tried out this tofu house in los angeles with a racing anime theme.
funny enough, i just went gokart yesterday for the first time (will be posting a vlog abt it, so subs!)

also scored a side table for $13 at savers.
i think i'll be more on the lookout for furnitures when thrifting, 
and really need to look for other places to thrift other than goodwill 
because the gw near me rarely has things i like.

life in California vlog: trying out lotsss of restaurants and cafe's in Los Angeles and Sacramento
which are mostly asian food, my first time wine tasting at Napa Valley, and the best hotel i've stayed at
so far that doesn't break your bank,plus a mini TJmaxx haul.

as i've shared in my previous posts, i've been paying more attention to nutrition and gut health lately
by cutting on processed food, caffeine, sugar (switched to honey and cut on sugary snacks), and gluten.
based on what i've learned, increasing gut health looks like incorporating more probiotics and prebiotics,
so i've been on the lookout for good supplements to support it.

i've started consuming glutamine supplement that promotes healthy gut lining,
as for probiotics, i found crane wellness and reached out to them to try their vitamin C probiotic
since i've been wanting to try those asian jelly supplements.

it tastes sweet, sour and citrusy that i thought the color would be orangey,
only realised it has no color when i took these photos
and i found out it's because they contain no added coloring.

these probiotic-C jellies contains 10 Billion Bifidobacterium Longum and 100mg of Vitamin C,
has no GMO, gluten and sugar free.

 

as for caffeine, i've been switching my daily coffee for something less strong- matcha,
and when i do have my coffee a few times a week, i opt for some decaf.

 

what i've noticed after a month of this routine:
- less bloated
- less stressed (that can be caused by processed food and sugars)
- eczema/ itchiness fading
- better sleep

 i've been looking for quality ground coffee that is low acid
(so i can drink them with less guilt),
and after some surfing in the web, found fabula coffee

it gives your coffee a frothy foam,
really feels like i'm having latte from a coffee shop!

drink coffee without a tummy burn!
go ahead and try with a 20% off when you use my code "BRENDAEVANS" at fabula.
