Favorite Food Moment: Week 1

 I wanted to try out this new series where I share my favorite food moment that I've had during the past week. This could be a favorite tea, a protein bar/food that I've tried and loved, or a dish that I've had at a restaurant. I think it could be a really interesting to try out for a bit. Let me know what you think about this concept in the comment section.


 Yogi Skin Detox Tea:

I first came across this tea while I was walking through the natural foods section of Kroger and saw that it was on sale. I had been wanting to try a tea that was specifically for skin but has never found one that wasn't intimidating so i thought why not. I am so glad that I tried this one! For one this stuff tastes AMAZING, plus once its reached it's full brewing time it turns the prettiest pink color ever! I have really noticed a difference in my skin since drinking it 3 times a day for the past week. It definitely gets an A+ from me!

 The Complete Cookie:

My friend Sara got me hooked on these things a couple of weeks ago when we were at Whole Foods walking through every aisle trying to find these things! The ones that I got are the chocolate chip kind and let me tell you something, they tastes just like a regular chocolate chip cookie except that they don't have any of that bad stuff in them that makes cookies unhealthy and they are completely vegan. If I know I'm going to be out most of day and won't be able to access a healthy snack, I'll pack one of these in my bag and after a whole cookie I'm full for a while. It's a good on the go snack filled with protein and fiber while being low in sugar and carbs.

Caramel Digestive Biscuits: 

 I got these a couple of weeks back when I was in a global food market and have fallen in love with these things. I have no idea why they are called digestives though. If anyone knows, can you let me know in the comment section please because it is really bothering me. Anyway, I typically eat one or two of these with my evening cup of tea after dinner. It's become my favorite part of the day because I have had to restrain myself from eating too many of these at once, so one or two in the evening seemed like a good compromise to me.

My Favorite Things...

You know when you start feeling all Christmas-y inside and you start hearing all those holiday songs in your head? Well, that is how I'm feeling at the moment and so I thought I would share some of my favorite things for this holiday season and I call it," My Favorite Things: Holiday Edition".

So here it goes: 

1. Holiday scented candles

I have just about burnt through the entire Spiced Hot Toddy and let me tell you; I honestly think I'm in love with this candle! It smells just like what I think Christmas would smell like if it were transformed into a smell. I also love the other two Bath and Body Works candles pictured but Spiced Hot Toddy is definitely my new favorite for Christmas 2014! 

2. Face Oils

I have used the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate for a few months now and my skin has been really liking it! I've noticed that it is a lot more clear, even textured and much more hydrated. It's just a wonder product for my skin especially in these colder months.

3. Pampering Shower Products

The Ro's Argan Body Conditioner and the Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie are two products that I keep coming back to for the winter months, more specifically the holiday season as my skin needs to look extra good for all the holiday parties and just for hydration's sake. These two products compliment each other beautifully and I always know it's Christmas time when my bathroom starts to smell like Lush's Rose Jam scent. 

4.Lush Baths

Lush bath bombs, melts and bubble bars are the things that I associate the holiday season with the most, as I find myself taking more baths this time a year compared to the rest of the year. Showers are just more efficient at cleaning oneself when one is in a hurry; but there is nothing I love more than a bath chocked full of beautifully smelling Lush bath products! 

5. Herbal teas

I love a good cup of tea anytime of the year but there's something about drinking a nice big cup of a Christmas-y flavored herbal tea that just brings me into the holiday spirit faster than anything else can. 

And there you have it; those are some of My Favorite Things: Holiday Edition. There will be a video where I go further in depth on more of my favorite holiday things up on my channel really soon. Follow my Twitter( @tinabieri) and my Instagram( @tinabieri) to keep an out out and find out more!
