Going Green, Burning Fat and Drinking Organic, Fair Trade Coffee from Boresha®
Okay my loyal fans, I really want you to give this a fair sip. If I told you I found a coffee that is 100% certified organic, as well as fair trade certified, and helps you burn fat would you be interested in hearing about it? I’m banking on the fact that you are reading this blog because you want to make better buying decisions this year and you want to burn off excess fat.
We’ve all been continually reading and watching the news and know that coffee beans are the #2 internationally traded commodity but not all coffee is treated equal nor are the people who work hard to cultivate, produce and deliver it to our doorsteps.
Boresha International roasts coffee in Concord, CA. Did you know that the United States does not grow any coffee except in Puerto Rico and Hawaii? The coffee beans purchased by Boresha arrive from the Ethiopian, Ugandon and Tanzania regions. These beans are grown on farms that are environmentally sustainable and boast of the following certifications.
(OCIA) - Organic Crop Improvement Association which is the oldest, largest and most trusted leaders in the organic certification industry 100% shade grown organic.
USDA Organic - The United States benchmark for standard agricultural practices. Operations must be certified by a state or private entity that has been accredited by the USDA.
Fair Trade Certified - The coffee was grown responsibly, the farmers received a fair price and no child labor was used.
So now you feel good about the coffee you are drinking, you are supporting the local Concord, CA economy and did I mention you can also burn fat at a rapid rate drinking Boresha’s B-Skinny coffee?® 
Boresha Coffee and Skinny Science joined forces and together have developed a patented fat-burning thermogenic coffee. BSkinny Coffee® received the first and only low glycemic coffee patent ever awarded. This low glycemic patent is for hunger control, balanced energy, and combats stress-related eating. Did you know that drinking coffee causes fat storage in humans? So technically you are getting the buzz you crave but you are stimulating fat storage at the same time. One of the key components of BSkinny coffee® is that is contains “Buffered Caffeine” instead of regular caffeine.
I am personally looking forward to trying Boresha Bskinny coffee® for myself if for nothing else than to know I’m purchasing and consuming a responsibly grown coffee that is being roasted in Contra Costa County. If I burn some fat in the process I’m certainly not going to complain.

3 Organics Gift Ideas for a Special Day
Here are three organic gift ideas to spring upon someone special just because you want to make someone happy and be green.
Organic Gift #1 - A “love” potion drink
Square One Vodka
Share a cocktail with your loved one make an organic love potion drink- I’ve heard a lot of great things about Square One Vodka which is organic and made here locally. Apparently there are these newlyweds Jay Esopenko and Melissa Gugni, owners of Drink Event Bartending in San Francisco, that have designed a killer organic drink using Square One Vodka!
Love Potion #12
2 oz. organic 100% pomegranate juice
1 1/2 oz. Square One organic vodka
1/2 blood orange squeezed
1/2 lime squeezed
1/4 to 1/2 oz. simple syrup (1/2 raw sugar–1/2 water dissolved)
Now you can make this yourself because Square One Vodka is sold at Beverages and More but I also know they serve Square One Vodka at Caps Bar and Grill in Brentwood, CA. I’m thinking it might be nice to be served………
Organic Gift #2 - Flowers
red-pink-anemone
Organic flowers are beautiful, thoughtful and rapidly gaining popularity. Roses are great but there are so many more flowers out there to choose. If you want beautiful red and pink flowers to show your love, you might want to look for a organic anemone bouquet. If you want a titillating scent you might purchase a bouquet of narcissus. It’s not too late to order a organic flower bouquet. A great place to order from is http://www.californiaorganicflowers.com
Organic Gift #3 - Chocolate of Course!
Fair Trade Organic Chocolate Hearts
Next to Halloween, Valentines Day is probably the biggest chocolate holiday on earth. Chocolate is a definitely a mood lifter and contrary to popular belief, dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and when eaten in moderation it can help aid weight loss. Purchasing organic chocolate is good for the environment as well as your body since you aren’t knowingly ingesting pesticides.
At Kates Caring Gifts in Fremont, CA you can order a gift pack of 9 organic fair trade vegan chocolate cherry hearts and it won’t break your wallet at all. They are made in Northern California so you are also supporting our local economy. You can order online at http://www.katescaringgifts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GS_PACK_O_HEARTS_CHERRY
So I guess I met my goal. I found three great organic gifts, all within California. Now let’s see if my followers start following my lead.
Going Green by drinking Organic Tea from Numi
As I was drinking a cup of tea this morning, I didn’t realize that I was “going green” drinking organic tea from Numi. I had
Black Tea in Cup
Anyway, after I spent the morning exploring all the many different types of tea available and watched a video of the secret of the Puerh tree. I did a little research on the Numi company and was pleasantly surprised.
Numi is an outstanding “B” corporation company which means they not only “talk the talk” about green practices they also “walk the walk.” B Corporation are a growing group of companies that are changing what it means to be successful. Success isn’t just measured by the bottom line but also by their social and environmental performance.
Numi is actively involved in carbon offset programs, they practice organic farming and are USDA certified organic no pesticides or chemicals are used in their production process. The tea bags are biodegradable and their packaging consists of 85% post consumer waste. They offer attractive “tea” boxes that are made from bamboo which is one of the worlds most organic, earth friendly trees due to their rapid regrowth.
I’m looking forward to broadening my horizons and exploring the many teas that Numi offers. I’m going to feel good about my “green” purchase.
