Bones Coffee Company Review

**Limited Edition Flavor, Red Velvet**

During today's Podcast, January 22, 2019, we all got to try Bones Coffee for the first time. Over the next few weeks we will be reviewing all of their flavors they provide, so stay tuned for those review's! Bones Coffee doesn't just offer coffee but they have their own apparel, hats, tote bags & mugs! They also have a reward program where you can earn money for future purchases!

This giveaway ends June 15, 2019 so you have plenty of time to enter! 

Their packaging is unique to each flavor. They all come with a different skeleton art piece & artwork on their packages. You can choose if you want ground coffee or whole bean & there is no price difference! How great is that?!! They even offer Barrel Aged Coffee! This company has it all!! They have different size bags you can purchase, 2oz samples, 4oz, 10oz & 16oz plus they have pods for a Keurig! I swear this company keeps getting better & better!

The Red Velvet flavored coffee has a skeleton cupid on the packaging. We received their 4oz bag. You are able to smell the flavor through the bag but right when you open it, it smells super sweet. Almost too sweet & too chocolatey. The flavor wasn't as sweet as it seemed, it's nicely roasted, smooth and flavorful! It tasted exactly like a red velvet cake! We would all definitely have it again, it was that good! You can tune into our Podcast, Episode #26, to hear our real time reactions to the coffee. The link will be down below!

Krispy Kreme New Flavors!!!

Krispy Kreme 

(Buy a dozen, get a dozen free & new flavors!)

 

Tonight, it is a rainy gloomy evening in Southern California. I thought I would stop by Krispy Kreme for a pick me up after a long day at work. The closest location to me is the one at the Outlets in Orange, CA. They currently have buy a dozen, get a dozen free promotion. They also have four new flavors, "The Chocolate Glaze Collection". The four doughnuts they offer are a chocolate glazed cake batter doughnut, chocolate glazed raspberry filled doughnut, double chocolate glazed kreme filled doughnut & a chocolate glazed oreo cookies and kreme doughnut. They're only selling them from January 14, 2019 - January 27, 2019. The only way you can get the buy a dozen, get a dozen free is if you sign up for their rewards program & if you're a new member. 

The free dozen you receive upon signing up for their reward program is a plain glazed box of doughnuts. YUMMM!!! They were hot & fresh when I received mine. Here's a tip, if their doughnut sign is lite up, that means they're hot & fresh... if their sign is not lite up, yours wont be as fresh as if it were to come straight out of the fryer. The doughnuts I bought were mainly chocolate sprinkled, plain chocolate, a maple & sugar doughnut. 

I got three out of their four limited time flavors, the chocolate glazed cake batter doughnut, double chocolate glazed kreme filled doughnut & a chocolate glazed oreo cookies and kreme doughnut. They ran out of their raspberry filled one, which was fine with me. Im not a huge raspberry fan! 

They are all filled with different types of kreme fillings. They were all good, but would I order them again... probably not. MAYBE the oreo one. maybe... The chocolate glazed cake batter doughnut is super sweet, they cover the doughnut with original glaze and then chocolate glaze on top of that. Its too sugary for me. Their double chocolate glazed doughnut is okay, it taste mediocre to me. Its not dark chocolate or double chocolate at all in my opinion. The oreo one was my favorite out of the three I tried. It had the best chocolate flavor & had oreo crumbles on top. If you haven't tried these yet & are debating on it, honestly a regular doughnut with chocolate glaze taste more chocolatey than these three doughnuts, just my opinion.

Mochi Ice Cream Review

Tonight I tried more mochi ice cream flavors. I have only tried the Double Chocolate Chip & Vanilla flavor by my/mo. I got another flavor of theirs, Sweet Mango, and I also got a new mochi ice cream company, Imuraya. I see my/mo everywhere, in Target, Walmart, Ralphs etc but this is the first time I have seen the mochi ice cream by Imuraya, which I got at Costco.

My/Mo mochi ice cream typically comes in a box with 6 pieces. They're 110 calories & they offer non-dairy and vegan options as well, Salted Caramel, Vanilla, Strawberry & Chocolate. This company also offer's ice cream with mochi bits. So if you don't like the mochi ice cream or if its too messy to eat, you can get a tub of their ice cream with small mochi bits inside. The flavors of mochi bit ice cream they offer are Salted Caramel, Green Tea, Mango, Strawberry & Chocolate. 

Imuraya offers mochi, azuki bars, ujikintoki bars & yawamochi ice. This is the first time I have seen this company, the flavors I received in my purchase are Red Bean, Green Tea & Black Sesame, which are all common flavors/items in the Asian culture. The other flavors this company offers are Chocolate Raspberry, Matcha, Mango, Strawberry, Chocolate, Yuzu Citrus & Coffee. Their Azuki & Ujikinotki Bars are a traditional Japanese frozen dessert bar. Their Yawamochi Ice is a three layered frozen dessert.  

Both companies provide six pieces of mochi ice cream per flavor. I did notice that the mochi ice cream from My/Mo was a little bit bigger than Imuraya. They both had really chewy & fresh tasting products. All of the ice cream inside all mochi were strong and flavorful, standing true to their flavor labeled on their box. The Green Tea ice cream was the smoothest to me. The Red Bean ice cream reminded me of mooncakes & it was unique for it to have little bits of red bean inside the ice cream. Black Sesame was good but I would prefer all the other flavors before I would try this flavor again, it was very potent & had a "in your face" flavor. The Sweet Mango ice cream was very good, it wasn't too sweet or over powering with flavor. Favorite to least favorite would be Green Tea, Mango, Red Bean & then Black Sesame. I cant wait to find more mochi ice cream's in my local supermarket's & convenient stores! If you haven't tried mochi ice cream yet, you are missing out! Leave a comment below about your favorite mochi ice cream flavor & what flavors I should try next!

DC Vertigo "Second Coming"

JESUS CHRIST 

Really people???

DC Vertigo

Presents

"Second Coming"

Written 

by 

Mark Russell

Illustrated 

by

Richard Pace

Well, if you haven't herd yet. Mark Russell from DC Vertigo is in the works on making a new comic book series. And guess who the main superhero is going to be. YES!!! None other then Jesus Christ. But, wait a minute. He has a side kick named "Sun-Man" fighting along side with our Messiah and Savior.

Now, Mark and his team haven't really released that much information on the story.  So...I'm going to have to take a wild guess on this one. Let me think... Hmmmmm…I got it!!!!

The timeline would of course probably take place in our modern day era. The seals have been opened. The rapture has happened.  Demons and devils are effecting the people all over the world. Shit goes down as it is written in the Scriptures of the Bible. And "Sun-Man" can't handle it all. He needs another superhero to fight against the forces of evil. Wait a minute!!! There is a bright light piercing through the clouds. There's an object coming straight down at high fast speed. You can hear the crack of the sonic boom in the air. Is that a bird, is it a plane. No! it's "Jesus Christ" Ok. I am going to stop my self here. Now, to come to think of it. This comic book would be based on "Revelation". I can see them truly making a big o fiasco on the Apocalypse.

I can already see the mess that lies ahead for this comic book. Everyone is a critic. And for sure those who are hard core believers in Christ. They are automatically going to call this a "Blasphemy". Given that there shall be no idols to worship but our Sovereign God. CONTROVERSY!!!! For me I believe in my savior Yeshua hamashiach (Jesus Christ). But, honestly you won't see me starting an up roar with this. I think it's funny. More than anything. I see it as a positive effect. Yeah there probably going to mess it up really bad or maybe not. Mark's team might stay close to the scriptures. We're just going to have to wait for its release in March 2019. 

Let me know what you think about Jesus Christ hitting the DC world? As well as what would be the purpose of this mysterious "Sun-Man"? What kind of powers would Jesus have? Do they have vehicles or angels fighting with them? Would they make a future DC movie out of this comic book series???

Go ahead and share you thoughts. What do you have in mind in all of this???

Brew Dr. Kombucha Review

Brew Dr. Kombucha

Tonight I tried two new Kombucha's from a new company that I haven't tried yet. They have many flavors & a wide range of selection in your local convenient stores, grocery stores etc. You can basically get Kombucha anywhere now, even the 99 cent store! Kombucha has been popular these past few years, but the first recorded use of Kombucha comes from China! All the way back in 221 BC during the Tsin Dynasty. They referred to it as "The Tea of Immortality". Kombucha faded away throughout the years and then regained popularity in the 1960s due to shortage of tea and sugar supplies. It finally gained popularity in domestic markets in the 1990s. 

Kombucha has so many health benefits, such as helping your digestive system, weight loss & inflammation. It has organic acids, enzymes and live probiotics. The live probiotics in this particular drink are healthy bacteria's. It is fermented tea mixed with different herbs, fruit and spices. It also has a little carbonation & a very small trace of alcohol. Alcohol content of this beverage can be less than 0.5%. The Kombucha companies that I see regularly around my area are Kevita, GT'S, Health Ade, Humm, Suja, Honest & now Brew Dr. I tried two of Brew Dr. Kombucha's tonight, Clear Mind & Citrus Hops.

Clear Mind, it is packaged with a light blue label & bottle cap. Their bottles have a "classy" look to them. It has 14 FL OZ (414 ML) of Kombucha in this bottle & only has 25 calories! It is 100%  raw, non gmo & gluten free. The ingredients in "Clear Mind" are brewed tea, organic cane sugar & live kombucha. It has a Organic Green Tea base with rosemary, organic peppermint, organic sage & organic dandelion root. I didn't even know that dandelions could be eaten! It has a very subtle taste, all the flavors mix well with each other surprisingly. I would definitely recommend this flavor to new Kombucha drinkers!

The second drink I tried from Brew Dr. is "Citrus Hops". This also has 14 FL OZ (414 ML) & 25 calories! This flavor is certified B, gluten free, non gmo & 100% raw. The ingredients in "Citrus Hops" are brewed tea, organic cane sugar & live Kombucha. It has a Organic White Tea base with organic hops, organic dried oranges & organic coriander. This one is more potent, it kind of has a sour taste to it & you can definitely taste the hops in this drink. But remember it is nonalcoholic or barely contains any alcohol at all. Most bottles will include a approx. percentage of alcohol or some companies extract all the alcohol in Kombucha. I will be buying this flavor more often! Love them hops!

Next time you go grocery shopping or even a quick trip to Target, try a Kombucha! You never know, you may end up liking it & as a plus, it's really healthy for you! Let us know in the comments below what your favorite brand/flavors are & if you do get to try these two flavor's I tried tonight! I also will be uploading a video on our YouTube Channel doing a review on the products, be sure to check that out too!

The Roll Ice Cream Shop

The Roll Ice Cream Shop

Brea, California

This new trend of ice cream has been popping up everywhere lately in orange county! I figured I would go give it a try and see what all the hype is about. First and foremost it originated from Thailand, who knew?! It has now become a global phenomenon! This style of ice cream is known as stir-fried ice cream/rolled ice cream. They make it on an ice pan that gets cooled down to -20 degrees. It is a delicious treat, rain or shine. 

This particular location that I visited is in the Brea Mall, in Brea California. Its on the left hand side right when you walk into the food court main doors, next to Sbarro & Genghis Khan. Their menu is easy to comprehend and gives you the three types of ice cream styles that are served at their location. Rolled ice cream, ice cream burritos and even ice cream tacos! Their prices are a bit pricey for ice cream, but worth it! You can get any ice cream for $8 and get unlimited toppings. Who wouldn't want unlimited toppings when it comes to ice cream!

 They have 14 combinations already put together on their menu or you can pick out your own flavors. The plain rolled ice cream comes with 7 mini rolled ice creams in a bowl. You can add as many toppings as you'd like too! The burrito ice cream has a rolled ice cream in the middle of a cotton candy outside coating, acting as the tortilla of this burrito. The ice cream tacos, they have tons of different colored waffle taco shells to choose from! 

The three ice creams I tried was a chocolate chip rolled ice cream, strawberry & fruit loops cotton candy burrito (with strawberry sauce in the middle) and a Camper (one of their menu flavors). Camper is basically a smores ice cream flavor, it has crushed kit-kats, graham cracker, chocolate sauce and even roasted marshmallows on top! 

All in all The Roll Ice Cream Shop is worth the stop.  Give it a try! And let me know what you got? Drop me a comment!!!

Here's their Facebook link "The Roll Ice Cream Shop" Check it out!

Old Blood

"OLD BLOOD"

   Where to begin.  "Old Blood" has this captivating sound that pulls you in to there world.  The best way I can explain this through a scenario.
Imagine your self having a tuff day. You found out you girlfriend cheating on you or you just realized your work is just holding you back from your future you. Not getting anywhere in life. So, you decide to head out to Downtown to grab a drink and try to relax from your daily headaches. You are passing by different bars on the main street. And you hear faint music coming from one of these places. As you are approaching the song that is playing has already got you hooked. Right when you walk into the joint. Here's is this mellow voice that pulls you in. Giving no time to think. As you look around you can tell the crowd has already been hypnotized. You find your self a seat. Waitress walk up to you to bring you a drink. And damn! You say to your self "this is bad is bad ass!!!" Smooth riffs, dark haunting tones, hypnotizing singer, lost in a high spiraling with the bands Soul. My day is not that bad anymore. You find your-self staying for the entire set. And you just realized you haven't even taken your first sip of you drink.

Here is a review from Metal Assault on their most recent single "Enjoy. The Devil"
They have there music video up on YouTube. Check it out!!!

Old Blood

Enjoy. The Devil (single)

Wright Records / Sony Music Entertainment / The Orchard

18 October 2018

Following the success of their 2016 self-titled debut full-length which received unanimous praise and was described by Rolling Stone as "Amy Winehouse jamming with Kyuss at a desert LSD party", Los Angeles based occult psychedelic rock quintet OLD BLOOD has signed to Wright Records / Sony Music Entertainment / The Orchard and released their new single, "Enjoy. The Devil", with a stunning music video to boot.

Known and adored for their mesmerizing tunes and spellbinding live performances, Old Blood, so far, has succeeded in accomplishing something that most other bands often find themselves falling short of, that is, capturing their aura as live performers onto their studio recordings. The debut LP was the band's arrival onto the scene, and "Enjoy. The Devil" proves that they are here to stay, with their distinct brand of "Acid Doom".

"Enjoy. The Devil" is available for purchase and streaming on all digital platforms. T-shirts of the single's cover design, and remaining copies of the 2016 self-titled album on four multi-colored vinyl variations, are available through the band's official web store.

The 2016 self-titled debut full-length can be streamed in full on the band's official website.

What the press is saying about Old Blood:

"Sounds Like: Amy Winehouse jamming with Kyuss at a desert LSD party." - Rolling Stone

"Old Blood Doom!!!!!! A new genre is born!" - Doom Charts

" ... a lovely dose of melancholy, weight and psychedelia" - Doomed and Stoned

Old Blood is:

C. Gunner - Guitar

Octopus - Bass

Feathers - Vocals

Diesel - Drums

Stone - Keyboards
