spicesThis time of the year marks long-awaited warmer temperatures, extended days, and the sweet smell of springtime. Now that Spring has finally arrived and we can kiss our cabin fever blues away, there's another fever we have to contend with — Spring fever!

Spring causes hormones to surge and our energy levels to burst from the seams, so why not add to the madness with a natural aphrodisiac — spices! We've already heard about the healing benefits associated with some spices like cardamom, but did you know that certain spices like ginseng and saffron are proven sexual performance boosters? According to a new scientific review from Canada's University of Guelph, these spices can act as natural aphrodisiacs and increase sexual arousal. Saffron risotto, anyone?

thinkOrganic Bars

I was in the airport recently and I stopped at one of those little stores to get some snacks for the trip.

I was in the airport recently and I stopped at one of those little stores to get some snacks for the trip. Among all the candy bars and gum, I saw thinkOrganic bars. When I looked at the ingredients, and saw dates and nuts, I had to give them a try.

As I was eating the Cashew Pecan bar, it reminded me a lot of LARABARS. While they taste pretty similar, the difference is that these thinkOrganic bars contain a few extra ingredients — pectin, and ascorbic acid — which I wasn't that psyched about.

I did like that the cashew and pecan pieces are a little bit bigger, but it made the date taste a little bit more prevalent. Eating these thinkOganic bars were just like taking a handful of nuts and a date and popping them in your mouth. The LARABARS, on the other hand, have a more unique flavor.

Fittingly Mad: Liquid Cocaine

Energy drinks have gained enormous popularity in the past few years despite the extremely high levels of sugar and caffeine found in almost any energy drink on the market.

Energy drinks have gained enormous popularity in the past few years despite the extremely high levels of sugar and caffeine found in almost any energy drink on the market.

The name energy leads you, the consumer, to believe you are drinking a good thing (maybe something that will help you excel in your work out) when you're not, and it could not be further from it. One can of energy drink tends to have 4 times the caffeine than a can of coke and about 7 teaspoons of sugar. The worst part is that since energy drinks are so hot right now, makers are just random companies (clothing manufacturers, motorcycle makers, etc) jumping on the bandwagon. One Las Vegas based producer even named their drink Cocaine: The Legal Alternative. Could it sound any more unhealthy? What's more? Energy drinks are not currently regulated in the United States so anyone and everyone can make and drink them.
