Fun Chalkboard Stuff here at Cam's



Redoing the chalkboard menu is fun and time consuming. Here's what we have so far.

FIRST OPEN MIC POETRY NIGHT!


Now we're having our FIRST OPEN MIC POETRY NIGHT!
Trying to bring together a community of like minds is challenging!
Camellia Sinensis House of Curiosities and Tea Parlour, or Cam's, has a variety of activities for writers and artists (or wannabees).
We have Artist Haven on Tues nights from 6-8pm where artists can get together and chat and make art.
Now our weekly Open Mic night is on Thursdays from 7-9 and we invite anyone to come and read.
We have a stage and a very comfortable environment. There is no cover!
Free Parking behind the shop.

Look forward to seeing you! Let's start a strong community here in North Central Jersey!

Tongiht 6pm Dr Katz, 8pm Secret of Nimh

See you there!
Free 2hr Parking behind the shop, unlimited after 6pm.

5 Foods You Should Eat Everyday

Interesting Article. Of course, others could bring up other foods, but it's still pretty right on:

#1 Leafy greens
Medical experts call them one of nature's miracle foods. Leafy greens like Swiss chard and kale are high in nutrients like folate and vitamins A and C that can lower your risk of cancer. Just one cup of dark, leafy greens a day could also prevent diabetes and high blood pressure.

#2 Nuts
Many nutritionists recommend nuts like almonds, cashews and walnuts because they're high in natural fiber. Fiber slows your digestive process, keeping hunger and unhealthy mid-afternoon snacks at bay. Goodbye vending machine runs!

#3 Onions
Studies show that consuming onions on a regular basis may reduce symptoms of asthma and the risk of developing stomach cancer. Add them to soups and stir-fry, and just remember -- the stronger the onion, the greater the health benefit.

#4 Whole grains
Refined grains, like white rice and pasta, have lost 90% of their nutritional value through the refining process. As if that weren't reason enough to choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa and whole oats, a recent study showed that a diet rich in whole grains actually flattens your belly by reducing fat storage in your lower abdominal region.

#5 Yogurt
Making yogurt part of your daily eating routine can improve your digestion -- if you're buying the right stuff. Check that the label lists "active cultures" to make sure you're getting healthy probiotics, and pick a yogurt rich in vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis.
