 photo disclaimer_zpsd3x74ej2.jpg


About the Matcha
Midori Spring's Ceremonial Gold Matcha - is a ceremonial grade (premium) green tea used for brewing the finest most flavorful drinking tea you'll ever taste. This is NOT a cooking grade powder (although it can be used for cooking if you prefer), the quality is so high that it is primarily reserved for tea ceremonies for it's full flavor, and health benefits.



Rich, smooth and creamy with a hint of sweetness when brewed traditionally. This premium product is Ceremonial Grade and is Organic (USDA, JAS) and Kosher (OU) Certified. We only select the best raw material from our tea gardens mostly from Aichi and Kagoshima in Japan and maintain the highest standards in production.

You can enjoy Midori Spring's Ceremonial Gold Matcha the traditional way by brewing or you can create your own Matcha inspired recipe. Whichever style you choose to have your Matcha, you can experience the many health benefits it has to offer since Matcha is a Superfood.



There are many immediate and long term health benefits when consuming Matcha, which include: increase in energy without the jitters, reduce stress and improve mental alertness, improve metabolism and help with weight loss, boost immune system and reduce inflammation and help the body cleanse of harmful elements. Give back to your health and embrace the power of Matcha.



My Take on the Matcha
I love to use Matcha in my daily smoothies for a nice, natural pick-me-up. However, I find that there is a definite difference in quality of Matcha that I have tried in the past so I always try and find good quality Matcha when I purchase it. That being said, I have to say that I have been enjoying the taste and quality of Midori Spring’s Matcha. You do not need a lot to make a difference and it mixes well It mixes well in my daily smoothies. Even without mixing it into a smoothie, the flavor was strong and not bitter which us exactly what I am looking for in a Matcha.

Ozeri Prestige Electric Wine Bottle Opener

My Take on the Product
Depending on how much wine you drink you may or may not be an expert or at least a proficient at opening a bottle of wine. I have close friends that are ones that at times have issues with this and are continually saying that they wished that it was easier to open the bottles that they have. Now it is and this product definitely is one that will help. When I first saw the product and what it stated it could do I was skeptical as I had never used, nor even seen a product like this before. However, when I received this and tried it myself I have to say that was very impressed as it was so easy to use and took so little time to actually open the bottles of wine that we had in the home. I should not have doubted the Ozeri brand as I have tried other products from them before and have always been impressed with the quality and versatility of the product itself. That being said, I would definitely recommend this product for any wine lover, or for anyone that has challenges opening wine bottles in the traditional way as this product really works well and holds up under continual usage too.

Reed's Brings Great Drinks to the Table That Also Change Your Food Too!


 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg

I had never tried any of Reed's beverages in the past, but recently I had the opportunity to try a few of them as well as some other fun Reed Ginger products too and I am glad that I did. Below is a video that I made of my thoughts on the drinks and candy that I tried.


You’ve spiced up the bar, and now it’s time to spice up the kitchen! The team at Reed’s Inc. wishes to share some ideas with you for cooking with its original masterpiece - Reed’s Ginger Brew.



Some other possible uses

After tasting these drinks, I wanted to share a few ideas for other ways that you could use the Ginger Brew. A few ideas include:

1. Use Reed’s as a marinade for a chicken dish.
2. Boil Ginger Brew in a skillet, add a protein, and you got a new flavor for your meals!
3. Make a slowly cooked ham recipe using Ginger Brew, instead of cola.
4. Add Original Ginger Brew to your favorite stir-fry recipe.
5. Satisfy your sweet tooth with fresh ginger cake and citrus glaze


These are only a few ideas, but there are a ton of other ways that I am sure I could come up with if I continued brainstorming!

Wine Club from Uncorked Ventures Let's You Explore Many Wines! #Uncorked



 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg


About the Wine Club
Discover the beauty of wine Exploration, knowing that you're going to receive 90+ point quality in every bottle and top value under $50. From the hidden gems uncovered by Mark and Matt in their journeys through California, Oregon and Washington wine country, Uncorked Ventures' Exploration wine club brings you a delicious bottle of red and white every month (yes, sometimes there are two red wines), every other month, or quarterly as you desire.


The experience of Exploration is visceral and personal, yet one that is perfect for sharing. For those who enjoy consistent performance highlighted with the brush of the New, this wine club is sure to please.

Tasting notes and winery information are provided for knowledge and conversation. If you've yearned for the pleasure of expanding your wine palette and want to take a rewarding step into the world of wine beyond what your grocery store or typical wine clubs can offer, then the Exploration wine club is for you. Sign up now and start your wine adventure!


About the Company
The concept for Uncorked Ventures emerged during a family vacation to South America. While sipping on Pisco Sours along with wines from Chile and Argentina, two brothers-in-law (Matt Krause & Mark Aselstine) discussed their passion for food and wine, as well as their desire for something different, something better.

That something different, something better is Uncorked Ventures.


My Take on the Wine Club
I love the concept of this wine club. Usually I have to travel a bit to get wines that are unique/out-of-the-ordinary. That being said the idea of a wine club that brings this to my own door is great. I received two bottles that were sent through this club. The wines arrived well packaged and ready for tasting. The two bottles were different and were from companies I had not yet tried. I like to be adventurous in food and drink, so this was great. In trying both wines I have to say that they lived up to my expectation. What I found in exploring the wines was that they are high quality wines, thus the price for the bottles. In actuality you get quite a discount on the wines through this, and seeing that I have yet to find these wines in stores around me, it is a nice opportunity to broaden my own perspectives too. That being said I encourage you to check out this club or any of their other wine clubs. They also do offer some cool looking gift baskets though too if you are currently looking for one. Personally, I loved the look of the gourmet gift basket!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Berocca Offers A Fizzy, Refreshing, Infusion of Nutrients


 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg

About the Product
Berocca –the brand long-loved by our friends abroad for years – is introducing a special formula and a new flavor made just for the U.S. It’s powered with key vitamins and minerals, including B-vitamins to support physical energy by helping convert food to energy and both Guarana and caffeine to support mental sharpness.

My Take on the Product
I like drinking water. I have read enough to know how good it is for you, but sometimes water alone is a bit bland and it would be nice to have a little flavor. At the same time, having a product that can not only give you flavor but also nutrients is a great thing to have on the go.

I was a bit worried that it would not taste good, but was pleasantly surprised to how well it did taste. There also are a mix of different flavors to choose from. Right now I have to say that the mixed berry flavor is currently my favorite.

All-in-all I loved how portable this product was and the added nutrients that this provides too. As someone that is constantly on the go having a product like this to keep my immunity strong and nutrients up just makes sense!

Get Energized with Energy and More With Electric Blue & Pink!


 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg


About the Drink
School is back in session and the holiday season is right around the corner, meaning it's time to build up your energy reservoirs with help from the natural dietary supplement known as the Energy and More! Drink.

Tired of sour tastes, jittery aftereffects, and questionable ingredients? Then it's time to ditch the usual caffeine laden beverages and try a brand new approach to seizing the day. The Energy and More! Drink is a carefully formulated powerhouse filled with a high-quality proprietary blend of herbs chosen for their ability to enhance one's drive, desire, strength and more.

As the year starts to wind down, schedules are gearing up, leaving folks on the hunt for something to give them the boost they need. Unlike their competition, the Energy and More! Drink is made in the USA with no artificial flavors or sweeteners. Available in thirst quenching Electric Blue™ andElectric Pink™ flavors, it offers everyone from college students to soccer mo ms a healthy way to get through their busiest days.



This revolutionary product utilizes green coffee beans for all natural energy and their own specially created T-Max™ formula. This mix includes a lineup of unique herbs and energizing ingredients that offer a wide array of health benefits from increasing users' strength and endurance to enhancing their passion and focus. From the classroom to the boardroom, it encourages users to give every activity the attention it deserves without sacrificing their well-being.

Blue Vision Enterprises LLC was formed in May of 2013, and launched their flagship product, the Energy and More! Drink, the following year. As a former energy drink customer, founder Tarik Hamdan was tired of the unwanted aftereffects and unpalatable flavors that are associated with the average quick pick-me-up beverage. In answer, he has designed an energy drink based on healthy ingredients that can be indulged in every day without fear of the consequences, boosting everyone's readiness, passion, drive, and desire to the next level.


My Take on the Book
There are days in which I just need a boost of energy. Usually I have enough natural energy to make it from early in the morning until the night, but not always. I don’t like to drink a ton of caffeine so a natural supplement like this drink was intriguing.

First off, in tasting both of these the drinks were refreshing and had a great taste. They had a bit of a fizzy taste, but it did not seem too carbonated. I drank this first straight but then also decided to try mixing it with the full fruit smoothies that I drink every morning. The drink went well and though it said that it needed to be shaken before you drink it, in the smoothie I was happy to find that it mixed well and did not separate at all, even after sitting for a day or so.

The drink should definitely be served cold as it does affect the flavor and consistency of the drink itself. All-in-all though this was a refreshing drink that does give you a bit of a boost when you need it without the jitters that you can sometimes get from drinking caffeinated drinks.
