Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder Review

I recall eating green tea ice cream at a Chinese restaurant as a kid and I loved it. I later heard the term matcha tea and had no clue what it was. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it was the green tea in that ice cream. It has a very distinctive earthy green flavor.

Matcha is a ceremonial Japanese drink made from green tea leaves.It has been around for thousands of years. It is very versatile and I have added it to recipes to make matcha shortbread cookies, matcha mochi cake, and matcha lattes.  You can add 2 teaspoons of matcha powder to a shortbread recipe and have a yummy green treat for St Patrick’s day.

U-Fit Swim Goggles Review

These goggles have several unique features. The strap closure enables a good fit. The mirrored lenses cover a larger part of your vision than many goggles, so are ideal for outdoor swimming. The lenses are a slightly different shape and size than traditional goggles, so it may take some adjustment, but you get a wider range of vision with them.

You can find them here if you are interested in purchasing a pair.

I love these adorable string lights by #oakleaf. They are compact and give off a great amount of light for their size. I love the color of the green glow.

You don’t have to plug them in, so you can literally put them anywhere!

Food Grade Activated Charcoal Powder by Sagano Review

I like that Sagano Food Grade Activated Charcoal Powder is triple bagged to avoid a mess. It comes in a really large bag, but is very light weight. When using it for tooth whitening or skin cleansing, I only use a teaspoon or less. Because of that, I think this bag will last forever. It can also be used for stomach issues, but I haven’t tried it for that yet. I know it is also used to absorb odors. I have seen people bake it into bread as part of a detox routine. The loaf was gorgeous! This is my first time trying activated charcoal powder and I really like that #saganofresh makes theirs food grade, no matter how it will be used. I was given the opportunity to review this product at a free or reduced cost in exchange for my honest opinion.

Angelcraft 12″ x 12″ Self Adhesive Vinyl Sheet (35 PACK) Review

This vinyl with permanent adhesive has an array of dark, light, and bright colors. It cuts cleanly and easily. I cut some motifs with my Sizzix big shot and some with an exacto knife. I found this vinyl to work well with both methods. Here is just one example. I used pencil on the back of a paper printout to transfer the outline onto the back of the vinyl and then cut it out accordingly. I’m loving my new Rebel Alliance Logo on my Macbook! I also put a cute little vinyl banner on one of my glass bottles I use for water kefir. I have used and washed it 3 times and so far there is no sign that it will be coming off.

Pour Over Coffee Drip Gooseneck Kettle

The #willowandeverett Pour Over Coffee Drip Gooseneck Kettle is a great kettle for coffee or tea, for pour over or in cup brewing.

Pros: This kettle is made of stainless steel, has a beautiful shape and a small gooseneck for exact pouring. It has a nice wide opening on the top, so it’s easy to fill.

Cons: There is only one!! It doesn’t whistle when boiling, so you have to watch and listen carefully for signs the water is boiling.
