First BB Cream For Skin, Then Hair...Now BB Tea?

You guys KNOW we love our BB (and CC) creams. They're great for a post-gym skin fix, not to mention just generally giving your face a well-nourished, even-toned glow. And then there was Pantene, who came out with BB cream for hair -- which blew our minds, but only in the best way possible.

Now, the BB craze has made it's way into our mouths -- in the form of tea. Launched by Kusmi, the chic French tea company, the loose-leaf BB Detox Tea is designed to make you get gorgeous, too. But does it really work, especially with a price tag of $20?

First of all, this is literally the most delicious tea I've had...ever. It's a mix of mate, grapefruit, green tea and rooibos (which I can never pronounce) that's light and refreshing and, yep, caffeinated, to give you a sweet buzz, too.

Kusmi says the combo of green tea and mate help de-puff your entire body, while green tea, dandelion and roobios fight off free radicals cause they're chockfull of antioxidants. Did I see that result immediately? Honestly, I'm too much of a strung out mess from grad school finals to tell.

But, I am sure about one thing. I look way better when I drink a ton of water and this stuff is a great way to hydrate without feeling like a fish. I brewed the stuff hot -- and iced  -- and wanted more every time. In fact, I wish I had a mug right now...

Snack Time: Magnolia Avocado Ice Cream

You know that cool, creamy texture after an avocado's been made into guac? Well, wait until you try avocado ice cream! This green treat my sound strange, but it's actually quite tasty -- practically mind-blowingly tasty, in fact. Magnolia Avocado Ice Cream by California based gourmet food company, Ramar Foods is an all-natural ice cream which contains only California pasture-raised dairy along with whole avocado puree.

One bite of the naturally silky-smooth sweet ice cream will make you feel like summer is already here, I could swear. But at just 220 calories per half cup, thankfully you can have way more than one bite. (Happy calories, anyone?) Plus, since avocado is listed as the third ingredient only behind milk and cream, it is safe to say that you'll be enjoying some of the more than 20 essential nutrients that this superfood provides -- all in the form of a sweet treat. We'll definitely have a bowl of that.

If avocado just isn't your thing, try one of Magnolia's other fun tropical ice cream flavors, including mango, coconut, lychee, Thai tea and purple yam. We'll take one of each, please.
