3 Drinks We Buy Out And Think Are Good For Us But That Could Be Making Us Chubby?

Three drinks that we buy out and think are good for us but that that could actually be making us chubby….

When it comes to weight gain or weight loss, what we are drinking is just as important as what we eat. Don’t you think?

When we getting our calories from liquid sugar our body does not compensate by making us eat less of  crappy foods.  In fact most of the time if we are drinking crappy drinks we are also eating all the crappy foods too.  Have the sweet drink and then you want something salty too right?

Ok so here are the 3 drinks we buy out and think are healthy but that might be making us chubby….

1.  A vitamin water.  We might see these when we are at a fast food place and say we are gonna skip the soda and order the vitamin water to be healthy.  It’s all in the name.  Vitamins.  Water.  It’s gotta be healthy right?

Truth is, a 20 oz oz serving has 32 grams of sugar.  Right up there with a soda.  

2 An iced Matcha latte. These are quite popular these days.  They’re pretty to look at,  they’re green so we think we are ordering something healthy right?  The grande size has 240 calories and 32 grams sugar.  Not to mention 80 mg caffeine, more than twice as much caffeine as a soda.

3.  We might be out and about and want to order something healthy so we might think of getting a fruit smoothie.  I looked up the one I have ordered and was shocked to see that the small size has 360 calories and 56 grams sugar. 

Now if we love these drinks and they make us happy, we don’t have to completely stop drinking them.  But we should view them as what they really are.  A treat. A fun drink. 

But we don’t want to mistake them for a healthy drink.  Because if we are drinking them all the time, they might be might be making us chubby.  

If you are someone who wants to stop drinking all the crappy drinks, like I did, so you can get your prettier self back while still having fun, we have a 30 day rethink your drink program.  

It gets you totally set up to stop drinking so many crappy drinks and we have these fun mocktail recipes you can make at home.  And you can do like we do and buy a cute bottle to take them with you when you go out.  So you won’t be tempted to buy all the crap drinks out there that you don’t know what are in them.  

With our Rethink Your Drink program you can buy all one flavor or mix and match which is what I like to do, so you have a variety of fun and healthy mocktails to make.  

Some of our delicious mocktails we have to choose from are:

Healthier sweet tea (Calli Original)

Mint mojito mocktail (Calli Mint)

Peach Arnold Palmer (Fortune Delight Peach)

Margarita mocktail (Fortune Delight Lemon)

Raspberry pink drink (Fortune Delight Raspberry)

Lemon basil mocktail. (Fortune Delight Lemon)

So if our 30 day Rethink Your Drink Program sounds good to you, you’ll need to order 1 Sunnydew stevia as your sweetener.  And mix and match three 10 packs of our  Fortune Delight and 

Calli in the flavors you think sound good.  My favorites are Calli Original for our sweet tea, Peach Fortune Delight for our Arnold Palmer, and Lemon Fortune Delight for our margarita or lemon basil mocktail. 

Once you place your order, I will send you our free ebook with our healthy mocktail recipes.

What if it works for you the way it’s working for us?

Sunrider’s Sunbar, No More Bars With Crappy Ingredients For Us.

I have to admit, I love the convenience of fast and easy food like bars.  But the truth is I’ve never liked the way they made me feel.  Or the way they make my kids act.  Crazy after.

The strawberry whole grain bars my daughter used to eat where cheap… $3 a box.  But one day I looked at the stuff in it and it made me cringe. High fructose corn syrup.  Red #40.  Carmel color.  No wonder my kids acted crazy after eating them.  So I stopped buying them.  

I found these weird herbal food bars, called Sunbar.  I wasn’t sure if my kids would like them because, you know, herbal bars.  But I liked the ingredients list… lots of plants, herbs, and seeds in them.  And none of the crappy ingredients that were in our strawberry bars.  So I bought the oatmeal raisin Sunbars and hoped for the best.  

I was surprised when both of my kids loved them.  Made me happy because they think they’re a treat but I know the plants and herbs in them make their little bodies happy too.  And because Sunbar have fiber and whole food in them, they don’t crave a bunch of junk food after they eat them.  Like they did with the strawberry bars.  I’m a happy mama.  Yep.  

Know anyone who might like to know about a bar like that?

3 Reasons Your Eyeliner Always Smudges? And My Weird Eyeliner Hack I Discovered So It Never Happens To Me Anymore?

Three reasons your eyeliner always smudges?  And my weird eyeliner hack that I discovered so it never happens to me anymore?  After 21 years of having smudgey eyeliner?

Tired of your eye makeup smudging and melting all over your eyes by the end of the day, like I was?  

It was so annoying… I would leave the house and it would look fine.  Then an hour later, my eyeliner would start smudging. On long days the line would even completely disappear and would almost look like black eyeshadow all over my eyelids. 

I tried so many different eyeliners.  I switched from a pencil to liquid eyeliner.  Nothing worked.  It would always smudge.

Have you noticed you have the same problem?

Three reasons your eyeliner always smudges… 

1. Your eye shape can definitely affect how your eyeliner wears. If you have hooded eyes, like me, your eyeliner is probably smudging because it is constantly coming into contact with your eyelids.
2. Some just blink more than others.  When we blink, our eyelids move and fold in different ways, and it is precisely when the skin folds and creates contact that smudging of eye makeup occurs.
3. Some people have more oily skin, like me, and others have dry skin. The oilier your eyelids, the more your eye makeup will smudge.  Make sense? 

It took me 21 years of my eyeliner smudging all over my eyes to finally find a hack to keep that from happening anymore.  And it works well.  

It was a little weird and I didn’t think it would work.  But after the first day… I couldn’t believe that my eye makeup looked exactly the same as when I had first put it on that morning. No more smudgy, black eyes at the end of the day. I was over the top with happiness.  Yep.

My weird eyeliner hack that I discovered so it never happens to me anymore? After 21 years of having smudgey eyeliner?

Tired of your eye makeup smudging and melting all over your eyes by the end of the day, like I was? 

My sister recommended I start using this low tox herbal eyeliner and mascara.  Truth is, I wasn't sure how well it would stay on...because it was made with more natural plant based ingredients. Herbal eyeliner?  Sounded a little weird.

But the health nut in me liked the idea of  using low tox makeup.  So I gave it a shot. After the end of my first day using the eyeliner and mascara, I couldn't believe that my eye makeup looked exactly the same as when I had first put it on that morning. No more smudgy, black eyes at the end of the day. 

It stayed put all day.  And the really weird  thing was… at the end of the day it washed away with just water! Perfect for days when I was tired and didn’t have the energy to remove my makeup (let’s face it, that is most days). 

The mascara was extra long lasting too.  The only one I had ever used that didn’t flake.  I was over the top with happiness.

If you know someone that likes the idea of a low tox eyeliner and mascara that doesn’t smudge, here’s what I’ve got. I liked it so much I decided to market it.

They’re an herbal food bar called Sunbar that have all the good stuff in them… whole foods, herbs, fiber and protein while being lower in sugar.  They come in fruit, cocoa, and our favorite… oatmeal raisin.  One box has 10 yummy Sunbar’s that you can grab when on the go for a healthy snack for you and your kids.  That will actually make them feel good after they eat them.

No More Juice Boxes For My Kids Thanks To Sunnydew Stevia

Beat Your Junk Food Cravings With Calli Tea?

It’s annoying.” -my husband yesterday, the most skeptical person I know😂

I had to laugh.  My sister and I talk about this all the time.  About how when we drink our Calli Tea everyday like we are supposed to, we don’t drink afternoon coffees like we always have and pop doesn’t taste good like it used to.  Plus we don’t have fast food cravings anymore.

How Sunbreeze Essential Oil Helped My Achy Neck And Shoulder Muscles

“I can’t believe it but I’m not using ibuprofen anymore.”

If you are someone that gets headaches sore neck and shoulders muscles, or achy knees the first thing you might turn to is ibuprofen.  Truth is, using ibuprofen long term can be dangerous to your health.

Good news is, there is a better way. If you’re wanting to find a more natural alternative for pain relief.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I'm introducing a product for people who have a stiff neck and tight achy shoulder muscles, like I always did.

Before using this product I always had constant pain in my neck and shoulders which made me grouchy and tired. I know what I put on my skin goes in my body, so I was looking for something natural. 

My Massage Therapist told me about this Chinese essential oil called Sunbreeze Oil, that she was having success with, so I gave it a try and it worked. The pain in my neck and shoulders felt soothed... naturally.  Without ibuprofen.

Now I use Sunbreeze Oil on all my clients. 

Sunbreeze Essential Oil

As I apply it, I explain that this is like "acupressure in a bottle", it brings the body's energy to the area you apply it on to encourage circulation and healing. They immediately feel the soothing relief on their achy muscles and headaches and they love finding a natural alternative for pain relief. 

We  call Sunbreeze Essential Oil our 911 Oil because we use it for so many other things besides achy muscles. 

-Sinus Congestion- 

-Sunburns- 

-Carsickness/nausea- 

-Headaches-

-Sore Throat- 

-Bad Breath-

Bring A Little Relaxation Into Your Home with Sunrider Kandesn Conditioner and Calli Night

 

Who doesn't love a good scalp massage? This is always my favorite part of getting a massage. We hold so much tension in our heads and it feels so good when some of the tension is released, but have you noticed it's never the same when you massage your own scalp?

Our Kandesn Conditioner can help with that.  

The Kandesn Conditioner is a wonderful scalp treatment that I call a scalp massage in a bottle.  It uses essential oils to promote circulation in your scalp.  I massage the conditioner into my scalp and leave it in for 3 to 5 minutes. It creates a tingly effect that instantly relaxes you and makes tension melt away.  It feels so good.

Plus you get the added bonus of turning your shower into aromatherapy session .... breathe in the rosemary and peppermint oil smell to help balance your mind and body.  It smells amazing.

After your scalp treatment, stay relaxed with a cup of our Calli Night.  Our soothing herbal tea helps take off the nervous energy and relax your body and mind with a special blend of passion flower, camellia leaf, and other calming herbs. Drink it before bedtime to promote restful sleep or sip it during the day to enhance hydration, ease tension, and melt away stress.

To bring a little relaxation into your home, place your order for Kandesn Conditioner and Calli Night

Is One Soda A Day So Bad? Here’s Why I Switched To Fortune Delight Tea

If you’re someone who wishes they could lose a few pounds, and maybe you only drink one soda a day.  And that doesn’t sound so bad.  Yeah I hear ya.

Ok but 1 can of soda has 140 calories.  Drink that once a day for a year and you’ve taken in 51,000 extra calories. 

And I’m guess what....51,000 calories = 14 pounds of fat.

What if you switched out that daily soda?  Or whatever favorite sugary drink you drink everyday?  For a whole year? 

Think it might help?

Here’s what I did to rethink my drink...

I started replacing my daily soda with Fortune Delight tea. Fortune Delight is a powdered drink mix that you add to water.  It’s made from plants, fruits, and herbs and has only 10 calories.  The reason I drink this tea instead of other ones?

• It nourishes with healthy hydration
• Cleanses with natural antioxidants
• Fortune Delight is 4 times more concentrated than traditional green tea
• Balances and energizes your body without a sugar or caffeine crash
• Zero sugar, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners
• No added caffeine or chemicals

How to make a Fortune Delight Tea mocktail

Find yourself keeping a 12 pack of soda in the fridge these days?  And drinking a couple everyday, even though you’re into your health?  Or maybe coffee is more your thing.  And you’re drinking 3 cups of coffee a day, and feel yucky and shaky after.

Bad news?  The situation won’t fix itself.  You have to take action and do something different. 

Good news?  It’s not as hard as you think.  If you have the right tools and techniques to use. 

If you’re someone who knows you need to take the first step and change what you drink everyday, I have something that might help...

Fortune Delight is an herbal tea that assists in your body's natural cleansing process. Made from real fruits and herbs without sugar, Fortune Delight Tea is a natural health drink mix that a nutritious replacement for sugary sodas and high caffeine energy drinks.

I love to make great tasting mocktails with Fortune Delight.. This week I made raspberry Fortune Delight gimlet.  No calories, no sugar. 

Wanna make?  You’ll need fresh raspberries, lime juice, raspberry Fortune Delight, and Sunnydew stevia.  Shake it all up in a cocktail shaker.  So good.

No More Large Sodas For Me Thanks To Fortune Delight Tea

I used to go to a drive thru once a day because I could get their large drinks for $1.  And I didn’t even have to get out of my car.  But when I started actually keeping track of how many calories and how much sugar is in that large $1 soda, I couldn’t believe it.

You ready for this guys?  1 large soda at your local drive thru has 314 calories and 84 grams of sugar.  That’s equal to 20 teaspoons of sugar. That’s more sugar than is in 8 slices of chocolate cake!

So I stopped driving thru for my daily soda.  And I switched to our plant based drinks with no sugar.  And no chemicals either.  I can drink them all day long and not worry about calories and sugar.  And I’m not ever going back.  Nope.

Here’s what I did. I started making this plant based drink at home and drinking it all day, instead of soda or unhealthy drinks. It’s made with plants, fruits, and herbs and doesn’t have any sugar or chemicals in it. 

The reason I drink Fortune Delight tea instead of others is because it’s concentrated so it has four times the amount of antioxidants as regular green tea. I also like that it helps your body to cleanse using it's natural cleansing process 

 What makes it different from green tea is that there no caffeine in this beverage. Fortune Delight will also offer hydration and energize you with plants and herbs! 

This drink is not sweetened so I pair it with our Sunnydew stevia. This is the only stevia I have found that doesn’t contain artificial sweeteners or chemicals. Our stevia contains just two ingredients and they’re both natural.... chrysanthemum flower and stevia leaf extract. It just takes a few drops. Fortune Delight comes in peach, lemon, and raspberry flavors. The peach and lemon are my favorites.
