NEW STAFF WRITER TELLS HER STORY, WHICH IS OUR STORY
"Dear Diary, I’ve Changed
I enjoy writing, I really do, but writing about yourself is awful. Profile pieces are the equivalent of leaving your diary open in a coffee shop for everyone to read, tear stained pages open, the juiciest, embarrassing details revealed. One could argue that since I’m steering this ship, I choose what parts of myself I reveal and which remain hidden, but it’s not that easy. There are 31 years of experiences and emotions to sift through, 31 years of failures and successes, of triumphs and victories, all playing a role in shaping the me of today...

THE BLUE LION KOMBUCHA
Believed to have originated in Asia centuries ago, Kombucha is created through the process of fermentation using a living SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) and feeding it caffeinated tea and sugar allowing it to produce a number of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and organic acids benefiting the human bodies immune system.
Teaming up with Vams Culture, we have our very own exclusive Blue Lion Kombucha. Green & black tea, infused with blueberry juice and ginseng! It's Berry Tasty! |
