Sponsored Blog: The Green Tea Retreat

December 17, 2012

Whats the secret force behind every womans busy schedule? Tea, of
course. SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener, Minis presents a moment on the run
with our VitaminDaily.com editors as they share their secret caffeine
spots. Tea, yes. Break? Not today!

Sometimes Toronto feels like a concrete beehive. The closer to downtown
you live, the denser it becomes. It hums, and vibrates with all of the
artists sprawling, the keys being pushed, and the rumbling streetcar
tracks. Normally I love it. I love feeling like part of something, and
Toronto always feels like it’s starving and pushing forward.

But every once and a while, I need a breather. I can’t see anyone
anymore. I loathe the sight of my computer, and I need to spend some
time in my own head, away from all of the screaming messages. When this
happens, I hide behind Palais Royale.

This beautiful little nook is buried in sand, covered in driftwood
benches, and inhabited by some of the sweetest wee ducks. I grab a green
tea, toss my phone, bury my feet, and watch these guys scramble for
hotdog buns.

While I’m there I overhear kids riding bikes for the first time, smell
bonfires just down the beach, and remember how important the slowness of
life can be.
There is no better therapy.Katherine Holland
