In Florida we went from a mild winter, to maybe 4 days of Spring and NOW summer and it isn’t not even summer! As a Northerner who moved to Florida for her southern husband I hate it. I know I should be grateful for palm trees and sunshine but the heat SUCKS!
Here is a recipe I found from InStyle magazine that I think is pretty cool in more ways than one.
I love this recipe!
1 cup of room-temperature water.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of Agave nectar
1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Place all in a glass. Stir and enjoy!
And it makes you pee lots because it is hydrating,cooling and eliminating!
The beauty of this recipe is it is Aussie super-model Elle Macpherson’s lemonade drink recipe and we know how fabulous her body is along with those LONG lovely legs.
No wonder she has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated five times! Drink up and refresh yourselves!
Ho! Ho! Ho!

My Polish side of the family has some delightful recipes this soup is one of them. It is so refreshing in the summertime and while strawberries are in season especially.
What makes it special are these ingredients: (and the Polish FAMILY memories)
1 lb fresh strawberries
1 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp of good quality vanilla extract
2 cups of vanilla Greek yogurt
*whipped cream
*fresh mint leaves
Clean and hull strawberries and place in a blender,combine the rest of the ingredients except whipped cream and mint.Blend until smooth.
CHILL for a few hours or overnight.Serve in pretty bowls and top with dollop of whip cream and garnish with a few mint leaves.
Yummy,creamy and dreamy taste of a recipe from Poland.My mom would be proud I still keep close in my heart and continue these traditions.
Do you have a YUMMY or unique recipe you’d like to share with me?
I’d LOVE to hear from you!
*Yummy photo from the website Cool Photo Projects.
While strawberries are still in season,you might also want to enjoy my recipe for a Refreshing Strawberry Face MASK for your skin.
Here’s what you’ll need:
8 fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons of local honey
Mash the strawberries with a spoon and add in the honey. This will make a fruity honey filled face mask. The strawberries contain Vitamin C and alpha-hydroxy acids that exfoliate the skin gently in a natural way.
If your skin is looking dull,tired,sun damaged or prone to a blemish you will LOVE what this mask does for your skin.
Leave on your face for at least fifteen minutes and rinse with luke warm water and a wash cloth.Follow with your moisturizer and eye gel.
They say that Hollywood Celebrities like Catherine Zeta Jones use strawberries in their beauty rituals.
This fresh mask will last up to a week in an airtight container. I prefer to store in glass NOT plastic container.
*As I have mentioned before always do a spot test on the side of your cheek or neck to see if you are allergic to any of these ingredients. If you know you are do not use this recipe.
Get cooking and enjoy these two delicious delights one for your body and one for your face. YUM!
Who knew something you usually use to eat with could help with puffy eyes?
Sometimes I wake up and the skin on and around my eyes is swollen. This could happen for many reasons but whatever caused it isn’t the problem, getting rid of the tired look is the hard part. What I have learned to do with that is keep two regular, metal, dining spoons in the freezer. I like to leave them in there all the time because I never know when I’ll need them, but they only need to be in there long enough to get to the temperature of the freezer. When they are ready, run them under some room temperature water just for a second so they will not stick to your skin, and apply the back side of the spoon to each eyelid or wherever you feel puffy. Leave it on for about 10 minutes or so and the ugly is gone!
This is a Saturday date night tip from Kelli, I work with Noreen at the Makeup Studio.
