Red Leaf Tea


For me, my first encounter with matcha was love at first taste. The first time I had it was in a smoothie at my favorite juice bar. It was creamy, intense, and filled with green tea goodness. I couldn't get enough. It actually became my favorite drink. Not long after, matcha gained a lot of popularity, and now you can find it all over---even at Starbucks (Green Tea Frappuccino + extra matcha = amazing)!


Now you might be wondering, "What is Matcha?"

Matcha, also sometimes spelled "Maccha" is a high quality, finely ground green tea powder. This creates a strong, but sweet flavor. Whether you simply enjoy the strong flavor, or need a natural energy boost in the morning or early afternoon, matcha is a great option.




I received a sample of Red Leaf Tea's caramel flavored matcha for review. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, and I have tried it both ways. I use 2 tsp per 8 oz. milk, which is double the amount instructed in the directions. I used a whisk the first time to incorporate the matcha into warm milk, and it did leave lumps. The best method is to use a food processor or blender to mix it, so it is nice and smooth. With 2 tsp, I think it has a nice, pleasant flavor. Red Leaf Tea matcha seems to have a more bitter flavor than some matchas which is not my favorite. I am not personally a big fan of the caramel matcha, but I look forward to trying the vanilla matcha sometime in the near future!  

Red Leaf Teas offers a wonderful matcha that is 100% natural, 0g of fat, no MSG, no food coloring, no artificial sweeteners, and no preservatives. It is also low-calorie, at only 4 calories a serving. Red Leaf Teas has over 100 flavors to choose from, and it is also affordable, at under $1 per serving. If you love the Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino just like me, Red Leaf Tea even has a green tea that is comparable to the Starbucks one

Kat's Naturals Pure CBD Oil Review

Image
Kat's Naturals sent me over bottles of their CBD oils to try out. I want to disclose that I personally did not use the oils. This review is based from my grandpa. My Grandpa suffers with severe pain all the time from arthritis, not sleeping due to pain, and many other things. He recently started using CBD oil and immediately noticed a HUGE difference in pain and his sleeping patterns. Once Kat's Naturals said they would work with me, I knew I had to give them to him to try.                                                                             The 2 oils they sent me were Heal and Relax. Heal is flavored with peppermint and Relax with orange.  This the Heal oil. It is 1500mg CBD per ounce which is the strongest my grandpa had ever used. He had only used 300mg before. My grandpa was so cute, he called me to tell me how he liked it, he even offered to type something up for me. He really is the cutest! He told me "I have used 3 other companies CBD oil

QALO rings

QALO was very kind and sent me 2 of their rings to review. I received one female and one male ring in the color slate. QALOs rings are very unique, they are a silicone band that comes in so many colors. QALO is perfect for anyone, especially those who are active.                                                      QALO even offers personalization! If you and your significant other have pet names or a special date that's important to you; you can pick out your favorite QAO ring and they will engrave the inside of it for you.                                       QALO offers so many options, and colors. They even sell a line of rings that donates part of the money made from sales to different law enforcement, firefighters, etc. My favorite thing about QALO is how comfortable their rings are. You don't have to worry about working hard and losing a diamond, or scratching the gold. Its silicone, super budget friendly, and the variety means everyone can find something they l

It's time for another  Nadine West review.                                                                         This 3 quarter length shirt is so cute. I love the details on the front. This pairs with leggings and jeans which is perfect. The picture of this doesn't do it justice. This wine colored top has peek-a-boo shoulders. It has ruffles around the chest . Its fitted at the bottom which lays beautifully on your waist. This is my favorite top I received this month. This grey sweater was a close 2nd for me. The back has this adorable crisscross pattern that adds the perfect touch. This is also the softest sweater this month. This short sleeve shirt is so cute for not only the winter, but year round. I love the slits on top of the sleeves. It adds some simple details that takes it from a plain t-shirt to a cute one. My husband is a HUGE space buff. I showed him these and he said these are his favorite leggings I own now. LOL As always, the
