Oolong Teabags From Enjoyingtea.com

Enjoyingtea.com once again tickled my taste buds with a tea I have never tried. I read the box first. I decided to try the very clever trick recommended for a great tasty iced tea. I boiled 8 ounces of water and then placed not one - but two teabags in the water. I let the teabags steep just til the water was cool enough to place in the fridge. I came back about an hour later and added ice.

Duh. Why didn't I think of doubling up on tea bags long ago in order to get a full-bodied cold tea? I did not add lemon or honey to the cold tea. I just didn't miss those two elements in this nutty tea. I usually add lemon and honey to hot tea, but wanted to experience this tea with nothing but ice. It was delicious. Refreshing. I will make this tea often. I will make it ahead of time and leave it in the fridge. 

The Chinese credit Oolong tea with having slimming effects. A cup a day may keep the bad cholesterol away... Check it out for yourself! http://cholesterol.about.com/od/cholesterolloweringfoods/a/tea.htm.

Order a box or two or three - today at http://www.enjoyingtea.com/enooteabag.html! For less than $3.00 (and free shipping with min. purchase) you will receive a box of 20 teabags. I highly recommend Enjoyingtea.com Oolong Tea bags. They have instant Oolong tea too. May sample some. The instant tea I reviewed recently was so convenient in a water bottle with cold water while on the run. See Instant Jasmine Tea review. Happy sipping!!!

Damascus Countdown by Joel C. Rosenberg

I chose to review Damascus Countdown because honestly, I enjoy Joel C. Rosenberg's writing style and his art of telling a fictional story in a Christian family friendly fashion. This 465 page novel was exciting from beginning to end. I rarely am able to head off to bed with a book and stay awake for longer than ten minutes or so. However, with this book I actually had to force myself to shut off my nightlight and go to sleep (at times the action left me wide-eyed!).

Without being a spoiler (and without narrating the story, which you already can read about at Tyndale House), this story was eerily similar to what is happening in Israel today. The story highlighted David's plight to save the day. He was a hero and I felt that I was riding on his shoulder throughout the book. I cheered and sighed and stamped my feet.

I appreciated the one-word demonstration of sound as illustrated on page 87. The author drew me in to the scene with the use of Beep... This one word ushered in a voice mail message sequence. Segues such as this were used throughout. For example, there were changes in scenes which occurred rapidly with the use of a subtitle listing the city and state. I did not feel confused in the least even though the scenes changed rapidly and the pace of the characters had increased exponentially. For these reasons and so many more, I was able to be drawn into the storyline and enjoy myself immensely! This fast-paced writing style was artfully done by the author.

This book could be made into a Hollywood Blockbuster! However, I would rather read the book. I enjoyed many hours of escape from the daily grind while reading Joel C. Rosenberg's book. I highly recommend it for a great summer read! Buy two copies. One for your personal library and one for your best friend. You can share the plot together as it unfolds and exclaim over and over again, "Can you believe......"

Doctor's Skin Recovery Serum by Dr. Denese New York

 

This product by Dr. Denese is a new must-have in my microdermabrasion skin care arsenal. I apply this serum (liberally btw) on my face and neck after using my Microdermabrasion machine. I leave it on for a full 12 hours - yes I do not rinse until after coffee and croissant! The trick with this recovery serum is that one must leave it on so that it can do its work to restore the damage done to skin cells and to get rid of surface pigmentation inconsistencies.

After a microdermabrasion, toning and recovery serum session, my skin not only glows but looks evened out, the skin a more healthy brown and less discoloration or white marks due to sunblock.

I am one of those people who believe that my daily dose of Vitamin D must come from the sun (it's free - after all!). I take a supplement from Life Extension called FernRoot which is an oral supplement that will undo the sun's damage before my cells are radicalized. I also wear UV/UVB Broad Spectrum lotion but still - having products that can help my surface sun damage is so helpful! Also convenient. And affordable - which I appreciate most.

Be prepared to use this product liberally. If you do not, you will not enjoy its many benefits as quickly! Dr. Denese outdid herself on this serum. Get yours today...

Unexpected Love: God's Heart Revealed in Jesus's Conversations With Women by Julie Zine Coleman

Unexpected Love was a breath of fresh air! This anointed work by Julie Zine Coleman highlighted nine women of the Bible and their interaction with Jesus in the Bible. The tone in which the author used was conversational but rich in context. I actually felt like I was there in each scene with Jesus and the women, listening in on their conversations!

I learned about water used for purification rites as well as being a part of the first miracle (wedding at Cana). Water has so much more meaning than to satisfy our thirst!

Every word in the Bible is used to demonstrate God's love and plan for each of us. Often, someone will throw out the lie that God disrespects women or seeks to repress women. This lie from the pit of hell is refuted over and over again in each Biblical account in this book. I saw the woman at the well in a new way as well as Martha and Mary. The author dove into a word here or there and expounded on the context and  historical perspective of that word. Her digging and explanations were so rich and she was an excellent teacher for this reason.

There were many great comments such as (page 150), "Being part of a Christian organization doesn't give you a relationship with God any more than touring the White House makes you the president."

I recommend this book to anyone seeking to grow closer to Jesus (which includes a lot of us!). This book would also make for an excellent women's or teen's Bible study book as there are two sections: "For Today's Woman" as well as "Food for Thought" at the end of each chapter. There was also a section titled "Journaling" at the end of each chapter with excellent questions to challenge the reader to journal.

Unexpected Love was all about Jesus being in love with women. This book will bless you and remind you to take time every now and then to spend time at Jesus's feet as He truly longs for us to take a breath and a moment to inhale His sweet aroma. What a blessed God we serve!!! Truly, Unexpected Love.

EnjoyingTea.com Flask & Instant Jasmine Tea: Applause All Around

You got me at carabiner. Yes, this stainless steel 20.3 oz artfully decorated - might I add gold-threaded interior washer arrived waiting to be tested.

And test I did. I added room temp bottled spring water, then added 3-1/8 tsp of Instant Jasmine Tea. I shook, then waited. See, I thought the instant tea had to disintegrate. Boy, was I wrong!

This flask with the instant tea from EnjoyingTea.com is so much better than the add the loose tea variety and strain, or mash a strainer to the bottom of the bottle and then drink. You can drink this tea right away! No doubt, you can add warm water (but don't have to) and then chill in the fridge. I just added room temp water and an ice cube from my water bottle ice cube tray (It freezes in a size suitable for water bottles).

The instant Jasmine tea was earthy, and full of flavor. I did not miss my coffee this morning and even took my Juice Plus supplements and all my other supplements with the tea without even missing my oj. If I had the time, I would chill in the fridge, but I found chilling not even necessary.

I have never found a tea product to be so accommodating and easy for the person on the go. This product would be perfect for car travel. The only product I have ever tried similar to this product was Yerba Mate. But I sincerely liked the flavor of the Instant Jasmine Tea compared to the more earthy, less floral Yerba Mate.

I highly recommend any tea lover test drive this instant tea in the flask. I did appreciate the carabiner. I love small touches and then the rest just adds to the specialness of a product. This picture does not do this inexpensive ($8.98) flask justice. Get one today, along with an instant tea of your choice. For you. For a friend. For an enemy. Why not? You might just turn an enemy into a friend!!!
