HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

I hope to see those that aren't on vacation this week.

I'll have extra time to myself to make some new routines because I'm not cooking dinner this week!

My husband and I just picked up our weekly vegan meal from Conveniently Natural.


For $97 you get a weeks work of vegan prepared meals. We already tasted everything and it's SO GOOD!

MUSIC
For the past two weeks we've had a hip-hop class and then a Latin class. This week I'm going to be mixing them together. Same songs, just mixed up.

I'm working on some new songs for June!

THE BENEFITS OF TEA

You want to... LOOSE WEIGHT
You love: GREEN TEA
Swap in: WHITE TEA
Made from the same plant as green tea, white tea has more EGCG, an antioxidant that may rev metabolism. That's because white tea is picked before it's fully grown. (Plants lose antioxidants via photosynthesis.)


You want to... GAIN ENERGY
You love: BLACK TEA
Swap in: GUAYUSA
Guayusa has almost double the get-up-and-go as black tea, with 90 milligrams of caffeine per cup. And it has twice the antioxidants as green tea, plus polyphenols, compounds that can lower blood pressure, Maleeff says.



You want to... EASE STRESS
You love: CHAMOMILE
Swap in: GYOKURO
This Japanese variety is grown in the shade, which minimizes photosynthesis. As a result, the plant's leaves conserve more theanine, an amino acid that may help relax your nerves, as herbal teas can.


You want to... LOWER CHOLESTEROL
You love: OOLONG
Swap in: PU-ERH
Like oolong, pu-erh (pronounced "poo-air") lowers cholesterol but more efficiently. Its fermentation produces bile salt micelles, molecules that absorb excess LDL ("bad") cholesterol, Nutrition & Metabolism reports.
