Big Money In Hospital Births

The other day, I watched a movie that I found to be an extreme eye-opener called The Business of Being Born. As its title suggests, birthing in this country is a BUSINESS. 
This movie is available via instant play on Netflix and for a whopping $6 on Amazon.com 
Remember Ricki Lake? She's in it! Check it out and let me know what you think. 

Speckled Pick! Tea Candy

I have a serious sweet tooth and I love green tea, so you can imagine my excitement when I ran across a bag of what's called Tea Candy by Bali's Best at Whole Foods this weekend.  With cane sugar, tapioca, tea extract, and natural green tea and lemon flavors as the top 5 ingredients, I definitely don't feel guilty about indulging.

I'll warn you, though-  I was expecting Werther's Original-colored candy (as pictured on the bag). To my surprise, I was greeted with this with this really ugly hunter green color. It was sort of freaky, but the candy is pretty tasty. You should give it a try :)

Miracle Liquid - Fish Oil

 
Carlson Labs The Very Finest FISH OIL
Speckled Rating: 5 out of 5 bananas


Fish oil, one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, prevents an overwhelming amount of diseases.  Among them are type II diabetes, depression, breast cancer, and ADHD. I'd honestly need an entire blog dedicated to fish oil to thoroughly cover its benefits.

I'll admit, fish oil doesn't taste the best- even in capsule form.   I probably tried 5+ products before I crossed this one from Carlson Labs.

It's pure liquid fish oil with added lemon to hide the fishy taste. It's great for you, and you can put it on or mix it in anything. It works wonders on salads and in smoothies.

The best pricing on the web that we've found for this product is iHerb.com. Snag a bottle for $28.
