Product and Place of the Week

A new segment in my blog where I want to promote places and products that have made my life better, and to share with others!


PRODUCT OF THE WEEK - BEROCCA

http://www.berocca.co.uk/

Since having glandular fever last year, I have struggle with getting my energy back. My doctor recommended trying it as a cheaper alternative to xango ($60 a bottle) and health food store alternatives after her own daughter suffered the same symptoms. Now after taking BEROCCA for now about 6 weeks, I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that I have more energy and am no longer always feeling lethargic. Taken in the morning, as a pinky tablet in water - it gives me a boost. People have even noticed my increase in energy :) Well done Berocca!


PLACE OF THE WEEK - DAVIS TRADING - PETONE

Address: 20 Te Puni Street, Petone

Specialist: Bulk Foods

Although many people know about this place, I recently discovered it. Basically a bulk Asian Supermarket, its full of all sorts of great things. I picked up a giant bag of Jasmine tea - just like the tea you get at the restaurants. Plus also managed to get rice bowls, sauce dishes, and a tea pot. Even cuter were sample teas in mini caddies (awwww). My flatmate Lianne once bought sticky buns with red bean in them. I went for the BBQ pork ones, but was slightly disappointed as it was just flavoured, no hidden BBQ pork inside.

Anyway great place, very cheap, and a lot of variety! Lots of fun to be had in there!

    You are sounding very domesticated... Accumulating all these possessions, soon you will need your own house to put it all in!

    I have never tried Berocca. Maybe I should.

    Matt got up at 7.30 today (on a Saturday).... and I was looking rough. I made him a muffin split (stuck it in the toaster, took it out, slathered some honey on it and put it in his hand as he walked out the door).

    So I was up REALLY early, and yet I STILL managed to be late to meet Ange and Cass for shoppin :) But that was mainly cause I stopped by the Insidious Fix sale and got carried away..... Knitwear! Yay!

    I like Hairy Lemon. It's kind of like Berocca 'cept tastes nicer (in my opinion anyway).

    You can only buy it at the chemist, it's choice as.
