Review: Jade Leaf - Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder, Culinary Grade (For Blending & Baking) – [30g Starter Size]

If you are not a fan of green tea, skip the Matcha.  Since I don't have a taste for green tea, I'm not going to give this product a star review because it really depends on personal taste.

 I bought this Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder from amazon.com because I have been hearing about it recently and wanted to give it a try.  The tea is purported to have as much as 10 times the normal amount of antioxidants in it than regular green tea.  This comes from the fact that matcha is made by powdering the entire green tea leaf, not just steeping the juices out of the tea leaf.  

 Personally, I've never been a big fan of green tea, but I thought I'd give it another try.  (I read somewhere years ago that everyone's taste buds change every 7 years so if you didn't like something before, try it again, you may like it now.)  Matcha tasted like green tea on steroids and I am still not a fan.  I tried replacing my morning cup of coffee with it and I was only able to finish about half a cup.  I did notice an energy burst that I don't normally get from my morning coffee.  Apparently there is also a bunch of caffeine in each cup, too so that may explain the energy burst.

4 Stars: Clinical Basal Thermometer - BBT-113Ai by iProvèn - ACCURATE 1/100th Degree, Highly SENSITIVE, Perfect Companion for Family Planning

Image
My husband and I are trying to conceive so the doctor asked me to start tracking my BBT (Basal Body Temperature). This thermometer from iProven reads to the hundreds of a degree (out to 2 decimal points). This thermometer worked great for me. It takes a little longer than a regular thermometer (about 2 minutes as compared to 1 minute) but this is so that here is a more accurate reading. Another reviewer complained that it took a long time, but the company mentions that and the reasoning in the listing.  The thermometer comes with a case. The one thing I would change is to make the screen back-lit. To get the most accurate reading, you are supposed take your temperature before getting out of bed. This means its dark in my room when I take my temp. It makes it very difficult to read the thermometer without the back light. It does remember the last temperature taken so I can come back later and record the temp when I have the light on. I received this product at a discoun

5 Stars: Boomile Solar String Lights 8 Modes 100LED 33ft Copper Wire Lights Waterproof Starry Fairy String Lights Ambiance Lighting for Outdoor Landscape Patio Garden Christmas Wedding (warm white)

Image
I bought these lights to put in my yard so that there was light, but I didn't want extension cords across the yard.  These lights are about 30 feet long.  They are $10.99 on Amazon . The unlighted part of the power cord is about 80 inches long or almost 7 feet long.  This made is easy to run the lights up the tree trunk.   The lights have 8 different modes.  My favorite is the slow fade one.  Another nice feature is that the lights have a sensor to turn on when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.  I don't have to go turn them on or off all the time.   These would also work great in the fairy light jars that are so popular right now and since they don't require being plugged in, the jar can sit anywhere there is ambient light to charge them. I received this product for free for my honest opinion.

4 Stars: Dermatique Purifying Black Mask - Peel-Off Mask - Activated Charcoal, Deep Pore Cleanse for Acne, Oil Control, and Anti-Aging Wrinkle Reduction

Image
After watching a lot of videos about how great the black mask is, I thought I'd give it a try.  I found this one from Dermatique on Amazon and it was listed at a best seller.   It was very easy to apply.  The consistency is like white school glue.   I didn't put on as a thick a layer as many of the videos I watched because the instructions said a thin layer.   My skin felt so soft afterwards.  I know some people have reported that it hurt to remove the mask, but I didn't find it horrible.  It hurt a lot less than waxing. I have sensitive skin.  As you can see in my pictures, my face was red in the areas where the mask was.  It wasn't itching, swollen and I didn't get hives so I'm assuming that it was red because of the pulling off process.  Since it does pull, I would suggest avoiding areas with thin skin (especially in us ladies over 30) like around the eyes.  Also, try to avoid getting in your hair.  I got some in my eyebrows and it was diffi
