Day 1

Day 1: 
The tea is finally here! A little off-track but I love that I can track my shipment based on the vehicle location! 

This is how it looks like, in case some of you don't know but heh, with its uprising popularity I doubt anyone wouldn't know. I started off with the Morning Boost which contains natural ingredients such as green tea, yerba mate, nettle leaves, dandelion and guarana.

For the benefit of those who don't know what are the ingredients for, it shall be listed below. (save time, no need one by one go and google! Jin ma huan)

Green tea: boosts energy, improves immunity, burns calories

Yerba mate: boosts metabolism, curbs appetite

Nettle leaves: natural diuretic, antioxidant

Dandelion: improves digestions, detoxifies, cleanses

Guarana: increase physical endurance & alertness, stimulates digestion

The night cleanse contained natural ingredients such as ginger root, orange leaves, lemongrass, senna leaves, licorice root.

Ginger root: anti-bloating, detoxifying

Orange leaves: improves digestion, promotes good sleep

Lemongrass: anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, enhance complexion

Senna leaves: natural laxative, anti-bloating, reduces appetite

Licorice root: relieves from cramps and constipation

After drinking the morning boost, I did feel like the tea was doing its magic! I relieved quite a fair number of gasses. Oops! Though I am not too sure if it was because of the hot water. Anyway, the tea smells really sweet and nice! It contains caffeine so it is best to drink it before 5pm, (if not you're gonna stay "high" all the time~) you can drink it every morning either before or during breakfast. Just simply place the bag for 5 minutes in nearly boiling water! And also, I am not exactly sure if I am supposed to keep refilling the hot water but I did refill it once or twice since the color still looks rather thick.

The night cleanse smelled kinda minty and ginger-ish but overall bearable! The night cleanse should be taken every other night after the last meal and do note that since the tea contains laxative, you might feel like pooping after drinking! So yes, I went to the toilet thrice (morning, afternoon, and night) and I felt really dehydrated at the end of the day. I guess I need to drink a lot of water and have some fruits to replenish!

Hmm, and it does seem that my tummy is a little flatter today but it might just be me thinking too much!

Skinnymint Teatox

I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a pack of SkinnyMint to try. It should not be foreign to those active on social media platforms, but for the benefit of those who doesn't know. It is actually a 14/28 days tea-tox program which helps detoxes your body. It comes with two cleanses, morning and night, whereby the morning cleanse helps to kick start the day with extra energy, and the night cleanse to revitalize and cleanse the body.

I've heard of many good reviews about it including those from close friends of mine so I am really excited to see if actually works on me! But I am guessing for it to work even more effectively, I’d have to make some alteration to my diet and yes, I am willing to make a change. I always feel bloated, and sometimes I do get acid re-flux! I am telling you, it feels really uncomfortable! Hopefully this program would a catalyst that would help me reach my "healthy lifestyle" (not crazy workouts or counting calories but to motivate me to eat more greens, move my ass a little more) goal. I'll break down my posts into 3: first day, seventh day and last day so that I can update on the differences.
