Organic Matcha Review

I am excited to share with you Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha Culinary Grade Green Tea Powder.  

The fine green powder in the package can be used daily for:

• Lattes
• Smoothies
• Baking

What can Matcha do for you?

• It provides 4 to 6 hours of slowly and steady energy boost. It acts as a stimulant and a relaxant. This helps for stressful days.
• Matcha green tea gives your Metabolism a boost. It heightens thermogenesis, which is the body's way of burning calories. Normally we burn 8% to 10%, and this increases to 35% and 43%.
• Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps to protect your skin. It improves blood flow, oxygen levels, and protects from harmful UV rays. 
• It contains antioxidants, which is important for the aging process. Matcha Green Tea naturally helps defend against oxidation, and many age related diseases. 

Green Tea Matcha Latte 

  Put 1 teaspoon of Green Tea Matcha Latte in a mug.
 

Add 2 oz hot water. We just warmed the water in the microwave, added it, and stirred until it became a smooth paste.

We steamed 6 oz of your choice of milk. We added the steamed milk to the already dissolved Matcha.

The end result was pretty good. I have to say that I liked it more than my husband did. I shared some with my Dad, and he enjoyed his just in hot water.

My Thoughts:

• I love that you can use Green Tea Matcha in different ways. Knowing that I can have some in hot water on days that I'm busy is great. I can also have it in smoothies, baking, and lattes, which are awesome for when I have the time to make them.
• It's free from chemicals and preservatives. 
• I love that I'm getting extra greens in my diet. The benefits are great!

Awards

Isaak got an award at school. He was pretty excited. They get awards for having good behavior. For a long time I thought awards were silly. Shouldn't have have good behavior without getting an award? Then I realized how they strive to be good. They get excited for all those good/green dots.

He was comparing himself to so and so in the classroom. Mica got awarded in the past.

I said, "Isaak this isn't about so and so, or Mica, this is about you. You have to have good behavior to get an award. It may, or may not happen right away. Your teacher can't give awards to everyone at once."

He seemed to understand. For four days in a row he said, "I had a green dot for good behavior today Mom!"

Now he has an award that he deserved. He's happy about it.

If he gets more of these, he gets a medal, and lunch with the principle.

What do you think of school awards?

I have tried a product from Immortal Energy before. This great product was just as wonderful.  

Ingredients:

• Deer Antler (Lu Rong) is widely used in Asia, and now throughout the world. It's used to strengthen adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It's a rejuvenating agent.

Inside the packet are pills. You can take 3 to 4 capsules as needed, or as directed by a health care professional. 

You can dissolve them in warm water, or open them up and add them to smoothies.

I chose to add them into a smoothie.

I used the seeds from 1 pomegranate. If you have never taken the seeds out of a pomegranate it's so easy. Cut it open, add it to a bowl of water, and take the seeds out. All the white stuff floats to the top. The seeds sink to the bottom. It took me 3 minutes.

I added one organic apple.

I added one Immortal Energy capsule.

You will need to add some water, and/or ice. You can do this in the blender, but I used the Nutribullet. If you are not a seed person, you may want to juice these things, and add the Immortal Energy to your juice. The seeds are packed full of nutrients, so I drink them.

This made 4 small drinks. 

What are my thoughts?
I love that Immortal Energy is 100% all natural. It's great to know that I'm getting things I don't normally get.

Cane Expressions Review

I've been eying Cane Expressions for awhile. My Mom had Polio when she was little; more recently she had her ankle fused.  

Here is the inside of her ankle:

Her ankle is more hardware than ankle. She's past using a walker, and rolleraid. Now she uses a cane. Alone the cane is not so fashionable. That's where Cane Expressions has helped. 

How to use slip on the cane cover:

1. Their cane covers fit any standard cane.
2. Take the cane apart, or remove the rubber stopper.
3. Slip the cane cover on, and put the cane back together. 
4. If it gets dirty, just machine or hand wash in cold water. Then put it on the line to dry.

It's so easy an 8 year old can do it. :)

Your cane. Your style: 

They have so many patterns and colors to pick to put on your cane. Now my mom wants more. She really wants a white and black one.

We love the variety of colors and patterns they come in. It's nice because now my mom's cane will stand out. They are easy to take on and off. The cleaning part is simple to.

Their Story:
"Rhonda's 75 year old mothers was having issues with balance and with her knees. She needed to use a cane, but did not want to, as it made her feel old and it was unattractive.

A friend decided to bead her cane for her as a craft project. She took a beaded belt and glued it to the shaft of the cane. Rhonda's mom began using the cane and was delighted when people stopped her and complimented her on her beautiful cane."
