i'm weeding out the alcohol from my life, for now, for different reasons... my new drink of choice is KOMBUCHA (gingerade or cranberry explosion) cuz it's divine for detox & for boosting my immune system... i'm posting this from my mobile so can't go thru the trouble of getting u links on KOMBUCHA so look it up cuz it's worth it (find it on www.blackle.com)... the fermented shroom aftertaste takes sum getting used to (but it reminds me of a drink I hated as a kid & now luv... ah nostalgia!)... anyhew, get sum (whole foods or wild oats) & try it! it will change ur life... big hug, m:)
ps: I need at least 2 bottles a day now to make my life a fuller one; kombucha is my new religion... wow, I started out catholic till I was 12 then jewish till I was 18 (well jewish school at least cuz israëlite students were not only sexier but wealthier, and the synagogue was more fun)... I have yet to explore my huguenot/protestant & russian/georgian orthodox sides; maybe when I get senile & embrace regression!)... to make a long story short it's now all about the kombucha!!! for balance, drink tons of water throughout... if ur like me & that sounds like too much of a task, try sparkling water (i alternate between perrier, pellegrino, gerolsteiner & my favorite: salty tasting but full of minerals APOLLINARIS)... if u prefer flat water, get some barley tea for coloring & flavor! azalea's xmas prezie to me was a trip to the korean supermarket for a huge box of barley tea bags (it has no caffeine/théine in it & helps ur body cleanse). lucky for me, I love the taste of barley, and even more how good it makes me feel...
