One of the ultimate superfoods is chaga mushroom (pakurikääpä). One way to use it, is to drink it as coffee or tea. The taste is quite mild, a bit mushroom-ish, and one teaspoonful for a cup is enough. 

Chaga mushrooms are parasitic fungi that are known to grow on birch trees. Finding these elusive mushrooms is not easy; it’s said that one in every 15,000 trees will have one of these mushrooms. Although they are not visually appealing by any means, their appearance can be easily overlooked on the account of all the benefits that these mushrooms have to offer. These mushrooms have been utilized as a folk far back as the 16th century, particularly in Europe. Today, it is most common for chaga mushrooms to be brewed into a beneficial tea that can be enjoyed regularly for the health benefits that it has to offer.

Chaga contains numerous B vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, minerals and enzymes. It is also one of the world's densest sources of pantothenic acid, and this vitamin is needed by adrenal glands as well as digestive organs. It also contains riboflavin and niacin in significant anounts. 

Have a nice cup of chaga!

Egoboost by Supermood

This Egoboost by Supermood is promising to make eyes wide open!

It's a Cinderella serum meaning that the effect lasts some hours but doesn't really improve the texture of skin. Perfect product to use when you need a bit of lifting.

How to use it?

Tap a small amount, app. 2 drops, on your upper lid towards your brows and also between the brows. You can first warm the serum in between your fingers. Don't apply it under your eyes.

What does it do?

- the serum kind of opens up the eyes

- gives a fresh look

- tightens up the delicate skin of the upper eye contour area

- it kind of gives a tight cling wrap for the upper lids 

(if you wear it without make-up and walk in the rain, it peels off...)

I like this product! So easy to apply and really freshens up the look.

ps. It contains chaga mushroom!

Supermood is a new Finnish range of products that includes topical, organic cosmetics and even edible beauty products such as raw chocolate with collagen. As most of the products are produced using “superfoods” and the beauty lines are separated by different moods -rather than skin types-, it was a great move to name the range Supermood.

The brand was launched in Autumn 2014 with the first product range, Egoboost, a powder containing chaga mushroom found in trees in arctic areas. “Chaga contains huge amounts of antioxidants and it has been used as a folk medicine for centuries. It boosts the immune system and evens out the skin tone. Chaga used in Supermood is hand collected from Finnish nature.”
