A Simple Detox: A Personal History of Binge ________

It was 2008 and I was at a friend’s birthday-cum-going away party. She, a petite jovial MBA grad and marketing manager, was engaged and soon was set to leave the country. In a few months time she’d marry abroad and relocate to London, and so we drank. And drank. And drank. A few days later [...]

Jamba Juice has expanded its lineup of drinks, including bottled products, to include an energy product and coconut water-based beverage. Dubbed Fruit Refreshers, one new menu item is a coconut water drink made with fruit, sherbet, and ice.

Caffeinated SuperJuice

It won’t make you immune to aging or cancer, but Bai drinks are an alternative to the spiky jolt that comes from pure coffee. Bai Brands‘ Bai5 line now includes a Congo Pear flavor , which is 20-calorie per bottle juice-cum-tea product, with about 70 mg of caffeine, an amount slightly higher than a can [...]

An Energy Drink Fit For Fighters, Workaholics

It’s entirely unlike me to promote an energy drink with more unpronounceable ingredients than I care to mention, but desperate times led me to the official drink of UFC. I suppose it isn’t so surprising given that at one time I watched and enjoyed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Bodog, despite my disdain for any [...]

Photoshop-Inspired Beauty: Cellulite Creams

The baby boomer generation of women don’t understand why generation X cares so much about cellulite. I guess that’s because they weren’t dating in the age of Photoshop. We are supposed to feel like men appreciate women with curves but everyone prefers firm to flabby. Genes do ultimately define our shape but how toned we [...]

No Nasties Firming Goods: Get Waisted Giveaway

Mama Mio Skincare is a mecca for safe personal care items that aim to diminish the visible signs of time and gravity. While there is no quick fix, we can hope–and eat right, exercise and use quality products that force mini massages, such as body oils and serums. Some think it’s unnecessary to use firming [...]

The Coffee Placebo

Stressful times call for legal vices, and coffee is usually the last addiction to be tackled. People may give up alcohol, soda, sugar, even nicotine, but coffee seems to have both neurological and emotional effects that are hard to abandon. Coffee is like a security blanket for most Americans putting in too much time at [...]

Borojo: Our Link to the Next Superfruit?

The superfruit industry is a competitive trend-driven sector of the food and beverage industry that is dependent on three groups: customers to consume it; scientists to prove its efficacy; and farmers in the developing world to provide it. Even with studies here and there showing preliminary data of a fruit’s supposed super-properties, the market requires [...]

Abre Los Ojos: Origins Offers A Wakeup Call

Surviving the first few days of each week might be easy if Origins gave us free eye cream and espresso every week. But, we are not alone and we are not ungrateful. So, we invite you to head over to the select Origins stores (listed below) Tuesday and Wednesday November 3 and 4, to try [...]

The Luxe Beverage

There’s no shortage of energy drinks, but there is a shortage of energy drinks that don’t incite a gag reflex. We’re proud to say we found one that we actually like the taste of, both regular and diet. Rubyy has our beloved blood orange, which with other elements, makes for a taste like an orange [...]
