YourTea - Tinyteatox First Impression!

So it's that time again, yet another teatox? Remember when I tried the HealthyMeTea? (Probably not) It's a teatox tea from the Aussie branch "SkinnyMeTea", although YourTea also is a Aussie brand I thought after so many positive reviews about it, I thought I would give it a go.

Also the fact hey had a 20% discount, kind of lured me into the teatox craze once again.

It's a tea blend made by the company "Your Tea", basically a group of friends that made their own teas, saw the results it gave and thought of sharing it with the world - read that off the box I got, but the thought is sweet~ I've heard both high and low about the "Tinytea" their teatox to aid weightloss and de-bloating of your stomach, help restore your clean glowy skin as well; sounds pretty win-win to most of us girls out there. 

It's a herbal Chinese blend consistent of :

Oolang tea, Jue Ming Zi, He Ye, Shan Zha, Lai Fu Zi, Chen Pi, Mai Ya

(contains gluten)

That little added label "contains gluten" is weird, I bought the 28-day Gluten Free Tinytea package, but I won't question it if they say it's gluten free...maybe. 

Anyways! In the SkinnyMeTea, as well as many other "teatox" teas, there's a Morning/day tea &  Evening/Goodnight tea: where in most cases the latter one contains laxative herbs perhaps such as 

- Senna, 

Senna leaves are used in countless of "slimming herbal" teas, mainly because of the laxative effect. It can be very strong and hurt your bowels a lot, so I really hope you guys will be careful! Always be careful with those kinds of products, if you don't care and just go with it you might end up having to rely on the tea to actually..poop. Your bowels won't be able to do it properly by itself, it can be very dangerous!

Not to scare you off by teatoxes cause you never know "how much" of senna leaves they actually use but, just be careful like with most things online or "slimming" products ^0^ /

I was gladly surprised at how fast this company ships their products out, I ordered the 28D GL package on the 24th of September and it was by my door on the 29th (Sept) so basically 5 days; I placed the order at night so it got shipped out the day after. So glad! Great service.

About the box, I love the design. Compared to other companies that just put it in reseal-able bags; be it loose tea leafs, I think this method is much nicer. It looks more professional and clean. Comparing to my SkinnyMeTea experience with the loose tea leafs in a bag it was very troublesome to measure everyday to make sure I had enough for a cup - for the next 14 days. It was just a mess that didn't taste good at all, actually on the first try I gagged so bad I - TMI - threw up in my cup.

I loved how the scent of herbs and I dunno, calmness just oozed out of the box when I opened it. I love opening it just to get a sniff of that scent. (sounding like a lunatic, oops)

I love my tea

I've had a few cups so far, and I would say I enjoy the taste. I wasn't really skeptical on the taste since most of the reviews I stumbled upon was by girls, most likely non-herbal/traditional tea drinking ones, I bet a Chinese wouldn't even think twice about the flavor since they're Chinese herbal blends + they're tea drinkers. 

Over all good first impression! I can't wait to try it out more and see what happens, hopefully my skin and body will welcome it's goodness if not, then..erm, it was the most expensive tea I've ever had. HAHA

Here's the video edition of my FIRST impression (unwrapping and everything)

Healthy Cooking - FFF | My Breakfast Oatmeal!

Good morning there! Hi! Right now I should be working out, but for some reason I've been procrastinating it for 2 hours now, just looking up raw foods and superfood supplements and sports corsets. I got a bend rib cage, on my left side my doctor recommended it but dude they're so expensive dawg. I really need that/a job ヾ(＠† ▽ †＠）ノ 

To follow along with my procrastination atm, I was going to write this last night but then it was 3AM and I had only re-sized the pictures and uploaded them and my boyfriend wanted to sleep, didn't get that post done then (´∀｀*) /stomachrumble.

NOW ONTO THE FOOD.

I always start off my day with a morning workout followed by a bomb ass breakfast. My "Anyday-Oatmeal-Breakfast" basically it's extremely simple oatmeal. But, very healthy oatmeal! 

Let's start off with our ingredients;

• 1 Banana 
• Cinnamon (powder, please)
• Water (If you don't like water you can sub with almond/soya/rice/etc milk, keep it healthy)
• Açaí powder (this step is optional, but it's really good for you! #SuperFood)
• Oats 

You take out your pot (this can also be done in the microwave with a big bowl but, do save yourself the risk of having to clean up your microwave if it goes wrong and drowns it) and a bowl, take you banana and mash it up to a nice smooth texture, or some chunks if you preferred this recipe is easily altered to your own preference, think of my recipe as mere guidelines ~ You should have a consistency like so;

Now take your oats, measured in tablespoons you will use 5 / 6 tablespoons of oats into your pot. I usually make it for both me and my boyfriend, so it goes to about 9-10 spoonfuls depending on how much you eat. But, 5 should be the golden number for you in this recipe, if not alter it yourself to 4 or 6.

You will want to add your "powders" first before adding the water, it's just because it's easier to handle and you won't freak out about it; it's too hot and you gotta stir it constantly so it doesn't burn etc, just a dash/ a teaspoon should be plenty.

Add about half a tablespoon of the Açaí powder (again this is optional).

Proceed to add your water, just enough water to cover your oats, should give it a nice porridge like consistency but of course if that's not your alley go ahead and use less or more! Quickly after adding water you would want to add the mashed banana mixture into the pot as well, and mix it well with the oats. It should give off a slightly purple color, due to the Açaí powder used which is pretty cool, if not it'll turn out like so shown on the picture below;

As you can tell, that barely took any time, I'll say over all 10 minutes to get that baby. The recipe is simple and oats are so amazingly versatile, it's like a healthy food fashion item that goes with everything, but no seriously you can use oats for almost everything. Now you can play with your toppings, all sorts of fruits and nuts! Don't worry about going overboard, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and getting a lot o fibers/minerals/vitamins etc into your body right off the bat is NOT a bad idea~ 

Here's some of my latest oatmeal creations;

Looks great, right?
