Pacific Diner

If you have ever been here, then you know Pacific Diner is the best breakfast place in town! Located in San Pedro, CA., Pacific Diner is a great place to enjoy a delicious breakfast or lunch! I have always enjoyed eating here ever since I was a waitress in my teens. Not only is the food good, but you always get service with a smile :) One of my favorites for many years is the Vegetarian omelette pictured below. Next time you're in San Pedro give it a try. You'll love it!!! #pacificdiner #sanpedro #breakfast #lunch #omelette #goodservice #portown

Organic Hibiscus Herbal Tea

I love learning about the many benefits of different teas. I recently discovered, and began drinking hibiscus tea, not only for it's yummy taste, but for it's many health benefits. Hibiscus tea also called "sour tea" is known to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and contains antioxidants which can help prevent many diseases, one of which is cancer. You can drink it hot or cold, and buy it bagged or loose leaf. One of my favorite tea brands is Traditional Medicinal wellness teas.  www.traditionalmedicinals.com

Moroccan Oil

I absolutely love Moroccan Oil, and have been using it for years! If you haven't heard of it or tried it yet it's definitely worth looking into to. I apply a dime size amount of this oil after I blow dry and flat iron my hair. It makes my hair feel so soft, and clean. And it smells delicious. It can transform damaged hair to shiny and smooth hair. They also make other hair products such as shampoo and conditioner. Most local beauty supply stores carry this popular product, or you can buy it on amazon or on their Moroccan Oil website. www.amazon.com www.moroccanoil.com  #moroccanoil #haircare #shampoo #conditioner #smooth #hair #beauty #shiny

Green Tea Lovers

Just discovered a couple of tasty green tea's made by Good Earth! Occasionally I put a little honey in my tea, but these tea's don't need it. They are both sweet, and yummy! Pomegranate burst green tea has pomegranate and cherry favors. Matcha maker green tea has a natural flavor of orange. They are on sale at Sprouts #goodearth #greentea #tealover #yummy #sprouts www.goodearth.com

BB Cream

After trying out several different brands of BB cream, I settled on one particular fave! Bobbi Brown's BB Cream with SPF 35 is an all in one foundation, moisturizer and treatment with protection. It also has antioxidants, and blends easily while evening out skin tone. Bobbi Brown BB cream has peptides which minimize fine lines, fight wrinkles, and gives your skin a soft, smooth surface. It's perfect to put on prior to your foundation, or even to wear alone. 
You can find it at Sephora, Nordstorm or on amazon.

Coconut Water

I love drinking coconut water not only for it's many benefits, but for it's refreshing, yummy taste! Coconut water is low in carbs, 99% fat free, and low in sugar. It also boosts your immune system, raises your metabolism, and naturally replenishes your body's fluids after exercising. Coconut water is incredibly healthy and one of the best drinks to hydrate the body. It's also high in potassium, and vitamin B. There are many varieties to choose from, but my favorite one is C2O coconut water with pulp. You can buy them at Sprouts, or online at amazon.com #healthy #hydrate #coconutwater #lowcalorie #potassium #vitaminb #sprouts #amazon www.amazon.com

Vitamin C

Are you getting enough Vitamin C? Did you know that the human body does not produce it's own Vitamin C? Well that's why it's important to ingest much higher levels of Vitamin C for normal health. I've been drinking these yummy flavored packets of Emergen-C ever since I first discovered them at Trader Joes. One packet of Emergen-C contains 1,000 mg of vitamin C, seven B vitamins, 24 nutrients, as well as antioxidants and electrolytes. They have a variety of flavors which all taste yummy! #emergenc #vitaminc #vitaminb #antioxidants #electrolytes #healthy #nutrients #traderjoes 
www.emergenc.com

• Healthy because they contain 1,000 mg of vitamin C, zinc, quercetin, and antioxidants that help support your immune system. 
• Seven B vitamins which enhance energy naturally so there is no caffeine and no crash.
• The electrolytes are great after your workout because they replace key electrolytes that are lost through perspiration.

Greek Yogurt

I've tried so many different brands of Greek yogurt, but I'm pretty sure that Chobani is the best one. They have so many yummy flavors such as coconut, honey, mango, pomegranate, passion fruit, strawberry, black cherry, vanilla chocolate chunk, coffee with dark chocolate chips, and many more. Greek yogurt is loaded with protein which helps keep you feeling fuller longer, and is a key ingredient in building and maintaining your muscle mass. Greek yogurt is a great source of calcium and is good for your gut. Probiotics in this yogurt can improve your digestive health, keep the bacteria in your gut healthy, and can help boost your immune system. #greekyogurt #probiotics #healthy #chobani #flavors #fruit
