HONEY REVIEW! PureBeeing Honey Made Sweeter with Music

I've always known that music is good for the soul but I recently found out how it can also be good for...honey!

Yes! I know it's strange....

At some point last year, my mother received a jar of PureBeeing honey as a gift. Eager to try something new, I decided to taste it. It was DELICIOUS! I generally like honey but my common complaint is that many brands have a slightly bitter after-taste. This brand is completely different! It's sweet and smooth and goes very well with a nice cup of tea.

After enjoying some hot tea with milk and PureBeeing honey, I decided to research more about the brand. I didn't have to go much further than their website to understand how they're so unique. They play music in their apiary 24/7! That's such a good idea and the results are delicious!

PureBeeing Honey is based in Galveston, TX and you can learn more about where its sold on their Facebook page.

.....Now I want some tea....with milk and honey.....

Pomelo! Pomelo!

I tried a pomelo for the first time!

It's a strange looking fruit - something between a giant lime and a green grapefruit.

Actually, it's appearance is what brought me to buy it and try it. The fruit tastes like a grapefruit but it is much less tart. I tried eating it the way I eat a grapefruit - by spooning out the fegs - but, the pith in a pomelo is too thick! In fact, the pith makes up a majority of the whole fruit! 

Anyway, after cutting it into quarters, I started wondering exactly what a "pomelo" is. Well, a pomelo is a citrius fruit that is actually an ancestor of a grapefruit! It is native to South and Southeast Asia. Many of the pictures I see of pomelos are of pear-shaped pomelos but mine was very round.. As is expected with citrus fruits, a pomelo is a very good source of Vitamin C. It is also very high in Potassium and is a good source for B-vitamins, iron, magnesium, and protein.

Here are some more pictures:

Go try a POMELO today! :)

I Learned the Hard Way (#ILTHW)

Okay, so many of my life experiences are the epitome of "learning things the hard way". Yeah there's advice from parents, suggestions from friends, and guidance from mentors and teachers but somehow, true life-learning always comes from first-hand experiences. This is especially true in my life so much that I decided to blog about these #ILTHW experiences.

Watch out for stories from the life of Jewel that will probably have you literally lol'ing (? hahaha). Anyway, this is just a quick post to let y'all know what's coming soon!

Have a great week! :)

Jewel's Random TidBits - I got the idea of sharing my #ILTHW experiences one day while cutting an un-ripened plantain. Stay tuned for the full story - haha!
