Drink matcha instead - its like drinking 10 cups of green tea and 137 times the antioxidants because you are consuming the leaf rather than the steeping.

I drink chocolate flavor tea or matcha. Low calorie plus health benefits! You can get some really good strong flavored chocolate teas in loose leaf form from DavidsTea. Good flavored matchas from Red Leaf teas.

One thing with self defense courses is you need to practice it regularly to stay sharp and build reflexes. But luckily, Brazilian…

nuvaring: I had no weight gain. Just had to ride out side effects (ring falling out/headaches/soreness/spotting) for the first month. What is neat is you can wear it for up to 28 days, then do a week off to delay periods/ extend time on the ring. But in the end, all the pills would react differently to each of us - you…
