Trying Japan's Vitamin Drinks

Panda eyes--they are my most distinctive feature recently. For whatever reason, I have been extremely exhausted lately. It's not like I am lacking sleep or anything, I get at least six hours a night. Either way, I know I have to find a solution. And I think/hope I have. 

After talking with my boyfriend, and asking for his recommendations, he lightly suggested that I tried Japan’s vitamin drinks. I was a bit against it because it seems like a waste of money to me, but they seem very popular among Japanese people, so I thought I would give it a shot. I bought six of these Chocola BB drinks to try. They are supposed to be good for your skin, too! I'm crossing my fingers!

They are easy to drink and not a lot of calories, but I hate the bottles because they are a pain to throw away. 

I am still in the experimental phase, but I think it is working. To be fair, “correlation does not mean causation”, but I am hoping in this case it does. It is highly possible that I have not been consuming all of the nutrients that I need, and that might be why I am tired lately. Well, that and the fact that I have been having a bit of the ALT blues. Either way, this week has been an improvement.

The vitamin drinks are not the only things I have been doing though, I have been trying to watch what I eat, get more sleep, and wear my glasses again. One, or more likely, a combination of these things are starting to make me feel better and I am super grateful.

If you decide you want to try these drinks out, I suggest you do some research or ask for your friends’ suggestions, because there are so many choices! I had a hard time, so I just ended up asking the store employee for her recommendation. She gave me two of her recommendations and even opened them up to let me try them. Honestly, I don’t know how long I will continue drinking them because of the price. I don’t remember exactly how much it was, but a pack of three was around 800 yen. I do think these will be super helpful in the winter season whenever I catch a cold.

What do you think of these vitamin drinks? Are the not as great as they are cracked up to be? Which one is your favorite?
