chiahuib68-Facial Mask

Near the end of October, my Poreishi Mushroom Reishi Facial Masks arrived in the mail.  The very first thought that came to me was:  Great!  Right on time for Halloween.

Unlike usual facial masks, this facial mask is not white, not gray.  It’s BROWN -- Very brownish brown.

I hesitated for quite a while wondering if I should put this thing on my face, since it’s actually not a very lovely color.  Would it stain my face brown?

Finally, after a couple of days, I gathered up my courage and gave it a try.

Just like I imaged—I looked like an UngaBunga: somewhat an ugly version of an UngaBunga.  Of course my son got a good laugh from me wearing this mask.

Despite the not very pretty look, I actually like the feeling of this mask on my face.  It doesn’t have any perfume in it, and I like that a lot.  Reishi itself doesn’t have much smell.  It smells somewhat like wood, the good kind of wood, very pleasant.  

The mask has just the right amount of moisture in it, so it’s not messy at all when taking it out of package.   The material of the mask is different than other masks—it’s stiffer which makes it easier to handle.  I have very sensitive skin, and this mask did not irritate me even a bit.  Thank goodness!

I removed the mask after 20 minutes just like the directions said.  The residue rinsed off very easily, and I do feel my skin looks brighter and feels smoother.   No kidding!

Later, I read some more information about Reishi.   I found out that, actually, in ancient times people believed Reishi could prolong human life and that if you took enough you could even become immortal.   Ancient people believed whatever they liked to believe, but after the first try of this mask, I believe it’ll really do this anti-aging job well.

I’m thinking next time I’m going to wear it when taking a hot bath.  My face can probably soak in more nutrients with hot steam.  When I am done with my face, I’ll just drop the mask in the tub and… Voila!  It’s my body’s turn to enjoy Reishi.  

What a brilliant idea such a frugal wife comes up with to make the best use of this precious Reishi facial mask.  What can I say?  It’s Reishi power!

jacob111 -tea

Should one choose to believe that good things come in small package, there would not be any disappointment with this little bag of Reishi. 

While the packaging itself is hardly a breakthrough in design with description a torture to read, the content speaks for itself quite differently.  However banal, from the point of utilitarian aspect, , besides user friendly, the translucent cubical pack clearly displays the ingredients in full confidence, making sure one sees what dripping down the throat.  As goodies eventually leak out into the brew, it resembles more like a consomme’ instead of tea-like mix.

Taste, though mostly subjective and hard to speak for everyone, but as long as one enjoys the musky organic aroma of wild mushroom and happy with the unique sting of bitter gourd, one should be at home with this product, and I for instance, find it quite enticing. 

Once tearing open the package, a faint scent of fresh mushroom drifts out; shaking the bag a couple of times, out permeates an aroma of earthy freshness of a forest after rainfall.  As this is the first time trying out this herbal mix, I hardly know what to expect.  After steeping in hot water for about three minutes, the first taste is rather startling.  Besides having an unmistakable scent of mushroom, it bites me with a subdue bitterness similar to quinine.  A couple of more sips afterwards and as taste begins to sink in, the bitterness turns quite pleasing, and soon afterwards it leaves an aftertaste like licorice on the taste buds. Plain cool.

Perhaps like hot chili, it takes some nerve to get used to, but once acquiring the sting, to do without it would be difficult.  Indeed, it is too early to vouch for its pharmacological effect, yet I am confidence it would out rank any mouthwash especially after a heavy and spicy dinner, because the brew leaves the mouth a very soothing odor and whispering close to my partner’s ear would raise no fear of bad breath.  On the serious side, I am a caffeine addict, but it suits me well replacing a shot of coffee with this bag of Reishi during the late afternoon.  No hang- over side effect or agitation from missing a dose of caffeine in this case.

Here again, this little package reminds me of an old Chinese adage, “where bitterness ends, sweetness takes over”.  Granted true, is it a mere coincidence the West also has an oxymoron known as “bitterly-sweet”; interesting thing happens where East meets West.  Perhaps, with this Reishi, our forefathers’ wisdom is put to test again in this silicon age.

jacob111 -toothpaste

I have yet to come across a kid enjoys brushing teeth, let alone with toothpaste and in this particular instance, a brown one.  Perhaps I was raised and indoctrinated with the idea the white equates with purity, clean and hygiene.  Or rather, it is the successful toothpaste commercial that caused me stay with white toothpaste for the last fifty years and counting. What ever that may be, it never occurs to me that brown color has similar or even better functions for that matter.

I am no connoisseur in tooth paste and doubt if one is out there at all.  Keeping one eye shut, I tried out a dab of this gooey brown during a morning routine.  Put aside the color, I was not sure what was ahead in this episode.  As its scent made the first contact, I thought it was one of those OTC (over the counter) cough syrup.  After procrastinated for another second, I finally gave in and start scrubbing.  Now, that’s strange.  Once made its landing, the taste was not bad at all, and in fact there was a mild menthol soothingness more subtle than the brand I used to.  The cough syrup scent was quickly replaced by taste like molasses, little sweeter and cool, and most of all, it last longer.  

Indeed, there is menthol as ingredient as well as a bunch of others with tongue twisting names, but to my utter relief and surprise, there is no triclosan in the gel.  Triclosan is a very potent antibacterial chemical and when in high dosage, it will terminate the user as well as the bugs.

So, in this respect, my hats off to it.  But of course, I cannot based on one finding and crown this toothpaste with all my heart.  There is still this color to battle with.  Imagine one has to go about his daily business with the wrong hand, his diary would certainly sounds like a combat log.  Such is also true with taste.  It certainly does not taste like Coke.  Summing this up, this Ganodenma Reishi Propolis Toothpaste would not be an issue should one get used to it.  And as a bonus, if used liberally after spicy meals, it certainly would enhance your personality from the perspective of the opposite sex. 

Despite of the health wonder it prescribes on the package, I would stay with my dental floss and rinse out thoroughly for the moment.  And hopefully one day, as I give it a squeeze, it is the white stuff my teeth have relied on for decades.

chiahuib68-Today, I just enjoyed my first cup of Sun Gertain Reishi.

Today, I just enjoyed my first cup of Sun Gertain Reishi.  Sun Gertain Reishi “tea” does not contain any tea leaves or caffeine.  Yet, it’s a tea in the sense that it’s prepared by steeping a bag of select ingredients in hot water.  Personally, I’m a fan of teas and I believe in the wisdom of consuming foods and drinks that are organic and health-promoting.  Reishi has been extensively researched and well-documented as having very powerful health-promoting properties; so naturally, I was eager to try Sun Gertain Reishi. 

Sun Gertain Reishi comes packed in a beautifully designed and aesthetically appealing box.  The perfect enjoyment of a quality tea always begins with the initial presentation, and Sun Gertain Reishi is attractively packaged.  Opening the box of Sun Gertain Reishi, I was delighted to see each tea bag individually sealed.  The most important reason to drink reishi tea is to benefit from the powerful healing properties of reishi.  With any organic product, from the moment the package is unsealed, oxidation begins and potency can begin to diminish.  Sun Gertain’s airtight packets grant the assurance that each bag will always be at the perfect peak of freshness and healthful potency when opened. 

Boiling water in my cup, I opened the first packet and dropped the bag into the water.  Immediately, I noticed how beautiful the tea bag itself is.  Traditional tea bags are made of cloth or paper which effectively holds the ingredients; however, the contents inside the bag are not visible.  Sun Gertain Reishi tea bags are delightfully different.  Each Sun Gertain bag is perfectly formed of transparent micro-mesh which allows clear viewing of the premium ingredients held within the bag.  Reishi steeping in cup, I admired the textures, colors and appearance of the reishi within the teabag.  A gentle scent arose which made me think more of a mild soup than a tea.  I began to sip.  The flavor was delicate and mild.  As the bag steeped longer, the flavor intensified with the distinctive, slightly bitter characteristics of the organic Reishi.  Once the full flavor had been released, the flavor was somewhat unusual and odd to me.  While I would not describe it as delicious, the taste wasn’t bad either.  Personally, I enjoy variety, and the flavor of Sun Gertain Reishi offers a unique, distinctive contrast with common leaf teas.  It’s a smooth-drinking beverage, and the experience is complimented greatly with the knowing that every sip is a practice in medicinal therapy for the body.   

As someone who loves teas and health-promoting beverages, I have long enjoyed the green teas of Taiwan’s pristine high mountains.  For generations, Taiwan has held the reputation of producing many of the best green teas in the world.  In addition, the thousands-of-years-old, profound Chinese wisdom and tradition of promoting health through organic substances is very much alive today in modern Taiwan.  Home to a rich world-class tea tradition as well as the ancient traditions of Chinese herbal medicine, Taiwan is also a world leader in high technology and cutting-edge production.  Thus Taiwan is naturally the perfect home of Sun Gertain Reishi – the union of nature’s timeless wonders and the highest standards of modern quality assurance.  I am delighted to discover Sun Gertain Reishi.  With its powerful, health-promoting reishi, Sun Gertain Reishi is a drink I consider worthy of evaluation for frequent consumption.     

CHEN-Ganoderma Lucidum soup

When the security of my community handed me the package that had just arrived, I wondered what was so heavy inside. Opening the package, I couldn’t help laughing out. To my surprise, the canned soup I was going to test (and taste) was such a huge can that I had to hold it with both hands.

      Unlike tomato or corn canned soup we usually see in a supermarket, Sun Gertain Ganoderma Lucidum Soup weighs 1.7 kg and is able to serve 6 to 9 people. Ganoderma Lucidum (a.k.a. Red Reishi or Ling Zhi in Chinese) started to be used in Asian medicine thousands of years ago. Numerous research has reported the benefits of Red Reishi. I’ve seen Red Reishi capsules used for supplement but never seen Red Reishi canned soup. The particular soup includes not only high-quality Red Reishi cultivated naturally by the Sun Gertain Bio Farm but also 28 natural herbs. Reading the clear description posted on the can, I couldn’t wait to ask my mom to cook a Red Reishi hot pot for dinner.

      I had to say the big canned soup came at the right time. On a cold, rainy day, nothing is better than a bowl of hot soup, especially when you know it’s good for your health! The soup actually tasted a little bit bitter, but it’s quite acceptable. To be exact, the mild bitterness made me feel that I was eating something beneficial for my health, and consequently, my body began to get warm, which I always need in winter. It’s amazing that all kinds of food materials seemed to go well with the soup.

      I like to enjoy a hot pot with my family in winter. There have been various kinds of soup or stock developed in market for a hot pot. In addition to chicken stock, kimchi soup, vegetable stock…, now I have a new choice: Red Reishi soup!

      When women are pursuing magic tricks to make themselves younger and prettier, drinking or eating something nutritious has become a trend due to its convenience. If you don’t know what you are having and are not sure about the effect, why not try the 100% natural, made by a high-quality ISO 9001 certified manufacturer in Taiwan, effective Ganoderma Lucidum soup?

Scott-toothpaste

For a lot of reasons, I hate brushing my teeth.  So it's nice to have found a toothpaste that's the opposite of everything else on the shelves.

Ganodenma Reishi Propolis Toothpaste is almost the Anti-Toothpaste.

Walk down the toothpaste aisle of a store and you're assaulted by an array of products that are essentially the same, though each of them screams to you that it is different. Special. Unique. Each brand wants you to believe that it alone will clean your teeth, freshen your breath, and invigorate your sex life.

I'm waiting for a toothpaste that promises I can learn to play the piano with regular use. 

Brushing your teeth is like shaving or cleaning your ears: it must be done so we do it.

But toothpaste makers try too hard to make brushing your teeth fun and exciting. They add all sorts of chemicals; fluoride I can understand because it's actually good for teeth, and detergents help it foam up. But the flavorings linger for hours and spoil everything else I enjoy.

Coffee, juice, milk, soft drinks all taste awful after tooth brushing.

So I was impressed with Ganodenma Reishi Propolis Toothpaste.

It doesn't try to entertain me while brushing, and it doesn't try to make me think I'm brushing my teeth with candy.

Instead, the stuff has almost no flavor and it doesn't howl with sweetness.

Reishi mushrooms have been used for thousands of years to treat arthritis as it helps renew living bone and cartilage. Teeth, too, are living tissue and benefit from reishi.

So, do I now love brushing my teeth? No. It's still a chore of personal hygiene. But at least when I'm done brushing I can enjoy a cup of coffee.

Scott-aroma therapy

When I was offered the opportunity to write about aroma therapy, I leaped at it. After all, I'm a big fan of aromas; the smell of good beef on an open fire is a delightful form of therapy just before dinner. I love the aroma of fresh-mowed hay, which smells like hard work that is well done.

The odors of oil, gasoline and wax combine to put me in mind of my racing days, going 250 km per hour in a car I built.

And I really love it when my wife wears the French perfume I got her three years ago: $200 U.S. for 60ccs at the duty free store in the Tokyo Narita airport.  My wife doesn't want to use it often because it costs so much. Instead, it sits there, slowly evaporating.

The way things smell is deeply ingrained in our minds, our memories and our emotions.

Funeral wreathes in America are usually made of carnations, so to Americans the smell of these flowers brings on feelings of sadness, grief and loss. My Taiwanese neighbors say the same thing about the odor of incense burned at Buddhist funerals.

What surprised me, therefore, about Poreishi Aromatherapy Skin Sauna Pack was the absence of any strong smell. Instead, there is a light, earthy fragrance from the reishi mushrooms, but not much else.

But the aroma therapy's effect was genuine and noticeable. As it simmered in hot water,  carried away by the steam throughout our home, everyone seems to get calmer and more focused. It was a rainy, windy day so we were all cooped up indoors. Our 14-month old son went from crabby to calm and happy as the aroma therapy spread.

It was a soothing, pleasant experience.

Like many modern homes in Taiwan we have a shower but no bathtub. My wife is already planning on trying this aroma therapy the next time we have a hotel with a tub. She plans to sink into the warm water and let the aroma therapy pack work its magic; as the warm water soothes her muscles she knows the reishi aroma therapy with soothe her spirit.

Maybe she'll come out so calm and happy that she can use her perfume without fretting about the cost.

Scott-face masque

I confess, I have never had a facial treatment, until now.

After a fun afternoon of football, auto racing or hunting, a group of guys simply will not make it a perfect day by getting a facial – and maybe our nails done.

My wife, Victoria, on the other hand, loves it, so I let her take the lead in my first facial, using the Poreishi Mushroom Reishi Facial Mask.

Perhaps it was prophetic that my first-ever 'facial' experience was on October 31, Halloween, the night we all dress up in scary costumes.

Victoria put on the first mask, to show me how, and then I donned my own. We looked like two silly versions of Jason Voorhees, the evil villain of the 'Friday the 13^th' horror movies, known for wearing a hockey mask.

I expected our 14-month-old son, Seymour, to shriek in terror until I realized he'd never seen any horror movies in his life. Instead, he looked at his Mommy and Daddy and giggled, waiting for us to do something else funny.

My first mask was cool and damp, with a natural earth fragrance thanks to the reishi mushrooms. Research on reishi mushrooms shows that they are unique in their ability to restore and heal human tissue, based on more than 4,000 years of use in traditional Asian medicine.

Removing the mask, there was no greasy feeling; Victoria says many facial treatments make the skin feel tighter, but not  in a good way, just constricted. The Poreishi mask instead left my face feeling smooth and refreshed.

Two showers, a shave and a day later my face still feels different. I've lived with a dryness for so long that I didn't miss it until it was gone.

It makes me want to invite my guy friends over to watch sports, drink beer and then do facials together. Well, not really. But this is something I could do for myself regularly. 

Scott-Product review – supplement

Product review – supplement

My high school football coach taught me an important lesson that would affect me for life: running and weight lifting would keep me young, slim and fit.

Today I am being punished for all my hard work with painful knees, ankles, elbows and shoulders. But Poreishi's supplement made with reishi mushrooms may change that. Reishi has been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years, in particular to treat arthritis.

For more than 20 years I ran about 6 kilometers a day – in total I've run the circumference of the Earth. Running is great for the heart, lungs and immune system. Several times each week I also pumped iron, building muscle mass and bone mass. And girls really liked the results. With time, the muscles begin to ache if you forget to work out.

The price was paid in cartilage, the spongy cushion between moving bones. With every step and every curl I was wearing away my cartilage to the point of developing arthritis.

Arthritis is often a type of inflammation; the immune system thinks the knee is infected and overreacts, causing great pain. It's  an evil disease. It does not kill, but instead steals life by making every activity difficult and painful.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says 50 million Americans suffer from arthritis. Globally that means more than 1.1 billion people suffer needless pain in their joints every day.

Which is where reishi comes in. For several years I have used a combination of treatments and enjoyed some relief. Glucosamine improves movement. Gelatin powder, made from animal bones, provides the raw material to repair cartilage. Occasionally I use anti-inflammation drugs.

What's amazing is the effect of the reishi supplement. In just a few days that constant, lingering pain has gone away.

New research shows that inflammation is also linked to heart disease and a wide range of other ailments. That's probably why reishi is proven to give relief in a number of problems, by treating the root cause.

The effect on the rest of my life is impressive. I'm more active and  animated. I no longer brace myself for pain when I pick up my child or climb the stairs.

I'm even starting to get the old itch back, deep in my muscles. They miss the exercise.

公司辦聚會與高階主管會議，一路上我們從台北信義區過隧道就抵達石碇，原來石碇跟我過去的印象變好多，改變好多，現在交通方便開不到15分鐘就到了。

 

會議的場所是在石碇往平溪方向，經過了石碇交流道，看到大排長龍的大塞車，慶興阿寶沒有選到宜蘭，不然那次肯定很多人都遲到，頭兒就又要開罵了...

而場長更早之前的祖父是北部的茶農，後來越做越大，因為品茶功夫一流，轉型成為貿易商，賣的茶葉都外銷到英國等地，也因此祖先很早就與石碇鄉的東方美人茶結緣。而現在場長的兒子更安排到歐洲的農業大國-荷蘭，荷蘭最著名的就是乳酪、風車與鬱金香，其中鬱金香的農業育種篩選、生化測試...等都是強項，說到這難怪場長所種出來的靈芝不怕沒人買，場長說他所栽培的方式與一般的栽培方式不同，如今更因其靈芝栽培產量時間長且有限，因此水漲船高，往往都還沒採收就已經預定一空了。...結果我後來明查暗訪之下...還真的是這樣。台北會議-台北藥膳餐廳.台北美食旅遊.草原餐廳.景觀餐廳

 

抵達農場先是經過了一個讓人感覺警備森嚴的牌坊大門，蜿蜒而上就抵達了，不過因為那天的場控跟我們說車子都要停在上面，步入第二個大門，放眼一望，是一大片的草原，花花草草美不勝收@!!

當天開會分兩邊，一邊是高階部門主管會議，現場的設備也很不錯，音響還是百萬級的山水。

一邊是業務主管會議。

農場的另一邊正在對馬來西亞的農業團貴賓，進行專業的生態導覽解說。

   到處都是美景。

上廁所的時候看到他們的餐廳貨車正在將用完的空米酒瓶一箱箱上車運回，感覺賣得很好耶，不是用黑心米酒!這點是可以肯定的!

農場很注重生態，好多奇奇怪怪的昆蟲，場長說這隻是北台灣特有種，但是我忘記名字啦!~~~暈台北會議-台北藥膳餐廳.台北美食旅遊.草原餐廳.景觀餐廳

夜色黃昏，我們也即將吃傳說中的藥膳美食了!!

農場的菜色介紹

晚上有朋友說要去平溪放天燈，但是因為主管他們開會實在是太愛講了，整個行程都delay，還好附近的村長介紹我們去買天燈，索性就在農場草原上放了起來，真是太有人情味的村落!

平溪天燈一日遊-平溪美食,平溪民宿,2010平溪天燈節,美食團

放平溪天燈與平溪老街一日遊

幸福 always happen台北縣平溪天燈節！每年元宵節對台北縣平溪鄉來說是特別的日子，這一天平溪民眾不僅進行猜燈謎、提花燈等一般的元宵活動，更重要的是施放天燈祈福。近年來，在台北縣政府與平溪鄉民有計畫地推廣之下，放天燈成為北台灣元宵節最具有民俗特色的活動，更與台南鹽水蜂炮齊名，而有「南蜂炮，北天燈」的雅號。

近幾年在元宵節期間舉行施放天燈祈福活動，參加的人潮一年比一年多，而今年的平溪天燈節將以幸福為主軸，特別將活動取名「幸福 always happen」，為原本就富有人文歷史氣息的天燈節注入一股甜美滋味，為平溪天燈節增色不少。

第一天

石碇沿途看到超可愛的攤販車，賣養生石碇茶葉的。
看著網路下載來的深坑石碇平溪美食地圖，我們先到民宿放行李，那天有打電話到民宿問，民宿主人是說下石碇交流道下之後開車只要5分鐘就到了，不遠，因此我們一家從石碇交流道沿著鄉道往平溪方向51.7K公里的地方下去，飆太快~~~差點就走過頭，先去民宿放行李，免得提來提去。

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食-看著網路下來的地圖，循著路找到民宿，差點走過頭，先去民宿放行李，免得提來提去。這是從他們網站上下載下來的地圖，他們網站也有石碇週邊的景點介紹，可以上去看看

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食-我們一到他們農場依映入眼簾的就是美輪美奐的大草皮與視野開闊的山際，依山傍水，農場民宿四周環山(北邊有光明禪寺、西邊南港群山、東邊有仙跡岩、南邊有相當著名的皇帝殿)，農場緊臨著溪谷，還可以聽到溪水瀑布的聲音。

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-農場還真的是很開心耶，不只種有機蔬菜、栽培靈芝、還養動物咧(民宿主人說他養過台灣土狗、軍用獵犬、山羊、黑山豬、烏骨雞....太開心了吧？...)，有看到嗎？遠方的小木屋居然是給寵物住的，乾脆開寵物民宿算了，反正民宿草皮那麼大片，真是太豪華了吧！！

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-從三才靈芝眺望皇帝殿，我想傳說中的好山好水應該就是三才農場民宿最好的真實寫照了。 平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-農場民宿其中一個戶外涼亭。

我們想說時間才下午兩點時間還早，就跑去石碇老街溜搭，開車到石碇老街大約10分鐘沿途經過石碇淡蘭古道吊橋拍照，但是那天，天氣太好太熱，全程又長，沒人想走，只在石碇吊橋前拍拍照就跑去石碇休息站吹冷氣閒晃。

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-到坪林可以來石碇玩-石碇淡蘭吊橋

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-看著美食雜誌的報導，石碇休息站有個什麼｢五行拉麵｣(是吃了會金木水火土的大補丸嗎？好怪的麵)，是休息站的招牌麵：上次看的新聞報導，說交通部長前往國道各個服務區視察安全與管理，連交通部長到石碇服務區視察時都點了她，我們大家中餐早已吃超飽，原本肚子不是很餓想說合吃一碗，弄到最後因為太好吃了，大家變成一人點一碗，好吃到滋滋叫，清爽不油膩沒有負擔。

真是貪吃呀！ 

石碇五路財神廟與姑娘廟，到的時候已經傍晚了， 這時我們拿著三才靈芝生態農場民宿給我們的天燈，看著天燈冉冉升起，不禁想起當初在平溪跨年幾千盞天燈飛起的美麗，默默的祈禱我們的希望都能夠實現，有朝一日，大家生兒育女大家再一起回來石碇這，感受年輕時的美好時光與今日非凡的成就！

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-超誇張的放天燈大排長龍，最少300公尺。今年因為放天燈，車子只能停在交通管制區以外，所有的人都只能搭乘接駁車上去。不過因為我們有石碇台北民宿的通行卡，因此可以開車進去，一路上真的是塞爆了。

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-放平溪天燈回三才農場最後一刻大絕招

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-晚上從平溪一路開回石碇時，我們深覺我們住在石碇是正確的，因為放天燈人潮真的很多，整個平溪鄉真的是熱鬧非凡，人聲鼎沸這於我們這種已經脫離大學時代幾年，步入中年的上班族來說，睡眠是特別這種滴~~

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-我們剛從平溪放天燈回民宿的時候已九點多，民宿另外一邊的停車場的車子還是客滿的，本來擔心會不會吵到很晚，還好民宿主人早就為我們設想好了，大約十點前所有來吃美食的客人陸續回家。

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-晚上民宿主人怕大家無聊，一直陪著我們，我們跟著民宿主人做靈芝相關的DIY，民宿主人說他不吝嗇將這些DIY技藝傳承給更多人，而熊哥俏皮的問主人想跟他學種靈芝，結果得到的回答竟然是：｢具備自有資金最少三百萬以上，也具備有最壞的打算(有可能因為一次靈芝細菌感染而讓您損失百萬以上)｣聽完著個，熊哥馬上轉移話題到甲蟲DIY要如何做比較漂亮，哈哈，超好笑。

  平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-我們一群人晚上就以美姐為中心，哼著輕鬆歌曲，在外面千坪草皮上數著星星，一派地享受整個夜晚寧靜，房間雖然沒有飯店般的奢華，但是乾淨衛生簡潔卻是合法民宿的最佳保證，晚上真的是睡得特別熟，不外乎這裡會被風水老師稱為群龍護珠元寶祥地。

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-台北民宿夜晚真的好美，可以看到星星

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-晚上阿胖跟小豬喝酒喝到茫，還說好酒沒喝酒喝那麼爽，完全不用怕酒駕，醉了後面就是民宿，躺下來就可以睡(結果到最後還不是大家抬著他們兩個回房...窘..)

第二天
從來沒有睡過這麼好過，一大清早，聽到玻璃外頭有鳥叫的聲音，一打開窗簾！！！竟然是台灣藍鵲？!居然在離我不到三十步距離，我趕緊跑到隔壁間通知其他人，大家都好開心，從來沒有這麼近距離接近過藍鵲，吃早餐的時候我們也跟女主人說我們看到了甚麼，原來這個地方的蔬菜都是有機無毒沒有噴灑農藥，難怪這麼種的蔬果都吃起來那麼健康自然。平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-大家上班難得出來玩，都約好隔天睡到自然醒，爬起來我還睡眼惺忪的時候一打開房門，哇!!馬上就醒了，我記得這麼藍的藍天我只有在以前墾丁家鄉看過，不過民宿主人說其實石碇最美的時候是在飄著細雨的時候，我想之後若石碇下雨我要來走走看看。

也難怪藍鵲會相中三才農場民宿這個地方築巢，早上農場主人還招待我們做臉部SPA，敷起來好神奇，凌凌的皮膚變白的超多，笑他原本是從非洲來的也不為過，

  平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-我們選擇在外面享用美食，哈阿

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-最後女主人恰似捨不得我們離開似的，頻頻吩咐民宿管家再去巡一次房間是否有東西遺漏，一直叮嚀我們待會去動物園與老街記得幫她跟一些在老街的老朋友問好，也不斷提醒我們要留意隨身的行李，望著民宿男主人與女主人的背影逐漸變小，心裡頭不禁有著無限的不捨，再會了！

平溪天燈節,平溪民宿,平溪美食,美食團-深坑老街小吃，真的是人聲鼎沸，一路狂吃，也見到了幾位之前民宿主人的好朋友，還特別給我們大家打折咧！！
