I can’t believe how I used to live without an iPhone before now. It goes with me everywhere. I’d probably even take it in the shower if it was waterproof. Apple is definitely one of my all time favourite companies.
It all comes down to common sense really
No pomegranate in the list? Must not be enough of them sold in the US to qualify. Good stuff…best of all in antioxidants…and tasty, too!
