A very good tea: Jardin Our Tea
I bought something from Joom and the seller, located in South Korea, sent me a gift composed by some facemasks and teas. Both of them were amazingly good! The tea is Jardin Our Tea, a Korean tea. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a way to buy it, but maybe in the future there will be a way.

Favorite November Foods
This November I got some favorite foods that I particularly like eating. I don’t know why my body likes them so much, but here they are: It is not everything that I eat in a day, but it is what I like most this autumn. I also love beef stew, but I love it all year round, so I didn’t include it here. So, what do I like eating this November? 1. Schär gluten free bread with seeds. I don’t always eat gluten-free, but this bread feels so good to my gut. 2. Roquefort cheese made from raw (unpasteurised) milk. I like the fact that it is made from raw…

REVIEW: Wedderspoon Raw Premium Manuka Honey, KFactor 16
Types of Manuka Honey and why I chose Wedderspoon The majority of Manuka Honeys have an MGO factor, the higher, the better. I heard the wonders of Manuka Honey and I wanted to try it too. It just happened that the store had a Wedderspoon sale and I bought the one you can see in the photos. I was aware that Wedderspoon isn’t MGO certified and have their own scale, “Kfactor”, but it didn’t bother me. I like diversity in products. Manuka Honey – Does it really work? Manuka honey is known for its antibiotic-like effect, but without the downsides of real antibiotics. It is said that Manuka kills pathogens,…

How to make the healthiest mulled red wine
Traditional mulled red wine Red wine is known for its healthy properties, especially for gut, heart and blood pressure health. The classic recipe is that you almost boil the wine, mix it with cinnamon and oranges and apples and whatever other tasty stuff. The internet is full of mulled (boiled) red wine recipes, each tastier than the others. But which one of them is the healthiest? Well, none of them. The best way to preserve ALL the healthy properties of the red wine is NOT to make it hotter than 60°C (140°F). This is the main problem with the mulled red wine. People heat it really strong, some even boil…

Aloe Vera – A good plant to have at your house
Easy to take care of I love having an Aloe Vera plant at home. It is very easy to take care of, doesn’t require a lot of care. Just put it in an ordinary place with some sun and water it once a week. It is not a demanding plant, but it has tons of benefits. For cooking-related burned skin If you cook regularly, you might have burned your skin with steam. I know I did… I just cut an aloe vera leaf and with the gel inside it I massage the burned area of my skin. The burned are will heal very-very quick and the pain will diminish considerably.…

REVIEW: Weider Nut Protein Choco Vegan Crunchy
Vegan or simple? When buying a few Weider products for my family, I decided to try the Weider Nut Protein Choco Vegan Crunchy. I oscillated between the vegan nut choco and the simple one (NUT PROTEIN CHOCO), but ultimately I chose the Vegan Nut Protein Choco because it contains 16% hazelnuts, whereas the simple one contains only 11% hazelnuts. Also, in comparison with the simple Choco and with other chocolate spreads, it doesn’t contain palm oil. It is also gluten free. How does it taste? Very good. I used to like Nutella, but I hate it because it has tons of sugar and it is unhealthy because of the chemicals…

Christmas Cookies… Yummy yummy
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful time! As you may know, I love Christmas cookies, especially German “Lebkuchen” (Gingerbread 🙂 ). Last year I wrote an article about the Schulte Gingerbread, which tasted amazing. This year I’m eating the Bahlsen Akora Gingerbread, that is covered in chocolate and has a jelly heart. Although I am not a jelly fan, I loved these ones. They weren’t dried, their texture was very good. Bahlsen has tons of gingerbread types, but unfortunately I couldn’t find the others. Maybe next year… Apart from the gingerbread, I’m also eating these super-cute “Zimtsterne”. They are perfect in combination with tea. When I first saw…

One of my favorite Store-Bought Pies: Refletes du France – Gâteau breton à la crème de pruneaux
Refletes du France is in fact one of my favorite food brands. I could probably eat and enjoy 90% of their products. They have 438 products and each one of them is made from a traditional french recipe and they use high quality ingredients. Unfortunately, in my country there is available only a limited range of products. But, among this teeny-tiny range, I discovered what became my favorite pie. Yup, favorite pie. The product is kind of funny since it comes cut in half (probably they cut it so you could see the prune cream inside). It is called Gâteau breton à la crème de pruneaux, meaning “Breton cake with prune…

Plastic and Stainless Steel Straw Hysteria
This article is about straw usage on a daily basis and states that in most cases straw usage is unnecessary. I am not writing about out of ordinary activities that actually might require straws. The stainless steel straw craze Slowly, all youtube gurus have started to use stainless steel straws. I’m just watching their videos amazed by the fact that: They need to drink with a straw. They drink all kind of stuff with a straw (lemonade, coffee, smoothies, milkshakes etc.) They don’t punch their teeth with the inox thingy. I understand that this craze comes from the fact that people use too much plastic. But… but… but… why the…

A Healthy Breakfast – Oatmeal, Milk and More
My breakfast Some time ago I discovered the best breakfast I’ve ever had. It basically consists of the following ingredients: oats low-fat milk cinnamon 1/2 banana or some other fruits chia or other type of seeds (sometimes) Of course I’ve eaten oats before (and other type of cereals too), but this particular recipe is the best for me. The recipe: I take 1/3 cup of oats, I add milk until the cup is almost full and I let the oats soak through the night (in the fridge). In the morning, I heat a little bit the cup (just to get it to room temperature), I add 1/2 banana (sliced) or…
