In Search Of Made In The USA : Day 1

/ ludlumdrive / Leave a comment

It was Memorial Day weekend and sales, sales, sales everywhere. So, what a girl to do other then go shopping.

I looked through both designer and non designer garments but as I was picking through each, something snapped. I was hit by lightning.

It suddenly down on me that every piece of cloth I was touching, was “not born here”, they were all “foreigner”, of a different nationality. I could not find one piece made in… Hawaii or Alaska or Puerto Rico or Virgin Islands. They were all confectionated somewhere else.

This is my quest to find a garment somewhere, somehow Made In The USA. Hopefully, it will be a easy search. Hopefully, I will find it tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be able to find it before year’s end. I am going on a scavenger hunt for that one garment. And the search begins!

Feeling stressed? Make green tea your beverage of choice or take an extract. In Japan, a study of more than 42,000 people found that drinking five cups of green tea daily reduces the chances of mental stress by 20 percent, compared to drinking less than one daily cup.

A glass or two of red wine per day is proven to have heart-healthy benefits. Recent studies suggest that the consumption of red wine, as part of Mediterranean diet (high in monounsaturated fats, fish, and cereal grains), may help protect against the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease, and it may even reduce the risk of lung cancer. Red wine’s health benefits are due to its flavonoids, which enrich blood plasma with antioxidants. In fact, research reveals that red wine actually increases the blood’s capacity for antioxidants.

To get the most out of your wine, choose organic.

Drink responsibly, it will do your body and mind good!
