    NYC Tea Tour Day One

    #NYCTeaTour: Day One First of all, I can’t believe I finally made it to New York with all my tea friends I made through our passion of tea.  Some of us met way back on Steepster others later on Instagram but one thing kept us together, our love of tea.  For years we met each…

  • Qi Aerista Smart Tea Brewer Review

    Qi Aerista Smart Tea Brewer Review

    I truly had the highest of hopes for this device.  While I could have received a defective item, I am also hearing a lot of feedback from other backers with issues as well. This was a Kickstarter that I was first made aware of back in 2016 World Tea Expo.  At the time I met…

  • Kombucha? Where to Start and Why

    Kombucha? Where to Start and Why

    If you have ever seen how Kombucha is made you would have thought it came straight out of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. Kombucha is after all, ALIVE!!! In fact it is one of the healthiest of drinks you can put in your body. What is Kombucha? Kombucha (also tea mushroom, Manchurian mushroom, formal name: Medusomyces gisevii[1]) is a variety of fermented,…

    The Hippies Had It Right

    No I’m not talking about “special” brownies. I’m actually talking about mushrooms. Yes, just like the ones the Super Mario Brothers were wise enough to eat and power up. You can learn so much from video games if you just pay attention. Important tip, those mushrooms they were eating aren’t actually safe for humans just…

  • Refined Sugar Experiment

    Refined Sugar Experiment

    Feels like ages since I last wrote my last blog post. Seems pretty accurate since it has been a while. I can tell you that starting school, dealing with wasp invasion in my home for two weeks, volunteer commitments, plus school issues with the kids, and a hectic schedule was what kept me away. All…

    Food Detective: Entry Four – FINAL

    Over, done, kaput, the juice cleanse is done. I learned a lot. More than I expected. Some good, some bad, but overall I am glad I went through it. I know I complained off and on but it wasn’t a difficult as I expected it to be. Perhaps it is my previous experience being on…

    Food Detective Diary: Entry Three

    882 calories, all liquid, for three days. Final day is today. However, let me tell you about day two. Every scent, every picture, every time I go into the kitchen I get the sudden urge to eat. I haven’t touched any food this whole time. I am strong and I will survive. The urge to…

    Food Detective Diary: Entry Two

    Survival was the only thing on my mind. How could I possibly drink juice for three days? I love food, for goodness sake I consider myself a foodie. I keep telling myself it is for a good cause. Clearing or resetting my body is what has to happen. I need to figure out what is…
