I stopped and tried a white lavender tea soda. It was sweet, bubbly, refreshing and like a sparkling party in my mouth. What I mean to say is, it was super delish and I wanted more. When I thought about what went into the tea soda, I thought: dude, I could totally do this myself. And guess what, I totally did. Tea sodas...http://www.chickadvisor.com/article/refreshing-summer-drink-tea-soda-recipe/2013-06-19 06:00:00http://www.chickadvisor.com/article/gratuitous-hottie-face-off-superman-edition/It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! And what a super man, he is. Emphasis on the super. The latest addition to the Superman franchise came out this past Friday.

Whenever I see a photo of Miley Cyrus, I am usually equal parts cringing and envious. This occasion is no exception. Is this outfit just as confused as I am?

Don't we all? Unfortunately, the love is entirely one-sided. My fair-skinned bod skips right past a sun-kissed tawny glow and goes straight to lobster red.

Since joining us at ChickAdvisor, our newest co-op Shannon has been bragging about her culinary skills. Obviously, being the resident CA baker, I took offence.
