Vitamin waters....the natural way!

Big beverage companies have made millions selling vitamin waters to ignorant consumers.

Have you read the labels? What do they put in there that is worth the money they sell them for?

I don't know because I don't buy them. But I'm quite sure that what they put in is not as good and healthy as what I put in mine!

To make vitamin water, you just need water, and fruits/vegetables that have vitamins in them! As simple as that! And it costs almost nothing!

So, commercial vitamin water or your own? You choose.

I made the one pictured above with cucumbers and fresh mint from my garden this morning.

I added watermelon this afternoon. ;)

LOULOU!

Food, and its price.

I remember, when I was growing up, food was not cheap. My mother always bought good food, and never have I heard her say that she was going to get the cheapest of this, or the cheapest of that.

I buy my eggs from a farm, $2.50 for a dozen, it's 50 cents per egg. I think it's a good price.
Now, if I compare it to 89 cents for a dozen eggs at walmart, well yes, It's MORE expensive. So, what do I gain by buying the eggs at a farm? QUALITY, FOR A GOOD PRICE, and knowing that those eggs are laid by happy hens is a bonus! LOL!

Nowadays,  people are so used to buy cheap food, that they forget that buying food comes before buying a new cellphone, tv or computer. Priorities have completely changed, and food has become less important than stuff.... BIG CORP has played a major role in this, and I think their marketing agents are geniuses!  They can make the majority of people buy shit on a stick, and enjoy eating it!

Fortunately, some of us have realised that the only 2 things you have total control of, are food and skin care.

That is why I never skip on the price of food, and I make my own, all natural soaps and skin care products.

By the way, I don't beleive in being "politically correct", and I think that swearing is good for your health! ;-)

I can't wait to read your comments!

Loulou!
