I was given an opportunity to try and test Midori Spring Organic Matcha. This green tea is of very fine quality and it also has a very fresh aroma. The Matcha stored in a tin and sealed with a pull top and lid. Make sure to refrigerate after opening to keep it fresh! 


Benefits of Organic Matcha:
Perhaps because of the caffeine, Matcha can increase energy levels. It also help reduce stress and improve mental alertness. It fires up metabolism that eventually leads to weight loss. Organic Matcha also support the immune system and helps reduce inflammation. 

Midori Spring Organic Matcha is available on Amazon for $26.97.  Free shipping for Amazon Prime Members. 

Now, drinking tea is good but having it for dessert is definitely much better! I checked online and found this yummy Cheese Cake Recipe. This cake is great to serve this coming Holiday!

Green Tea Cheese Cake 


Ingredients:

  • (2) 8oz Packages of Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 2 Eggs (beaten)
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 TBSP Green Tea Powder
  • 2 TSP Vanilla
  • 1 9 Inch Prepared Graham Cracker Pie Crust
Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar together with hand or stand mixer until it turns smooth. 
  • In the same bowl, mix in green tea powder, eggs, and vanilla until light and creamy.
  • Pour mix into the prepared graham cracker pie crust. 
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the center jiggles evenly when the cake is shaken lightly.
  • Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. 


I received this item at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

Ever since I started this blog five months ago, I already received more than 100 free items and received tons of good deals on Amazon.  Most deals that I receive cost me from $.50 cents to about $2 each. The items ranges from beauty products, kitchen/home gadgets, toys and technology.

There are a few sites that I go to grab these deals however, my personal favorite is the Elite Deal Club.

As a member of this club, you will receive a daily email announcing the deals that will be available at 10:00a.m. ET, 2:00p.m. ET and 8:00p.m. ET. More than 150 deals are available per day and offers ranges from 70% off to 100% off.

All you have to do is log in to your account at the exact time of the deal release and choose the item you want to purchase. An exclusive one time use code will be given to you right away.  You can purchase only one item per deal release - total of three items per day only.  There is a limit to the number of coupons available per item and per day.






The only thing you have to do in exchange for getting these deals is that you have to post an honest product review on Amazon...and please do...most of these deals come from small start up or family business.  You do not need to have a blog or any social media account to join Elite Deal Club.

It is best to have an Amazon Prime membership to get free shipping for the items you grab on Elite Deal Club. Note that your shipping cost will not be reimbursed by the company.

Have you tried having your produce delivered? Last week, I was introduced to Farm Fresh To You - an online service that delivers organic and locally grown produce right to your doorstep.  I was a bit apprehensive at getting the service - first because it is a bit pricey compared to my local Ralphs and also, I am not really that excited about fruits and veggies. Then again, Farm Fresh To You fruits and veggies are certified organic and all of it are guaranteed to be local and freshly picked. My first box will arrive tomorrow - delivery is made between the wee hours of the morning -anytime before 8:00 a.m.

After signing up, choose the Box Type, Size and Delivery Frequency that best fits your lifestyle. Your delivery day depends on your zip code and the Delivery Frequency can be weekly, every other week or every 3 or 4 weeks. There’s no commitment and you can change your service as your needs change. A regular box is priced at $33.
