5 Hour Energy



About 5 hour Energy

ORIGINAL 5-hour ENERGY® SHOT

Now in five flavors!

Grape, Pomegranate, Berry, Lemon-lime and Orange!


Original 5-hour ENERGY® was introduced in 2004. Light, portable and effective, 5-hour ENERGY® shots quickly became the no nonsense way for working adults to stay bright and alert*. It’s packed with B-vitamins and amino acids. It has zero sugar, zero herbal stimulants and four calories. 


5-hour Energy comes in a long line of different kinds,

including decaf and extra strength!!



RECOMMENDED USE: Drink one half (1/2) bottle for moderate energy. Drink one whole bottle for maximum energy. Do not exceed two bottles of 5-hour ENERGY® shots daily, consumed several hours apart. Use or discard any remainder within 72 hours (three days) after opening. Refrigeration not required.

CAUTION: Contains caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee. Limit caffeine products to avoid nervousness, sleeplessness, and occasional rapid heartbeat. You may experience a Niacin Flush (hot feeling, skin redness) that lasts a few minutes. This is caused by increased blood flow near the skin. 


Do not take if you are pregnant or nursing, or under 12 years of age. If you are taking medication and/or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before use.

 
Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine. 





A few days ago, I had received my 5-hour energy product in the mail, to try out and write a review.  I waited for a day like today where I was extra tired from lack of sleep to give this thing a shot.


Boy was I surprised, It actually worked!


Took about 20mins for it to cycle threw my system, but I felt alive and awake. I wasn't sleepy at all.   Now I didn't time myself, which maybe I should have, but each persons body system is different. Mine, well I'm guessing the shot of energy lasted me a little more than 5 hours.  Not by much, but a little.  I never hit a crash point.  I never felt the need to take another.  Which was what I was worried about.  In the passed, I have had repeated bottles of like monster or rockstar, just to last me through the day.  There was no need for any of that.  I like how convenient it is. I carried it in my pocket until I hit that point of either this or sleep. :) I'm glad I chose the energy shot.


The flavor I got was pomegranate.  Has a sweet but interesting taste.  No after taste at all.  I love pomegranate anything, but i think this was a little too sweet.  I think next time I have a 5-hour energy that I will go for like the orange or lemon-lime.  Give that a shot and hopefully it won't taste like it did. 

It wasn't a nasty taste, just sweet.

I have already told my friends to definitely give 5-hour energy a shot.

Most have come back and told me that it worked for them too, instead of energy drinks themselves.


The best part about it all, you can buy them just about anywhere.

Wawa, 7-Eleven, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Walmart and many more.


Definitely recommending this product!!!

Mayesa Cacao ~ Healthy Chocolate Drink

Mayesa
"A Healthy Chocolate Drink"
 
 
I’m Abby and I have a passion for all things healthy!  From fitness to nutrition; to wellness of body, mind and spirit…I’ve studied it, I’ve lived it and I’m excited to pass it along. To learn about Mayesa, Click Here!! 
 
 
 
Mayesa is a dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free beverage made from organic cacao (the purest form of dark chocolate).  Full of Cacao, Protein (Non-GMO) and Cinnamon for not only great taste but to help stablize blood sugar. Great for Diabetics!
 
 
I recently received 2 of  Mayesa's Cacao Original Healthy Drinks!  I was extremely eager to try this being that I am Lactose intolerant.  Not fun, but very happy to try something for once with NO Dairy!!  I had my first one in the morning to replace my coffee.  Very tasty and much better for me than my morning routine. Gave me energy that lasted most of the day. After only one of Mayesa's drinks I was more awake, than my 4 cups of coffee through out the day.
I still can't get over the taste.  Its like a chocolate explosion in my mouth. lol Sounds weird but true!
One my second day, I used it as a meal replacement.  Well sort of.  I didn't have a full lunch is what I meant. So instead of my usual salad with chicken and nuts and spinach, I ate a Clif nutrition bar and drank my Mayesa shake.  I drank my shake first and I was quite surprised that after my shake I wasn't really hungry any more.  Thats a plus!!
 
For Taste:  I give it a 4 out of 5.
Only because after I drank the whole thing, i notice a slight left behind after taste, but it won't stop me from drinking more of them.
Size:  5 out of 5.
Perfect Portion!
Price: about $4.00 in store or $36.00 for case of 18.
Not bad at all.
 
Waiting to try the Mint Flavor they have!
Looks Delish and I love Mint!!
 
If your insterested in trying Mayesa
 
 
 
 
Wegman's currently sells Mayesa Cacao!

MY SKITTLES VODKA

SKITTLES VODKA
(Alcohol Beverage)

By: Julia H.
Est: 2005


What is it?
  Pure Happiness! :)  By mixing your favorite vodka and your choice of skittles you make a perfect drink. Basically, every grown adults dream in a bottle. Don't let the fruity colorful drinks fool you, these babies pack a punch!  My little verison on MoonShine lol.

What do you need?
       Simple.  
1 - 1.75 litre of your choice vodka.  (I will tell you that the better quality vodka tastes better)
                                          I used Skyy Vodka.
 Then you need one BIG BAG of Skittle. ( 2 of the next size down. You need about 150 skittles.. estimated)
 
 

Now the last thing you need is small water bottles with labels removed. (Warning the smaller the bottle the more potent it is.)
 
Down the line you will also need:
- a mesh strainer
- about 5 coffee filters or paper towels
- 5 nice glass/plastic bottles to put your creation in... or you can leave it in the water bottles. like i did.

 
 
All you do is take your empty and dry water bottles and line them up. Seperate the colors of the skittles into the 5 bottles (purple, green, yellow, orange, red). If you don't do this step and you mix them together, you will get a very yucky mud color so I recommend taking the time to seperate all the colors. You will use up the whole bag so just keep filling those water bottles until you are out of skittles.

(This image was made by a friend of my, It was not designed by me)

 
- You should have just enough vodka to fill to the top once all the skittles are in place in the bottles.

Place the bottles on a shelf that you can easily get too and shake every once in a while for a day or two or until all of the skittle pieces are dissolved. Please Note that there will be floating white flecks, This is what you will be straining out.

At the end of day two - three you want to strain your vodka. Simply use your mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter or paper towel. I found that pouring each mixture though the mesh strainer (slowly so you don't over flow.) I have and easier time doing it over a large measuring cup with pour spout, makes it easier to pour back in the bottles. You may have to switch out coffee filters a few times once they start to get full of the white candy flecks Which is why I started using paper towels.

Once a color has been fully strained (might take a few times) you can put it in your designated container. make sure to rinse out the measuring cup you use and start with a fresh coffee filter for each color so there isn't any mixing.

Once all five bottles are completed, you can store your new colorful spirits in the freezer. This tastes best by adding a few shots to glass of seven up or seltzer water. You can do shots, but they are going to be sugary so be prepared for that! Enjoy!


Between Prep and make time is about 45mins.
Wait time: 2 to 3 days.
Straining & Bottling time: 30mins.

Brings a whole new meaning to taste the rainbow!

Best thing about this.  You can make it for about $20.

Runa Guayusa Tea

 
 
About Us
 
Runa began as a conversation over tea, during the hours before sunrise in the Amazon rainforest. In the winter of 2008, a team of students traveled to the Ecuadorian Amazon to participate in an ancestral tea ceremony with the Kichwa people – a tradition of storytelling, music, and learning – all centered around a large boiling pot of guayusa tea over a burning fire.
Collectively, we envisioned a business that could share this rich-tasting tea – a business that would respect cultural traditions, support small farmers, and maintain the integrity of the Amazon rainforest.
Runa, meaning “fully living human being,” continues to grow from this seed of conversation and exchange. We are energized to share this tea tradition with a global community.
-Tyler and Dan
 
The company makes different products, not just tea's!!

Clean Energy Drink
Clean Energy is an entirely new take on energy drinks.
One can of Runa Clean Energy has 50% more caffeine than a Red Bull, 650 mg of polyphenol antioxidants, and a clean, smooth taste – all from one brewed leaf, not a lab.

 
 
I was sent a sample package from Runa Guayusa Tea a day ago.  I was excited to get this, because I am a TEA FANATIC! Went into my kitchen and immediately filled my tea pot up with water and started to boil.  I was sent two (2) tea bags of Ginger-Citrus Guayusa
Other Flavors are TraditionalCinnamon Lemongrass and Mint!
 
If you rather the Loose tea mixes, Guess what they have them too!
Energizing, smooth and rich, with a hint of natural sweetness, guayusa keeps you awake and alert.
 
 
Ginger-Citrus tastes amazing. Gave me a lot of energy. Made me feel great. Its a great replacement for soda.  Has as much caffiene as Coffee or Soda which ever your choice is. I plan on buying more of Runa with the coupons that were sent to me with my samples, so I can test out the other flavors. Also, I will start my mornings out with a cup of Runa instead of my Wawa coffee.
 
Runa (for Marlton, NJ folks) is carried at the local Whole Foods, Wegmans and The Vitamin Shoppe!  For those of you not in our area you can use their Store Locator or order online at Runa Guayusa Tea
