I have to say I'm a little bit disgusted at how much weight I've managed to put on over my last semester at university, but I'm hardly surprised about it. I did the exact same thing first semester: I gained about ten pounds due to stress eating and focusing more on my classes and hand-ins than I did my weight. I fortunately got my act together over Christmas and managed to lose it all and then some before going back for semester two. It wasn't long, however, until the pressure was laid on strongly and I found myself stress-eating the way through my remaining class time and then exams. Following exams, I had the hideous wait for my degree classification, which didn't ...  Read the complete review

My caffeine addiction has not been a problem for the past 10 or so years. There was that period of about a year where I was drinking energy drinks like they were going out of fashion resulting in pretty consistent tooth, head and stomach ache - but since giving those up pretty much 100% and sticking to coffee I'm much healthier.

PACKAGING Three Mint tea comes in a rectangular shaped box which tears at the side to reveal a lid that flaps open and closes securely. It has what looks like mint leaf ...  Read the complete review

As somewhat of a peppermint tea addict, this is my all-time favourite. Found in Manchester Metropolitan Uni's organic/health food shop, the product is also available from Holland and Barrett, larger Sainsburys and Tescos. Peppermint tea is well known for its goodness, being caffeine free and a great aid to digestion, but until my discovery I never saw it as a treat! Pukka's distinctive of peppermint, spearmint and fieldmint add a new sweetness and fuller flavour to the norm, and make a cup of herbal tea truly delicious. Better yet, you can feel good whilst drinking it! Pukka have a strong environmental policy, and therefore pledge that their ...  Read the complete review
