My Bootea Experience.

Well, hello.

I've been meaning to update for a while after my Bootea post but things have been a bit hectic.

Anyways, as for the Bootea, I was going to do a full review, but I can't really do that because I didn't complete it.

Not through lack of willpower however, I ended up passing it on to my friend.

Just thought I would share with you my experience anyway.

I loved the day time tea, that was tasty! I was dreading it, but it was actually really pleasant!

 I think I only got about 4/5 days in because the night time tea left me in agony...No, not in the way you're thinking, my stomach is pretty sensitive so it just didn't sit right with me.

The night time tea was a little harder for me to drink because it has a peppermint flavour and I cannot stand peppermint tea, but it wasn't too bad! I drank the tea around 10pm and woke up in the middle of the night with really bad cramps and I felt sick, this carried on throughout the night and the next day which I didn't like, obviously. But it didn't do it's actual job which I thought was what the cramping was going to lead to, I had been warned about the night time tea!! -I'm trying not to spell it out here, but you know what I mean! I was a little confused and thought maybe it wasn't the tea and maybe something I had eaten ( I'm gluten intolerant so I thought maybe I had eaten something by mistake. - Bootea is gluten free, I asked them before I bought it!) so I tried the tea again on the 3rd night....same thing. So I decided to stop because I couldn't go through that for 7 nights and the days following.

Seriously gutted because I'm sure it would have worked, I noticed my bloating went down a bit by day 2 so I was pretty impressed with that!

I guess it just wasn't for me! I could have just carried on with the day time tea but at the time I was that wary of the night time one I just didn't want it. I might try just the day time one some time in the future though!

So, yes, there are my thoughts on Bootea. If you can stomach it, which most people can, I say go for it!

M.I.A

Sorry for the complete lack of posts lately, I have been SO ill.

Had Norovirus followed straight on by a kidney infection, then got better then I started getting serious pains after I ate and it was making me physically sick. Was horrible. Turns out I have a gluten intolerance....who knew eh?!

Ah well, all that is behind me now and I'm trying to get on with being Gluten Free, it's not been that bad so far, I mean I'm only a few days in but it hasn't bothered me at all. To be honest, it's inspired me to start cooking and baking again. Going to attempt to make my own birthday cake next month!.... I'll let you know how that one goes!

I've also been busy with college, hair is taking over my life. When I'm at home, I'm doing my mum and sisters hair and in college I'm either playing with dolls or blow drying peoples hair. BUT I passed my two exams and got a distinction in my first practical assessment so I'm pretty pleased with that. Well, I did say I was going to get my head down and get this done, and done properly and well.

I'm pretty lucky though, all of my class get along, there's no little cliques or anything, maybe because we're all a little older. We all get on so well and everyone's really nice and we all went out for drinks after we did our exams, I think there was about 15 of us or so....was a little rowdy!!

Well, yeah, just thought I would share a little post to say why I've been M.I.A, unfortunately it wasn't for any glamorous reason like I had been whisked away somewhere tropical and warm! haha!!

Going to get back to writing and scheduling some posts now for when I'm back at college so I dont lag so much :/
