SASSY Water!

I put the book - "Flat Belly Diet" on my list of favorites yesterday. The diet includes this drink that is supposed to help alleviate belly bloat. Here is the recipe. Let me know if you try it!

The Sassy Water Recipe

On the Flat Belly Diet you'll begin with a 4-day jump start, and one key ingredient is Sassy Water

Sassy Water

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Best Sangria Mix!

I have a wonderful recipe for Sangria, but it takes some time to prepare. We had company drop by and so I tried this Sangria mix that I bought at GFS on a lark. It is Daily's Sangria Mix. Add one bottle of the mix to one bottle of sparkling white wine and add fruit (if desired). I emptied a bag of frozen/sweetened fruit to the mix and voila, everyone loved it. When you are in a hurry to serve something delicious - try it!



Happy Thursday!

Happy 4th of July!

Thanks to all the brave soldiers who have served in all the wars/conflicts so that we maintain our freedom!

Lip Treatment SPF36

Now that summer is here and the heat from the sun is a beast we need to protect our lips! I have found great success with Shiseido Sun Protection Lip Treatment - SPF 36. It really provides wonderful protection!


Keep cool and Happy Tuesday!

The Aftermath!!!

Well, storms were overwhelming this weekend. Starting with Friday - trees were down everywhere and no electricity in the city. We live just outside the city and maintained power, but my Mom (88) lost power so we moved her in with us. The last few days have just been about clean up and thankfulness that the storm wasn't any worse. In our community there was lots of damage, but no fatalities, thank God! Some family still came together for the planned reunion. We cleaned Moms yard and enjoyed "light" picnic fare afterwards. My great nephews were there (ages 3 and5) and oh the joy that children bring. They were so happy to play with squirt guns, ice cubes and water bottles. They took turns cooling everyone off! I hope you all are surviving these storms and these high temps! Stay Cool and Happy Monday!



ps- My posts may be sporatic this week as I will be entertaining my Mom ;-)
