I am so excited to announce that I am a Real Goodness Ambassador. Real Goodness is a lactose free milk, created by Europe’s leading dairy product manufacturer, Valio of Finland, and now available in the US.

I heard about the search for Real Goodness Ambassadors from Blue Suit Media, and I applied immediately – Real Goodness is a lactose free milk by Valio of Finland, and I can almost guarantee you will not find another blogger around here who has drank more Valio milk and Valio lactose free milk (called HYLA milk in Finland) than I have! Ok, maybe you can, but I drank it for 21 years of my life, every day, so that’s pretty brand loyal, right?
Often when I am asked to be a “brand ambassador”, I say no, because I don’t really feel that passionate about many household brands – and I have realized why.. Because many of the brands we are the most passionate about, are the brands we have used since we were children. And my mom didn’t use Tide, she used OMO, my mom didn’t buy Hershey’s chocolate, she bought Fazer chocolate. This time I can say, that my mom bought Valio milk, and I have loved it since I was a little girl, and have so many childhood memories with Valio milk.
When growing up, I was lactose intolerant. I hated it, because I have always loved milk, still do. It has luckily gotten better, and I drink milk every day, but there are still some food combinations that I can not tolerate well, like I can always feel it, when I eat soft ice cream or mashed potatoes. The combination of starch and lactose is just the worst if you have any level lactose intolerance. (Lactose is the a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products and lactose intolerance is the body’s inability to digest lactose.)
