Nestea - Peach


Iced tea never tasted so good!

It hardly tastes like any ordinary iced tea. The peach flavor gives it a nice sweetness. And I'm not the only one liking this. There was a sale on this at the grocery store for Nestea and the Peach flavor was the first one to fly off the shelves.

Found in the refrigerated aisle.

Clif Bar - Banana Nut Bread

Clif Bar has always been a favorite for me in enegry bars. Reminiscent of a chewy granola bar, they come in a variety of flavors.

They newest one to the family is the Banana Nut Bread. And I gotta tell you, it really tastes like banana nut bread. Mixed with real bananas, walnuts and chocolate chips, this one is surely a tongue pleaser.

This has become a new favorite for me. Other ones on my list are Black Cherry Almond, Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, and Lemon Poppyseed.

Ice Breakers Sours - Tropical

I really like Ice Breakers (the games AND the candy!). They've come out with the original flavors (green tin) and the berry flavors (purple tin). I like both varieties so far, with a higher liking for the original green tin (just my preference). And now they have a new tropical one (orange tin).

I'll have to say this is the NASTIEST tasting. Why? Cuz the flavors remind me of fruity tropical shampoo/soap or what it would taste like if I ever ate it. Not to mention leaves a gross after taste in my mouth for minutes after eating it.

Here are the flavors and colors:

  • Tagerine Passion: purple and orange speckles
  • Lime Coconut: lime green speckles
  • Peach Dragonfruit: purple and pink speckeles
  • Mango Margarita: lime green and yellow speckles

I just had some right now to distiguish the flavors with their colors. Ugh, I feel sick.

Promax Energy Bar - Almond Toffee

Sometime Minh can't get food. And at these times, this is when she resorts to eating pre-packaged bars for a source of energy. This one was provided by Roger. Thanks for giving me one!

This particular bar was pretty tasty. Candy-like almost. Almonds wrapped in toffee covered in white chocolate (or what looked like it). And it kept me full with all the protein in it (20g). But it was a tad high on the saturated fat (6g) and low on fiber (1g).

Good choice for weight-lifters, but that isn't me. I'll stick with Cliff-Bars. I'll post up my picks for flavors later.

The new vertical cup convertible push-up bra by Victoria's Secret

This is one interesting bra. It's practically a "half bra", giving you minimum coverage but maximum suppurt. Amazing how lil fabric can give you so much lift...nice!

It's great for those low cut tops and you can wear it regular 2-strap, halter, racerback, and low back (comes with additianal straps). I'm not a big fan of strapless bras, so I think this is a great alternative for halters.

Purpose of this blog

I love to try new things out on the market. Namely food along with other consumer products. And I would like to share my thoughts about it, so you could try too (or not try!) So I made this blog expecially for that sole purpose.

I'm using a picture uploader program called Hello (http://www.hello.com), which works with blogspot and makes it very easy to load directly from my computer. Hence why I chose this blog site to post.

ENJOY!
