Health and Beauty Coupons

No comments »

Although I can’t make use of these coupons myself because I’m in the UK, I thought I would compile a few details of special discounts you can get with Coupon Chief. Just remember to follow the instructions on the site properly because if you don’t then you won’t receive your discount.

Botanic Choice coupons have a number of special discount offers including $10 off your order if you spend $20 or $50 off if you spend $150. They have a massive range of health and beauty products including Greet Tea, Digestive Aids and Aromatherapy.

Amazon deals – Save $10 when you spend $49 on organic beauty products such as Kiss My Face and Toms of Maine. I always like to use as many natural products as possible because I believe they are healthier for the body as well as the planet.

Mex Grocer codes – If you like to be experimental in the kitchen MexGrocer have loads of Mexican foods to try out. They’re currently offering 20% off if you spend more than $25. They also have kitchen utensils such as Tamales and La Cocinera so that your Mexican dishes are truly authentic.

 

Why Are Americans So Greedy?

When my Mum and Dad were on a Hawaiian cruise a few years ago they were repulsed by the amount of gluttony displayed by the American passengers. Instead of people just putting what they could eat on the plate, they cram everything on as if it were their last meal before they died. What was really disgusting was that half of it ended up being thrown out.

Why Do They Act Like This?

Why can’t they just help themselves to what they know they can eat instead of being so wasteful? Do they not have the self-control just to eat sausage and eggs one day and bacon and beans the next?

My old dog used to live for food and would sometimes escape to raid the bins behind restaurants and takeaways. She would eat so much she had to be carried home. At least she had an excuse! She was a stray found by my Gran begging for food outside a butcher shop. Even although we gave her regular meals still had the fear of not knowing when her next meal would be.

Difference Between Americans and Europeans

Although things are far from perfect here, whenever I’ve been on holiday in Europe people tend to just put on their plate what they can eat. If they are still hungry they’ll go up for seconds or even thirds (or fourths).

If white Americans are descended from Europeans why is there such a gap in attitudes to food? I know that Burger King and MacDonalds are big business here too but what I’m talking about is the “eyes bigger than your stomach” syndrome. Although I’ve seen people act like pigs at these “all you can eat” buffets, they seem to be in the minority compared to in America.

On a side note, I find it really funny how people on the cruise seemed to think that eating low-fat yoghurt, low calorie maple syrup and diet cola would somehow improve their diet. Talk about being delusional!

Question: Do all Americans act like this or is it just people on Cruise ships?
