Alternative Natural Sweeteners

It has been a very busy week for me. In the past couple of days, I have transferred two of my blogs from blogger hosted to my very own web hosting account. In processing things, I find myself staying late at night and drinking too much coffee again.

It really worries me very much. Aside from looking like a zombie, my sugar intake has increased as ate chocolates and drink coffee with increased amount of sugar. I am becoming unhealthy. Since I can’t live forever this way, I tried searching for ways to live my life in an alternative manner – the healthier way. Then I found this website that sells gums, mints, fruit sours and coffee shots that contains all naturall sweeteners, flavorings and color. It’s called Emerald Forest. Their products contain xylitol which comes from a non-genetically modified, pesticide-free corn and 100% erythritol crystals extracted from sugar. This means that their products are of the highest quality of all natural sweeteners and snacks which mean it would be a great alternative to my sweet tooth! Not to mention a healthier lifestyle. These natural sweeteners does not contain any calories. So it is really safe to take when you are on a diet. You don’t worry that you will take it too much weight.

Being healthy these days is all that matter, with the toxicity of the environment, we must be conscious always with our lifestyle. Not only those who have aged a bit but also the younger ones too.

Am I a Nerd, Geek or Dork??

I was doing some blog hopping. No destination in particular, just hop and hop until I arrived in a blog that posted a quiz asking if you are a nerd, geek or dork. For me, I always thought all are of the same species but the quiz say that three are all but different from each other. So, I took the liberty of taking the quiz just to know from which specie I belong but my result was not quite as I expected. Here is mt result:

Joe Normal
43 % Nerd, 17% Geek, 39% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

This is not to say that you don’t have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you–we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren’t much of an outcast.

So, why not take the test too? You can do so by clicking HERE.
