The Pros and Cons of Coffee & Caffeine

Kicking the Coffee Habit

With the passing of Valentine’s Day and lovers everywhere having just indulged in Cacao of the Now’s “Sexual Chocolate,” I’m sure those whose desires were fed on Sunday, found themselves seeking some “mud” on Monday.

I didn’t celebrate, but instead had a lovely post V-Day coffee date at Urth Café. Although, in lieu of coffee, I had a chai latte, which I highly recommend for the wonderful flavors and beautiful latte art. How DO they do that?

Lady Ga-Ga's Diet (The Singer's Diet)

Lose weight by singing for your sustenance!

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti…. Tea, it’s one of the few foods/beverages recommended to actually help when you sing. Otherwise, vocal experts recommend avoiding dairy products, caffeine, salty foods, foods that cause gas or bloating, alcohol, stimulants, antihistamines and decongestants. Basically, anything that will dry you out, make you belch or cause phlegm. Yea, I know, these aren’t pleasant topics but they are important to a performer who wants to avoid any embarrassing incidents.
