Energy and Breast Cancer Awareness

When www.smiley360.com asked me if I wanted to join a mission to try 5 Hour Energy's new flavor (pink lemonade) of energy shot, I was excited and curious. I'd never tried 5 Hour Energy before as most energy drinks just give me the jitters... and I HATE that feeling. But 5 Hour Energy's new flavor was for Breast Cancer Awareness month, so I was glad to hear that the proceeds would go to Breast Cancer Awareness. I have several friends that are Overcomers of breast cancer and so it was encouraging to hear that. As for the taste, I can't really compare it to any of the other flavors since I've never tried them. It was a little more sour than I expected and almost vitaminy. But I don't figure most people sip their shots. :-) The energy that I got from it was not the same kind as other energy drinks. I never felt the jitters nor the "brain fuzz" that I get from other energy drinks. Actually, it was something that I didn't even notice unless I thought about it. I didn't feel like I'd done anything to boost my energy, I just felt like I had energy. That was nice. My only side note would be that you should eat something before or right after taking the shot. The first time I tried it, my stomach felt off for the rest of the day. It wasn't a fun feeling.

Tazo Chai love

I've always been a chai tea lover. I've had it in MANY different manners: iced, hot, with cream, without cream, with honey & lemon, etc. So when Smiley360 invited me to try Tazo Chai tea for FREE I was ecstatic. They sent me samples of Tazo pumpkin spice chai and vanilla caramel chai... and I almost jumped for joy. Until I remembered I'm in physical therapy for a knee injury. So I just giggled with joy. haha The pumpkin spice chai was more authentic tasting than I expected. Some places they over do the pumpkin flavor at the risk of losing the authenticity. I didn't find this problem with the pumpkin spice chai. Just enough pumpkin flavor to add that fall flavor to it, but not enough to mask the spiciness of the chai. It was LOVELY. I must admit, I do love pumpkin spice on it's own AND chai on it's own... but I was worried about mixing the two. I shouldn't have worried. It works wonderfully! As a vanilla and caramel enthusiast, I wasn't sure what to expect from a vanilla caramel chai. Well, whatever I was expecting was blown out of the water. The sweetness of the vanilla and caramel mixed with the spiciness of the chai made for the perfect mixture. They should start serving this EVERYWHERE!
