ORANGE BLOSSOM TEA!

If you're already on your 3rd or 4th coffee today...you may want to try drinking a cup of "white coffee". In Lebanese, it's called 'ahweh bayda'! It's a caffeine-free drink made from water, orange blossom water and sugar to sweeten. It's traditionally thought to have a soothing effect. The scent alone will help you relax...

I've decided to blend my own 'white coffee'! Choose your own favorite herbal tea (I chose The Goodnight Blend from Twinings), add 2 tablespoons of Orange Blossom Water and add sugar/honey to sweeten to your liking. 

It helps to take the jitters away!

Enjoy!

THE SUPERFRUIT : CUPUACU

Cupuacu is a delicious melon-sized fruit with a creamy pulp. It grows in the Amazon rainforest in the northern parts of Brazil, also known as 'the pharmacy in a fruit'! This fruit is currently considered one of the most nutitionally beneficial superfruits in the marketplace. Cupuacu actually tastes like a combination of chocolate, bannas, pear, passion fruit and pineapple! All my favorites in one! ...it also comes in the form of icecream...delish!

Cupuacu also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3 (niacin) fatty and amino acids, and at least nine antioxidants including vitamin A and C. It has an energetic effect, but does not contain caffeine. Unlike most energy drinks or caffeine, though, there is no tired feeling afterwards. 

Cupuacu is one of the strongest moisturizers! It restores elasticity and moisture and extremely beneficial for dry and damaged skin and hair! It does come solid, but glides smoothly onto your skin! For the hair, it gives you shine and long lasting hydration. 

When you get a chance, pick one up on your next health food store run. 

Enjoy!

|| HAPPY FRIDAY || AFTERNOON COFFEE READINGS

Enjoying a cup of Lebanese coffee after lunch.

Sometimes, my cup readings will need a bit of imagination, but this time...

Do you see what I see? An old man.

hmm...I wonder what this means?
