The Creme Shop- Hello Kitty Apple Essence Serum REVIEW

Hello,readers!

I've been trying out this new Hello Kitty brightening essence serum for over a month now. And it helped greatly with allowing my complexion to become more even. I would wake up every morning and apply this serum to my face after showering. I love the apple scent of the serum,it smells yummy!

Shake bottle before using and wait for beads to settle. Apply 2-5 drops and gently massage onto cleansed skin,focusing on the driest areas. Apply moisturizer for best results.

This serum is made in Korea and contains 30ml of brightening serum. This product can last up to 6 months.

100% cruelty-free. Not tested on animals.

This was a great buy!

I highly recommend this product!

Our care in choosing seed varieties, storage method, screening, meticulous peeling and roasting is combined with our exclusive grinding process and innovative recipes to create a nutritional and flavourful sesame experience of artisan quality.

100+ Keto Chaffle Recipes by Sam Kuma BOOK REVIEW

Do you want to transform your body but still enjoy the joys of a delicious breakfast?

This book on Keto Chaffles is the answer.

For the longest time, we have blamed the increase in dietary fats for our health problems. We've tried the craziest diets, hardest exercise programs and other methods with varying results. However, we've ignored the root cause of the issue. The root cause is the increase in carbohydrates and sugar in the diet caused by the food pyramid that came out in the 1970's.

What we need to do now is reduce carbohydrates and stop blaming fats! Let the Ketogenic Diet do the talking.

This book will help you get started with recipes for keto-friendly breakfast waffles that we call chaffles. Chaffles are made with eggs and cheese. These are healthy fats that are keto-friendly. You won't be using the normal carbohydrate-laden ingredients that are usually used for making waffles. 

This will allow you to enjoy waffles without worrying about gaining weight. It's incredible how you can enjoy so many of your favorite foods when you go keto, but you still get the benefits of eating healthy.

 When you try out the keto chaffle recipes in this book, you'll probably tempt a lot of people around you to go keto as well. 

Chaffles are not just for breakfast; you can enjoy them for other meals as well. So now you can enjoy some toasty chaffles whenever you want and not worry about missing out on your favorite food. Keto alternatives for any recipe can be really great for your health.

Southern Keto Cookbook by Sam Kuma BOOK REVIEW

If you're like me, one of life's greatest pleasures is delicious food from the South. But is there any way to do that and stay healthy?

This book has a possible solution.

The Southern culture came into existence when British soldiers stepped into Jamestown, Virginia with a few pigs in the year 1607. 

The locals in the area, the Powhatan Indians, took time to share knowledge of the spices they used to cook their food. It was only after a few years that the Powhatan Indians guided the British through the blossoming botanicals. They revealed their secrets about the new flavors hidden in the land.

 Over time, people from other countries came to Virginia, and the food prepared in this Southern state soon changed. It became a mixture of domestic and foreign traditions and food. The Southern cuisine is one of the most diverse and traditional styles of cooking that has passed through generations.

 It can be extremely delicious, but there is one problem.Most people avoid the Southern diet since it is not considered very heart healthy, with high cholesterol and high carbohydrates. 

Enter the Ketogenic diet.

When you follow the Ketogenic diet, you need to consume meals that are low-carb and high fat. These dishes should, however, include a moderate amount of protein. When you reduce your intake of carbohydrates, your body will need to look for an alternative means to produce energy since the glucose levels in your body will decrease.

 The only option your body has is to target the stored fat and the fat in food to produce energy. When your body breaks the fat down into ketones, your body will shift into the metabolic state called Ketosis. When your body begins to burn fat, you lose weight faster. It is for this reason that people lose weight quickly when they follow the Ketogenic diet.

This book looks at some of the recipes that involve low carb substitutes for popular Southern dishes, in addition to those Southern recipes that are already healthy.

MY REVIEW:

Hello, readers!

I received "Southern Keto Cookbook" by Sam Kuma to review on my blog.

This cookbook provides some awesome recipes to add to your keto diet. They are quick, easy to prepare and very tasty. I loved several of the recipes including the ones for grits, cauliflower and biscuits. This cookbook is a good find for those on the Keto diet. 150 pages filled with wonderful keto diet recipes!

I highly recommend this cookbook!

GUEST POST: Technology Might Hold the Key to Helping Us Eat Better

Technology Might Hold the Key to Helping Us Eat Better

You could ride a bicycle, wear only clothes made from plants and recycle all the plastic you use – and you would still be a threat to the environment.

The fact that many of us do not give much thought to our eating habits – and how they negatively affect the environment – is evident in the constant environmental degradation happening on a global scale.

Thankfully, technology is taking a stand against these, but you should also know what they are.

Fishing

Fishing is one of the biggest sectors of agriculture. That should not be surprising, seeing as

more than 71% of the world 

is covered in water.

It is, however, estimated that 

some 20-25% of all fish consumed in the US alone are products of illegal fishing activities. Illegal fishing like these can create a lot of problems, from overfishing to ocean pollution and bypassing of numerous quotas.

We might not be environmental specialists, but we do know that the ecosystem exists in a delicate balance. Thus, disrupting the balance in the aquatic environment by overfishing holds dire consequences for us too.

How tech is helping: As stated above, one of the biggest problems in our water bodies today stem from debris. The Pacific Ocean alone is known to contain 43% of fishing gear debris, making that the largest contributor to the growing body of waste on water bodies.

Blockchain tech is currently being applied to identify the type and quantity of fishing gear which boats leave the port with. That makes it easier to track those boats whichboats leave the port with. That makes it easier to track those boats which are coming back to port with lesser fishing gear than they left with.

Likewise, blockchain helps the creation of smart contracts towards the identification of different fish species, determination of their profit margin and the establishment of a generally acceptable quota. This makes it impossible for fishermen to mislabel fish just to escape quota sanctions or make more profit on a fish too.

Livestock Farming

Even though meat supplies less than 20% of all the calorific content we need, they take up an amazing 83% of all available farmland. To put that in context, the world has just about 13% of farmland left for crop farming – and these crops make up the best part of our meals anyways.

The world is not slowing down on population growth either. If we continue this way, there would be no land left to cultivate food for the teeming population. To create more lands would be to turn to environmentally damaging practices like deforestation.

Besides that, livestock farming generates an obscene 6 billion tons of greenhouse gases yearly.

With every bite of meat, you might as well be endorsing a negative, global climate phenomenon too.

Furthermore, increased demand for meat means some animal species are fast going extinct. Even though some governments recognize this and have created reserves for these kinds of animals, poachers will just not stay off.

There has to be nothing as inhumane as endangering an already endangered species even more.

How technology is helping: The world has a large appetite for meat,so something has to be done about that. By something, some labs in Australia have already started growing meat alternatives.

Cultured and developed in the laboratory with totally plant-based materials, these meat alternatives are worked with aroma and taste so much that they taste and look like the real thing after cooking.

Likewise, connected devices and sensors are being used to curb the excesses of animal poachers in the fields. Trained to listen for poaching activity – from trap sounds to gunshot reports and vehicular movements – these sensors will communicate with rangers/ other constituted authority to alert them to poacher intrusion in real-time.

Due to the vulnerability of IoT devices to hacking, securing them will be a no-brainer. This can be done in several ways, from setting strong and secure passwords on these units to making sure they are always on a secured connected e.g. encrypting them with a VPN, broadcasting trusted WIFI frequencies only, etc.

Conclusion

While tech is doing its part, you should also contribute your quota.

In addition to all your environmental-saving efforts, always watch out for what you eat. Only shop from reputable brands instead of black-market dealers. If possible, go for organizations that display the history of the meat/ fish you are getting.

That way, you are not indirectly funding a criminal organization dedicated to destroying our environment as it is.

Thanks,

Chris Jones @TurnOnVPN
