Tea Fact1:  
Dry tea leaves will take odor.  
Good: Dry used tea leaves (just lay on newspaper over 
night) and put them in a jar or any container. use in 
fridge like baking soda or leave in shoe box. 
Bad : Brand new tea left in unsealed container/bag in 
fridge, next to natto or kimuchi. 
 
Tea Fact2: 
When you wake up with puffy eyes, put used green tea bags 
on eyes. (Yes, I said tea bags) or you can use tissue 
paper. Put it in freezer for few minutes to make it colder 
if you like. Don’t do: Black tea – gives you a black circle 
and become a panda. 
 
Continued from the beginning: 
For those who know Kathleen, there were suggestions for her 
to be: a coffin, Hillary Clinton, John Maccain, Amy 
Winehouse, a normal person… and more. Ask her what she is 
going to be this Halloween if you are interested. 
 
Thank you for reading and see you later, 
TOMOMI
