I love a mixed drink as much as the next broad, but the last thing I need when I'm sweating on the beach is a dehydrating alcoholic beverage. My solution? Mocktails! Sure, mocktails might seem childish to some, but they can also be refreshing, tasty, and even healthy (if you play your cards right)! Last year at the beach, Danielle and I made a couple of Safe Sex on the Beaches (initially attracted to the clever name) using this simple recipe. They were mega delicious, and we both felt fancy while drinking them. We liked them...
Kirby and I went out in search of hand towels for our bathroom a couple of days ago, and I came across some really tasty looking tea at Ross. We found a couple of hand towels as well, but they weren't an ideal color.. so we decided to head over to Marshalls and come back to Ross if we couldn't find anything there.

I've been able to justify my consumption of wine thus far because of the antioxidants that it provides and the effect that it has on both good and bad cholesterols. Apparently, though, dark grape...
I drink a lot of juice, and I've made it a personal goal of mine to only drink juices that add something other than sugar and water to my diet. Because of this, I've obviously been doing some research. I've learned some pretty interesting facts about all sorts of juices, but apple juice is what I'd like to discuss right now. Other than buying organic, I've never been too picky when buying apple juice. Apparently, whether or not the apple juice I'm buying is organic is is only one...
