Best Sources For Natural And Organic Coupons
Monday, July 14th, 2008Recently, I’ve started taking large chunks off my weekly grocery bill by using coupons for all of my favorite organic companies. My coupon folder is bulging with several piles of mostly $1 off coupons for several healthy products and I’ve saved well over $100, over the last two months. You might be […]
Bombilla Gourd Mate’ Tea
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Last week, I was busy running errands all afternoon. I was feeling cranky, hot, tired and thirsty- a bad combination. I had several more stores to go to, so decided to pick up a healthy snack and a cold drink from Whole Foods. My eyes quickly scanned their refrigerated drink section and a […]

Pizza Stone is Worth the Dough
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008I picked up a pizza stone on an impulse while on vacation recently. I’ve been wanting one for a while because my pizza is a bit lackluster and I was hoping a pizza stone would elevate my crust to restaurant quality.

Foods That Stain Teeth
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Certain foods stain teeth more than others. Dark colored drinks like coffee, cola and tea are some of the worst offenders. You don’t have to cut these things out of your diet completely to keep your teeth stain free. Just make sure you limit your intake of them or rinse your mouth out with […]
Coffee is Still Good for You
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Another report about the health benefits of coffee came out recently. Normally I just ignore these reports because they are so numerous and seem contradictory, but this time I decided to post a few of my own thoughts on coffee.
I’m a latecomer to the wonderful world of coffee. I didn’t start drinking coffee regularly […]
KIND Fruit And Nut Bars
Friday, June 13th, 2008Yesterday, I arrived at the grocery store feeling tired and burned out from running errands all day. My first instinct was to go to the store’s cafe and order some coffee to help me get through the task of grocery shopping. But, I changed my mind when I walked past a display of healthy snack […]
Yerba Mate
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008I’m about due to put in another tea order with Teavana. I picked up some Yerba Mate on my last order and really enjoyed it. I’m mainly accustomed to green tea varieties and the mate teas offer a pleasant change with a very distinct taste.
A relative of the holly bush, yerba maté is grown […]
