Ever heard of Monta Vida?

Monta Vida is a coffee distributed solely online, generated from the company 5Linx! I am writing this review because I wanted to unleash the fabulous perks of this simple coffee. No one really knows what it is, or what it does, but this new product is the reason behind the success for my healthy living pledge for 2014. 
 
 
As most of my friends and family know, I am truly a dumpster when it comes to food. I was always constantly eating, never once thinking about the consequences of the way I ate. Not only was I gaining weight, but I was having health problems due to my terrible diet. I ordered my Skinnny Me Tea Package about two weeks ago, so I wanted to try something in-between to get me kick started on my goal to a healthier lifestyle. I have been drinking this coffee for a week, and literally I can see the difference in my body and energy levels. Not only are the benefits significant, but it also tastes great! I am not a typical coffee drinker because frankly I think its disgusting. However I gave this a try because I heard about its health affects, and learned that it didn't even really taste like coffee. More like a coffee and hot cocoa blend. Mouthwatering.
Oh! Did I mention you can order this coffee pure blend either in the bag, or in the form of K-cups!!!!

Here are some facts about MCT oil, and Ramon seeds:
 
MCT Oil
MCT (medium chain triglyceride) oil improves the body's absorption and use of Vitamin E, calcium and magnesium. It also may assist you in maintaining a healthy weight. How so? MCTs are a special class of healthy fats that act like a carbohydrate, so it's processed by the body immediately instead of storing it, keeping your energy up.
 
 
Ramon Seeds
Ramon seeds contain important (essential) nutrients like protein, fiber and minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and selenium). These healthful seeds also contain a series of powerful antioxidants, as well as vitamins A, B, C and E, which are essential in maintaining normal metabolism.

Monday Morning Motivation. #DESTINY

We are all searching for some amazing destiny, resembling the lives of some character or idol. We crave a moment in which we will not only face, but overcome a challenge gloriously, rise to the occasion to forever change life as we know it. Sadly, not everyone's destiny is this exciting; but they are all perfect. We all have a purpose. Preparing yourself to achieve this purpose is your only job in life. This was the way of life for the samurai, who would start training by the tender age of 5. They devoted every moment of their life to achieving their destiny. Like many of our ancestor they found something they were willing to die for and lived to preserve it, welcoming death not as the end to their life but as the fulfillment of their destiny.
 
We often reflect on the lives of our ancestors and label their way of living as dumb or crazy without even attempting to understand their reasoning. It is apparent, to those who investigate the lives of our ancestors, that they simply had a different meaning for existence; one more connected to nature and the world around them. They understood the fluidity the world and how deeply every living thing was connected and intertwined. That connection still remains in us. It is our intelligence, our spark.
 
 Love it, for it is your soul and it is beautiful. And it is your beautiful soul that will lead you to your destiny.
 
Your destiny could simply be an event in another person's life, but it is your destiny; be proud of it. Events are important. The interactions of life happen in small factions, we simply put more thought into some of them and relate certain images to others, the current conception of "events” or "occurrences". It is the culmination of these events that create our world. In order for the world to sustain itself you must achieve your destiny. If it lies in love then give your love the world and if you can’t give them the world then make one. Build them a waterfall to kiss under; it doesn’t have to be real or even expensive, it just has to be beautiful. If it lies in sports then give it your heart; work yourself to exhaustion just to get up and do it the next day. Let your blood sweat and tears act as the rain for your success, enriching your intensity and focus as they fall to the field. If it lies in music, sing until your lungs are exhausted, empty and over used. Create a sound that touches the soul and is built from the depths of your own soul. Regardless of what it is, find what is beautiful in your life, the thing you would give your life for, and commit yourself to it. Create an event, something that is beautiful and that inspires others to create an event for themselves. It is this beauty that you will see in your last minutes and it will be perfect.
 
So give life to life; it is your destiny.
 
XOXO
