Product Review: Organique Acai Juice

     Hi dearies! Do you consider taking natural/organic supplements as part of your everyday vitamins and nutrients essentials? I’m sure you’re aware that this food supplement comes in many forms. I’ve tried different kinds of food supplements in the past that’s why I know there’s no harm in trying. This so-called food supplements are not medicines that after taking for a month will heal your high blood pressure, diabetes, and the like. These food supplements have the “no approved therapeutic claim” on their labels because simply it’s a food supplement that will nourish the body and in my opinion, prevents the body from further decay. Meaning once you drink them, they will boost your body, give you energy, cleanse your system, flush all the toxins, and eventually will help you prevent those nasty chronic illnesses and the big C.

     Before I received a bottle of this purple drink, I already have an idea what this food supplement can do to our body. I’ve seen this last year on grocery shelves and drugstores where I buy maintenance medicine for my father. We wanted to try this before but he’s drinking a food supplement from another brand until we forgot that Organique Acai Juice was on my father’s food supplements wish list to try. I’m one happy kid because our friends from Organique Acai sent me a bottle of the juice supplement that contains powerful anti-oxidant. By the way, Acai Berry is pronounced as ah-sah-ee. More information about the product and my experience after taking it for a month below.

What I like:

• The taste- doesn't have a weird or funky taste. It's like I'm drinking grapes that are concentrated. It's a bit sour but tolerable.
• The packaging is simple, it's in a sturdy bottle and the label is complete with product information.
• The scent is like that of red wine but tolerable. I have a sensitive nose and drinking food supplements with weird smell makes me nauseous. I never experienced that while drinking this.
• No weird feeling or an upset stomach after drinking one shot of this purple juice first thing in the morning. I drink one or two shots of this upon waking up.
• I feel a bit full after taking this before breakfast.
• No breakouts, irritations or whatsoever in my skin. I also noticed that during the time I'm drinking this juice, no new zits or pimples popping out my forehead and chin.
• I noticed that my skin is less oily. 
• I love eating spicy and oily foods. I noticed that there are traces of oil in my stool which is a good indication that bad fats are being expelled from my body.
• I'm usually constipated and this juice helped me ease the difficulty in emptying the bowel.
• I usually crave for sweets in between meals but during the period that I'm drinking this juice, less sweet cravings for a month.
• I feel less lethargic on days that I have mood swings. I can say that I have extra energy during the time I'm drinking this juice.
• I noticed less hair fall. I've been battling with hair fall these past few months after my father's hospitalization. I can say that my hair fall is stress related. Last month, I noticed that I have less hair fall compared to the month that I'm not drinking this. I still use the same hair care products before and while I was drinking the juice.

What I don't like:

• The price- can be a bit expensive for budget-conscious individuals.
• Not easily accessible for those who live in the provinces.

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. There are 39 reasons to drink this Organique Acai juice and I think in the long run I will definitely see those results. If I'm diabetic, have cholesterol, suffering from Asthma, and if I have other diseases, the results will be verified by a monthly laboratory. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a food supplement and would like to cleanse your body from toxins.

Secure Shopping

• For mobile shopping, choose shopping sites with an app. It’s easier to use and most importantly, more secure as it’s harder to tamper with.
• Check news articles about the shopping site to ensure it’s not a temporary online shop that will disappear after pocketing your money.
• Ensure the shopping site has a return policy such as Lazada’s Buyer Protection: online shops without return policies can mean scam or unauthentic products.
• Do not give your password to anyone. Online shops’ email support or call support personnel should never require your password for identification.
• Only use your credit or debit card on sites with a padlock icon in the URL bar. This means the site uses secure communications to prevent any third-party eavesdropping.
• Check for security labels such as PCI-DSS certification. This means the shop has been audited and is certified safe to use.
• If you don’t receive an acknowledgement email from the online shop shortly after a purchase, there might be an issue with your purchase or it might be a scam. Call the site’s hotline to verify.
• If you strongly suspect you have been scammed and your credit card information has been stolen, contact your bank or credit card issuer to block the card and investigate.

Savvy Fashionistas

• Pick the right size by using the size chart feature, taking your measurements and checking carefully for any international conversions (UK, US, EU, Japan).
• Ensure the site has an exchange policy like Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy that enables you to return clothes within 7 days, and re-order the outfit in a size that fits you perfectly.
• Only shop for fashion on shopping apps that provide a few angles so you can see exactly how the clothes fit on the model or mannequin.
• Get your friends’ comments or ‘likes’ easily by sharing the item on Facebook or Instagram before buying.
• Read product details to check on the fabrication so you’ll know how the clothes feel on you.

Parenting Shoppers

• Spend quality time with your family instead of getting caught in traffic to the shopping mall. Shopping at the Lazada Mobile App lets you shop at your convenience, any time of the day!
• Diapers and milk powder are not only expensive, but heavy to carry. Look out for online promotions and take advantage of door-step delivery.
• Follow the Lazada Super Moms Facebook page and subscribe to the newsletters to get the latest deals delivered straight to you.

Tech Addicts

Get Instant 'Bigote' by Drinking Slurpee from 7-Eleven Philippines

     There's one thing that made 7-Eleven a trademark to all thirsty individual- a thirst quencher that will satisfy and give you brain freeze at the same time. I don't drink soft drinks and carbonated drinks but with Slurpee, I always give in because they also offer other flavors aside from the usual soda. Here's another awesome news from 7-Eleven :)

Get Instant 'Bigote' by Drinking Slurpee from 7-Eleven Philippines

     “Slurpee” was first introduced in the market in the 1950s, an accidental creation from a broken soda fountain. From this incident, Omar Knedly, an American businessman and inventor, created machines that produce the so-called slushy drink. Originally termed “Icee”, 7-Eleven coined the term “Slurpee” in the 1960s to give the product a unique and catchy sound among consumers. Since then, Slurpee was exclusively sold by 7-Eleven stores and was then only available for local consumption in the United States.

     Slurpee was introduced in the Philippines in 1984, the year Philippine Seven Corporation, the local franchisor of global chain store brand 7-Eleven, opened its first store in the country, and has been serving new and classic flavors like Fuji Apple, Raspberry, and Bubblegum. Customers can now enjoy the Classic Cola Blast, back by popular demand, and the new Watermelon Lime in all stores serving Slurpee.

Small Ways You Can Help the Environment

     If we believe the almost unanimous scientific consensus regarding climate change—and why wouldn’t we? It’s not like that many scientists could be in on one massive conspiracy—then we know the situation with our environment is already becoming dire. The day that we could turn this catastrophe around and avoid any irrevocable damage has long since passed. The name of the game now is to contain the damage already done and do whatever it takes to forestall the process before things get much worse.

    While climate change in its enormity might seem like something for governments, oil corporations, and car manufacturers to deal with, and it is on the large scale, that doesn’t mean we don’t all have our own parts to play on the small scale. And truly, every little bit each person does to pull their own weight brings us that much closer to slowing down this desperate situation and salvaging the world as we know it for our grandchildren.

Small Ways You Can Help the Environment

     So, just what is your part? We’re glad you asked. Read on for our list of small ways you can help the environment.

1. Limit the use of your fossil fuel-burning car.

     This can seem daunting at first, but there are in fact many ways to get around town that don’t involve your car. 

     The first two offer the added benefit of getting you physically fit along the way: bike riding and walking. If you can make it work, why not do it? You’ll save money on fuel, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint, and you’ll slim down that tummy.

     If that proves untenable, give public transportation a try. The buses will run with you or without you, which means they’re always burning the same amount of fuel. Hopping onboard and putting that fuel to use for your commute will reduce your own polluting.

     You can also rely upon telecommuting and online shopping to further reduce your car usage.

2. Reduce food packaging use. 

     What does this even mean? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you.

     Start carrying your own cup, especially when going out for coffee or when drinking water. Our landfills are quickly filling up with billions of paper and plastic cups from major coffee retailors, Styrofoam cups from businesses around the world, and countless plastic water bottles. This doesn’t only apply to cups. Bring your own silverware rather than using plastic utensils that will end up right next to all those cups in our landfills.

     Buy in bulk whenever possible. Generally this saves you a few pennies on the dollar, which is reason enough. But bulk sizes make more efficient use of packaging materials, thereby dramatically reducing the amount of packaging waste at the end of the day.

3. Stop wasting food. 

     We waste enough food each year to feed several developing countries. We go to the store, buy more than we need, and then throw it away when we can’t make use of it before its expiration date. This means that the many precious resources used to produce that food and ship it to your local grocery store have been utterly wasted alongside your hard earned money.

     How to avoid this. Simple. Take greater care when making your grocery list. Notice which food you throw away week after week and rethink how much you need to buy. Eat your leftovers rather than simply stowing them in some Tupperware until they mold over and you throw them away.

4. Partake of reusable pastimes. 

     Like what? Consider the pack-a-day smoker. Despite appearances, those cigarettes don’t just disappear into thin air. No, they release toxic smoke and ash into our already polluted air, not to mention they litter our sidewalks and parks with dirty butts. Why not replace such a habit with a non-polluting, reusable pastimes like vaping? For instance, with NJOY e-cigarette products, you have a non-toxic vapor that dissipates into the air and a vaping device that the vaper uses over and over again, creating no waste – and, of course, it’s better for your health.

     So, there you go. Small ways you can contribute to our fight against climate change. We’re all in it together, and we all need to play our parts. If we do, we just might salvage something of this beautiful planet for our future generations.
