Garden of Flavor Pure Joy Juices {Review}
May 29th, 2015
So now that spring seems to be over and the summer is starting to make headway, the one thing we all desire is to eat healthy and to keep our bodies clear of toxins. Just as we do spring cleaning, our bodies ask us to do the same. Even though I am almost 9 months pregnant, I was very interested in trying these juices because Garden of Flavor is the first line of cold-pressed USDA certified organic juices with over 1 billion living probiotic cultures. If anything, I know that my reflux has heightened since I got pregnant so I was very happy to try the variety of juices this company offered.
Did you know that 20% actually struggle with acid reflux daily? A lot of it is contributed to ingesting highly acidic beverages such as coffee and soda causing digestive and health issues. This is why Garden of Flavor decided to provide a clean solution to promote digestive and immune health and wellness.
Garden of Flavor, based in Cleveland Ohio, was founded by Lisa Reed, who originally started the business as a cold pressed, organic juice bar. With the support of family and friends, and with a passion to share organic cold pressed juices with people around the world, Reed expanded Garden of Flavor, producing cold pressed organic bottled juice and juice cleanses. Garden of Flavor juices and juice cleanses are cold-pressed, organic, never heated, and made from fresh vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Garden of Flavor organic juices are made by the cold-pressed process to retain key vitamins and minerals, as well as living enzymes and oxygen.
Along with its original line of cold-pressed juices, Garden ofFlavor now includes living probiotic cultures in four of its recipes, all unique in both flavor and ingredients, providing an option for those looking to realize the health benefits of both cold-pressed juices and living probiotics.
According to Garden of Flavor‘s research, probiotics have been shown to increase health and wellness in a number of different ways. Most importantly, probiotics are recognized for supporting digestive health by getting rid of harmful bacteria that cause abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.[3] Probiotics also assist in urinary wellness and can help people who suffer from urinary tract infections,[4] while also stimulating immune response to maintain a healthy immune system.[5] Furthermore, preliminary research has shown that living probiotic cultures can help aid in such wellness categories as allergies and obesity.[6] For all of these reasons and more, Garden of Flavor provides delicious daily beverages to ensure a diet rich in probiotic cultures.
I really liked the Goji Pineapple and even made a mocktail on one day because I am really a cocktail drinker and I saw this option being a clean one especially being pregnant. It was SO tasty mixing it with peach flavor seltzer. It was refreshing for sure.
I also liked the Appleade a lot because it is not a traditional lemonade. It adds the sweetness of apples with ginger for a nice bite at the end. I felt it helped with digestion SO well and I wish I could have one of these daily.
Twisted Roots is a perfect blend of carrots and beets and was so delicious. I even shared some of it with my girls so they could drink with their lunch. They enjoyed it a lot.
Although these juices can be enjoyed anytime, Garden of Flavor offers a 1-day juice cleanse that includes:
It helps with cleansing impurities and is only ONE day without having doing a LONG cleanse for those who have never done one. It is ideal especially since the juices are delicious and invigorating. I like that the Garden of Flavor gives those who have never done a cleanse, advice as to how to proceed during their cleanse. If you HAVE done a cleanse before, Garden of Flavor offers a THREE day cleanse as well.
I definitely look forward cleansing after the baby is born! Juicing is delicious and beneficial so consider trying it.
For my local readers, here are a few places you can find the juices. They are so colorful and the fact that these juices are cold-pressed, organic and never-heated secures any buyer with an amazing product. Try it! If not you can order ONLINE as well.

Visiting Morris Arboretum & Dining at Compton Café {Review)
May 26th, 2015One of the things I have grown to love in the Philly area are all the gardens that my family and I can go visit. While there are plenty of nature trails in our area, there is something about traveling to visit an arboretum that boasts 92 acres of lush and colorful experiences.
![[UNSET] (17)](http://singerskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/UNSET-17-e1432650060204.jpg)
Morris Arboretum has been quite a highlight since we moved to the Philadelphia outskirts almost 4 years ago. We have checked out festivals on weekends and have even gone for a day to check out the amazing bird houses they had on display on year. They also have an amazing canopy area with a Wild Tree Exhibit perfect for little kids to climb. We know that anytime we go there will be plenty of family activities to choose from.
One of the things I hope to do before baby number three comes along is to set up some play dates with area moms to check out new exhibits like the new Stickwork Sculpture exhibit called A Waltz in the Woods. It looks like my girls would love to see this and there is even a scavenger hunt available for older kids too!
![[UNSET] (16)](http://singerskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/UNSET-16-e1432650034878.jpg)
Last year we visited the Garden Railway and the girls LOVED it so much. They had freedom to run all over the pathway to follow the trains as they veered in and out of exhibits. I was happy to learn that the grand opening display the Garden Railway happened this past weekend. Everyone who attended took part in a kids craft and enjoyed free ice cream and various hard pretzels with which guests make create their own delicious art and architecture.
One of the things I enjoyed a lot was visiting Compton Café on premises. Sometimes, I like preparing for our day and outing by making our own picnic lunch but sometimes I simply do not have the time or energy to put something together so I am super happy when attractions or parks have cafés available to eat. After a nice walk around half the arboretum, the girls and I sat down for lunch in an outdoors area covered with a nice sturdy white tent.
Now that the weather is so beautiful, eating outdoors under the shade is so dreamy. Compton Café is a 3-star certified green restaurant which means that the restaurant is:
• Sourcing Sustainable Food
• Conserving Energy and Water
• Minimizing Chemical Pollution
• Reducing Waste through Recycling
I love this and in addition to this fact the café offers an ample gourmet menu for both kids and adults prepared by Josh Hunter, chef of Zagat-rated Terrace Street Bistro in Manayunk.
![[UNSET] (14)](http://singerskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/UNSET-14-e1432650017860.jpg)
I had a delicious Nicoise Salad that had spinach, Niçoise olives, roma tomato, diced egg, net free tuna, red onion, & merlot vinaigrette which was perfect for me! I always say I am going to pack myself a salad when I plan on outings but never do it. I loved having the option of four salads from the menu because now I can try a new one next time.
![[UNSET] (15)](http://singerskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/UNSET-15-e1432649992754.jpg)
The menu for kids was great as well! I loved that they had the regular fact the offerings from other restaurants but using organic products. I also loved the healthy options of veggies and chicken salad sandwiches for kids. My girls split chicken tenders and fries but I plan on trying the sandwiches the next time we are there.
![[UNSET] (18)](http://singerskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/UNSET-18-e1432650123787.jpg)
The marshmallow treats were a highlight since they were not too sweet and my kids did not go crazy with the sugar. All in all our experience was delightful and I look forward going to Compton with other mom friends and their kids. It is really a pleasant outing.
Their schedule starting in May starting on Monday through Sunday from 10:00am – 2:30pm.
![[UNSET] (13)](http://singerskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/UNSET-13-e1432650091232.jpg)
After we finished eating we continued exploring the rest of the arboretum before we had to head out home for naps. All in all, we always have a great time when we visit Chestnut Hill and the Arboretum. It is a beautiful experience being out in nature and having the girls enjoy fountains, flowers, and more.

Learning the Business of Blogging at SoFabU on the Road in New York City
May 24th, 2015I have been a member of Collective Bias for almost a year and a half and I can say it is the most exciting network to be a part of as a blogger. They have given me opportunities to work with major brands like Mars chocolate, Amazon, and Tabasco sauce. In addition to those opportunities they offer so many different online classes to help bloggers like myself keep up with the trends and even how to succeed as a writer.
Disclaimer: I am writing this post in exchange for a discounted conference ticket; however, all opinions are mine and mine alone.
Even though I will not be able to attend an official food conference to help me in my business I am thrilled to have the opportunity to attend SoFabU on the Road in New York City which is a unique event that allows influencers to take advantage of educational opportunities that will help set them a part from the rest. I believe it is SO ideal for those folks who are not able to attend conferences that are usually 2-4 days long. SoFabU will be a mini-conference with specific classes educating influencers about the most important and essentials needed to grow their business.
One of most important seminars I am really looking forward gleaning from is the How to Use SEO to Supercharge Your Posts which is being presented by Jessica Woodbury. Here are a few things I will be learning:
Some other sessions will be on Video, Email Marketing, Sponsored posts, networking, and other learning opportunities. Check out the itinerary to see how the day will be split up. You should check out #SoFabUOTR AND #cbias on Twitter to see all the events captured.
Most importantly SoFabU on the Road features hands-on, interactive sessions for influencers to implement what they’re learning on the spot. The sessions are paired with fun city-specific adventures where attendees get to practice their newly learned skills.
Events are open to all bloggers and influencers! You do not even have to be a part of Collective Bias to attend. Here is a list of where these mini-conferences have been held since the beginning of the year and where they will continue after New York City.

Plumb EXHALE CD {Review + Giveaway}
May 21st, 2015Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway. Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.
I’ve personally heard about Plumb for a long time, since high school to be specific, but I never really became a fan or consistently listened to it unless the songs were on my local contemporary Christian radio stations. I was interested in hearing what the songwriter’s seventh album was all about since I had lost touch with her music. I actually did not know she was still performing but I quickly found out a little more about her from her site.
Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, better-known by her stage name Plumb, is a songwriter, recording artist, performer and author. Plumb has sold more than 500,000 albums and over two million singles worldwide, co-penned songs for numerous other artists, including Michelle Branch, Mandisa, Mandy Moore, Jaci Velasquez, and Natalie Grant, and had music placed in many films and television shows.Originally signed as a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) recording artist in 1997, Plumb is now known as well as or better in alternative rock, electronic dance music, and for the use of her music in film and television than she is in the CCM market.
