How are you doing on this lovely day? For the last two weeks, I have had the pleasure of learning and experimenting with mint leaves. Initially, I bought a mint plant to support my mojito cravings, but it soon became the source of my mint tea. While I have been drinking mint tea for a…

A Celery Detox
Alright folks, I am back on my grind! And when I say grind I mean my pepper grinder. Honestly, is there anything better than the smell of fresh ground pepper? You don’t have to answer me. Hmmm, now that I think about it the smell of garlic and onion frying in butter is pretty amazing…
Sumac Tea Detox
Sumac is easily becoming one of my favorite spices to use. It has a very rich aroma and it just tastes so gosh darn delicious. I love the fact that it tastes like lemonade and can be sweeten with honey. Sumac has its roots in Asia, Northern Africa, and The Middle East. You actually may…
A Spicy Lemon Shot Detox
It’s Sunday (or it should have been when I was supposed to post this) and for the life of me, I feel dead inside. I like detoxes, wait… Is that too much of a jump? I mean my head goes all over the place so bear with me here. It’s be a rough weekend and…
A Special Blend Detox
You may or may not be used to me writing detoxes each Sunday. If that’s the case, I would like to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Joy and I love to cook, write poems, and do silly things. I am too hyperactive for my age and that’s okay, I am only hyperactive when my…
Boiled Turmeric Detox

I have a love-hate relationship with turmeric. I love the smell but having it raw has made me question my existence. That was…
A Spicy Blueberry Detox
Hey, lovely people. How are you doing today? Are you up? Are you down? Well, I’m sideways. I feel crappy and cranky. I have been having a very painful weekend and that’s surprisingly okay. I know that some days, months, years will be just… Well beyond my belief of just how south a day can…
Jeera Tea Alternative Detox
It’s the beginning of a new week, so that means a new detox. You may have never heard of Jeera Tea, but I bet you have at least heard of cumin. They are the same, just called different names. Cumin is akin to a superfood. There has been a lot of studies in the previous…
Post Game Detox
It’s Super Bowl Sunday in the good old US. Now if you are asking me whether I watch it… No. I am not a real fan of American football, but I do know the rules and have family members that watch it religiously. I prefer my footballers like Neymar who gets hit by ghosts on…
My Apologies
It has been brought to my attention that a lot of the detoxes I have written about does not list the negative side effects. I have fixed this by adding a section that talks about negative side effects and possible medication interaction. I appreciate the fact that people are kind enough to tell me where…
