Best Headache/Pain Reliever - Peppermint Halo from Saje

I'm not a big fan of popping advil or any of that pain medication. Nothing wrong with it but personally unless I had a fever I never really took Tylenol or Advil. Here comes a healthy alternative remedy : Saje's Peppermint Halo!
I do occasionally get the headache and cramps/stomach aches and realized that this peppermint oil does the trick! And not to mention I love the scent.

Saje Peppermint Halo Wand

I purchased this Peppermint Halo which as a mix of rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint and a few other essential oils. I love how versatile this is, and everyone i've showed this too loves it as well!
Saje has this little concoction in a roll on form which makes it very easy to apply and easy to refill!
Instant relief from any pain or discomfort. I roll it on to any sore muscles, roll it on my sore throat, roll it on my headache, roll it on when i have stomach aches or cramps, roll it on when i feel hung over!
i love it! Its around $25 CAD for a roll on.

The only downside to this is that the smell is pretty powerful and sometimes I feel like i can't use it because the peppermint smell might bother others since its so strong. I love peppermint/eucalyptus scents, that cooling medically smell is comfort to me. But when you put it on, people know you put it on and some people just don't like that scent. So if i'm at work all day I don't or put very little on.

I think when I run out i'll try just regular peppermint and see if its different from the mix that saje offers.

Love this. Great alternative to Advil/Asprin.

Yum Yum Korean Chicken & BBQ Cuisine, Airdrie, Alberta

Yum Yum Chicken lives up to its name, I am addicted to their chicken.
I've heard from a few family members that the chicken there is amazing, the skin beats kfc skin (Say whaaa? I find that hard to believe, nothing beats KFC skin) and with the raving reviews on Urbanspoon my next trip to Calgary, I decided I had to stop by in Airdrie to try out this yum yum chicken.

I went in around 6pm on Wednesday night and only a couple guys were sitting down waiting for their food. The cashier worker guy was pretty helpful and very patient with us trying to decide on which chicken we wanted to try. We tried the Spicy Fried Chicken, Shallot Chicken and Yum Yum Chicken. My favorite was the Shallot Chicken, it has a little spice to it as well. On all the Chicken, the skin was crispy, crunchy, delicious. 

The Yum yum chicken is lathered in their kind of sweet and sour sauce and then deep fried again. Spicy fried Chicken was spicy but not overly where I want to drown myself in milk.
I had extra of the Shallot chicken and bought it home, I was worried that the steam would ruin the crispy outside or when I microwaved it the crispyness would become soggy. But surprisingly it held up for two days in the fridge and through the microwave. The skin was still crispy, the shallotty spice was still preserved into the chicken. It was delicious as the first day i got it fresh, even a little better since I could taste more of the spice.

Price is reasonable, around $10 for a 2 piece meal, fries and a drink.. basically the same price as KFC. I ordered a small order of fries and it was a very generous portion!

Only downside of this place is that the to go containers, we ordered a half order to go and it was a generous size but it didn't fit into the little box they provided. There should be bigger to go boxes that cover the chicken adequately.     
I love this place, Yum Yum chicken lives up to its name and I will be making more stops here in the future. KFC you have some competition.
