I Scream for Ice Cream!



Ice cream will always be the top comfort food. While others may want something else, no one really hates ice cream and this is perfectly understandable. Ice cream embraces you fully, no matter who you are, no matter where you came from, and no matter how you feel at the moment. It comes in different colors and flavors. It comes in different consistencies. It comes in different prices. Even one ice cream flavor can have an endless list of possible varieties.


Summer is here and under the scorching sun, I dream of smooth, heavenly goodness that melts in my mouth and soothes me wholly. Let me share to you, my top 3 favorite ice cream flavors:

1. So Very Strawberry. I don't really know what it is about strawberries but I love it and I love it more in ice cream! Some people I know actually think it tastes weird but I love it. I think it is the interesting mix of sweet, sour, and creamy.


2. Dreaming of Cookies n' Cream. it is actually a family favorite. We usually get two ice cream flavors when we get together and there's no question that one of those is cookies n' cream. Now, I love it more because it brings back lots of memories. It actually feels like home.


3. Living Vanilla Loca. Yes. I love good old plain vanilla. I love it because it allows you to get creative. Add syrups, nuts, fruits, sprinkles, marsh mallows, chocolate chips - the list never ends. 


Indulge. Dream and scream for ice cream. And don't forget the cherry on top!

Go Raw!

A lot of people believe that raw food is the healthiest way to go. This practice is also known as Raw Foodism or Rawism. Like the name implies, this is a practice of eating only raw foods such as raw fruits, grains, and raw vegetables. Food items in a raw food diet should be uncooked and unprocessed. Usually, these are what most people call organic foods. This is said to be a much healthier of eating food as heating the food causes loss of nutrients. There are also some studies that prove how cooking can make the food harmful for a person. A raw food diet will ensure that a person will eat food that are safe to eat and with all its vitamins and nutrients intact.

Some people choose to go on raw food diet for three possible reasons.

  • Weight loss
  • Better health
  • Environmental causes

Does Raw Food Diet work?

Although the nutrients of food items usually found in the raw food diet, there are usually questions about this diet being a good one for weight loss. There are also questions about the suitability of such diet for people with busy schedules and for people who are always in a hurry. Instead of using the microwave, food preparation is usually done using blenders, dehydrators, and food processors. These are processes that are as quick as when microwave ovens are used, yet produce healthier dishes!


People who go into raw food diet have a good chance of losing weight. The fact that food items in this kind of diet contain low calories, low sodium, low fats, and high fiber makes it a lot better when measuring these against what they eat before this diet. These food items are usually rich in vitamins and nutrients too. This is perfect for busy people to keep them in shape and in their best condition to work and perform their daily tasks.
