Food Review: Odwalla Chocolate Protein Shake

*DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion. no paid writing here.


This is supposedly a healthier alternative to soda. Which it is, with a significant amount of protein (64 percent of your daily value/per 2,000 calories) Though the carbs could have been a little lower, and the sugar is as much as soda; for people who want more protein in their diet this is an okay kind of thing. It smells like chocolate. It tastes like chocolate. Though I was expecting a funny aftertaste. The aftertaste isn't significant in the first sip. Though it may occur the more I drink the bottle. Overall for 3 dollars a pop (unfortunately) it's not too bad. and could get a couple every month when I food shop. Perfect alternative for a heavy lunch or breakfast. You still get the calories, and voila: protein.

Hello All, brief commentary. If you haven't done so, please check out this site. It's relatively new for me, and I know people love to buy candles for the scent and aesthetics. The Candles and melts are 100 percent soy, and no chemical additive dyes.

Trust me it's worth it! I sell candles, melts and wax warmers on this page. Every purchase counts! Since I want to get my feet wet with business marketing experience, this would be a good opportunity to help me with trying to get another marketing job, where they require at least 5 years of sales rep experience. Also work from home for me, so win win.

Food Review: Bai Antioxidant Socarro Sweet Super Tea

*DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion. no paid writing here.

Another Product from Bai. It has occurred to me that I am addicted to this brand. So far I haven't found a product that they have made that I didn't like. My thoughts are from meh to excellent for what they offer. Meh being not bad but probably be a rare occurrence that I'd buy that item. I have maybe 2 products Bai offers that belong in the "meh" category. That being said: the Socarro Sweet tea product is definitely sweeter than the Tanzania Lemon tea. With most healthy based drinks with low calories/carbs/sugar, it's going to have an aftertaste to a certain degree. I tasted sweetness; then immediately the aftertaste followed. Not saying it's a bad aftertaste; but just an aftertaste in general. This product will definitely be bought again.

Food Review: Takis Fuego

*DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion. no paid writing here.
I wanted to see what the buzz was all about with this varied snack. I've heard some pretty good things about these chip like snacks. They tend to be spicy, so for the people who have digestive issues, then this isn't for you (or a rare occasion with TUMS). At first when I opened the bag, it didn't smell too hot. But here's the kicker: as an occasional spice enthusiast, I ate 3-4 of them and felt the heat. Personally I probably would only eat half a serving at a time. It's for sure, that it isn't for people with digestive issues such as acid reflux or heartburn. It does leave a little bit of heat after you consume a few though.

New Discovered Albums (Months of June and July)

Arthur Buck - Arthur Buck (2018) 8.5 /10

A genuinely feel good indie album. By Joseph Arthur and Peter Buck (Of R.E.M) this album has this unique aesthetic to it. I think that as a debut album it's a solid album. At first the vocals had to grow on me. But I adore the vocals now.  I Am The Moment, Forever Waiting, Summertime, and American Century are indeed bangers in my honest opinion.  It's not the best album out there; but it's up there in my collection. I will definitely pick up copies (CD and vinyl) for sure. I am indeed electrified. Thank you for the new tunes Peter and Joseph.

Gorillaz - The Now Now (2018)  8/10

Definitely some chill out music. It's ok for chill out music. Far from being perfect. This is the first full album I've checked out of Gorillaz. To be honest, I've heard some mixed reviews about Humanz as well. Will be checking that album out. The Now Now is definitely not gold compared to Demon Dayz but a solid album nonetheless. My favorite tunes off of The Now Now has to be: Idaho, Hollywood, and Souk Eye. Personally this would be my go-to chill out music, if I wanted something in the background while blogging or cleaning my space out (bedroom).

Death Grips - Year of the Snitch (2018) 8/10

Death Grips usually never disappoints me. When I first heard about Death Grips, it was through some videos on Youtube and memes of course. So this is the first album I gave undivided attention to, and I like it. Definitely out of my usual rock and metal genres that I listen to on a daily basis; sometimes 4-5 times a day per song. Death Grips has this unique sound to hip-hop that I personally enjoy.  Favorite songs from this particular album Death Grips is Online, Dilemma, and The Fear. I hate how much Death Grips get bad reputation for being shit. But I guess it's part of the meme they are.

R.E.M - Out of Time (1991) 10/10

Ok I know this is old news, but hear me out. I haven't heard the full album. I was an idiot music fan; that was limited back in the day. Now that I have Spotify, I have full access to this album. I know for most the picks on this album is going to be Losing My Religion and Shiny Happy People. My picks for the best songs, would be Texarkana, Near Wild Heaven, and Endgame. I really adore this album, because Mike Mills vocals really shine here. Especially in Texarkana, and Near Wild Heaven. I give this a perfect rating, and that's rare for me.

Alison Wonderland - Awake (2018) 7.5/10

First discovered today. This may have to take a few listens to bump it from a 7.5. To be honest, there's good tracks and bad tracks on this album. I shouldn't say bad, it's more like I probably would skip if I had to. Or I'd listen to this once in a blue moon type of song. It's all that electro-chill out music people are raving about these days. This artist so happened to be on one of Spotify's automated playlists for the summer. The more I listen to it, the more I may like it. It's not perfect. But it is indeed aesthetic for the Tumblrites.

Food Review: Bai Antioxidant Super Tea Tanzania Lemon

*DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion. no paid writing here.


For 5 calories per serving, this flavor isn't too bad. Typically with a low calorie beverage it tends to have a weird/nasty aftertaste which you would be accustomed to after a while; or after drinking it multiple times. This isn't much different; it does have the aftertaste, but not as bad as a diet Coke or diet Pepsi would have. I was expecting more of a zesty lemon flavor, but it's subtle in my opinion. Definitely a good alternative to sugary tea, juices high in carbs and sugar, and soda (even diet/zero calorie sodas) Will definitely buy again when it's on sale; which Bai usually is to begin with.
