EPEngineer By EPEngineer2 min read1.3K views

According to David Edwards, the Harvard professor who invented the product, AeroShot™ Energy is an air-based shot of energy delivering a unique blend of 100 mg of caffeine plus B vitamins that starts working right away—anytime, anyplace. It delivers a unique blend of 100 mg of caffeine, equivalent to a large cup of coffee, plus B vitamins. No calories to fill you up, no liquids to slow you down, and no mystery ingredients found in most energy products. Each AeroShot™ delivers about 4-6 draws. It gives you the boost you want, right when you need it, wherever you may be. Use it all at once or save some for later.

My take on the AeroShot™ Energy

I decided to take a sip on Wednesday and after half an hour I felt the kick of it running thru my system. Everything got clear and I could feel a clearness of mind. After about 5 hours later I went back to my regular energy level and there was no side effects of it. To me it felt like having the energy needed while it’s on demand and then it slowly fades. I also noticed that after only sleeping 4 hours I was able to wake up and feel clear-headed. I tried the Green Apple and even though it’s a little bitter at first, the after taste lingers on your lips.

On Thursday I decided to take some more and the same results occurred. I am happy with the product and will use it as needed. It’s a great replacement to other Energy Drinks and considering the jitters I get from them, this is a great product for me. Enjoy!

Caramel Macchiato & Latte

JM Perez By JM Perez1 min read541 views

One thing I love about Winter is warming up with a Latte during the cold nights.
Caramel Macchiato International Delights® Coffee House Inspirations™ and Nescafé® Momento™ Caramel Latte have become my favorites. I love the flavor it gives my coffee and I am hooked. Coffee has a calming effect on me and helps me sleep, contrary to most individuals and it’s precisely the reason why I don’t drink it as often as I would love to (and definitely not when it’s quiet around here and I need to work).

Caramel Macchiato International Delights® Coffee House Inspirations™.

I am not a Coffee addict yet, but I tell you, nothing is more relaxing than a good cup of coffee. It’s Delicious and has a lot of Health Benefits, which you can read here and here.

Tomorrow is another day.

Safe and Non-Toxic Plants

JM Perez By JM Perez2 min read2.3K views

In just a few days, the month of January will come to an end and a few more days after that, the month of February too, will come to past. We will then be in March. I don’t know about some of you, but I am very excited and looking forward to Spring (when Nature looks lively and plants start to grow). After purchasing and planting my Bulbs last November, I made my Garden to do list. I got new plants for my huge planters and as soon as the weather warms up, the Weed Eater and other gardening tools will receive a good tune-up.

Last month, I compiled a list of Toxic Plants and today I am sharing a list of Safe/Non-Toxic Plants (this is just a few). Please, do remember that even though most of this plants are safe to Humans, they can be dangerous to pets, some livestock and they can also cause skin irritations to some individuals. Be cautious.

Back To School Routine

JM Perez By JM Perez2 min read441 views

Today is officially back to School Day at Cottonwood Elementary. For my Kindergartener as well as the other students, it will be the first day back from a three-week break. We had a fantastic time being silly, getting crafty, watching movies, sleeping late, baking, enjoying each others company and fighting a Cold together.

My Son is super excited to meet his wonderful teacher and friends and I am excited to hear about his little stories and all the fun activities he had at School. His Sister, on the other hand, is not too happy about him returning to school (I overheard them talking in the room last night). After informing her that he will be leaving for school in the morning, she simply told him that ‘she is sad, she will miss him and she doesn’t want him to go to school.’ He replied by stating that he had to go and when he returns home, they will have lots and lots of fun.

My kids believe they are the best thing in the World for one another. As troublesome as they can sometimes be and as annoying as they can be to one another, they always look out for  each other and keep safe. Enough to melt my heart and make me proud. My daughter and I will be enjoying more quiet time in the mornings.

Last night, after reminding my Son about the importance of eating right, exercising, taking vitamins, getting enough sleep and keeping his hands to himself (to fight against self-contamination and prevent germs from spreading); I made sure he still had enough pocket tissues, enough cough and cold drops and I made sure there was a travel size hand sanitizer  in his backpack. This season has been labeled the worst Flu season in years and parents shouldn’t take it lightly when it comes to the health and wellness of their children.

Chocolate: Mood Booster

JM Perez By JM Perez2 min read528 views

I love Chocolate and my love for this amazing treat began when I was a teenager and it amplified after the loss of my Sister. It was pretty much one of the few things that kept me sane and moving forward.
I enjoy Dark Chocolate the most (from its high flavonoids compounds, which perform the same task as antioxidants by helping rid our body of toxins to its high level of serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant). I eat it in moderation every now and then, taking the time to really enjoy the taste. It falls in the category of Mood Boosting Foods and it definitely enhances the ‘feel good’ mood.

A study conducted by some scientists claim that Chocolate provide greater health benefits for men than it does for women (read it here). Research shows that drinking cocoa promotes blood flow to the brain and improving Brain functions. They are so many Amazing Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate which you can read here, here and here. Some researchers have found that eating Dark Chocolate can help with skin texture and tone as well as slowing down the aging process. These are some great benefits of Chocolate, especially Dark Chocolate.

One Chocolate brand I’ve come to love in particular is Godiva® Chocolatier, Inc. I mostly enjoy the Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate with Caramel. If you are a coffee lover, consider trying the Godiva® Chocolatier Coffee (French Vanilla, Hazelnut Crème, Chocolate Truffle, and Breakfast Blend) and for a limited time, you could enjoy their seasonal flavors, Cinnamon Gingerbread Truffle and Peppermint Mocha flavored coffees. They have a unique selection for all occasions (personal, business, etc …).

Godiva® Chocolatier.

To name just a few, the following foods are great Mood Boosting Foods: Spinach (high in folic acid), Almonds, Walnuts, Salmon (rich in omega-3, vitamin B12), Whole Grains (rich in selenium), Eggs (rich in amino acids), Lean Meat (rich in protein and vitamin B-12), Banana, Berries (rich in vitamin C), and Yogurt (rich in calcium and contains necessary bacteria for digestion). You can find a complete list here, here and here.
