BANG Energy Drinks: An HONEST REVIEW

Image
I know these drinks have been around for quite some time now (like years, I took the late train ) but as a self diagnosed caffeine addict I figure my opinion holds some value to anyone who has yet to try these drinks. Considering Bang isn't as popular as Monster/Rockstar/Red Bull products I would imagine there is still a number of people who haven't heard of them. Let me begin by saying these are more than just an "energy drink" but definitely a "pre-workout drink". Each can of Bang delivers a high amount of caffeine at 300mg. According to the Red Bull website " One 8.4 oz can of Red Bull Energy drink contains 80mg of caffeine, about the same amount as in a cup of coffee." That means Bang energy drinks have over triple the amount of Red Bull. Something to consider if you're caffeine sensitive or regularly consume coffee or other caffeinated products. Personally I don't drink energy drinks because I'm not a fan of the sugar content or ...

A Trip to the Asian Market

We're gonna talk about AZN SNAKS...like *me* juuuust kidding~ If you've ever been to an asian food store/grocer/market then you know the two most prominent sections of the place:  1. The pungent seafood area (try walking past this section without holding your breath, I dare you) and 2. The snack aisle. Oh, behold! The glorious foreign treats and sweets from the orient. Shelves colorfully lined with products in Japanese labels. Also in abundance here; drinks in funky glass bottles and packages with anime characters or ridiculously cute animals. If sweets aren't your craving, there's always chips-a-plenty for whatever you fancy. The struggles of being an Asian kid were real, and sugary...real sugary. Growing up half an asian kid, I never left the Filipino store empty handed. That would be a crime. Fast forward till now, and I still get the spark of excitement of going to the asian market store. Conditioned into my being: the concept ...

Disney Babe~

I'm not like a regular mom, I'm a Disney mom  There has been a lot of Disney collaborations/collections lately that are giving me serious heart eyes. The Disney Store recently dropped the Oh My Disney 90's inspired collection and I am here for it! I grew up on Disney and I can thank my mother for that. We owned every predominant Disney movie on VHS. Even then, we were lucky to own some of the lesser known films. I think with the exception of the really discreet Disney movies [ Songs of the South, both Fantasias' and the Sleepy Hollow one]  we had every one you could think of. My sister and I had shelves that bordered our childhood bedroom that our VHS sat neatly on. My mother was so particular about them that even to this day they are in practically like-new condition. She just keeps them stored in tote boxes now. You bet your ass I am going bananas over these VHS lookalike clutches: *breathes heavily* Now to convince my husband this is a wise investment. he...
