15 Fun Recipes for Fruit Infused Water #Instacuppa

Fruit infused water is one of the easiest drinks you can make at home, offering a tasty option for the entire family while also nourishing your body with the wealth of various nutrients and vitamins that fruits have to offer.

The man who gives away free roses to remind lonely women they are loved #WATWB

While Valentine's Day is generally a feel-good holiday, it can be bittersweet for those who are alone or away from their loved ones on this special day for romance.

The look of happiness and utter surprise on the faces of the women was motivation enough for Seth Stewart to decide h...

'Love Your Pet' Day

Using the Instacuppa detox double walled glass bottle infuser #SuperBloggerChallenge

Over the years, I have made dozens of attempts to lose weight, albeit not always successful. One of the many reasons I offer for my failure is lack of the right product, be it a jogging accessory, a healthy cooking accessory or even the right song to work out to. You know how it is.

One of the products that I was impressed by when I first saw it online and which I subsequently bought last year was a Green Tea Detox Bottle. I have already clarified in last week's article on how green tea aids n...
