She got it for me, in NYC, around August of last year (2014), and since then, I haven't personally seen this package in any of the local Face Shop near me.Since finding these gems, I've been using them, for the last few days, over my usual Bath and Body Works Lotions and been pleasantly surprised and somewhat pleased by the products itself. (✿◠‿◠)
From this package you get the following items:
-Green Tea Mild Body Gel Lotion
-Green Tea Hand Gel Cream
-Green Tea Mild Body Wash
-A Loofah (not pictured)
At the back label, all of the products are described as "This fresh green tea scented product, makes you feel comfortable as if you take a walk in the forest." In addition, the products are said to have having green tea extract & olive oil within it.

"The antioxidant-rich Korean green tea and Olive oil leave your body healthy and glowing. Light texture lotion gets absorbed and provides plenty of hydration and nourishment. Enjoy your bath time with fresh green tea body care."
The description of the Hand Gel Cream is:
"The antioxidant-rich Korean green tea and Olive oil leave your hands healthy and glowing. Have your hands fresh all the time with green tea hand gel cream!"
Unlike the the body lotion, the hand lotion, is very thick in the gel-consistency, which I love, because it feels great and leaves my hands feeling smooth and soft. Also in comparison of the body lotion, the scent of the hand lotion is very pleasant and subtle.
The one thing that I don't enjoy about this product, is the size! ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ﾉ Since the amount is much smaller than the other two products. but due to the fact it is a hand lotion, it's understandable.
From the three products, the gel lotion is the only one that is not clear colored and see through. Also, and despite, the name and labelled "gel", the lotion does not have a gel-consistency at all, in a comparison with the other two products.

In all honesty, I didn't find anything special with the lotion, to me, it's just a regular lotion, like any lotions you can find at the Bath & Body Works Shop. A thing that I didn't like about this particular product was the fact it had a weird smell to it.
Other than that, it was generally okay.

The description of the Mild Body Wash is:
"The antioxidant-rich Korean green tea and Olive oil leave your body healthy and glowing. Abundant and light lather cleanse deep inside the skin and bring out liveliness and energy to tired skin. Enjoy your bath time with fresh green tea body care."
Like the hand gel lotion, the body wash has a nice smell to it. However, while it does have a gel substance to it, its a lot thinner than the hand gel. Surprisingly, the body wash leaves my skin feeling the smoothest and I believe it's most likely due to the fact that when washed under water with the body wash, foam appears.

If you guys ever stumble upon this package or the products separately, I would highly recommend, the body wash and the hand gel. I would skip out on buying the body lotion because I feel like it`s like any generic lotion you can get anywhere, but just with green tea.
||Places of Vancouver||
If you're a fellow Vancouverite and are a big fan of high tea or a self-proclaimed "foodie", haha, than you might have heard of a high tea place called Shaktea, on Main St.
Due to the fact that place is not of what a typical fancy and girly high tea would be, it's not surprising that the decorations and plating are casual.
What I like about how they organized the tiers was the the first two platings were sweet desserts, while the bottom plating was savory foods.

Whereas previous high tea places I have been to, have been uber girly and princess-like, Shaktea is unique as it provides a more cool, relax and hipster atmosphere.
Like all high tea experiences, Shaktea provides the opportunity for people to converse and taste the food. However, unlike some previous places I've been too, Shaktea gives off a more relaxing environment, a sort of hangout where you can study with friends. The place even has some old-school board games for you and your friends to play while eating!

 |
| The first tier, a plating of sweets. |
 |
| The second tier, pastry sweets. |
 |
| The third tier, the choice of a crumpet. |
The food that were given, were delicious, my favourite one was the salmon crumpet which was surprising because I have a sweet tooth, I would pick a sweet item over a savory one anyday.
 |
| Matcha green tea! |
Of course, with high tea, you cannot go without it! I picked my favourite kind, matcha green tea (hmm, fittingly for this entire post, I might add!), and it was so good!

I'm not sure when I will update next, because this upcoming week is going to be very hectic for me, since I have two papers to do, and two more midterms. :/ (It's going to be a long week).
But I will show you a picture of what I'm excited to review next and hopefully will post about it very soon! :D

| Isn't this palette so pretty??? |
I'm lucky enough that I have a relative who works for Sephora, and was able to give me a discount of Tarte cosmetics' Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette! I'm so excited to use it, and will definitely write a review on it.
Thanks for reading,
Courtney ♡
