Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know my reason for being MIA yesterday. I’ve been sick and I cannot seem to take in any food at the moment. Everything I eat somehow manages to come back out (sorry for the disgusting imagery…><;).
Do you guys have any natural remedies or medicines that you would recommend?
I've been drinking teas to calm down the stomachache but it only helps for few minutes. And I really dislike taking those medicines (aka pills…).
I hope you all understand if I don't post for next few days. I think I should sleep because at least I could get away from the pain.
I'm really sorry for writing this kind of post!
Metromint is MINT water with added essence of other flavors.
Made with pure water and real mint, Metromint doesn’t just taste fresh, but makes you FEEL fresh! One sip of this stuff gives you cooling SENSATION throughout the body.
There are NO sweeteners, preservatives, or any other funky things. It is just pure water + mint + essence of either chocolate, orange, lemon, cherry, spearmint, or peppermint.
Metromint stimulates the nerves. From the moment it touches your tongue, it begins to refresh and soothe. The cooling feeling you get from drinking this water actually continues after the first taste. I really loved this.
Also, eating mint could relieve stress and stomach pains. It increases the flow of digestive juices. Thus, mint soothes the lining of the digestive tract, reducing inflammation in the nasal passages.
Another plus of mint water is that it gives an instant breath freshener. Mint kills bacteria in your mouth and keeps it moist.
Would you like to experience the cooling sensation of Metromint? This is perfect for hot summer days. They don’t need to be refrigerated to provide you COLD feeling. The mint really helps you cool down!!!!!

This giveaway ends next Tuesday, September 2nd.
Alpine Valley Bread Company dedicates to bring customers 100% natural, whole grain, and organic breads. Their products are naturally high in fiber and protein. No artificial flavors or processed ingredients.
You can find their products even at some Costco!
Between the bread layer, I put in fresh organic figs as my “spread” and A LOT of fresh basil leaves and green leaf lettuce. After toasting the bread, it was perfect!
The bread had SO MUCH flavor with a touch of honey. The first time I opened the package, the aroma of fresh sweet bread filled the whole room! It was soft and melty in my mouth. Of course, after being in the refrigerator, the soft texture was gone. However, toasting the bread solved everything. Toasted bread provided wonderful crunchy texture.
I really love their short ingredient list too. It is all organic and natural.
Alpine Valley also makes cinnamon rolls, granola, tortillas, pastries, muffins, croissants, foccacia, and baguette loaves as well.
What is your favorite brand of bread?
I definitely love my mom’s homemade bread but if I have to pick one, I would choose Ezekiel Sprouted bread! YUM!
P.S. Sorry for not posting the giveaway tonight! There was a misunderstanding with the company so I will probably post the giveaway once that gets settled! Thanks for understanding and your patience!
Komal Herbals sent me Kazana bars and Cashews to review.
Kazana Bars provide benefits of the herbal tonic, Praas. Praas is Amalaki, aka Amla berry or Indian goose berry. It is considered as super fruit in India. Known for its enormous health benefits, this fruit is the basis of an ancient herbal tonic PRAAS. With a blend of Praas and finest raw nuts, fruits, and spices, the bars produce super nutritious health benefits. There are 5 flavors including Mango Coconut, Chai, Cocoa Chip, Pistachio and Cashew Curry.
I didn’t get to try these bars because they included dairy. However, my sister tried them and provided wonderful reviews. Overall she loved them! Her favorites were Cocoa Chip, Mango Coconut and Pistachio. She thought Cashew Curry was really interesting because of the addition of curry. It was something that she has never tasted before. The combination of savory to nuts wasn’t her thing, so it didn’t take part in her favorite list. She didn’t care for Chai either because of that “spicy” feeling.
My other sister LOVED the Exotic Cashews and finished whole bag in one sitting. She said it was very addicting and the spices gave flavor to mild, creamy cashews.
Cashews came in different exotic flavors including Himalayan Secret and Sweet N Sour.
Some benefits of PRAAS:
1. stimulates metabolism
2. strengthens the immune system
3. provides powerful antioxidant protection
4. enhances digestion and absorption
5. improves concentration and memory
6. promotes detoxification
7. balances stress levels
8. invigorates the liver
9. supports normal blood sugar and healthy cholesterol levels
10. supports healthy lungs and respiration
11. helps ward off common coughs and colds
