Perks of Using Ceremonial Grade Matcha; Is it Worth the Hype?

It is no secret that matcha green tea has risen in significance over the past few years. Its ability to promote several health benefits makes it a great addition to one’s lifestyle.

Little do people know that matcha green tea is sectioned into two grades, which are:

●       Culinary matcha

●       Ceremonial matcha

 

The categorisation is due to the different harvest times. It is a slight change but it results in a change of color, flavor, and even its uses. 

A Little Insight to Ceremonial Grade Matcha:

If you are planning to opt for ceremonial grade matcha and you are new to it; then here is a little insight into it. 

Mascara Love Update Post

 

Welcome to my Mascara Love Update post. 

Mascara has always been my go-to makeup item. If I had to only choose one beauty product to use for the rest of my life or to put on before doing a TV appearance or going anywhere at all, it would be mascara. A close second would be a great light-pink lipgloss or lipstick 💄, but that’s another post. Stay tuned because I have several of those and am itching to try more and share the outcome with you. Who isn't looking for the perfect nude lipstick, anyway 🤷

You can find the original post about 9 tubes in 5 different kinds of mascara here, so if you add those to this post, it turns out I am able to discuss 11 mascaras without duplicates, and that's just the tip of the iceberg of what's out there (and if you don't count Lash Princess in waterproof and regular as one thing)! And this is ironic or something BECAUSE my original post was from almost 11 years ago.

In case you're wondering, I pretty much always get mascara in BLACK. Back in the ’80s, yes, I did have blue and purple mascaras though, and I would not hesitate to use those again. Just waiting for my daughters to buy some so I can borrow it. (Some of you — like our family ophthalmologist — are freaking out right now about eye diseases and sharing mascara, and I'll do an update post if that ever happens.)

Avoid The Repairs

First, you need to make sure that you avoiding expensive repairs and replacements where possible. One of the best ways to do this is to complete the right checks. For instance, one of the most expensive issues with your home is always going to be a boiler repair or replacement. This can be avoided completely if you make sure that you do complete checks on these home elements on a regular basis. Your boiler in particular should be checked annually or bi-annually. This will help you avoid a replacement that could result in a bill costing you thousands rather than hundreds. 

You need to make sure that you are avoiding car repairs as well. If you speak to a car accident lawyer, they will tell you that the easier way to do this is to make sure that you do keep your car well maintained.

When you run short of money and need some quick, your local pawn shop can help if you have anything of value.  Walk into a pawn shop, and check out the various items they take for pawn.  You may be surprised to see the latest in home appliances, jewelry, name-brand items such as tennis shoes, and expensive purses.  The things you find there have to be of good quality, and in perfect working condition.  These stores have a reputation to maintain, so they want merchandise that is appealing to consumers.  Many pawnbrokers in large cities have more than one pawn shop. This is very convenient for customers who will not have to drive a long distance to get to one.

Are you getting ready to go to college? If so, you have probably realized that there are plenty of great schools out there. It can be difficult for you to decide what college to go to, and there is nothing wrong with taking your time and making this decision. For example, you need to think about the quality of the university’s leadership, as James F. Mellichamp is a prominent leader. At the same time, there are numerous other factors you need to think about as well. What are some of the most important things you need to think about when you are trying to find the right college to meet your needs?

Consider the Size of the Program

One of the first things you need to think about is the size of the program. How big of a school are you looking for? There are plenty of colleges and universities out there that have fewer than 1,000 students. On the other hand, there are also major universities that have tens of thousands of students. What size school is right for you? Do you want to get to know just about everybody on campus? Or, do you want to go to a school where there are always new people to meet? How big do you want your classes to be? All of this is important when you are trying to decide what college is right for you.
