Detox With Green Tea

Posted on January 16th, 2012 in Random Thoughts, Green Tea London, Freebies by Stephanie

Matcha Green Tea

As it’s the start of a new year I’ve been doing all the usual things such as eating more healthily, trying to stick to my New Year’s resolutions and I even joined a gym and am now completely hooked on Les Mills Body Attack classes! :) One thing that I’ve also been doing and hope to continue (fingers crossed) is replacing all coffee breaks and my daily English breakfast tea with green tea. Green tea is great for detoxing and has more antioxidants than black teas so is great for removing toxins from the body whilst protecting the immune system and preventing disease. It also helps reduce bad cholesterol present in the body and boosts your metabolism therefore aiding in weight loss!

There are many different types of green tea both pure and flavoured with Japanese matcha green tea being the healthiest. Matcha is a powdered green tea made from ground tea leaves that delivers even more health benefits than brewed tea since you are consuming the nutritional benefit of the entire leaf. It has been shown to even delay premature aging!

Green tea is delicious and refreshing and if you haven’t tried it before you can get 2 free samples from Twinings and try Twinings new green teas. They also have an online tea shop so that you can buy green tea online!

Halifax’s Facebook Holiday Matchmaker

Posted on July 8th, 2010 in Random Thoughts by Stephanie

Summer has started and although the weather in London so far has been absolutely gorgeous, you’ve probably already booked your getaway or are starting to think about it.  But if you’re finding it hard to decide with so many possible options why not try out Halifax’s Facebook Holiday Matchmaker application. This nifty tool analyses the content in your Facebook profile, your friends, hobbies, interests, the books you’ve read, the town you grew up in and also the places you’ve visited in the past and then recommends your ideal holiday destination. I got a 90% match to New York and strangely enough I have a trip booked there in October! :)

It also saves you holiday planning time by creating a tailor-made travel itinerary of perfectly matched things for you to see and do and suggests where you should stay, what you should do, points you in the direction of their travel money service, tells you what the weather’s like at the moment and it even told me how many Statue Of Liberty visors I could buy for a tenner as souvenirs for my friends!

So if you need help finding your next holiday destination or you just enjoy facebook surfing :), check out the application here.

Off To Vegas!

Posted on October 17th, 2007 in Random Thoughts by Stephanie

Just to let you know that I’m off to Vegas tomorrow until the 30th October to hopefully get some sun and escape from the dreary English weather!  Not to mention all the shopping and buffet/cheesecake factory eating I’ll be doing!  Will update you when I get back :-)
