Iced Coffee Alternative and Summer Musings

-

 It’s hot and humid here.


I want something to drink besides water, but I’m not really feeling like a hot drink when it’s so humid. I love dandelion tea so I decided to try it iced. Brewed and cooled. A little Rice Dream milk. A couple of ice cubes. Delicious. It has a coffee like taste without the jittery caffeine effects. Dandelion tea is a great liver detox drink. It is a natural diuretic and can aid digestion. I have grown to love it and drink it daily.





Iced Dandelion Tea


It’s a lazy summer day although the official start of summer is actually tomorrow, Sunday, June 21st…the longest day of the year. We are enjoying a lazy day at home watching a family movie on Netflix. My children leave for church camp tomorrow….no TV for a week.


Update on “The Plan”….I haven’t had bloating in over two weeks and the cleanse helped shed excess water weight. My edema is better. I do find that I have a bit of food anxiety fretting over what I can and can not eat. Under the Plan, only one new food should be introduced a day. It makes social eating at work and with family challenging, but I am doing the best I can to incorporate safe foods and follow the 20 day plan. I do have my coffee back….it’s good with a little Kerrygold butter and cinnamon in the morning.

Bright Red Lips and The New Shades

  Bright red lips .  On my face. And no, I wasn’t sampling a new shade of lipstick . I was dealing with a horrible food reaction that inflamed my lips and caused the skin to flake and peel all around my mouth. I would have taken a photo, but I don’t really want to remember that horrible image. I almost wore a mask at work (I work in healthcare, so it would have been acceptable), but  I didn’t. Those bright red lips made me extremely self-conscious. It all seemed to start with my tuna reaction, then aggravated by a reaction to a new skin care product , and then further aggravated by excessive coffee intake and stress.

So, I mentally added peppermint skin products to the “Do Not Use” list . Fortunately, I have found another all natural lip product I like without peppermint oil from The Fresh

Cheap or free advertising methods

Everyone knows that progress moves civilization forward, and advertising is the engine of progress. And only the methods of influence of the advertisement itself remain unclear. Sometimes advertisers are wasting huge amounts of money, and cheap and trivial ways work best. This allows you to advertise "from all fronts" using a variety of methods. For example, chains of budget and luxury stores, as a rule, remind customers of themselves by releasing plastic bags with a logo - "T-shirt" bags. The move is truly a win-win, since this technique creates a stable logical association for the client: “package - logo - store view - image of shelves with goods”. Therefore, branded packages are a very good business, cheap to manufacture and easy to sell, but with a high "traffic conversion": buyers tend to integrate, noticing the familiar symbols of the packages, and the labels on the packages are not so important (however, the more thoughtful they are, the better fo
