance to speak to your ex again (or maybe you still do, juicy) what would you tell them? Read 15 people's responses below!




♡ GIANA VISITS: THAI KOSAI MASSAGE THERAPY ♡

Sunday 20 December 2015

Hi Guys, hope you've all had a great weekend! I've been super busy this week and just arrived back in Gibraltar on Friday for my Christmas holiday. This month has been pretty fun but stressful, so I was very excited to receive my first Thai massage at a Central London boutique. Read about my experience below!


♡ DAY 11: CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST ♡

Saturday 19 December 2015

There's only 6 days until Christmas guys!! Where has the month gone?! (and two more days of these christmassy posts, so if you're not a very festive person, it will be over soon I promise!) I felt like my posts were lacking in a few festive jams... so I've made a playlist of my top christmas tracks that you can play straight from this post! Enjoy.

♡ DAY 12: GIANA'S CHRISTMAS WISH LIST ♡

This post will be particularly useful if you have me for Secret Santa and haven't bought my gift yet, otherwise this is me just keeping a handy list of things I want from Santa this year! (Or that I will end up buying for myself when the sales in January start...) Although what tends to happen is my mum ends up sending me most of my presents to my address in UK or I buy them myself and keep them "unused" until the 25th, mainly due to the fact there's a lot more stuff to buy over there than in Gibraltar, but I wouldn't complain if all my gifts were from MAC. Maybe you might find some ideas for yourself too!

  

DAY 10: THINGS THAT YOU'RE BOUND TO EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT CHRISTMAS.

Thursday 17 December 2015

Everyone's Christmas is usually different, we all have our different traditions and highs and lows of the holidays. That being said, there are a couple of things that none of us can really escape....


♡ DAY 9: CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY! ♡

Sunday 13 December 2015

Hi Guys, so i've had my blog for just under a year now and i've managed to hit my goal of 25,000 hits! A few months ago I would have been happy with just 10,000, and my blog has gone from being somewhere where I could share my experiences with my friends and family (and vent) to giving me a platform to talk about everything and anything and involve YOU guys.


It's not all about numbers, i'm greatful people take the time to read the things I write and share it with their friends. I've already been given the opportunity to try out some great products and experiences, as well as getting to know some of you and about your lives and opinions. Can't wait to see what's in store in 2016!

ANYWAY let's get to the part you all care about, seeing as it's December and Christmas is around the corner, i've decided to do a little giveaway in order to celebrate hitting the 25K "milestone"!

The "Prize" Includes:

Victoria's Secret Love Spell Fragrance
Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Body Lotion
Skinny Teatox 2 Week Kit 
Laroc Make-Up Brush Set
"Christmas Cookie" and "Candy Cane Lane" Yankee Candles

note the photo used in this post is not the actual prize, I just don't have all the stuff on me to take a full photo!

How Do I Enter?

Share/RT my post on Facebook or Twitter
Leave a comment below on what you're asking Santa for this Christmas!

once you've done BOTH these things you'll be entered into the draw on Thursday 17th December.

DAY 8: BEST AND WORST GIFTS TO BUY FOR SECRET SANTA.

Saturday 12 December 2015

Secret Santa can be a wonderful thing, it means you can just focus all your present buying on one person instead of buying 10 mediocre presents for all your friends (and damaging your bank account). Sometimes it can suck, like when you have to spend £30 on that person you really don't like in your office, in which case pick a present from the bad list! Here are some of my picks!

BLOGMAS 15 | CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR YOUR WHOLE FAMILY, SORTED! ♡

Tuesday 8 December 2015


If you're reading this, you've probably left your Christmas shopping until the last minute and are possibly looking for some inexpensive gift ideas for your loved ones. These gifts are just general ideas but feel free to mix and match and get them for other people! Or you could always find something unused in your room and give them that instead.



♡ 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS WITH G ♡

Tuesday 1 December 2015

So December has officially arrived, it is NOW acceptable to put up your Christmas trees, screw the diet, and play Justin Bieber's "Under The Mistletoe" album. I am also very upset that I forgot to buy my chocolate advent calendar this year, but at least i'll save 50p on it now at Tesco. ANYWAY, to celebrate the season, i'll be doing 12 days of christmas posts from everything to your favourite stories, to the worst gifts you've received, and even some fun drinking games for the holidays! I am aware the "12 Days of Christmas" technically start on the 25th, but this will all be pretty irrelevant then.



For most of these posts, I'm going to need the help of you guys! So check the list below and if you feel like you have anything to share, contact me on any of my social media platforms or email me at gianaspiteri@gmail.com 


1. Favourite Christmas Movie 

2. Best gift you've ever received

3. Worst gift you've ever received

4. Christmas family traditions

5. Funny/Awkward/Embarrassing/Memorable stories at christmas time! 


Your name will be kept anonymous if you wish, just make sure to let me know. I will also be doing a christmas giveaway at the end of it, details to follow at a later date! - yay free stuff for you!! -

ABOUT TEA WITH GI.

I started this blog back in January 2015 when I left for a semester in the States, as a way of keeping my friends and family updated on all my adventures, instead of copy/pasting the same story 10 times. I currently live in Gibraltar, having just completed a degree in Events Management at Bournemouth University.



You can probably see I write a bit of everything and anything on here - but mostly lifestyle, travel and beauty. It is all fairly light hearted and if you know me personally, you'll find my personality pretty much comes through on my posts. Also incase some of you aren't aware by what the meaning behind the blog name is...it simply means to enjoy a cup of tea whilst reading my blog (not that my blog is dedicated to writing about tea or that my name is tea) I hope you find this blog enjoyable to read as much as I love writing the posts!

I do work with brands (and fellow bloggers) and when a product has been gifted to me you will find a (*) next to the product or on the title, all posts will be my honest opinion and I won't published posts that I do not agree with or do not suit my content. If you want to contact me about general queries, product reviews, sponsored posts, collaborations or events please email me at gianaspiteri@gmail.com
