February 25, 2016 by Kathryn 14 Comments

Between getting engaged, Valentine’s Day celebrations and starting to plan a wedding, matters of the heart have been very much on my mind this February. And while love and romance are always common themes for the month, February is also a great time to remember to take care of your heart! After all, a strong and healthy heart is one of the best ways to ensure a long life of happiness with your soul-mate.

Fight Off a Kid’s Cold Fast with These 4 Tips for Fall Health-Giveaway #ONatural

September 17, 2015 by Kathryn 88 Comments

Here in Saskatchewan, we went from glorious sunny autumn days to cold, rainy ones almost as soon as school started. If anyone was in any doubt as to whether or not it was fall yet, the weather has certainly settled that! And between the colder temperatures and the exposure to so many more kids (and germs) every day, my boys’ health is at the top of my mind.

Luckily, a few simple tips, tricks and techniques help me treat those inevitable sniffles quickly and efficiently when my boys show signs of getting sick. These are my top four methods for fighting off the first stages of a cold:

Tea and Honey

My boys are both huge fans of tea, and since a hot cup of green or herbal tea is full of antioxidants and also helps sooth a scratchy throat, it’s a great choice for fending off a cold. Add a bit of raw honey for its anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and I have a delicious drink that also helps my boys feel better fast. [Read more…]

Organo Gold Instant Coffee Drinks-Review and Free Sample

September 23, 2011 by Kathryn 1 Comment

Have you heard of Ganoderma? It’s a mushroom popular in Asian medicine that is used by many as a natural remedy to relieve fatigue, lower cholesterol, curb high blood pressure, tame inflammation, build stamina, and support the immune system. The research where Ganoderma is concerned is quite amazing and I fully understood why so many people have become intrigued by the benefits this humble mushroom has been said to provide. In fact, for the most part the only downside of Ganoderma is that it has a horribly bitter taste.

Organo Gold is a fabulous company that offers delicious coffee and tea drinks containing 100% organic Ganoderma so that people can enjoy the benefits of the mushroom without the bad taste. Margaret Sottilo, one of the independent representatives of Organo Gold, was generous enough to send me some samples of the drinks so that I could test them out for myself.

I received Organo Gold Latte, Mocha and Hot Chocolate drinks to review. I was so excited to see how these instant coffee beverages tasted that I decided to indulge in a Mocha as soon as I pulled out the packages.

One of the things I really loved about Organo Gold beverages is how quick they were to prepare. I just added hot water, stirred and my drink was ready to enjoy. The Mocha had an unbelievably rich and creamy chocolaty flavour and I was happy to see that there wasn’t even a hint of the bitterness I had read about.

The Organo Gold Latte was just as delicious and I loved the creamy taste and hint of sweetness the drink had. I took the advice of Margaret and mixed a Latte and a Hot Chocolate together in an extra-large mug and the result was pure decadence! I can’t imagine a better way to enjoy Ganoderma.

If you’ve been looking for a way to add Ganoderma to your diet, there is definitely no more delicious way to do so than with Organo Gold. The company’s coffee drinks are tasty, quick to prepare and effectively turn Ganoderma from something harsh into something heavenly. Check them out for yourself and have fun finding your favourite source of Ganoderma!
