Choose a lollipop not a piece of cake!



Dessert is probably about my favorite thing, I love having a yummy sweet treat at the end of the day. Saying I have a sweet tooth is a bit of an understatement! I love sweets and that’s my problem, trying to live a healthy lifestyle is so hard because you don’t want to give up the things you love. Being disciplined is difficult but I know I have to in order to be healthier and take better care of my body.

They are just so good though, I know I shouldn’t but I really want to indulge. Just a small taste of a Banana split, cherry cheesecake, Strawberry shortcake, or a big piece of chocolate cake. Can you say yummy? If I could eat like this all day every day I would, I have to be able to say no though. Be strong, take initiative and be responsible. This isn’t just saying no to sweets, this is making a better decision for my health that will effects my life. Talking about your health can sound scary, every decision you make on what you eat affects you, not only in your weight but in the long term. Not eating well and having too many sweets can cause health problems. If only I could still have the great sweet taste with less calories, total fat, sodium, carbs, and sugar.

Wait maybe there is, maybe I can still enjoy these amazing foods without consuming so many calories and other bad thing. What about a Lollipop. Not just any lollipop, I want one that really taste like the creamsicle that I love, and reminds me of a delicious banana split. How can I get both? Maybe I can with an Original Gourmet Lollipop. They have the most amazing Cream swirl collection with so many flavors of delicious desserts. They have flavors like cotton candy, strawberry shortcake, cherry cheesecake, birthday cake, and caramel apples. I could go on and on and on.

 Now if you compare an Original Gourmet Lollipop which is surprisingly a healthier choice to an actual piece of cherry cheesecake, it is a huge difference. I have provided a chart, just look at the difference!

I can’t even believe how easy the decision is, I am still able to enjoy the sweet taste of my favorite desserts without the guilt and all those extra calories. Grab a lollipop, make a better choice, I know it’s hard but trust me you won’t regret it! The taste from an Original Gourmet Lollipop may even taste better. They are so creamy, distinctive in flavor, long lasting. This is like a dream come true, don’t hold back and don’t over think it. You can do it, pick up a lollipop and enjoy it instead of a high calorie dessert. I know I am.

How Lollipops Can Improve Your Study Habits

Image
Many people are quick to say that Candy does not improve your work habits. But luckily for all the candy lovers out there I’m going to challenge this belief and tell you the 5 ways in which candy can actually help you concentrate and even improve your work habits. 1. Energy: There no way to avoid the last minute pile of work that you promised yourself you would finish “tomorrow”.   Between those cat videos on YouTube and trying to “Keep up with the Kardashians”, you’ve accidentally dug yourself into a hole of work that you need to be out of by 8am sharp. Luckily for you, we have an answer! Grab a Lollipop and start sucking away! The sugar in the Lollipop will keep you awake long enough to finish your pile of work as well as be a reward for finally getting it done. Better late than never! 2. Fidgeting: Sucking on a lollipop is a great way to stay focused during a meeting or in class if your one of those people who has to constantly be fidgeting with something in order t...

Share A Lollipop with a Friend!

Image
Sharing is caring, that’s what my parents always said. Remembering those little polite things teacher and parents would constantly enforce in our lives. How doing one nice thing for someone else would show how much you care. Funny how simple it used to be. Being a kid and making friends was so easy. All you had to do was share and say hi and it was like you had been friends your entire life. Sometimes I wish it was that easy now. If all I had to do was share a cute little lollipop to get people to be my friend, I would have a hundred friends. These little life-lessons that you learn as a child seem so far fetch now but are they really? Sometimes we over look those simple gesture. We now think wow that was so easy, wish things could be this easy now. Well maybe they can be. Who said kindness was overrated. I like to still believe that if I left my house right now and went to someone with a cute little lollipop that maybe I would make a new friend. All you read and hear about is all th...
