COFFEE or TEA?// Lifestyle

 




The MORNINGS DELIGHT


What is the first thing you have in the morning a cup of tea or coffee?
Tea or coffee , both are popular and the drink of choice for many people.

I only  lately started to drink coffee with flavoured creamer, French Vanilla or Hazelnut flavour.
Tea, I will drink more when I am not feeling well with lemon.

Recently I was reading an article about tea and how some brands have plastic in the teabags.
Who knew or would think there be plastic in TEABAGS.

There is one brand that mentions on the packaging it contains no PLASTIC.
A test was done to see which  teabags contains plastic, surprising most did.

You can read more about it here via BBC

or a video TEABAGS



COFFEE , good for you?

Coffee, the smell of a pot of cooking in the morning is devine. I like to have a cup with my favourite flavour.  Its  really a nice treat, something to savour and sip slowly in the mornings. 
It also is a kickstarter for the day from the caffeine.

There are also health benefits to a cup of coffee. A study shows 3 cups a day are beneficial reducing the chance of heart attacks or cancers.
A mug of coffee contains 140mg of caffeine , tea has much less. according to study.

So what are the benefits? I found this article very interesting, a study done over several years,
the shows the benefits of coffee, and the risks for certain people, pregnant women for one or women who are prone to fractures.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement .
