Tea Party No. 2

    When to +Teavana for the first time! Great experience!


I needed a mug so I went there. My purchase was extended though after getting some tea.


I had to get a tea with a caffeine kick because of my morning class. The Teavana guy suggested that I try the JavaVana Mate black tea. It has a strong flavor and tastes a bit like coffee. He also suggested that to give it the "Caramel latte" effect I could mix it with the CocoCaramel Sea Salt herbal Tea. Teavana associates were nice enough to steep a little bit before I purchased it and they were right! Taste just like a latte that I would get at a coffee shop. 


I like my teas sweet as well. Usually I add honey but I wanted to try something new. So I purchased 2 oz bag of the German Rock Sugar. These look like incense rocks but they taste just like sugar and they don't affect the taste of the beverage. 


+Teavana teas must be kept in air tight tins. After my purchase I couldn't afford to get a Teavana tea tin for $6. So I went to Target and got two of these Star Wars coin banks. Together they only cost me $5. I used some tape to cover the coin slot so now they are functional just like any other tin. Check out Teavana.com and take a look at their delicous teas!

Meatless Mondays with MorningStar Farms


As a +BzzAgent I have to discuss MorningStar Farms products that are helping me make Meatless Mondays a reality! I was lucky enough to receive these products free or at a discount at my local supermarket because +BzzAgent sent me coupons to try them out. I was not paid by anyone. So what's my verdict on these meatless boxes? I find them absolutely amazing!


Breakfast: Above is the Hot & Spicy Sausage patties that are a great addition to my morning routine. Throw them in a microwave for a couple of minutes then combine it with some scrabbled eggs + shredded cheese on top of a whole wheat english muffin. Delicious! Looks like sausage, tastes like sausage but it's not sausage!


Lunch/Dinner: Above are the Grillers Californing Turk'y & Asian Veggie Patties. Both of these are great for lunch or dinner. I am a big fan of the Asian patties and I'm looking forward to trying the Turk'y patties.

Kellogg's Crunchy Nut


I'm one of those guys who can live off of cereal for a day and be happy. +BzzAgent was kind enough to select me for the Crunchy Nut BzzCampaign. They sent me this box along with some coupons absolutely FREE! BzzAgent's only request is that I try out the product for free and give feedback. This cereal is ridiculously delicious. I got the box in the afternoon and couldn't wait til the next morning to try it out. I had to  try it ASAP. So this was my afternoon snack. Crunchy Nut comes in three flavors. I had received the Golden Honey Nut. I totally enjoyed the sweet crispiness of the flakes. The tiny pieces of peanuts on the flakes made it even more tastey. I love anything with peanuts. Honey is just a great sweetener. Together these made an awesome treat. What I really enjoyed though was finishing the milk that was left behind. The honey that covered the flakes sweetened the milk making the experience more enjoyable. I will definitely  buy another box of this. You can check out more information on the cereal here http://www.kelloggscrunchynut.com/

Gillette Mach 3




Needed some  new razors so I got the Gillette Mach 3 - Sensitive 6 pack. I found these on Amazon.com during the after Christmas days and they finally arrived. Tried one out and it did the job! I'm clean shaven and I had no cuts! It has a nice rubbery grip so it will stay in your hand. It contains an lubricant strip which is very helpful to reduce irritation but always use shaving gel/cream as well. There are 3 sharp blades. 3 blades are better than 2 blades and way better than 1 blade. I've tried four blades but those were just to bulky and 3 blades do the same job as a 4 blade. I bought the sensitive model but I read somewhere that it's basically the same thing as the regular. I can't say you should go out and try this because I only used it once. However, it did a fine job for my first use.

New Resolution: Shaving in the Shower? I got the Solution!


Just tried out this new product that I bought from +Amazon.com. This is the Shavestick: precision shaving wand from +Menskin. If you want or already shave in the shower this a great tool. While showering wet your face. In addition, take the black cap off and wet the tip of the product then start rubbing the wand all over your face until you sense a lather forming. It's just like shaving cream but there's no mess! I'm so glad I got this because this will save so much time getting ready in the morning. It makes the shaving ritual easier! It's hypoallergenic & paraben free. Here is the only drawback that I see right now and that is it is pricey. I purchased mine at around $15. Usually it's about $20-22. The one I purchased was the Platinum scent. It's a light, clean scent with top notes of tangerine,ozone accord and juniper, heart notes of lavender, cypress, and geranium and base notes of musk, patchouli, and cedarwood. The are other scents as well: Citron, Vigor, Stealth and Ice (unscented). You can find this at Amazon or groominglounge.com or shopmasc.com. Try it!
