Your Tea - Tiny Tea Hoopla!

Like SOOOOOOO many others, Instagram sent out its hook, and reeled me in with yet another product.

This time, it was the product by the company " Your Tea " - and it was there Tiny Tea -Tea Tox.


As per the website this is what the product claims to do:

My intricately balanced herbal blend will nourish and cleanse your digestive system, providing it the support it needs to replenish and restore back to its natural state. This cleanse will assist with reducing weight, easing bloating, increasing digestion functionality, improving skin clarity, increasing energy levels and alleviate issues associated with food intolerances. Formulated with Chinese medicine herbs and based upon Chinese medicinal principles, TinyTea is the only herbal cleanse on the market that does not produce a laxative effect. TinyTea has been created by qualified Chinese Medicine practitioners with considerable years of experience. I contain 84 teabags per box. Each teabag weighs 2.5g.
* contains gluten

( MY PERSONAL: LAST PACKET OF THIS TEA) 

I'm the type of person that will really try anything, as long as it isn't going to harm me. But with that said... This tea was a pretty steep price ($55.00 - plus shipping ) for a 28 day detox, that i thought... With that price, and how many people said it worked... They can't all be lying... They can't all be exaggerating, especially with all this hype.

Here are a few photos from their instagram that loured me in !




Anyways, let me get down to telling you my experience with this product.

I'm going to give you the 'coles notes version' because, truthfully.... It wasn't very good.

- It taste quite gross
- You have to steep the tea for way longer than they recommend to get any flavor... which makes me feel as if the tea is stale/old
- Flat out, i saw no difference what so ever
- I did not feel any more energized
Once again, if it SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, it usually is. That being said, i don't think that everyone who has written, your YouTubed a positive review on this company, was lying. HOWEVER, it definitely did not do anything for me.

That being said, i will still try products... but it's really hitting home that... The only guarantee of anything helping you in your weight loss, fitness, healthy journey... Is getting your butt moving !!

GARCINIA CAMBOGIA HYPE | Does it ACTUALLY work?


So, i have a little confession to make... i totally got suckered into the Garcinia Cambogia craze.
Now- in my defence, i didn't actually pay for it... I just paid $5 for the shipping... But, none the less.

I feel like i got suckered. Although it shouldn't be much of a surprise, because usually when things SOUND to good to be true... They usually are, i just figured that it would be worth the shot because it was 1. free and 2. i had seen quite a few people on Youtube review it- and say that they had lost weight.

Maybe my judgement on the fact that i didn't think any of these people were professional actors, and what were they gaining about lying about a product that works or not.

Anyways- the instructions says to take a pill 45 minutes before eating, and then drink 1 cup of water. Well, i did this every day... And, i can firmly say, i didn't feel AMAZING like people reported... and i couldn't report any weight loss.

Anyways, conveniently enough, i saw on FaceBook, that Beach Body's Melissa McAllister posted about the little green pill saying " save your money, garcinia cambogia wont make you skinny, and more importantly, healthy !! It will come and go just like alli did a few years back ! I'll let you in on a little secret... It's the diet and exercise during the test group that gave people results they had... Not the pill :) "


Anyways, i don't know for sure if what she is saying is true... BUT, i can say from my personal experience, that this was a big waste of ... 5 bucks lol.

Have you ever got suckered into a diet scam ?? If so- which one ?
