Best Krups Coffee Grinders

Good morning from a cold windy Johannesburg. I have just spent a few days by the sea in Ballito near Durban enjoying the warmth that comes of the sea an now I am back to the cold. Being by the sea means wandering along beaches and sitting in cafes...drinking delicious lattes or cappuccinos...mmmm

Krups Coffee Grinder

Krups Coffee Grinder

Anyway, enough day dreaming and back to what I started out with in this blog. 

I have just written an new lens on Squidoo all about coffee grinders from Krups, called Best Krups Coffee Grinders 

Coffee helps to keep me warm in my African winter and I love coffee. But I was heart broken when my Krups grinder of 25 years gave up a couple of weeks ago.

I just had to get a new one.

The last one had been a present so this time I had to do my own research to find one. The lens shows you my findings that helped me make a decision of what one to buy :)

I hope it will help you when you go looking for a coffee grinder too.

You can read the lens here.

Juicers And Juicing

Having a juicer and making your own juice is a refreshing way of staying healthy. Not only do you avoid all the additives and sugar that is added to commercial juices, when you make it you can taste the pure goodness as it goes down.

I have been posting about juicers and juicing on Squidoo.com and wanted to let you know about my new board on Pintrest which can be found here http://pinterest.com/katdrewonline/juicers-and-juicing/. I am slowly gathering great pictures and recipes for juices and health.

You find more juice idea over at www.indulgy.com where I have a collection of some great juice stuff :) That collection you can find here: http://indulgy.com/Kat--Drew/Juicers--And--Juicing

I hope you enjoy the colourful appetizing pictures and will come back and revisit as I add more.

Water Filtration and Purification System

Yesterday I wrote another lens on the Squidoo site all about the Zen Water Systems Countertop Filtration and Purification System which is a wonderful say of having clean purified water that taste great.

I love drinking water, but it was not always so. I used to always want something mixed into the water or I would rather not have it. Then I read a book about water which got me interested and I have now read about ten books about the power of water and what it can do for you. How good it is for your health and how most of us are dehydrated most of the time.

I have written a couple of posts about water and how to win back your thirst and how water can contribute to weight loss. You can find these articles here http://www.weightlosssecretsonline.co.uk One of the articles is called 7 Reasons To Drink Water and the other is Will Drinking Water Help You Lose Weight

Water is the perfect beverage. I hope you enjoy reading these three posts and you move forward to a more healthy life of drinking purified water.

Meditation

Something that has fascinated me for a long time now is meditation. This old art is tied up as being a very difficult thing to do when in reality it is the most simple of our natural talents, it is something that we have always been able to do and is a way that we heal our bodies naturally.

Yesterday, I put together a new article on Squidoo that explains all about meditation and how it can help you heal and rest. You can also find a whole lot more information about meditation at http://www.meditationforyou.co.uk where you will also find out how to meditate in 9 minutes and what you can get out of meditation.

Sodastream Jet Starter Pack

Yesterday I made another lens on Squidoo all about the Sodastream Jet Starter Pack. Soda makers come into and out of fashion quite often. But why would you want a soda maker anyway?

I got one when my daughter was little so I could make healthy floats with homemade icecream. I could make sodas from fresh juice and she was getting a fun drink and a healthyish one at the same time.

Later on, as she grew older she was able to make the drinks herself and she has a vivid imagination and she is very, very creative! Now she has moved away from home and a soda machine is part of her cocktail parties :)

Soda makers are for all ages and sizes and there are many reasons to get one, and I guess many reasons not to. But read my review and get your questions answered before you go out and buy one.

Breville BSB530XL the All In One Processing Station

Yesterday I made another page on the Squidoo site, which is also about food processors and the Breville BSB530XL All In One Processing Station

I have had a normal, big, heavy food processor for years and have used it plenty! However, it broke so I hummed and harred about what to get now. I had a little hand-held blender but that is limited. My research took me to thi Breville All In One Processing Station.

When I started looking at all the food processors available I saw that there is one for every home and every pocket so I put together a lens to show others some of the processors I came across without them searching all over the internet. I have looked at reviews and prices and and checked out what other people have been saying about the Breville All In One Processing Station and others like it.

I hope you enjoy the review.

Oils, fats and the nonsense inbetween

Today I am on one of my high horses...and this one is about fats and oils...ugh...Oils, which ones are good for you?

We have been told for years how fat will make you fat and this fat is good and that fat is bad. This week butter is bad next week vegetable oils are good. And the more I hear and the more I research the  more nonsense it all makes!

Fat is good...period. It  does not make you fat and some fats are even essential, which means you cannot produce it in your body and you must have it for your health so you must get it from your food. These are the Omega fats that there is also a lot of "nonsense" about these too. They put extra omega fats in eggs and mild...but does this help or does it add to the imbalance of omegas that we get...yes we get far to much omega 6 and this is the problem.

I have written a post on the harmful fats and the myths surrounding eating fats on Squidoo. Go check it out here, Oils,which ones are good for you, and get more confused...no,only kidding. I hope it will help you a bit.

Yesterday I made another page on the Squidoo site, which is also about juice and juicing,  what juicers are available and especially about the Breville BJE820XL Juice Fountain Duo Dual Disc Juicer which is the top juicer from Breville.

Juice is so good for you and fresh morning juice is a really great start to the day. With this juicer you have the best of both worlds because you can juice all kinds of fruits and get juice or smoothies to suit your taste.

When I started looking at all the juicers available I saw that there is a juicer for every home and every pocket so I put together a lens to show others some of the best juicers and why juicing can be so good for you, without them searching all over the internet. I have looked at reviews and prices and and checked out what other people have been saying about this amazing juicer.

I hope you enjoy the review.

Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain

Yesterday I made a new page on the Squidoo site, or rather a lens as they call it there, and it is all about juice and juicing,  what juicers are available and especially about the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain which is a really great juicer.


I love juice and find it gives me a great start to my day, it keeps me healthy and I get to fill up an all sorts of nutrient rich foods. I would be utterly lost without my juicer.

When I started looking at all the juicers available I saw that there is a juicer for every home and every pocket so I put together a lens to show others some of the best juicers and why juicing can be so good for you, without them searching all over the internet.
